GLADSTONE AT GLASGOW
ENTHUSIASM or EDINBURGH
FULLY EQUALLED.


Scotsman Still Bitter.
GLASGOW, June 22.-The arrival Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone here to-day was
the signal for great demonstration.
Thousands of people had waited at the
station to greet them, and when they
alighted from tho train and entered their
carriage they were cheered, cheered and
cheered again by the enthusiastic multi
tude. Hengler's Circus, in which Mr..
Gladstone was announced TO speak, was
packed from floor TO dome. Gilbert Beth,
member of Parliament for Central Glao-
gew, was chairman of the meeting.
When the Premier and his wife and Lady
Aberdeen entered the building they met
with hurricanes OF applause. The audi
dience sang "Auld Lang Syne" ami ICES
jolly Good Fellow" Mr.. Gladstone,
upon rising, said he was couh-
dent that Glasgow would do
true and solid alberal work AT
the coming elections. lie would to-day
deal with portion Of the great irish
question which had hitherto been un-
touched, namely, that portion which Pc
culiarly affected Scotland. He would
take his text from the famous DR.. Chal-
mers, who in 1918 referred to the impossi-
| bility of crushing the Irish people, and
added that "the almighty army OF kind
ness would be Irresistible" ICheers.l
| These words, the speaker said, were
words of high Christian wisdom. He
asked his auditors to approach the ques-
tion inspired with such sentiments.
THREE POINTS TO DEAL WITH.
He wished to deal with three points
security Of the Protestants In Ulster, the
arguments deduced from the union OF
"A a taar.
| of home rule for Scotland. Cheers. lie
denied thst under the home rule bill Ire
land would be an independent country.
| There were clauses that forbade ireland
| to legislate for the establishment
| or endowment OF any religion. The
! Parnellites iOyfully accepted the clauses
and they had always proved that they
| were in favor of religious freedom. Be
sides the royal veto would remain.
| Therefore alarms were groundless and
| frivolous. Lord Harrington complained
| that he made no advance on the Ulster
proposals in the original scheme. Well,
| Lord Harrington made no effort to help 20
| do 80. Mai. Saunders0n In behalf OF the
Orangemen advanced the view that ma
jority of the Irish should be compelled to
adopt the Will Of a small minority.
EVERY IRIsHMAN's AID WANTED.
Mr.. Parnell wanted the assistance OF
| every Irishman 10 the work OF governing
Ireland. The government was open to
consider every reasonable proposal, II
such could be desired, for the purpose OF
giving separate satisfaction to that por-
ton of Ulster in which Professionalism
greatly prevails, but fears that the Catho-
! lies would persecute the north where the
| PrOtestants were strong enough to protect
themselves were quite baseless. The
union of England and Scotland was essen
TALLY different from that of England and
Ireland. A fundamental difference was
that Scotland was always able TO hold her
own. Scotland met England on a footing
Of equality, and the union, with the lapse
Of time, commended itself to the minds
and hearts or Scotchmen, whilst the en-
tire Irish nation was against the union Of
that country with England. Now, he had
said that Scotland had become gradually
satisfied with union; but II great ma
jority OF the people Of Scotland wished TO
manage her local affairs within her own
borders, did they think If they arrived at
clear conclusion To that effect, that II OF
72 Scotch members Of the House OF Com
mons 80 united as one man in demand
for a change, that England dare or would
wish to refuse theml [Cries OF No"l
THE RADICAL PROPOSAL.
He ridiculed the proposals Of the Ma
tional Radical Union to leave undealt
with the question Of Irish local self.gOy-
ernment, subject which was ripe for
| discussion, while the country dealt with
! local government for England and Scot
! land, question which was not ripe for
discussion. Mr.. Gladstone thought that
this proposed oast-irOn uniformity OF In
| stitutions for England, Scotland, Ireland
and Wales was bad, false and vulgar
principle. In dealing with the subject Of
| local government the special wants OF
| different peoples must be considered and
the special history Of these peoples. The
main question was whether Ireland was
TO have a free government or % be over
ridden by England and Scotland. They
knew now what Ireland wished.
NO INNOVATION.
Ireland had not asked for any innoVa-
ton, because she bad Parliament until
! IL was taken away from her in 1900 by a
mixture Of fraud and force. She only

selves" Scotland, the speaker continued,
had always sent refOrmers 90 the re-
| formed Parliament. Would she do 90
again lcries OF "Yesr or would she
