Oh lliei Degine 10 glow. The prospect is
that the occurrences of the coming week
will make electoral affairs quite lively.
Premier Salisbury will, on Tuesday, issue
Tory campaign manifesto. TIT rho ~
., oei 's'i'eS nope' W.. put new life into the
ioiy .-.se. The blast blown by the grand
old man dissipatsd the seeds of disrupting
discord which were fast taking root in the
divisions of the Liberal structure. But the
edtice has been neglected since, and dam
aging growths are again fastening upon it.
Lord Salisbury's followers entertain the
conviction that he can, blow a counter
blast that will shake the Gladstone temple
to the ground. John Bright has deter
mined to re-enter politics as an advocate
Of the restoration of the Liberals to power.
He proposes to make the candidacy of Sir
Henry James, Mr.. Glad. tones Attorney.
General, for the Parliamentary seat be-
longing to Bury, a suburb of Manchester,
the occasion for undertaking a stumping
tour. This will undoubtedly prove to be
one OF the
GREATEST SENSATIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN,
and Mr.. Bright's utterances will make
good and effective party literature for the
Liberals. Lord Randolph Churchill, who
has been spending vacation in preparing
himself for the work Of the coming cam
paign, will begin that work nexs week.
He will go to Birmingham and endeavor,
in public address there, to demonstrate
to the English people how utterly unfit
both Mr.. Glad stone and Mr.. Bright are
for the responsibilities of public trust.
Mr.. Gladstone still declines to name a
date for the delivery OF the speech he has
promised to make to his Midlothian con-
sdtuents. Some persons attribute his re-
fusal to his continued physical inability
to speak in public, while others believe
that he is simply waiting to have Premier
Salisbury make some general statement OF
Tory policy, in order to effectively answer
it. 4 great many persons have gone to
see Mr.. Gladstone since bis re: urn to
Hawdep, and they all concur in the
statement that SO far, at least, as ordinary
conversation goes, the great orators voice
is PERFECTLY good.
Mr.. HERBERT GLADSTONE,
however, declares that his father is under
strict medical orders to refrain for the
| present from any use of his voice that
might strain it; but adds that Mr.. Glad
! stone himself expects to be able during
| he campaign to d silver at least three pub
| lie orations. Never, perhaps, was any
mans voice considered with SO much con.
cern by go many people. The most init.
mate friends of the ex-Premier do not
hesitate to say that they believe that al
| though he may succeed, under favorable
circumstances, in delivering q few short
speeches this autumn, Mr.. Gladstone's
career as an orator is practically closed for
| ever. 1t may be that the growing con
viction of this incapacity lies behind the
new outburst of ire bellion by the ambitious
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. In his address al
Lambeth on Thursday last, he openly de
| clared that in the event of the restoration
| of the Liberals to power he would refuse
| to take place in the Cabinet unless his
colleagues should agree to his schemes q
the public purchase and allotment of lanC
to laborers, and the abolition OF schoo
fees. The
RENEWED OUTBREAK OF RADICALIsM
has already revived feelir of disunion be
tween the Radicals and Wings of the Lib
eral party. A large number of Wings art
also daily becoming more dissatisfied witt
Gladstone's manifesto statement concern
log church disestablishment. He alnos
ignored the danger of the agitation on thi
point, they claim, by merely admittin.
that it was a live issue in which the churcf
could take care of itself. Probably non,
of Mr.. Gladstone's utterancss has caused
mora uneasiness. 1t is generally inter
preted to mean that he believes that tn,
question of disestablishment is live one
and that after brief respite, il the Radi
Gals are successful in securing an ascend
ancy in the Liberal party, the whole ques
ton will be pushed by them to some solu
ton before another dissolution of Parlis
ment. AS an indication of streng b of tn
Radical following on the question of discs
tablishment, it may be stated that near,
all the Liberal associations throughout tn
provinces have instructed their candidate
to avoid, wherever possible, any publ
question as an immediate issue. This
done as precautionary measure to secur
the retention of the
VOTES OF THE CHURCHMEN,
who would desert the Liberal party in
body if it indorssd the Radicsl view. De
spite these efforts to avoid dis .ussion c
! this dangerous question, however, nesrl
every Liberal meeting held affords il
stances of the speakers being compelled
by queries from the audience, TO plsc
themselves on record on the subject. Th
