LONDON, Sept. i9.-Glsdstone's mani
festo, the most Delphic utteranoe be
ever made. has proven the most success
ful pamphleteering of bis life. The
document was secretly issued to his
political colleagues as early as last
Monday;it FIRST perceptible effect was a
palpabIe rhapsodiment between Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Harrington
| and Sir VIM. Vernon Harcoart. These
most powerful leaders are next to the
ex Premier himself in the Liberal party.
| All these are ambitious men and they
had been poliinR apart. Each was tax
ing large following along. Ihe Rsdi-
Gals were going with Chamberlain, the
Wings with Harrington. and Harcourt
vas endeavoring to hold the Moderates
together. The Liberal party was being
rent 10 pieces. The manifesto put q
stop to the ripping, and the divergine
triumvirate at once set to work to re-
| place the stitches, and with each effort
came closer together. Today,a week only
having elapsed, the Liberal party, 10
Great Britain at least, is a solid
unit. Chamberlain may be said to
| be the most rebeilious leader
in the whole Liberal party. Before Mr..
Gladstone's utteranee, Chamberlain
X dical campaign tour included Gias-
gov, where no doubt was entertained
that be would repeat his pronounced 10
| dependence, but the orator spoke in
Glsaeow after he had perused the man
| Ifeeto, and bis speech displayed a prac
tical abandonment of bis independent
radicalisn, and adoption of the policy
of oppertunism, and 30 il has been with
Lord Harrington and Sir William Yer
non Harooart. Thsy have also indi-
Gated complete Submission to Glad
stone, and have been oppertunists.
There are two explanations TO these re-
markable submissions. No one doubts
that if these three leaders had followed
the COURSES they had mapped out for
themselves, the Liberal party would
have been dismembered. Ii was pretty
generally thought that Gladstone was
tired of public life, and had decided to
remain out of il. Hs was implored to
reconsider tAis determination, and
assume management OF the present
campaign, for his party's success in this
campaign was essential to the oontip-
ued existence of the Liberal party as
party and absolute unity was the requi-
site of success. Mr.. Gladstone demand
al IN r,i aaton IA tina r,riaa of his laaAar
ship. 1t is, of course, possible to suppose
til at Chamberlain, Harrington and Har-
coart consented 10 drop their differences
out Of pure desire to accomplish the
success Of their party as whole. and to
obtain this result pay Mr.. Glad
stones price, but no doubt can
be entertained that each one of
those three men has been ambitious to
succeed the grand old man" in the
leadership. Circumstances have de- |
monstrated that the party will at pres
emit accept no leader but him, and that |
without him restoration TO power 10 i'm |
possible. The sspposition is that Mr.. |
Gladstone has consented to lead his |
party back to power. and is determined |
after its ledgment there to retire per-
manently. This would afford most |
reasonable explanation Of the conduct |
of the three submissive leaders, for in |
this case they would be playing for q |
stake worth their while. In this latter |
event the leadership 10 attain weuld be |
that of q united party. adhesive With |
power, q thing immensely different from /
fsctional success. Many things 90 to |
shev that the latter suppositien IL the |
correct explanation Of the turn affairs |
have taken. In the opening sentences
Of his manifesto Gladstone uses the
following significant statement Ii
will not be possible for me to appear in
the new Parliament after the first ses-
sion." This Is accepted as distinct |
assertion By Mr.. Gladstone that he in
tends II Victorious to confine himself to
the work Of forming Q ministry, and
after remaining In Office long enough 80
assure the successful working Of his /

Premier's effort has secured marvel
Gus and instantaneous restoration Of
unity In the Liberal party, and has
given 10 fighting trim. IL 10 thoroughly |
