BRIGHT REPLIES TO PARNELL,
John Bright has replied to Mr.. Glad
stone as follows: II am sorry that my
speech irritated you. 1t has been as great
grief to me TO speak as have spoken as
1t can have been TO you to listen or read
Mr.. Bright then argues that Mr.. Glad
stone, asking last November for a ma
lority to enable him to act independent OF
Mr.. Parnell, was, by the country as well
as by the Liberals, understood to mean Il
majority to resist Mr.. Parneli, and not to
make a complete surrender to him, Re-
1erring to Mr., Gladstone's objection to his
quotation OF the phrase describing the
Parnellltes as marching through rapine
10 disruption OF the empire, Mr.. Bright
says be believes that the Irish movement
is now such conspiracy, and that it is
expecting and seeking its further success
through Mr.. Gladstone's measures.
THE LAND PURCHASE BILL.
Concerning the Irish land purchase
bill, Mr.. Bright thinks that both Mr..
GladstOne's friends and enemies through
out the country have a right to know the
PremIer's intention concerning his future
action on the measure, and adds: "Eour
language seems TO me rather q puzzle
than an explanation, and the language Of
your colleagues Is contradictory though
a little clearer"
In conclusion MIR. Bright says: 81 have
urged no man in or out of Parliament to
vote against you. | abstained from speak
ing until | was in the face Of my electors.
| adhere to what | said. | shall be sur
prised If the new Parliament be more
favorable to your Irish measure than the
one you thought necessary to dissolve.
Though | thus differ from you now on
this question, do not imagine | can ever
cease to admire your great qualities or to
value the great services you have rem
dered to the country"
