In one by-election, all the candidates endorsed by this man had to sign a pledge to vote with his party, except for one man, who ran for office in Galway.
In one by-election, all the candidates endorsed by this man had to sign a pledge to vote with his party, except for one man, who ran for office in Galway. Earlier, during the 1885 parliamentary elections, this man issued a manifesto ordering his followers to vote Tory, but realigned with the Liberals after falling out with Salisbury's government. The Times published fake letters allegedly signed by this man but actually written Richard (*) Pigott; those letters condoned the Phoenix Park murders. From jail, this man negotiated an agreement with William Gladstone that included concessions for land tenants called the Kilmainham Treaty. He was declared morally unfit for leadership and removed from power after a divorce suit by William O'Shea, the husband of this man's long-time mistress Katherine. For 10 points, name this man who was the first leader of the National Land League and a leader of the Irish Home Rule Party.
