Gladstone at Edenburgh.
EDINBURGH, June 21.-Mr. Gladstone
addressed another large and enthusiastic
meeting here to-day.
In the course of his speech he said it was
lrksome to always be compelled to refer to
ireland, but that this was due to the Tories
who blocked the way so that the government
could not get rid Of the question and proceed
to the business of the empire He relied,
he added, upon the peoples energy to clear
the line now and allow the train Of progress
to go on to its destination. He did not think
england and Scotland received it SO favorably
as they received the home-rule bill. The cab
met were now tree to reapproach the whole
subject. Ii they continued in Office the cab
met would carry out the home-rule program
with due regard to their obligations.
They desired to secure local self government
Tor ireland with perfect security to the i'm
perial union. He had never, he declared,
concealed his ideas from the country when a
great crisis had come. People had had the
audacity to say that he had endeavored to
force this question forward. Last autumn, he
said. he foresaw an Irish demand which
would sweep into the shade all other legisla-
ton. He foreshadowed but did not foresee
that the demand would be so wise and moder-
ate. Mr.. Gladstone further said that he
hoped they would not let slip a
golden opportunity, which does not
OFTEN occur, especially in the case
OF Ireland. The rejection of the home
rule bill would not settle the question and
bring peace, but there would be the same
miserable round Of contention. He asked
them to
LISTEN TO PRAYER
reduced in the limits of reason and safety
He denied having cheered Mr.. Sexton when
the latter followed Mr.. Chamberlain in the
debate on the home. rule bill, and tainted
MIN with being ambitious to be mayor of Bir-
mlngham. The premier reiterated his de-
mand upon the Marquis of Salisbury and the
Earl of Carnarvan to answer the questions he
asked OF them last Friday night, and said he
thought that Mr.. GoSchen, formerly q
Liberal minister, would now make a
good Tory candidate. Continuing Mr..
Gladstone said that he did not complain
OF the secession of Lord Harrington and Mr..
Bright. They were small fraction of the
Liberal party. They had abandoned it's ira
dftlons, which were honorable regarding Ire
land. AS Fox'S speeches on the actions of
Fitz William and Cavendish showed their de-
scendants were trying to resist that policy
which, if it had been carried out, would have
bill was applicable at the time when he intro
duced it in the house Of commons, but he had
failed to receive the support Of Lord Hart
1ngtOn and others.
Mr.. Gladstone has written another
LETTER TO MR.. GAME,
which he concludes as follows.
AS to the intentions Of the government,
refer you to the speeches which / am about
to make. Perhaps you will ascertain whether
it is Mr.. Chamberlain's intention to prosecute
Or to abandon his plan of last February for
the purchase of Irish land.
This letter has caused much comment.
and it is expected that important revelations
will soon be made.
Reduced within the limits of reason and
safety we ask you to achieve victory for the
best and highest interest of mankind. Loud
and prolonged cheers, in the midst of which
MIR. Gladstone resumed his seat, having
spoken one and one-half hours.
A resolution was unanimously adopted,
declaring that 1.-The electors of Midlothian
have confidence in Mr.. Gladstone, cordially
approve the Irish policy of the government
and welcome with enthusiasm Mr.. Glad
stones return to Scotland at the present
crisis" After the meeting Mr.. Gladstone
drove away with his wife and the countess
OF Aberdeen to the exhibition, followed
by cheering crowds. Later in the evening
a series of resolutions adopted at mass
meeting in favor of home rule were pre-
sented to Mr.. Gladstone, who, in speech
expressing his thanks. said he hoped to see
speedily an honorable termination of the
enterprise. A slow termination would be
painful and probably a shameful one. On
the action of the nation depended the ques-
ton whether the termination should be an
honorable one or should leave behind rank
lings, which would tend for long time to
qualify any good done.
