roxnoY. Nov. 21.-The Irish question
g acain uppermost in British politics.
NJ Parnell has been cleverer than Mr..
GLADSTONE, and has got home rule to the
f-ont 10 the apparent disadvantage OF the
liberals. The eX-Premier, when he
fonrd that his Radical allies were leopard
izinr his canvass by the prominence they
ave to the disestablishment question,
node overtures to the Parnellites for
oosjition. The Irish party had been
colrted so eagerly and we'll by the Con-
seryatiyes that the people had generally
concluded that an understanding had
been arranged between them, but such it
now transpires was not fact.
PARNELL's SHARP WORK.
Mr.. ParneIl has secured all the promises
ba desired from the Tories. He used this
iact 10 induce the Liberals to offer him the
eema nledges. lie preferred to trade with
the Liberal leaders to trading with those
oftba Conservative party because the for
rner were in much better control OF their
narry than we're the Tory chieftalns. But
Mr. Gladstone, for reasons best known to
himself declined to make the same
hedges which the Conservatives
fad made, and offered a very eva
siye compromise. Mr.. Parnell tbereupon
decided to seal the alliance with the
Tories. He felt himself master Of the
situation He calculates upon certain
possession OF a secure balance of power
in the next Parliament, and feels sure Of
heinz able t0Neommand enough Radical
votes upon most of the questions relating
10 home rule which may come up, to give
his side OF tue House power to pass all
reasonable measures relating to ireland.
THE MANIFESTO.
II was these considerations which in
duced the National League to-day to issue
its remarkable campaign manifesto. The
decision to issue it was arrived at in
special meeting held by Mr.. Parnell and
his colleagues in Dublin. There were
uresent at this cOnciave all the Irish
Home Rule candidates who could possibly
attend. The call for the meeting stated
that its object was to have
fual conference upOn the plans for the
electoral work, with a special view to
eQUiDping those new candidates who have
not vet bad any parliamentary expert
euce. The meeting was not long in deci-
ding to reject the OveTtures of Liberals,
and to openly ally the home rule party to
the Tory organization. Accordingly the
manifesto, the most remarkable and
straightforward ever issued by the Par
nellites was uttered.
THE RESULT EXPECTED.
It's effect, according to Irish calcula-
ton, viii he to prevent MIR. Gladstone
from returning to power, by making it I'M
possible for The Liberals to gain the req
uisiJe majority Of members OF the next
House Of Commons. The Conservatives
have declared that they VIII not resign
the conduct of the government, unless
the Liberals gain such a large majority
IN the next house as to show an unmistak-
able popular wish for a change of the
Cabinet. While 1t can be hardly
doubted that Mr.. Gladstone will
win in the elections. Most well-informed
English politicians believe that the
present relations between the Home
Rulers and the Tories will render it prac-
tcally impossible for the Liberals TO sue
ceed in obtaining the majority of the
n ,mbers requisite to compel the Con-
seryatlyes to abdicate.
CIRCULATION OF THE MANIFESTO.
The Dublin conference arranged to
thoroughly circulate the Parnell mani
iesio during the next fortnight. even to
'le extent OF distributing it at all the
church doors throughout Ireland. 1t was
also arranged to have the country
thoroughly stumped and furnish
liberal supply of speakers
Wherever meetings could be
organized for them. In addition to this
tne Conference decided 10 transfer the
headquarters Of the executive committee
Of the English branch of the National
league TO Liverpool for the remainder Of
tle campaign. This locality was selected
asmost available tor easy communication
T,lh the league branches throughout
England and Scotland. T. p. OCOnnor,
PRESIDENT u the British league, will, how
ever remain in London, whence he will
Clrect the Irish campaign throughout
Great Britain.
