ISSUES.
At the opening Of the contest the leaders
on both sides seemed a, if they thought
the campaign would be fought on the ques,
ton Of foreign policy. 1t was soon found
that the Conservatives, having nothing
better TO offer on this issue than their pre-
decessoIs in Office, would scou go TO pieces
in political struggle BASED on that ques-
ton aud the campaign was shifted to Irish
matters. On those the Tories got the
better of the Liberals and secured q coali.
ton with home rulers while the Liberals
had chance Of siilistipg with the Par
nellites and they psratively ignored
the Radicals The latter therefore opened
q campaign on their own account and they
made the promise 10 work for disestablish-
ment as the most important pledge When
Mr. Gladstone ana his colleagues we're
aroused by the detection Of the Parnelli,es
to the necessity Of securing closer union
with the Radicals the latter lad raised
the issue Of disestablishment to such
pronounced state that it could not be re-
moved from controversy. Mr.. Gladstone was
compiled therefore in securing alliance
and Liberal candidate as were already in
nomination free to remain stesdfast 10
their pledges. So many OF these csndi.
dates had pledged themselves to disesab-
ishment, that the Conservatives forced
the question to the 'front.' and arrayed
themselves in favor Of the es'sblished
church They derived increase from the
CATHOLIC CLERGY OF GREAT BRITAIN,
headed by Cardinal Newman. The more
prominent priests helped the Conserva.
tives in defending the church, taking the
ground that any religion WAS better than
no religion; that the established church
was one of Eogland's balWarks against i'm
morality. This but served to cement the
union between the Catholic Home Rulers
and the Conservatives and the make
the whole question Of prime importance.
The Conservative leaders were inspired
with renewed activity and they have sue
ceed in so forcing the fight that the people
of Great Britain tonight are thoroughly
aroused and clearly divided on this excit.
ing religious question. Every clergyman
has become for the time q bitterly partisan
politician on one Of the two sides to the
controversy.
RECJGNIzE THEIR MISTAKE.
Conservative liberals are now doing
their utmost to get the question removed
from the canvass. The Liberal sssocia-
tons are everywhere attempting to discard
it from the programme of their party. II
is more than probable, however, that the
recognition Of their mistake has come too
late. The statement is not meant to con-
vey the idea that Tories and Parnellites
combined will beat the Liberals and
radicals in the number Of candidates they
will elect 10 the next parliament. As
matters stand the lii erals will probably
elect the greater number, but the tory
party has declared it's intention 20 remain
in power unless they are defeated by 80
large majority as 10 indicate an
