LONDON, Oct. 1O.-Mr. Gladstone has
openly assumed the direction of the Liberal
campaign. He has already managed to
compass the difficulties between Lord Hart
ington, leader of the Wings, and Mr..
Chamberlain. leader of the Radicals. The
latter was making such headway that Lord
Harrington became alarmed and threatened
to withdraw from active management in the
campaign unless Mr.. Chamberlain were..so
far curbed at least as to be unable to COM
NIT the whole Liberal party to his schemes
of radical reform. The eX-premier sum-
moned the eX-president of the local govern
ment board to Hawarden. The result of
this meeting has been that Mr.. Chamberlain
has agreed to modify the program of reform
during the campaign, at least and the evo-
luton of plan for dealing with the rival
ries of the different candidates.
