These 2 parties; while both for Home Rule; had different ideas about achieving it. Not certain who won election. It's not Redmond in these shots; he would be 60 at this time; though it could be some others associated with him. Or maybe they are Sinn Fein. IN any case; these folks must be the winners & have just heard the results.) . Ireland; Politics. | |
