Otago Sympathy with Home Rule
It is a singular fact that; in Presby* ten an Otago the feeling in favour of Home Rule appears stronger and mere unanimous than in any other part of the colony. Private letters received from Dunedin describe the recent meeting there on the. subject as being the most representative and enthusiastic gathering held in that city for nimy years past. The proceedings were commenced by singing the National Anthem, and judging from reports, the speeches were of a very high order. Mr Bracken, in par- 1 ticular, made a most eloquent and poeticul speech. All Four Dunedin daily papers are ayowed sympathisers with Mr Gladstone in his efforts to secure Home Rule for .Ireland, and it is evident that in this respect they correctly represent the feelings of the community which supports them. — Post.
