LIBERALS' REPLY.

TO THE UNIONIST LEADER, PER MR. LLOYD GEORGE. By Tc'leeraph—Press Aesociii-tlon-Copytf gM London, November 30. iir. Lloyd-George, Chancellor of tile Exchequer, speaking at ilolloway to delegates from the Liberal associations, said -that Mr. Sonar Law's (tho Unionist Leader) speech was an old Tory trick; w'hciievbr the people were- discontented tho Tories would raise another topic. Tiie land question was being confused with the Ulster question. When tho Tories pretended that they were ready to shed their blood for religious frc-edom and peace, it was nauseous hypocrisy. If lighting wcro begun it would not be all on one side. Ho concluded his speech with references to tho leasehold system and housing. Tho Tories, he said, were out to catch and pluck a gull, - while tho Liberals were out to fsed the hungry. The speaker aroused loud laughter by describing Sir Edward Carson as a vet dog in a Tory driiwingroom, a dog who had been dropped into tho I'ioyne and was miserable himself and a nuisance to everyone else. Tho Opposition was now begging the Liberals to give a biscuit to lure the dog away until it was dry. 'Remarkable, and successful, precautions were taken to protect Mr. LloydGcorge from Suffragettes during Ms •visit.
