no less a person than the Marquis Of Harrington as

The spectacle of Lord Harrington taking the lead In
q meeting the avowed object of which was ~ secure
the election of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. rs one to fill
timid Liberals lord HartingtOns own set, that Isl
with dsInay, and 20 turn steader heads than those
of Birmingham. Nr. Joseph Chamberlain is radi-
cal of the radicals the most powerful parsonage IN
the most radical city in England the author OF that
famous paper in The FOrtEghtly Reriep which pro
voked tie Liberal organ in London to read him
soemnly and bitterly out Of the Liberal church, 80
radical was il the leader of the band which has
waged war unrelentlnRy against Mr.. Forster on the
education question: and which has taken an oath
never to forgive him. 1t is just possible that TINS
latter fact may have slightly predsposed Lord Hart
ington IN Mr. Chant ain's favor. for all his radl-
calism To hat. the same foes il part OF Ciccr0s
famous definition of friendship. Lord Hartingtonls
TOO well bred to hate anybody, and he wouid GER
tainly deny that he looked on Mr.. Forster 10 an
enemy. But MIR. Forster was Lord fiartlngiOns
competitor for the leadership of the Liberal party
which he might have I'D if he had persevered, and
is candidate for the successOrsp in the fullnes5 OF
time.
Nothing Lord Harrington could say on such an oc-
casion would be Ore significant than his mere pres
ence and his speech dill not 20 beyond the sale anu
expected limits. IL contains judic0us honnly oii the
party advantages Of union etween different sections
of the party. 1t holds cut the hand to advanced
Liberals and admonishes moderate Liberals that
they should not refuse TO cooperate with their rad
cal brethren. Lord Harrington denies the rlSht OF
any section to control the party-advce winch
either section may take to ITSELF for both are intol-
Grant He reafiiIms the declaration of his Bristol
speech which the Irish Home RulerG treated as
declaration of war. 1t was not 80 meant says Lord
Harrington, but from what he then said he will not
depart The Liberal party will never concede legs
latve independence nor AFOREMENTIONED education
70 Ireland. As those are the two cardinal points OF
the Home Rulers, the Liberal party cannot. OF
course, expect declining tAes, to be supported by
Home Rulers. There were Other parts OF LORD
Hartngtolis speech deserving attention, hut they
do not touch the sui jet of this letter. which In
meant to bring into relief two facts-thc renewal OF
