LIVERPOOL, June 2S-Mr. Gladstone this af-
ternoon addressed the electors of Liverpool in
Hengler's Circus. He was received with bound
less enthusiasm. The circus was crowded to it's
utmost capacity, 5000 persons being present
Hundreds of people, unable to gain admittance
crowded around outside Mr. Gladstone said the
enthusiasm in favor of home rule surpassed any
thing he had witnessed during his life. Despite
the long purses of his opponents he looked for
ward to the result Of the elections with conf
dence 1t was true that he denounced the Nation
aists in 1881, but it was because he thought they
were in the wrong He supported them now be-
cause he thought and knew they were in the
right He now proposed to give statutory par
lament to Ireland, to deal exclusively with Irish
affairs His opponents pretended that such
o grant would be the breaking down Of the
Irish allegiance to the imperial Parliament,
but, said the Premier. the allegiance had been
given grudgingly and half-heartedly heretofore,
and some times it had not been given at all
The Liberals wished to destroy that sort of
allegiance and make Irishmen revere the i'm
periai Parliament. like Scotchmen and English
men, from the heart and mind. He stoutly do
MED that they were refusing Ulster privileges
which they were giving elsewhere. On the
contrary, they were willing to listen to any sug-
gestion on behalf of Ulster They were willing
to make exceptional proposals, if they were
likely to be adopted Again, they were told
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 invest it. If he
thought that land purchase meant more
than investment he would be no party
to the scheme. He denied, however
that the home rule bill and the land
purchase bill were inseparable He reminded
his audience that home rule was a question of
classes against the masses. The Liberal party
he said, was, as q rule not supported by dukes
clergymen of the established church, officers of
thsasmyaana SO forth. Wherever there was a
highly privileged publiclyendowed profession
most every member of that profession was an
anti-liberal. But from the medical profession
which was now open, the Liberals received a
fair support The question was whether the
masses were able to constitutionaly overbear
the classes. He would show this by reference
to Lord Randolph Churchill, whose name he
had not mentioned before during the canvass
and which he did not suppose he would have
occasion to mention again. He had been told
that Lord Randolph Churchill had had a good
deal to say about him. but he Mr.. Gladstonel
had not taken the trouble to inquire. It was
very difficult to describe Churchill, buts il
he could cut out one-half of his
qualities, he might make with the other half, a
valuable and distinguished public servant
Churchill, however, admitted that the classes
might 60 wrong. that the Pail Mall clubs might
60 wrong, but that the people never erred Mr.
Gladstone hoped they would not on this oc-
casion. Parliament, he haid, had been para
lyzed because of the Irish question, and it
would remain paralyzed unless some measure
of justice were passed. Ireland had struggled
to bring her case to the front, and had succeeded
She was now backed not only by her own mem
bers, but by vast number of English people
He believed that the measure proposed would
tend to promote the growth of prosperity in Ire-
land. The Liberals were told that England
would have to hold Ireland by force, but this
she was doing now. He hoped to hold her in
future by love.
Mr. Gladstone concluded amid loud cheers,
in which the act of union was effected
Mr.. Gladstone will remain at Hawarden week,
and will then come to London
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was on the
platform while Gladstone was speaking. The
committee having in charge the arrangements
for today's meeting called on Mr.. Beecber
Sunday, and asked him to attend and make an
address. Mr.. Thomas Shape was the chairman
OF the delegation, and Mr. IT, p. O'Connor of

Beecher said to the committee in response:
Il have come to England mainly for rest and
recreation and with no purpose of taking part in
the political controversy. 1t is not for me to
tell the British people what they should do in
this importank crisis. At the same time, / do
not hesitate to say that am with Mr.. Glad
stone first last and all the time. hear it said
that the Irish are not capable of self government
As to that might say that they govern us in
America. l regard them as having the ele-
ments of as noble people as ever have been
created on the face of this earth. 1t is notori-
ous that the Scotch.Irish the men that are
conspicuous in our commercial relations for
their shrewdness their industry, the acquisition
of wealth and general respectability. For re-
spectability, shrowdness, wealth. production and
cautious conservatism they are almost bywords
with us.
Now of course cannot come to England

adoption for Ireland of the substantial princi-
Piles which underlie our own government with

with all my heart and soul. l am restrained
from it by considerations of delicacy. My heart
goes with Mr. Gladstone and with the general
principles which he advocates. There are many
details, many notifications that lie beyond my
reach. but his direction is right, and it seems to
me that every good and hopeful man should join
to promote the success of the effort which now
is so largely conferred in his hands"
