LONDON, November ei.-The Irish aues.
ton is again uppermost in British politics.
Mr.. Parnell has been cleverer than Mr..
Gladstone, and has got home rule to the
front, to the apparent disadvantage of the
Liberals. The ex-Premier, when he found
that his Radical allies were jeopardizing
his canvass by the prominence they gave
to the discs ablishment question, made
overtures to the Parnellites for coali-
ton. The Irish party had been courted
SO eagerly and well by the Conservatives
that people had generally concluded that
an understanding had been arranged be-
tween them. But such, it now transpires,
was not the fact. Mr.. farnell had secured
all the promises be desired from the To-
ries. He used this fact to induce the
Liberals TO offer him the same pledges.
He preferred to trade with the Liberal
leaders to trading with those OF the Con-
servative party, because the former were
in much better control of their party
hn ah; ~ h,,t H.
Gladstone, for reasons best known to him
self, declined to make the same pledges
which the Conservatives had made, and
offered very evasiye compromise. Par
nell thereupon decided to seal the al
lance with the Tories. He felt himself
MASTER CT THE SITUATION.
He calculates upon certain possession of a
secure balance of power in the next Par
Lament, and feels sure OF being able to
command enough Radical votes upon most
of the questions relating to home rule
which may come up to give his side of the
House power to pass all reasonable meas
ures relating to Ireland. 1t was these
considerations which induced the National
League to-day to issue its remarkable cam
paigu manifesto. The decision to issue it
was arrived at in a specisl meeting held by
Mr.. Parnell and his colleagues in Dubiin.
There were present at this conelava sIl the
Irish Home Rule candidates who could
