Not illustrated.1903 Excerpt: ... GRATTAN STATES HIS POLICY 161 In a very confidential letter from Cooke, which was written during the session of 1794, there are some remarkable sentences, showing the part which Grattan had been playing and the effect it had upon at least one important member of the Government. ''You are doubtless extremely pleased/ he said, ''in England with the conduct of the Irish Parliament.... What would have been the effect of a strong parliamentary Opposition which could add the discontent of the moderate to the plots of the factious is easy to be conjectured. But now the support of the moderate conjoined to the force of Government is able to extinguish sedition... Much credit is due to Mr. Grattan. He told Sir J. Parnell last year privately that if the concessions in agitation were granted he would no longer give any vexatious opposition. He has more than made good his word, for he has given decided support.... My best opinion is that Grattan is the most important character in Ireland, and that attaching him to Mr. Pitt''s Government would be essential. This is difficult. He is very high-minded, and resentful, and suspicious. He is, however, very steady and honourable, and will act up to his professions. He has great sway over the public mind, and he must play such a part as not to lose his authority. He wants not, perhaps would not take, situation; he would stipulate for measures. If any compliment were shown him, he would like it immediately from Mr. Pitt. In the uncertainty of events his conduct here might be decisive, and therefore he should be early thought of. Government is strong in numbers. They want not aristocratical addition. They want the chief of the people/ Ponsonby''s Reform Bill was brought forward again, though without success, in 1794, and Grattan too...
