LORD RANDOLPH.s ADDRESS.
He Appeals tO His Constituents I'm IGts
Usual lmpuisiye Manner.

LONDON, October II. - Lord Randolph
Churchill has issued an address 90 his con-
stituents. IL is in the same impulsive style that
characterizes his speeches. He says the liberals
are unable TO justify their claims upon the cleo
tors by any record of foreign or home achieve
ment, and content themselves with an incom-
plete, misleading eNtenuation, and acknowledge
their failure. They seek 10 attract votes by
promises of brides. which a bitter experience
has shown they have neither the capacity nor
vote against the Gladstone government wrung
from the commons on the budget. He continues:
''Mr. Bright will direc his unftvaled oratory,
his simple forcble invective, his personal posi-
ton and experience to induce you 10 reinstate
the liberals The old dissension among tho
liberals which caused the failures OF the past
five years is now blazing fiercely. Mr. Glad
stone, I'm all honesty, warns you that his con-
trolling hand will be stretched forth only little
while. You will be asked 10 support a party
which even hatred of the tories cannot unite.
You cannot yield To this appeal The policy OF
the tories is to regain the friendship the powers
which prejudice. presumption and poltroonery
have almost forfeited, and TO use that friend
ship TO secure European peace; imperial iede-
ration for defensive and commercial purposes
OF England and her colonies; TO conciliate by
equal laws and just and firm administration
the Irish brethren now irritated and estranged,
SO that the union which nature as well as
policy effected may eternaly endure; TO place
the security of the Indian beyond the influence
OF panic or anxiety; TO give the rural farming
population self government, which has already
benefited the great towns. The tories will
oppose the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the empire
under the guse of national council; the aboli-
ton Of the house of lords; the disestablishment
of the church; the use OF its endowments for
purposes of secular education; the wholesale
plumber of all who acquired property by inheri-
tence or thrift under the guise of ransom. and
graduated taxation-all mean social ruin, and
must be confided 10 Mr.. Chamberlain, IL the
people restore the liberals to power. The tories
will patiently accept the judgment of the peo-
pie, but history will mourn and wonder at the
blindness and insanity of people who delibe-
rately fling away priceless heritage. thereby
consigning 10 the grave great and glorius en-
pire.
Lord Randolph Churchill, I'm his address to
the electors of Birmingham, said that the tories
would strive, as far as political economy would
admit to multiply the number OF freeholders
and occupiers of land througout the united
kingdom, TO utilize the powers OF parliament I'm
the direction OF thrifty spending fthe peoples
money, and TO reform parliamentary proceed
ure and regulate the hours of meeting of parlia.
meht, so as to remedy night sittings. In q word
the tories would govern the empire In the light
OF common sense.
The Tunes says: ''Lord Randolph Churchilrs
address is an ingenious appeal and strikes with
unerring instinct at the weak point OF the lib
sions in the party"
