The Canvass Begins to Grow Interesting
John Bright Will Re-Enter Politics.
LONDON, Sept 26.-The political campaign,
which has hitherto been devoid of life, begins to
glow. The prospect is that the occurrences of
the coming week will make electoral affairs
quite lively. Premier Salisbury will. on Tues
day, issue a Tory campaign manifesto.
This the Conservatives hope, will put new life
into the Tory cause The blast blown by the
'.grand old man" dissipated the seeds of dis
rupting discord which were fast taking root in
the divisions of the Liberal structure: but the
edifce has been neglected since. and damaging
growths are again fastening upon it. Lord
Salisbury's followers entertain the conviction
that he can blow a counterblast
that will shake the weakening
Gladstonian temple to the ground. John Bright
has determined to re-enter politics as an advo
cate of the restoration of Liberals to power He
proposes to make the candidacy Of Sir
Henry James. Mr.. Gladstone's Attorney gen
erai, for the parliamentary seat belonging
to Bury, suburb of Manchester, the
occasion for undertaking astumping tour. This
will undoubtedly prove to be of the greatest
mtterances will make good and effective party
literature for the Liberals.
Lord Randolph Churchill, who has been spend
ing his vacation in preparing himself for
the work of the coming campaign.
will begin work next week. He
will go to Birmingham and endeavor
in public address to demonstrate to the En-
glish people how utterly unfit both Gladstone
and Bright are for the responsibilities of public
srust Mr. Gladstone still declines to name a
date for the delivery of the speech he has prom
ised to make to his Midlothian constit-
uents Some persons attribute his refusal to his
while others believe that he is simply waiting to
have Premier Salisbury make some general
statement of Tory policy, in order to effectually
answer it.
great many persons have gone to see Mr..
Gladstone since his return to Hawarden, and
ehey all concur in the statement that, so
Ear, at least. ordinary conversation goes,
the great orators voice is perfectly good. Mr..
Herbert Gladstone, however, declares that his
father is under strict medical order to refrain
for the present, from any use of his voice that
might strain it. but adds that Mr.. Gladstone
himself expects to be able. during the campaign,
TO deliver at least three public orations.
Never, perhaps, was any mans voice con-
sidered with much concern by so many
people. The most intimate friends of the ex-
Premier do not hesitate to say that they believe
that though he may succeed in delivering fe'
short speeches this autumn. Mr. Gladstont
career as an orator is practically closed forever.
1t may be that the growing conviction
of this incapacity,. lies behind the new
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. III his address at
Lambeth OH Thursday last, he openly declared
that in the event of the restoration of the Lib
erals to power, he would refuse to take a place
in the Cabinet, unless his colleagues should
agree to his schemes of the public purchase and
allotment of land to aborers, and the abolition of
school fees This renewed outbreak of Radicalism
has already revived feeling of disunion be-
tween the Radicals and Wings of the Liberal
party
x large number of Wings are also daily be-
coming more dissatisfied with Gladstone's mani
festo statement concerning church disestablish
ment He almost ignored the danger of
the agitation on this point, they

the church could take care of itself Probably
none of Mr. Gladstone's utterances has caused
more uneasiness. II is generally interpreted to
mean that he believes the question of disestab-
lishment is a live one and that after a brief
respite, If the Radicals are successful in secur-
ing an ascendency in the Liberal party, the
whole question will be pushed by
them to some solution before an
other dissolution of Parliament AS an
ing on the question of disestablishment it may
be stated that nearly all the Liberal associations
throughout the provinces have instructed their
candidates to avoid, wherever possible,
any public question as an immediate
issue. This is done as precautionary
measure to secure the retention of the votes
of the churchman who would desert the Liberal
party in a body if it Endorsed the Radical view.
Despite the efforts TO avoid discussion of this
dangerous question, however nearly every Lib
eral meeting held affords instances of the speak
ers being compelled, by queries from the audi
ence, to place themselves record The
Newcastle temperance conference resulted in
the formation of distinct temperance party
which will support only those parliamentary
candidates. whether Tory or Liberals who will
pledge themselves in favor of local option.
Most OF the conference orators upbraided the
late Liberal government for its neglect of tenn
perance legislation, and criticised Mr.. Gladstone
for the meagre and Indifferent reference which
his manifesto makes concerning the liquor
traffic. The Rev. Mr.. Garrett president of the
Methodist Temperance Union, has issued a
fervent political appeal to the people of England,
concluding with these words: Let party land
marks go; vote straight for sober country"
The Parnellites constitute, at present, the only
thoroughly united and compact political party in
the country. They believe that their prospects
are bright. The American plan formulated this
week in the Boston Pilot by Mr.. Alexander
Sullivan. to raise fund at the January League
convention in America. sufficient to enable
Mr.. Parnell to pay salaries of $500 per annum
for five years. 20 ninety Home Rule members dis

hold his first convention for the selection Of
Home Rule candidates. He requires sixty new
men in addition to the present members who
are seeking reelection. No man will be &C
cepted as a candidate unless he has performed
active work in the Nationalist cause
and pledged himself to vote with the Home Rule
party on all questions where party unity shall be
