THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION GAM
PAIGN OPENED.
LORD Randolph Churchill, addressing
gathering ~ Conservatives yesterday,
said the Tory policy was 10 persisteniy
expose the failure of the Liberal parry
TO take measures to romedy its disas.
trous results, to maintain the unity Of
Great Britain and Ireland, and to de.
Velop the natual resources OF the conn-
try. He said if Il had not been for the
famine and the change Of government
IN 1850, Ireland would now have been in
most promising condition. Mr.. Glad
stones domestic policy had placed our
commerce and manufacturing interests
IN the hands of foreigners. The Tories,
II returned TO power, would make an
inquiry into the causes of the present
uhe&led depression in trade and by
comprehensive revision of the tis-
cal revenue make arrangements to re.
store to the working classes their
commercial and manufacturing pre-
domination. The Tories would also pro.
mote parliamentary inquiry into the ex.
penditure and management Of every
government department and irect at
tention to reforms in parliamei cary pro-
cedure, especially as regards he hours
OF business, and to have AoJourse
largely TO committees and pass a large
scheme Of reform for the local govern
ment OF Ireland, England and the mo
tropolis; re-estabish the alliance with
Turkey and face any responsibility fer
tho security of India. Lord Randolph
was confident that if the Tories were
placed in power Russia would advance
no further The Tories we're the real
peace ana reform party. The Liberals
were only shams, lmposters and hum
bugs.
MIR. CHAMBERLAIN's sPEECH,
Mr., Joseph Chamberlain, president of
the Board of Trade, delivered a speech
at Birmingham yesterday evening and
he said he wished the Liberals to have
more faith in their remedial legislation,
ne attributed the pacific state of Ire
land not TO coercion, but TO the reform
OF the land laws and the removal of
deop-seated agrarian grievances. Coer-
Gl0n WAS nnIV for m 4
when that emergency was past Il was
tho duty of wise statesman TO seek for
the causes OF discontent and 10 attempt
TO remedy them. The task OF the new
parliament would be TO give tho widest
government TO Ireland consistent
WIN the integrity OF the empire, and to
hnd safe mean between separation,
which would be disastrous 10 Ireland
and dangerOust to England, and excessive
Capitalization, which would impede
legislation. Mr.. Chamberlain said he
believed that the Afghan difficulty
would soon be finally settled. He at
tached the greatest importance To the
friendship OF France. England's object
IN remaining in Egypt was TO seouret the
OF the country, TO secure
to the Egyptians a settled form of gov
ernment, and to relieve the peasants
from excessive taxation, EnVland,s de.
parture would be the signal for some
other power TO assume preponder-
ating influence there and she had a
nsht TO expect that some guarantee
would be given that other nations would
be as self'denyiEg as England.
