Mr. T. D. SULLIVAN, M.P.
The following references from the Nation newspaper, owned and edited by Mr. Sullivan, M.P., deal with the difficult reverses which attended the British troops in Afghanistan and Zululand:—
"The Robber Army will continue in Zululand, and Irishmen have the gratification of knowing that the Parliament of the English is becoming as useless to themselves as it is to us, and that our arm is long enough to work hurt and harm on the enemy in at least some parts of the world."—Nation, June 7th, 1879.
"The operations of the invaders, the English forces, are those of ruthless plunderers and cut-throats."—Nation, 3rd January, 1880.
"The world would continue to believe that he (General Roberts) has been in command simply of a corps Of hangmen."—Nation, 21st February, 1880.
"Brag, bluster, and bloodshed were always dear to the English mind."—Nation, 13th March, 1880.
"And now the news reaches us, gladdening every honest heart, that one of the most signal defeats ever inflicted on British arms in any part of the world has just been inflicted on them by Ayoub Khan."—Nation, 7th August, 1880.
