DUBLIN, Feb. I'd, 1875.
tomorrow night, at Willis Rooms, London,
keader of the English Liberal party is to be
sss1ected in the place of Mr.. Gladstone. The
lection is practically made already, there

xsssember that this individual was Chief Sec
E&<ary for Ireland under Gladstone, and, as
saah was responsible for the ever be-remem-

- found for him than that given by Glasgow
8tSme Ruler on Saturday last, when he called
hfsn Lord Dundreary; only Harrington never
znnkes one laugh, even at his stupidity. 1t is
precisely however because he is what he is

zaHsoduced this subject here only to mention
8hat the ffty-nine Home Rulers have publicly
fkaolved to take no part in the selection of a
liberal leader. Thew were individually invited
To attend at Willis Rooms, but they declined

l64son to be independent of all political parties

Hobne Rule party, published a letter to this
eneot in the newspapers, and he and fourteen
0theE Home Rule N. P. Is, who happened to be
i iii s6wn on the day of the Land Conference
&e4e week, came unanimously to resolution
identical in substance with Mr.. Butts letter.
Z Thie resolution was sent to all the other Home
Re1o n. Pa, with the expires zion of a hope that
@hzE you'd agree to it's terms and have not
hestH that any one of them has sent an unfavor-
abs Reply. There are some amongst these
Aefskrer, who are pure Wings at heart, and
would be glad of any opportunity, such as the
tefffennent of the obnoxious Gladstone affords,
to13eatify themselves with the Liberal chiefs.
Some 81 them, therefore, although they may
mol have sent any answer to the Home Rule
Aghip, may put in appearance at the Liberal
nloStfng tomorrow evening, or may have sent
NFtsate note proffering allegiance to the
HAsA1 whip.
ho vacancy in Tipperary, caused by the
stGsEsment of Colonel White, is not the subject

Mitchell has been telegraphed to, to know
whether he means to stand, and his answer
win probably be here tomorrow. In case he
1ss decide to stand, his address will be issued
a. onee as it has been in the possession of a
xsfgnd of Mr.. Mitcheps for several months past,

etit0opOy, on Friday last, by his acceptance of
The post of Solicitor General for Ireland. He,
- course, seeks reelection, and being a sort of
t u. p, he will be reelected without oppo-

q opposition to the denominational system
