The extreme Radical newspaper Dis
patch, commenting on the address, says
that 1t prefers at present the leadership OF
MIR. Gladstone TO even that Of Mr.. Cham
berlain. ''He may not be as radical as
we wish," says the Dispatch, 'but Radi-
calism loses nothing by biding its time."
The moderate Spectator declares that
the result of the manifesto will be to en-
able the Liberal party ito march forward
like wall.'

INTELLIGENCE OF THE NEW VOTERS.
The British political campaign is devel-
| Oping much curious information. The
Liberal electi0neering agents who have
returned from provincial tours of in-

| laborers in the midland counties. These
| new voters, it is reported, generally appre-
ciate their new political responsibilities,
have clear views respecting the political
! principles at issue between the two great
| parties, particularly those relating to the
! land question, and entertain no bitter
| feelings against the landlords as such.
| 1t is even said that where there is strong
| opposition among the laborers to a cOntin-

view to disseminating party literature
and information, and to keep alive party
| spirit and pride. Everything possible is
| done to make the membership tempting
aud permanent. Ladies are induced to
join the ''habits tions," and perform mis-
sionary work in their interest, and all
that money, social influence, political
| literature, and talk can do to catch or
coerce votes is unsparingly done by the
primrose league.
