THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION CAM
PAIGN OPENED.
Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing
u gathering OF Conservatives yesterday,
said tho Tory policy was to peIsistenly
expose the failure of the Liberal party
TO take measures 10 remedy its dlsas'
trous results, to maintain the unity Of
Great Britain and Ireland, and TO de-
velop the uatual resources OF the cOun-
try. He said if 1t had not been Tor the
famine aud the change of government
in 1880, Ireland would now have been Ia
stones domestic policy had placed our
commerce and manufacturing interests
In tho hands of Foreigners. The Tories,
II returned 10 power, would make an
inquiry into the ceusee OF the present
uueXampled depression In trade and by
comprehensive revision OF the MS
cal revenue make arrangements 20 re-
store to the working classes their
commercial and manufacturing pro-
domination. The Tories would alsO pro-

ceGure, especially as regards The hours
of business, and to have recourse
largely TO committees and pass large

tropolis; re-establish the alliance with
Turkey and face any responsibility Tor
the security of India. LORD Randolph
was confident that If the Tories were
placed in power Russia would advance
no further. The Tories were the real
peace aud reform party. The Liberals
were only shams, imposters and hum
bugs.
MIR. cHAMBERLAIN's SPEECH.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, president OF
the Board of Trade, delivered a speech |
at Birmingham yesterday evening and
he said he wished the Liberals to have
more faith in their remedial legislation.
He attributed the pacific state Of Ire
lard not to coercion, but to the reform
of the land laws and the removal OF
deep-seated sgrarian grievances. Coer-
ci0n was only for an emergency and
when that emergency was past 1t was
the duty OF Il wise statesman TO seek for
the cause s OF discomfort and 20 attempt |
to remedy them. The task OF the new
parliament would be to give the widest
to Ireland copsirl enl
wi b the integrity OF the empire. and to |
find q safe mean between separation,
which would be disastrous to Ireland |
and dangerous to England, and excessive |
which would impede |
legislation. Mr.. Chamberlain said he
that the Afghan difficulty |
would soon be finally settled. He at
tacbed the greatest Importance 10 the |
of France. EDgland's object
in remaining in Egypt was To secure The
independence Of the country, 10 secure
10 the Egyptians II settled form OF gov
eminent, and to relieve the peasants
from excessive taxation. England's de-
par,ufe would he the signal for some
other power 10 assume preponder- |
atiuB influence there and she had |
right to expect that some guarantee
would be given that other nations would
DO as self.denyirg as Engia IA.
