LONDON, Oct. 27.--At the Conservative
conference at Bradford Yesterday, Right
Hon. Henry Chaplin, member OF Parlia-
ment, moving vote of thanks to Lord
Churchill for his speech, aud to the
association, said he believed the time
coming would be the worst the United
Kingdom had ever experienced in agricul-
tural depression.
After speaking at the conference Lord
Churchill addressed Il large meeting. His
remarks were confined mainly to local
matters. He returned to London to-day.
the Standard. commenting on the
speech delivered BY Lord Churchill last
night, says: Lord Randolph Churchiil's
speech falls to come to the level OF the
one made by him at hartford. 1t is too
long, and much of 1t lacks interest"
The Times says: "EXultation over the
nervous pr0stration OF the Gladstonians
Is very well in moderation, but 1t rather
wea6ens some OF Lord Churchilis own

GladstOnlans aresgiving evidence OF their
vitality by their preparations for II coun-
terblast at Leeds. Lord Randolph failed
to avail himself of the chances at his COM
mand for useful departure from the
lines laid down in his former oraJiOn at
Dartiord. 1t is unfair ana unWse TO
assume that the bulk Of the Liberals Will
adopt or abet the tactics OF the Parnell-
ties. Despite the Yagueness Of Lord Ran
dolph's proposal for "a remedy. we do not
think that the application of closure by .

government"
ltis rumored that the political friends
OF LORD darlington are urging him TO
postpone his departure Tor India, rs they
fear the winter session OF Parliament
Will be called when his presence would
be necessary.
CHURCHILL AT BRADFORD.
BRADFORD, Oct. 27.-Lord Randolph
Churchlli WAS presented with 600 ad-
dresses at Bradford in the hall in which
The Conservative conference was held.
Inc hail was crowded when he, accom-
panied by his wife, entered. Both were
greeted with prolonged cheering. Lord

accord with the reforming and progressive
spirit OF the age. Referring to the ad.
dresses he bad received, he said they en-
dodied real aud living political spirit
which could not fail to guide tbs
iuiure Of the country. The vastness Of
the deputatons VINO were present IN the
conference realized Lord Beaconsfelds
prediction for the luture OF the Tory party
and the hold it ought to have on the
masses OF the people. He thanked the
Dublin deputa ton tor attending the con-
ference, and said: ''rhe Irish for a mo-
ment are influenced by agitators. Un-
fortunately men who formerly Occu-
pied high government offices are
now using their regulations to
weaken the crowns authority. For
these reasons, constitutional principles

land" He desired to popularize cOnsti-
tntlonal principles in ireland which
would benefit, the same as England, by Il
just, strong and orderly government. The
fortunes OF the irish people were no longer
to De subject for sport and play, but the
battle ground OF political parties.
AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT.
LONDON, Oct. 2S, D A. M.-The Daily
News SAYS: "Slnce Lord Randolph
Churchill adheres to his hartford pro-
gramme it may be accepted as an nc.
complished thing. Its principles at no
distant period Will be incorporated in the
statute book. While he will evidently
have difficulty TO carry his party with him
on the closure question, he may
count on the assistance OF the
Liberals. The result, therefore, is prac-
tlcally assured. Though he cOnvulsed the
audience with mis- humorous references to
our home rule statement. be was careful
not TO deny il. That is one sign Of grace
N this part of the address, for nobody
knows better than Lord Ran
doiph Churchill that the allie
cation made in our columns
was absolutely true. The dictionary
meaning Of local government Is home
rule. The only system Ireland will ac-
cept is one based upon the lines Of q iad-
stones measure. If Lord Randolph
Churchill chooses to call 1t local govern
ment no serious objection can be raised"
