There are all sorts of difficulties In tho way OF
getting Liberals to vote for Couserv atves and Con-
ssryatlyes for Liberals The average voter In the

be lower than the average there is no perhaps In
the matter. Sometimes he has to be asked 10 turn

the second reading Of his Homo Rule bill. Instant
" Mr. Gladstone t-legraphed back: The false
hood you report il the worst and blacklist yet made

Pearce therennon telegr.s.had Mr.. Gladstone
that be had said nothing of the sort. and asked
him A. an honors BILE man to withdraw the charge

When Mr.. Gladstone said that the statement OF MIR.
