Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. 10.-Mr. Gladstone's journey
north has been q repetition of all hfs old tri-
umphs. He had pledged himself not to speak
en- route, but enthusiastic crowds gathered at
every station, and he put his head out of the
car window every time the train stopped and
addressed the people. At Ediboro there was
extraordinary excitement, and not an inch OF
room i'm the great station. There were people on
top of the trains and on the lamp-posts. 1t was
feared the barricade would break down and
Gladstone be III danger. There was the same
scene In the street, and at Albert hall the en-
thusiasm was indescribable. Mr.. Gladstone's
voice was strong and clear, and he looked well,
only pale from the fatigue of his long journey.
His first speech, however, it must be confessed,
caused some disappointment all round. There
was nothing whatever new i'm it. Perhaps he
is saving himself for greater occasion later.
The following passages sum up his views re-
garding the liberal Discussions. On the Irish
question he said: 1--WE are all, every man,

The Netcs says nothing about the contents OF
the speech. The Standard SAYS: "The sanguine
people who imagined Gladstone would clear up,
when he came 70 speak, the points he left OBJ
scure, when he penaed his manifesto TO his
constituents, will find nothing In the opening
address to justify their hopes. Ambiguity is
far too serviceabIe to be sacrificed in the cause
OF common sense"
Lord Salisbury's speech at the Mansion house
last night was overshadowed by Gladstone's
but was really excellent. He said no settle

wishes of the subject population could last
People are asking why he does not apply this
reasoning to Ireland. The Times saws: Lord
