LONDON, Aug. Although the electoral
campaign is about to open, both political
parties are still in search of a definite pro-
gram for party action. Developments in
the past week have disclosed an immense
rupture in the Conservative party, caused
through discomfort of the old Tories, who
constitute the vast bulk of the party They
believe the present Conservative leaders
have been going too far in their efforts to
proptiate the Pamellites and secure them
as allies. RemOnStrances have been sent
TO the Marquis of Salisbury from nearly all
provincial Tory election agents. These re-
monstrances, added To the protests of the
Conservative members of parliament. have
been made the subject of cabinet discussion.
The result is that Lord Ran
dolph Churchill has submitted to
party discipline. He agreed to take
humber public role, and has engaged to
go before his angry and disappointed party
colleagues in Liverpool and explain to them
and attempt 10 justify his relations with the
Irish Home Rulers. He has consented to
go on an electioneering tour. under the di-
rection of the Marquis of Salisbury. Lord
Randolph was stubborn, however. and did
not surrender Internationally. lie has
secured the consent of his more aged party
managers TO advocate a conservative policy
which will embrace local
GOVERNMENT REFORM
and reform in British land laws. 1t is true,
these terms are very general, but it may be
soberly predicted, having committed his
party TO general advocacy of local self
government and land law reform.
Lord Randolph will in his own
good time, secure the admission OF young
Conservatives to decidedly particular and
radical application of the same principles.
lie will then trade, that is. ne will merge
his followings with that of Pamell and
Chamberlain, snap his fingers at Lord Sal
isbury and the old fogies and go i'm for the
leadership on his own account. Bad of. .pOlit-
ically, as the Tories seem to be, the Liberals
appear 10 be in worse condition. They have,
it seems, small prospects of securing unity
Of conduct among their clansmen in the
coming elections, and smaller prospects
still of agreeing on party cry. Mr.. Brett,
secretary TO the Marquis of Harrington.
Mr.. Gladstone'S minister for war, caused
more or less
POLITICAL EXCITEMENT
the other day by writing public letter de-
plOring the lack of unity among the Liberals
and insisting upon the necessity of the party
Joining in formal declaration OF policy. 1t
is now said that Brett'S action was under
taken with design of drawing Gladstone
out and inducing him to speak. But the
grand old man" refuses TO speak and re-
fuses to formulate policy for his distracted
party. despite the constant representations
OF his colleagues that it is time 10 proclaim
the principles on which he means to appeal to
the new electorate. Mr.. Trevelyan. who was
the Liberal chancellor of the Duchy of Lam
caster, John Morley and large number of
other Radicals of their school have out
lined policy and platform, which they
urge the Liberal party TO adopt 1t de-
mands the disestablishment of the church
in England and Scotland, home rule for
Ireland and reform III the federal land sys-
TEN. Democratic Radicals accent this plat
form, but insist on adding to it the demand
for shorter parliament, for the abolition
OF the house of lords and for the payment
of salaries to members of the house of com
mons. SO that poor m2n can 90 there to
represent the poor OF Great Britain.
