Thedebateonthesecondreading oftheLandBillwasopenedbyMr. GeorgeWyndham,whomoveditsrejection.InmanyrespectstheexChiefSecretarywastherightman fortheplace,inviewofthesituationwhichhadarisen.LandPurchaseundertheActofIgo;had completelybrokendowntheAct hassnappedinitsmostvitalparts; andasitisthepolicyofMr. Wyndhamandthosewhothinkwith himtodeclaretheActisgoingon swimmingly,andthatitwillcontinuetogo on,ifonlyenough moneyispouredintothecapacious andinsatiablemawofthelandlords, itwasfittin.tthattherklithon. gentlemanshouldhavethrusthimself forwardtoinveighagainstanyattemptatamendment.

Mr.Wyndhamadvancedthemost fantasticargumentsatrainstMr.Birrell'sRill. Heindulgedinvague generalitiesabout"impedingland Purchase butheneverattempted toexplainawaythedead-lockto which"rottenfinance"hasled.

TheChairmanoftheI'-ishParty followedMr.Wyndham. Inhis openingsentencesheexpr.sedthehollowmockeryanddish-'nestsofthose whochargedtheIrishPartywithat temptingtoimpedeLandPurchase.
