THE G.. @. M.
Off For ScOtland.-An Enthusiastic
Farewell From London People.

LONDON, June II. - Mr.. Gladstone
started this morning at 1 o'clock on his
Scotch campaign. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Gladstone. He drove to the railway
drawn by pair of horses. 1t is estimated
that 10, 900 persons were in the crowd that
awaited him. The people made the most
frantic efforts to see the premier, and broke
through the barriers which had been pro-
vided to keep them back. A good many
men and boys climbed to the top of the
railway carriages standing in the station.
and from the elevation cheered Mr. Glad
stone as he passed them. Mr.. Gladstone only
reached his coach with the greatest diff
Guilty. A squad OF policemen surrounded
him. and by much elbowing succeeded at
last in getting him through the cheering
masses to the car. The premier wore
tweed suit and an Inverness cape coat. He
bowed and smiled, and waved his hat in
cessantly in response to the greetings of the
crowd. At last he reached his seat in the
special coach assigned for his conveyance.
The window was open, and when the crowd
saw him through the window it set up an
other cheer. which was repeated several
times. The people appeared DESTROYS of
having the premier address them with
some
before going away on his arduous errand,
and he arose and spoke from the coach
window. He thanked the people for the
honor of their extraordinary demonstra-
tion." He adjured them to allow nothing
to hide from them the ''bare question of the
hour" ATTEMPTS have been made" the
venerable orator exclaimed, land will be
made, to divert your attention from the
real question at issue. This question is
solely whether Ireland shall he trusted to
manage her own affairs. Those who deny
Ireland this right admit that Canada and
the other British colonies enjoy such rights.
Are we t. trust our fellow subjects in Ire
land and govern by love, or are we to
adopt the policy Of the governments enc
mics and introduce into Ireland government
by force?" Mr.. Gladstone then bid his
hearers good bye, and the train moved
away. Enthusiastic and prolonged cheer
ing accompanied its departure, and hun
dreds of people. waving handkerchiefs and
hats "God-speeding" the premier, ran
along the platform beside his coach until
the train outsped them.
AT Luton and Bedford crowds at the sta
ton cheered Gladstone as the train sped
by. No stop was made until Leicester was
reached. Here there was an enormous
gathering, which gave the premier an en-
thusiastic greeting. A few groans from the
outside of the crowd were soon discontin-
ued. A committee presented Gladstone
with an address expressing confidence in
him and his Irish scheme. The premier
MADE A BRIEF REPLY.
After thanking the people for the recep-
ton, he said:
Time will not allow me to dwell on the great
question before the country, namely, will you
give Ireland what you give the colonies with
the greatest advantage, power to manage,
not imperial, but Irish affairs? During my
Hfty-four years of public life, L never saw
the enthusiasm everywhere equal that which
has been shown in this great cause. The eyes
Of the world are now upon us in a degree
never equalled before. Not only the whole
British race, but the whole civilized mankind,
have testified the Hveliest interest in the
question. If, as have every reason to be-
lieve, the verdict is favorable to the
people of ireland, there will be nothing
less than thrill of joy throughout the civil
lied world. place before you

commend it to your deep, deliberate con-
liberation, for you never had an issue to de-

places there were huge crowds, composed
not only of the inhabitants of Trent but of
people from Nottingham, llvestone and
