LONDON, August Although the elec-
toral campaign Is about 10 open, both
political parties are still in search Of def
mite programmed OF party action. The
deyelopmsntso Of the past week have dis.
closed an immense rupture in the Con-
seryative spsrty. This has been caused
through the 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 propitiate the Parnellites and
secure them as allies. Remonstrances
have been sent to the Marquis Of Salisbury
from nearly ali the provincial Tory cleo
ton agents. These remonstranees, added
to the protests Of the Conservative mem
bers of Parliament, have been made the
subject OF a Cabinet discussion. The re-
suit Is that Lord Randolph Churchill has
submitted to party discipline. He has
agreed to take an humber public role,
and has engaged to 60 before his angry
and disappointed party colleagues in Lty-
erpool and explain to them and attempt
to Justify his relations with the Irish
Home Rulera. ;.=at5
He also consented to 60 on an cleo.
tioneering tour under the direction Of the
Marquis Of Salisbury. Lord Randolph is
stubborn, however, and has not surren.
dered Internationally. he has secured
the consent OF his more aged party man
ayers to advocate q conservative policy
which will embrace local government re-
form and reform in the British land laws:
It is true that theseterms are very gener-
al, but 1t may be safely predicted that
having committed his party TO Q general
advocacy Of local self-government.. and
land law reform, Lord Randolph will, in
his own good time, secure the adhesion
of the young Conservatives to q de-
cidedly particular and radical appli-
cation Of the same principles. he will
then trade-that Is be will merge his fol-
lowing with that OF MI. ParneIl and Mr..
Chamberlain-snap his fingers at Lord
Salisbury and the void togies," and 60 in
for leadership on his own account.
LIBERAL DlssExsroSs.
Bad of politically as the Tories seem to
be, the Liberals appear to be in worse
cenditioa. They have, It seems, ANAL
prospects Of securing unity Of conduct
among their clansmen In the coming
elections, and smaller prospects still OF
agreeing on party cry. Mr.. Brett, Sec.
retary 81 the Marquis of Harrington, Mr..
Gladstone,s Minister foI War, caused
more or less political excitement the other
day BY writing public letter deploring
the lack party unity among the Liberals,
and insisting upon the necessity Of the
party's joining In formal declaration Of
policy, tits aow said that Atr. Brett's
action was taken with the design Of
drawing Mr.. Gladstone out and inducing
him 10 speak. But the grand old mani
refuses to speak, refuses % epeak, refuses
to formulate q policy Tor his DISTRACTED
party, despite the constant representa-,
tionsot his colleagues that II Is time 70
proclaim the principles on which he
means % appeal to the new electorate.
Mr.. Treyeiyan, who was the Liberal
chancellor ot the Ducby Of Lancaster; Mr..
John Motley, and q large number oil other
Radicals ottheir school, have outlined q
political platform which they urge tie
Liberal party 70 adopt. II dsmsnds tie
diseahhlishment ot the church in Eng;
land and Scotland, Home rule for Ireland,
and reform In the feudAl land System.
The democratic Radicals accept this plat
form, but insist on adding TO 1t Q demand.

ment Of salaries 70 members Of the House
Of Commons; also, that poor men can 70
