Dr.Hanna is neither an Orangeman nor a Tory.

He says there are but three known Orangemen among the clerical members of the General Assembly of the Irish Presbyterian Church, which unanimously pronounced against Mr.Gladstone's scheme of Home Rule, and not more than a dozen Tories.

Of the 550 members of the Assembly, 538, he says, were followers of Mr.Gladstone before he adopted the politics of Mr.Parnell; and only three out of the whole number have given him their support.

In the country at large, Dr.Hanna puts down the Unionists at two millions, of whom 1,200,000 are Protestants, and 800,000 Catholics; and he maintains that if the Parliamentary representatives were chosen by a general vote, the Parnellite 80 would be cut down to 62; while the Unionists would number 44.

He regards the Parnellite policy as "an organised imposture," and firmly believes that an Irish Parliament in Dublin would now mean civil war in Ireland.
