LONDON, August 6-The Standard, COM
menting on the meeting of Unionists yes
terday, SAYS that Lord Hartington's Ian
guage is all that the Conservatives have n
right TO expect. There is little doubt
it saws, that rs long rs Lord Harrington
continues of the same mind, Home kule
for Ireland is an imposSibility. He still
seems 10 dream of re-uniting the scattered
hostile Liberal sections instead OF looking
TO new division of parties more in har-
mony with the existing state of public
opinion This. TO our mind, is the only
weak point in his conception ofthe present
crisis
The official report OF the Liberal Union
ist meeting over which the Mapuis OF
Harrington presided yesterday confirms the
dispatches already cabled announcing the
acceptance by Mr.. Chamberlain Of Lord
Hartington's leadership and proves that
the UnioniS,s are resolved not Ia allow MIR.
Gladstone To force the Irish question upon
Parliament. Lord Harrington and the
bulk ofhis followers au disposed 10 allow the
Government until February to evolve an
Irish policy. and will meanwhile support
any measure which may seem necessary 10
maintain the laws and preserve order.
