The clergy put forth their utmost exertions ; and they earned with them the bulk of the rural electors. The Catholic Liberals amongst the gentry of course were with Lord Greville to a man. The local Conservatives, perplexed and half incredulous, were neutral, or else supported the Martin side. Some of them took this latter course to spite the priests and Mr. Gladstone ; many did so from sincere and honourable sympathy with the principles of tolerance and civil liberty which in their judgment un...derlay the conflict. ' I had been all my life on the side of the Catholic clergy. On 334 NEW IRELAND.
nearly every public issue in Irish politics till now I had fought where they led. I was " Ultramontane " in the most extivmo application of that term. I honoured and admired the spirit in which on the whole the Catholic priests had exercised the poli- tical leadership or influence which historical circurr stances had placed in their hands. I had resisted, and would ever resist, attempts to exclude them from political action, or to deny their right to be largely deferred to in public affairs.
