LONDON November 2l.-The question
is again uppermost in British politics. Mr.,
Parnell has been cleverer than Mr.. Glad
stone, and has got home rule to the point
to the apparent disadvantage Of the Lib
erals. Thee Premier when he::tound that
his radical allies we're jeopardized by the
predominance he gave to the disestabEsh-
ment question, made overtures to the
Paruelites for q coSliton. The Irish
party had been courted 30 eagerly and
we'll by the Conservatives that the people
had generally concluded that an under
standing had been arranged between them.
But such, it now appears, was not the fact.
Mr.. Parnell had occurred all the promises
he desired from the Tories He used this
fact to induce the Liberals to offer him the
same pIedges. He preferred to make
with the Liberal leaders TO trading with
those of the conservative party, because
the former were in much better control Of
their party than we're the Tory chiefs; but
Mr.. Gladstone. for reasons best known to
himself, declined to make the same pledges
which the Conservatives had made and
offered a very evasive compromise. Par
nell thereupon decided to seal the alliance
with the Tories. He felt himself master OF
the situation. He calculates upon certain
possessions OF the balance Of power in the
next Parliament and feels sure of being
able to command enough Radical votes upon
most OF the questions relating to home
rule which may come up to give his side
of the House power to pass oil reasonable
means relating to Ireland. Ii was these
considerations which induced the National
League to issue its remarkable campaign
document.
THE CONCLAYE.
There were present at the conclave all
Of the Irish Home leaders who could pos
sibly attend. The call for meeting ststed
that this object was to have final confer
ence on plans for election work with
special view to equippiDg those rev csndi'
dates who have not yet had any psrliuen.
tiary experience.
The meeting was not long in deciding to
reject the overtures of Liberals and to
openly ally the Home Rule party to the
Tory organization. Accordingly, the mani
festo. the most remarkable and straightor.
ward issue BY the Parneliiles, was uttered.
Its effect, according TO Irish calculations
will be to prevent Mr.. Gladstone from re
turning topower by making it impossible
for the Liberals to gain therequisite ma
iority Of members Of the next House OF
Commons The conservatives have de.
clared they will not resign the conduct Of
government unless the Liberals gain such Il
large majority in the next House as
10 show an unmistskable popular wish ios
a change of Cabinet. While it is hardly
doubted that Mr.. Gladstone will win in the
election, we'll informed English politicians
believe the present relations between the
Home Rulers and the Tories will render It
impossible for the Liberals to
succeed in attaining the majority Of mem
bers requisite to compel the Conservatives
to abdicate,
