The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1879-10-22

at the banquet at Manchester last night,
says: Such is the substance of the vindica-
ton with which Lord Salisbury is prepared to
appeal to the country, and it is stated with a
force which the opposition will find it hard
to repel. They have denounced our policy
so vehemently that, as Lord Salisbury urges,
their success at the next election would nat
urally be accepted by Europe as sign that
the work of the present ministry was to
be undone. He has shown, in a word, that
the interests of the empire and not of the
party will be the issue when the country is
appealed to, and he has given good reason
to believe that they have hitherto been safe
in his hands. .~
The Manchester Guardian concludes the
article on the same subject as follows: It is
this exaggeration of tone, this adoption of
wild expedients to meet illusory dangers
which has justly alarmed the country, If
the security of the empire be the object it IS
for the country to judge whether it is most
likely to be achieved by such measures or by
more cautious if less exciting methods.
Lord Salisbury Friday night referred to
Gladstone's limirless resources of sophistry,
not limited, as telegraphed from that city.
