The HOME RULE CANVASS
THE CAMPAIGN IN ENGLAND BE-
COMING EXCITING.
Speeches by a Number Of the Party
Leaders on Both Sldes-The
London Meeting.

LONDON, June 24.-Sir Michael
Hicks-Beacb, speaking at Bristol last
night, said there was an unmistakab!e
similitude between Mr.. Gadstoue's
proposal for the disestsblishment OF
the Irish Church and his present home
rule proposal. In both cases he has
taken sudden action in order to place
himself in Office. In November last
he asked the country to make him in-
dependent Of the PsInellites, ye, he
took office as the slave OF ParnelL
Never had there been a more dis
graceful surrender
THE HOME RULE MEETING.
Mr.. Sexton, in his speeth at st.
James Hall yesterday, said that the
Irish could secure fftesn seats in the
metropolis, and that that number
would be sufficient to counterfeit the
majority Of thi'ty against Mr.. Glad
stone. The opponents Of Mr.. Glad
stones Irish bill, 10. having the cour-
age to face the principles of home rule,
strove tn hide it in wilderness OF de-
tails. Their criticisms rested upon
the assumption that Great Britain was
peopled with the lame, and that the
inhabitans OF Ireland we're bind that
a nation that had carried her fl .g to
the ends of the earth wss too feeble to
pro EFT herself from an island at her
door, aud tbst the people of Ireland
were rash enough to walk to their own
destruction.
A resolution in favor If home rule
was carried with only one dissentient
voice. A large proportion of the audi
ence were Irlsh. Several PArnellite
members OF Parliament were present.
Baron WolvertoD, Sir Charles Dixie,
Under Foreign Secretary Bryce, Attor-
ney General Russell and Others, sent
letters apologizing for their absence
MR. GosCHEN,
speaking at Edinburgh last evening,
said, that although the Premier had
advised them to reject him (Goschen),
he believed that those who returned
him at the last election would not fail
to do so at the coming election, as he
had broken no pledge and bad re-
tracted no opinion. Replying to a
taunt that he had net cast Liberal
vote in decade, he pointed out that
he had supported the Liberal govern
ment on many occasions. He insisted
that the Irish question was not test
question before the Liberal party.
EARL SPENCER,
in speech at Bristol last night, said
that the land bill was not a mere bribe
or gift to the landlords whose rights,
however, must be considered ike
those of any other class. 1t was OF the
greatest importance that this question
should, il po s'b BILE, be settled at the
same time with the home rule bill.
He believed the land bill could be
passed without cOst or risk to the
British taxpayer. 1t WAS a matter of
Justice that new assembly in Ireland
should try to set right a question which
had been disturbing Ireland for 50
many years. II Parliament were
granted on the lines proposed agriev-
Gus blow would BE- directed against
the dynamiters and Fenians.
SIR LYON PLAYFAIR,
in his manifesto to the electors OF
Leeds, says: "The essence of Liberal
ism is to promote national representa-
tive institutions. Ireland long had
nationality which was suppressed. Ire
lands discomfort is England's weak
ness. ask the voters OF Leeds to elect
me to aid Mr.. Gladstone's great under.
taking to give peace, contentment and
prosperity to Ireland"

litical meetings in Manchester next
Wednesday. Lord Harrington will
speak at Glasgow on Friday. Mr.
Chamberlain will speak in the same

JOHN BRIeHT's POSITION.
The Daily Telegraph ssys: 1t is i'm
possible to suspect Mr.. Bright, tried
friend Of liberty and a champion o.
the oppressed, of native hostility tt
Just Irish claims, and in America
where his name is a household word
his opposition ought to bring convic
ton of the solid foundation up0I
which the cause OF the Union rests.
LORD HARRINGTON,
in answering an elector who asked i
Mr.. Gladstone hal good reasons fol
affirming a belief that Lord Caven
dish, if living, would be supporter o
the governments Irish policy, says
at is impossible for me to cay wha
course my brother would have though
it his duty to take. ] regret that Mr.
Gladstone should have thought i
necessary to express an abso ute con
viction on a point which can only bt
one of conjecture"
