LONDON, Nov. Sex Premier Glad
stone started from Hawarden to-day for
Edinburgh in good health and spirits. In
| replying to an address at Chester the ex-
Premier said: 81 am going to Midlothian
not to secure my election, but to teach
and preach the necessity for united Lib
eral action" Great enthusiasm was dls-
| played by the large crowd present
CHEERED ALONG THE ROUTE.
| Large crowds assembled at the various
stations on the line of the railway TO well
| come Mr.. Gladstone. AS the special train
| stopped few moments at the different
! points, the ex-Premier had enthusiastic
receptions, at Warrington, Preston and
Carlisle, and in short addresses said he
believed the country was still faithful TO
Liberal principles. At Wigan, a photog-
rapher was present and secured like
of Mr.. Gladstone, as the latter was lean-
ing out Of the carriage window. In a
speech there, the ex-Premier declared
that the assertions Of the Tories that they
assisted In carrying the franchise act
through parliament we're not true, though
they Loyalty assisted In passing the redis-
tribution OF seats bill.
THE CROWDS IMPEDE THE TRAIN
AT Carlisle. Lockerby, and other places
on the route the crowds Of people were so
great as 70 impede the restarting of the
Liberal leaders, train Mr.. Gladstone
arrived at Edinburgh at 4.40 O'Clock this
afternoon. Here he delivered long and
unexpected speech in response to re-
peated calls OF the immense crowd which
had gathered 10 welcome him. The en-
thusIRsm displayed by the people was
unexampled in the political history OF
Great Britain.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
Mr.. Gladstone, in his speech in Edin-
bCrgh said:
The Irish question Is about to assume a new
| position, because 1t is not now question of
| cruel grievances. Thanks to the patience.
Zeal, energy and good sense Of Parliament
! the grievances have one by one been removed.
But know very well that my fellow -coun-
| trymen in Ireland still feel and believe that
one grievance remains concerning the man
agement Of their own country as opposed 70
| imperial concerns. Formerly the electorate
OF ireland was so limited that It was aim -
impossible to recognize its utterances az the
| voice OF the nation. The members were split
into three parties, the Parneltes, Tories and
Liberals.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
Now Ireland's electorate Is as broad. az ex-
| tended. as well qualified to speak OF the wants
/ and wishes of the people as are the electors of
scotland and England. / am confident that
| England VIII never repent giving perfect
equality TO Ireland. We must look step
| further forward and expect the party which
| is probably In a vast majority In Ireland TO
| demand large powers OF self-gOvernmeBt.
/ such will be grave contingency, but let Is
! not nh us with alarm. because as long as we
| llDpFnIlW pnnitgHfV and
| be needless 10 fear the results, assuming
| always that nothing will be demanded that
would ieopardize or compromise the unity OF
| the empire. II such demand be made wa
| will know how 10 deal with It,
NO OTHER BASIS CONTEMPLATED.
IL s unjust for the people Of Ireland to sup
| pose that any other basis s contemplated.
! Whatever demand Ireland may deliberately
and cOnstitutionallY make, unless it infringes
on principles connected with an honorable
maintenance Of the unity OF the empire. wa
are bound at any rate TO treat with careful
attention. Loud cheers.l To stint Ireland
in the powers necessary or desirable for the
/ management Of purely irish matters Is =
! great error. ] lay this matter before you be-
cause it has a close and immediate bearing on
| the circumstances connected with the pres
ent election.
NOT DIFFICULTY QUESTION.
Taking part in Parliament in the handling
| Of this question ia not great difficulty to con-
| template, because IN years past have re-
I peatCuiV ueCiafeN hnhL Hufn discussion WOuiQ
/ be not only allowable. but also beneficial.
/ Once the wishes OF Ireland have been consti-
| tutionally enuneiated. an confident that tho
| Liberal vote In tha next Parliament VIII ex-
/ ceed that Of the Tories and the Parnellites

I Irish demands is now q commanding reason

/ statesmen.
