ULTIMATE TRIUMPH ASSURED
For the Gladstone Policy--.l Manifesto by
the Liberal Federation.

For tho Gladstone POliey--A Manifesto by
the Liberal Federation.
LONDON, August S.-Ths National Liber-
al federation, the outgrowth Of Mr., Cham.
berlaln's caucus, has Issued q manifesto,
saying; Although the result Of the cleo.
lions has not realized our hopes, the sit
uStion is encouraging, Mr., Gladstone has
secured the support Of q vast majority Of
the Liberals and Liberal organizations. AS
far as the Federation Is concerned
the results OF the appeal to the coun.
try completely justify the course
taksu by its council. Greatly as we
regret our losses, the manner in
which the Liberals responded, to Mr.,
Gladstone's appeal proves that the
Federation represents the real opinion OF
the Liberal party, That party being com.
mltted to aliecting q union between Eng
land and Ireland, will never abandon the
object until the goal has been reached,
No progress Is possible in liberal work un-
till that has been ssttled, nor will the Con-
seryatiyes be able to indulge in congenial
inactivity. II ia the imperative duty OF
tho Liberals to obtain at the earliest pos
slble moment an explicit statement OF the
Tory policy In regard to Ireland. The
Gladstone policy still lives, and It's ultl-
mate triumph Is assured.

is the same Bessley who has figured ex-
tensiysly during the past two months in
the press Of this State as q desperate who

last September killed one Moore, OF Clay

Kanawha county, He was subsequently
tried for the murder and acquitted, Pre-
vlous to this, Bsssley had served term
in the pepiteutisry for another crime.
About two months ago it was reported
that he had cut his wife's throat from ear
to ear, and that he proposed to kill all the
