Premier Gladstone Addresses n Great
Multitude in Liverpool.
Mr. Gladstone the other afternoon ad-
dressed the Electors Of Liverpool in Henglers
Circus. He was received with boundless en-
thusiasm. The circus was crowded to its ut
most capacity, 5000 persons being present.
Hundreds of people, unable to gain admit
ance, crowded around outside. The Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher was on the platform
while Mr.. Gladstone was speaking.
Mr. Gladstone said the enthusiasm in favor
of Home Rule surpassed anything he had
witnessed during his life. Despite the long
purses of his opponents he looked forward to
the result of the elections with confidence.
1t was true that he denounced the National
lists in 1881, but it was because he thought
they were in the wrong, Hesupported them
they were in the right. He now
proposed to give a statutory Par
lament to Ireland to deal exclusively
with Irish affairs. His opponents pretended
that such q grant would be the breaking
down of Irish allegiance to the Imperial Par
| lament. But, said the Premier, their allegi-
auce had been given grudgingly and half
heartedly heretofore, and sometimes it hae,
not been given at all. The Liberals wished
to destroy that scit of allegiance and make
Irishmen revere the Imperial Parliament,
like Scotchmen and Eaglishmen, from the
heart and mind.

that the land purchase project meant
taking British Taxpayers money. 1t meant
nothing of the kind. 1t was one thing to
spend their money, and another thing to in

that the Home Rule bill and the land pur
