LONDON. Oct Blu the debate on cloture
in the House Of Commons, to-day, Gibson,
conservative, moved an amendment in favor
of Il two-hlrds majority. He declared that
it was impossible to indicate the sense OF the
house by bare majority. lie pointed out
that Gladstone had offered to make this con-
cesson before the course of business was in
ierrupted at the last session by the PhGnix
Park murders. Was the freedom of the
house TO be killed by the great crime, which
gave Gladstone an excuse for withdrawing
the concession: Gladstone stated that the
government proposed cloture solely because
the business of the house could not proceed
without it. lie was justified in Withdrawing
the concession offered, as the opposition had
showed no sign of accepting It, lie former
ly offered to accept two-thirds majority
solely as tentative measure to prevent
waste of the session. Believing that expert
ence showed such a majority impracticable,
the Government would rather abandon the
plan than place the speaker in position
which would lay him open TO the charge OF
partisanship. The Government did not think
it right to say that If their plan was rejected
they would resign. The house must be the
judge regarding the transaction of its own
business, but two.thirds majority would be
a deterioration rather than improvement. In
an eloquent perora,ion in favor Of freedom
of speech and maintenance OF the dignity
and efficiency of the house, Gladstone ask
ed it TO adhere to what sense and principle
alike proclaimed the will OF the major
ity should prevail. Gladstone firmly adhered
to the wording OF the first rule and pointed
ont the impossibili,y Of gaggng large ma
jority of people.
