Lord Randolph Churchilrs style bears perhaps
some marks of his association with irish members.
Uis two sueachcs this week at Edinburgh abound

Gladstone i called criminal his statements are
described As flbricationS the object Of his writings

according to Lord Randolph, Is guSh. LORD Hart
ington is idotc." The motives of the Govern
p,ept are the lowest that can be conceived
Ministers care less than nothing for the rights or
the interests of the classes concerning whom they
are so specious and loud y what they want Is I"
retain those high and lucrative Offices which they
have disgraced7 They " unrnasked impostors'"
and as much more of the same SOU OF loose HI
vective as you like TO read.
.Whv.1 said one reader of The 7Jm's to another,
. does this paper print Lord Randolph ChurchlIs
speeches verbatm77 Probably answered the
other. because Lord Randolph sends his manu-
script TO the editor. and the editor is Mr.. Chen
ery." Now Mr.. Chenery as an editor is deficient in
a sense Of the proportion of things.
Lord Randolph, if he Is important to anybody
and he certainly ha3 an importance, Is so to the
Conservative party. But the Ore'n OF Conservatism
thinks il utcient to publish con soscd report OF
hi, Edinburgh performances. The Times gives MN
six columns The standard about two. Moreover
the latter Journal rebukes the rising voung Tory
in terms of great force and co-ency. He Is re-
linked and most dc,eryedly rcbukcd for assault

would be- glad 10 avail itself of his abilities IN de-

Lord George Hamilton has published reionder
10 the comment of Mr.. Chamberlain on his a>S"r-
ton that the member for Birmingham, who now

they are | have merely TO say that those state

George desires the following passage 10 be added 10
the quotation formerly given from his Tottcnham
speech:
