LONDON, Oct. 12.-Lord Randolph
Churchill has issued an address to his
constituents. 1t is in the same impulsive
style that characterizes his speeches. lie
says the Liberals are unable 70 justify
their claims upon the electors. by any
record Of foreign or home achievements,
and content themselves with incomplete
and misleading extenuation and acknowl-
edge their failure. They seek to attract
votes by promises Of bribes which bitter
experience has shown they have neither
the capacity nor strength TO fulfil. Here
fers to the adverse vote against the Glad
stone government wrung from she Com
mons on the budget. He continues: "Mr.
Bright viii direct his unriyalled Oratory.
his simple forcible invective, his position
and experience to induce you to reinstate
the Liberals.
LIBERAL DIssENsION.
"The old dissension among the Liberals
which caused the failures OF the past five
years is now blazing fercely. Mr.. Glad
stone, IN all honesty, warns you that bis
controlling hand viii be stretched forth
support party which even the hatred OF
the Tories cannot unite. You cannot
weld to this appeal. The policy OF the
Tories is to regain the friendship Of the
powers, which prejudice, presumption
and poltOOnery have almost forfeited,
and to use that friendship to se-
cure European peace and imperial fed
GRAFTON for the defensive and commercial
purposes OF England and her colonies; to
concliate, by equal laws and Just and
firm administration, the Irish brethren,
now irritated and estranged, so that the
union which nature as we'll as policy ef-
fected may eternally endure; TO place the
security of India beyond the influence OF
panic or anxiety; 10 give the rural farm-
Ing population selEeovernmeut, which
has already benefited the great towns.
TORY PROMISES.
'The Tories will oppose dismember-
ment OF the empire under Ruise of National
Councils, the abolition Of the House Of
Lords, the disestablishmento the church,
the use OF its endowment for purposes OF
secular education, wholesale plumber OF
all who acquired property by inheritance
or Of thrift, under the guise Of ransom and
graduated taxation. All mean social ruin,
and must be confded TO Mr.. Chamberlain.
! II the people restore the Liberals 70 power
/ the Tories viii patiently accept the judg-
ment of the people, hut history viii
mOurn and wonder at the blindness and
insanity Of a people who deliberately
fling away priceless heritage, thereby
consigning to the grave great and glO-
rious empire"
THE LAND ISSUE.
Lord Randolph Churchill said that the
| Tories would strive as far as political
| economy would admit TO multiply the
number of freehOlders and occupiers Eof
T.
utilize the powers OF Parliament In tina
direction Of thrifty spending Of the
peoples money. and to reform parIia-
meutary procedure and regulate the
hours Of meeting of Parliament so as to
remedy night sittings. In a word, the
Tories would govern the empire in the
! limit Of common sense.
The Times says: "Lord Randolph
Churchill's address IS an ingenious ap-
peal, and strikes with unerring instinct
at the weak point Of the Liberal cause,
namely, the past failures and Gissensions
in the party"
