Under the Old Leader.
London, June II Sir William YER
non Harcourt, home secretary in Mr..
Gladstone's cabinet, In addressing a
meeting of liberals last night in st.
James hall, denied that the liberal
government had courted defeat. He
said the tories had at last overthrow
the government by an alliance with
the Parnellites, with whom they had
nothing In common, and were now in
an embarrassed position. He hoped
the tories would not negotiate with
Russia in the spirit of the late speech
es of Lord Randolph Churchill and
the marquis of Salisbury.
Sir William gave assurance however
that the tories should have fair play
and, If they labored for peace, should
have the support of the liberal party.
He also said the tories might squabble
about their leaders but the leaders
themselves wound have no discussion
about theirs. "The liberals said Sir
William, "are mobilizing their forces
for the great campaign. They will
fight IL for the old cause, with the old
leader ON whose honored head will
be placed the crown of final victory
The meeting was crowded to excess
