THE GRAND OLD MAN.
LONDON, June Gladstone has is
sued the following manifesto to the voters
Of Midlothian; "GENrLrMEN- lin couse.
quenco Of the defeat Of the bill for better
government in ireland, the ministry adj
vised and her majesty WAS pleased to
sanction the dissolution OF parliament
for decision by the nation Of the grsyest
and likewise the simplest issue that
has been submitted to Ii for
half century. Only sense
Of the gravity of this issue induces me,
at the period Of life when nature cries
aloud for repOse, TO seek, after sitting IN
thirteen parliaments, seat In the four

the fifth time the honor of your comb

In my addresses and speeches to i'm
press upon You the fact that 6 great
crisis had arrived In the affairs OF Ireland.
Weak as the late government was for or

government would have received a warm,
extensive support from within the

ent session, and would have

prosecute the now stagnant work Of
ordinary legislation with the multitude 81

course of policy. On the 26th Of last

to the exclusion of every other The
hour, as all telt, was come. The only
point remaining to determine was the
manner in which II was to be dealt with.
In my Judgment the proposal Of coercion
was not justified by the facts,
and was doomed TO certain disgrace
fhl facture. Some method OF governing
Ireland other than coercion ought to be
sought for and to be found. Therefore
viewed without regret the fan Of the late
cabinet, and when summoned by her
majesty TO form new one, undertook It

that the affairs Of Ireland,

itself into the van. The late cabinet
