CAMPAIGN TALK.

Gladstone and His Party Embarrassed by .
Scarcity Of Campaign Funds.
To the western Associated Press.
| LONDON. June 12.-Mr. Gladstone has gone to
| spend a holiday at the country seat of George
Granville Levison- Cover nephew of Earl Gran
ville as Dorkins, in Surrey. He will return to
London on Wednesday night.
Mr. T. p. O'Connor says:
| There is danger of the Gladstone vote, in
many constituencies, being frittered away by
contests between rival Gladstone candidates, un-
| less candidates can be selected acceptable to
| overwhelming majorities Of the voters
The men with the longest purses necessarily
hold the key to the situation to a large
extent. The funds at the disposal of the Premier
are still insufficient to meet the election expenses
Of two-thirds OF the men wanting to be selected.
| The question OF nominations is, therefore, left,
| III many cases to private influences. Nothing
| could be more unfortunate From the south Of
| England counties the accounts received by the
| Gladstone managers are bad. Three fourths
OF these districts are as good as lost
| to Gladstone, the union of the Wings
and Tories and the enormus fund at the
command OF the Unionists rendering the defeat
| OF Gladstone men almost certain. There are,
however, occasional boroughs even in the south,
| whore the h ome-rule organization is strong and
| hopeful and gaining every day. Notwithstand
| Ing the discouraging reports from this part of
Great Britain, scarcely seat will be left uncon-
| tested. From the rest of the country the re-
ports of the Liberal agents satisfactory, es-
pecially from the north of England and Wales,
and the Liberals maintain their high hopes of
| yesterday. Mr.. Gladstone was in splendid
spirits to day. Great difficulties, which would
appall any other man, seem to be necessary to
call forth his power. At such times he per-
forms incredible labors, apparently without ar
effort. He is the heart and soul of the electoral
| organization, and is found up to his ears in
letters and kilograms, and giving audiences to
friends and supporters from every part of the
three kingdoms hour after hour, With 1t all
| he is at this moment drafting his manifesto to
| the three kingdoms, so that on Monday il may
be known to the world. He has accepted the in
| vitation mentioned in last nights cable to go to
Scotland and will there address two or three
meetings He has given his word for two and
the third will probably be conceded when he
| gets there. No intimation of what he will say
| in his manifesto has dropped from his
! lips, beyond the fact that ir will be
his calling on the country to safeguard the truest
| interests of the empire by sending him back to
parliament at the head of a majority large
enough to laugh at any combination whatever
that may be entered into to defeat home rule.
Gladstone goes to the battle bareheaded."
Newman Hall writes in favor of local govern
ment for Ireland as well as for the other counF'
tries, but how to apply local government con-
sistently with imperial interests he says he does
and Messrs Bright and Chamberlain on the
other. hesitancy is reasonable on the part of
those less conversant
The Daily News, referring to the complaint
made by Mr.. Chamberlain in his manifesto, says
it comes with i'll grace from a former Cabinet
Minister. The Parliament of 1880 was elected
to deal with series of questions that were never
a subject of contention. Mr. Chamberlain knows
that the Irish difficulty has been the first duty
imposed upon every recent government.
The Times expects that lively controversy
will follow Mr.. Parnells statement with refer
ence to the interview with Earl Carnarvon. "At
position of being compelled to treat it as depend
the two persons concerned"
The Standard, this morning. commenting on
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's manifesto, says: "His
declaration is for open war; Every sentiment
of chivalry and every tenderness for old associa-
tions is ruthlessy set aside. With reference to
the alternative scheme we are bound to add the
caution that he may be decisivey placing in the
hands of disaffected people powers which might
be abused. For the present the main care of the
Unionists Is to Illustrate the Separatists.
1t is stated that Parliament will be dissolved
on the Oath inst, and that the writs for the new
elections will be issued on the 25th.
The Liberal Council Of Rossendale. by an
enormous majority, has passed resolutions of
confidence in Mr.. Gladstone. and opposing the
candidature of the Marquis of Harrington.
There was an immense gathering of members
of the Primrose League to-day at Hatfield, the
seat of Lord Salisbury. Lord John Manners,
the Rt Hon. William Henry Marriott and Lord
Salisbury addressed the assemblage. vote of
confidence in Lord Salisbury was passed, to
which he responded. He said: 1--WE are now
called upon to fight for the integrity of the en-
pire. The issue is not merely to erect a legs-
lature in Dublin, but is something much stronger
1t is handing over the executive Of Ireland to
those who. in sentiment, are favorable to sep
aration of that country from England Con-
tinuing, Lord Salisbury said that the present
government sought to effect the most tremendous
change in the Constitution of the empire that
was in the power of any one to make The
government sought TO transfer supreme power
to those who would prevent the action OF the
ordinary law, and substitute lynch law therefor.
If the executive of Ireland was handed over to q
Dublin Parliament the military government
would likewise soon be under its control. The
executive would be able to raise troops,
as it did hundred years ago. and these troops
would become masters of the island If diff
Guilty should arise between England and foreign
powers, the troops thus raised might side with
the enemy. Only few nights ago, in the House
of Lords, a Minister of the crown said large
proportion or the Irish mated the English. Was
it not madness to expect that hatred to change
in day? The speaker said he believed that
Great Britain, by union of patriots, who, de-
spite the claims of party allegiance had COM
bined to support interests which were superior
to party interests, would return a good answer
to the question before the country The unity
of patriots would preserve the union of the
country
