GLADSTONE AT MANCHESTER.
Tremendous Ovation Given the Crane
Old Man.

The reception given Mr. Gladstone at Man
chester yesterday was the most enthusiastic he
has thus far encountered on his present tour.
Free Trade hall. where he spoke. was dread
fully crowded, fully 1000 people being present.
Thousands assembled to welcome him at the
station, and his route to the hall was packed
with people. When he rose to speak the audi
ence cheered itself hoarse, and sung "Auld
Lang Syne" and "He's . Jolly Good Fellow"
He spoke for one hour and twenty minutes.
Abiding 70 the losses the government had sus-
none none gave him cutter pain than the loss of
John Bright. Although Mr.. Bright's conscience
mad led him to place himself in opposition to
he had shown no eagerness to be first in the
ranks OF the dissentients. OF course, the gov
let Mr sreSpp aans you'd not
BILE man. Hence people had seen Mr.
Bright giving Mr.. Caine q testimonial
ably misrepresented this testimonial, Just as b
had the liberal party which elected him but
recently TO the house OF commons: This testi.
monial made it appear that Mr.. Gladstone had
once condemned the principle of home rule.
Mr.. Bright knew that Mr. Gladstone had never
ever fha the psinsiple Of home rule How,
John Bright from Mr.. Gladstone. Continuing
the premier said the Parnellites showed great
seli-denial in displaying such confidence in the
working OF the British parliament as to be con-
tent TO leave all the imperial interests in the
nanoS OF parliament. But there was no doubt
That England and Scotland had shown the
strongest desire that Ireland should not be
severed from imperial concerns.
de again challenged Mr.. Chamberlain to pro-
duce his marvellous land scheme. by the side of
which the government scheme dwindles into
insignifcance. There could be no doubt that
the country and also the landlords received
with disfavor the government purchase
scheme. The purchase bill ought to be con-
sidered as forming SO many clauses of the land
bill. 1t was not the end of the scheme, but was
part OF It's machinery. The scheme was open
ior review and reconstruction. Even if rejected
by the people, it would be the duty OF the gov
eminent TO review and reconstruct the bill
upon the principles they had already laid
down: The government remained imhovable
upon ti the principle Of giving Ireland an effec,
1--WE government by Irishmen. AS regarded
Lord Hartington's four conditions, he would
not be party to the condition that the Irish
representation in London remain just AS it now
is. He would not quarrel over the condition
mat powers be delegated nor surrendered. But
ne objected to the third condition, that the
tain Irish affairs. He also objected to the
fourth condition, that England retain the adj
ministration of justice: He would certainly
not refuse TO the Irish the control OF their
police, which right every municipality enjoys.
1ney must, therefore, not accept Hartingt0n's
-FOUR conditions.
He again challenged Earl Carnarvon to di.
vuige what he said to Mr.. Parnell, and whether
ne informed Lord Salisbury of the interview,
ne nrmly believed that Earl Carnarvon did In
form Lord Salisbury. He had sbeen at some
pains TO get at the bottom of the matter aud
old not intend to desist The country had a
right TO be informed on that subject. In con-
cluslon, he said that the Irish demands were
reasonable and moderate, and that their oppo-
nentS had been ungenerous.
On us way from Hawarden to Manchester
MT. GLADSTONE spoke few words to q large
crowd gathered at Warrington. He said:
Throughout the entire discussion I have i'm
bibed a strong conviction, judging from the
entQuSlasm manifested in London and else
Where, that the people favor the government in
tnelr irish policy. There ure arrayed against US
sLrong powers-the powers OF the great classes
OUT II the people are with US, and If they hold
shoulder to shoulder like one man in this BUSH
ness, II Will not matter who else may be against
US, Ior the people can carry the government
through. Once before spoke at Warrington,
it was In favor OF Mr.. Peter Rylands then a
loeral candidate. l am sorry that my old
friend Peter has gone to the bad" Rylands is
now opposing the government.
IN THE QUEENS SPEECH
proroguing parliament yesterday, the reason
given for the dissolution is ''in order to ascer.
tain the sense Of my people on the important
proposal to establish legislative body in Ire
land Tor the management OF Irish as 'distin-
yulshed from imperial affairs. With this Oh
Ject II Is my Intention to Immediately dissolve
paflamenG Beyond this there is nothing of
Importance In the speech, which closes as fol-
lows: FINALLY, II is my earnest prayer that the
as 70 promote peace, happiness and content
mem ~ zen Vi my people, and the strength and union
OF the Empire
THE IR ISL PROTESTANT HOME RULE LEAGUE

MES that the Irish PrOtestants are opposed to
Mr.. Gladstone, or that they believe the adop-
ton OF his policy for the establishment of an
Irish parliament will endanger the lives of
