LoNDoN, Sept, l9.-Mr Gladstone's
manifesto, the most Delphic utterance he
ever made, has proved the most success
full pampbleteerlng Of his life. The
document was secretly issued to his
political colleagues as early as last Mon
day. Its first perceptiblc effect was the
palpable roapproachmeut between Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Harrington
and SIR William Vernon Harcourt, the
three most powerful leaders next to the
ex-premier himself
IL THE LIBERAL PARTY
all are ambitious men, and they had been
pulling apart. Each was taking a large
following along. The Radicals were going
with Chamberlain, the Wings with Har-
tington, and lIarcourt was endoavorlng TO
bold the Moderates together. The Libe-
raj party was being rent to pieces. The
manifesto put stop TO the ripping and
the diverge The triumylrate at once set
TO work to replace the stitches
and with each effort came closer together.
To-day, a week only having elapsed, the
Liberal party in Great Britain Is a
SOLID UNIT.
Mr.. Chamberlain may be said to have
been the most rebellious leader in the
whole Liberal party before Mr.. Glad
stones uttoranceS. MIR. Chambcrlain'S
Radical campaign tour included Glasgow,
where no doubt was entertained that he
would speakhis pronounced independence,
but the orator spoke in Glasgow
after he perused the manifesto and his
speech displayed practical abnndon-
ment of his Independent radicalism and
the adoption of q policy Of opphrtuniSm;
and so IL has been with Lord Harrington
and Sir William Vernon llarcourt They
have also indicated submission TO Mr..
Gladstone and have become opportunists,
There are two explanations OF these
remarkable submissions. No one
I doubts that If these three
leaders had been permitted
mapped out for themselves the Liberal
party would have been dismcmbcred. Ii
was pretty generally thought that Mr..
/ Gladstone was tired OF public life and had
decided to remain out OF it. lie was inl-
! plored to reconsider this determination
and assume the management of the pres
campaign was essential
no THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE
of the Liberal party as party, and abso-
lutte unity was requisite of success. Mr.
! Gladstone demanded submission as the
price Of his leadership. 1t is Of course
possible to suppose that Chamberlain,
Harrington and Ilarcourt consented 10
drop their difference out Of pure desire u
accomplish the success of their party as
a whole, aud to obtain this result
PAY MIR. GIApsrONE's PRICE,
hut no doubt can be expressed that each
of these men has been ambitious 10 sue
coed the grand old man IN party leader
ship. Circumstances have demonstrated
that the party will at present accept no
other leader but him, and without him
restoration to rover Is isnpossib|e. The
supposition that Mr. Gladstone has con
scented to lead his party back TO power
and is determined after its lodgmeni
there
TO RETIRE PERMANENTLY,
would afford the most reasonable explain
alton of the conduct of these sub
missive leaders, fGr in this case they
would be playing for stake worth then
while. In this latter event the leadership
10 attain would be that of united party
adhesive with power, thing immensely
different from factional success. Many
things 10 to show that the latter suppose
ton is the correct explanation OF The
turn affairs have taken. in one OF The
opinion sentences OF his manifesto Mr.
Gladstone uses the following significant
statements sit will not bo possible fol
me TO repeat in the new parliament tn
labors of the previous seasons"
4 This Is everywhere accepted as dis
tinct assertion by Mr.. Gladstone that III
intends, II victorious In this campaign, x
con6ne himself TO the work OF forming
ministry, and after. remaining ln Ollie
long enough to insure the snccessfn
working OF his re-established govern
mental machinery, TO retire permanently
TO PRIVATE LIFE.
II Is everywhere apparent mat IN.
ex.premier's effort has secured marvel
Gus and simultaneous restoration o
unity i'm the Liberal party and given y
Aghting trim. IL is thoroughly reylNlfied
lis electoral agents in the couptry DIS
tricts already report good prospects, "a

also rumored that the powers Of the loea
caucus are being revived and they are rt

dates and organizing the canyasses.
COMMENTS OF TUE OPPOSITION PhRss-
The Tory press critlcises Mr.. Gladstone

what Mr.. Gladstone aimed at. The yei
