GLASGOW, June 22,-Ths arrival Of Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone here to-day was the
signal fora great demonstration. Thou.
sands Of people had awaited at the station
to greet them, and when they aliEhted
from the train and entered their carriage
they were cheersd and cheered again by
the enthusiastic multitude. Hsngler's
circus in which Mr.. Gladstone was an.
nouuced to speak was packed from floor
to ceiling, Mr.. Gilbert Keith, NJ. P, for
Central Glasgow was chairman Of the
meeting. ~.
When the Premier and his wife and
Lady Aberdeen entered the building they
were met with a hurricane Of applause.
The audience sang "Auld Lang syne"
and "He's jolly Good Fellow"
Mr., Gladstone upon rising said he was
confident that Glasgow would do true and
solid Liberal work at the coming cleo

hitherto been untouched, namely that
portion which peculiarly affected Scot.

famous DR.. Chalmer, who In 1878 referred
to the impossibility OF crushing the Irish
people, and added that the almighty
arm OF kindness would be irresistible"

THREE POINTS.
He wished to deal with three points
the security Of Protestants in Ulster, the
arguments deduced from the union OF
Scotland aud England and the question Of
the Home Rule for Scotland. (ijheers.)
He denied that under the Home Rule
bill Ireland would bs an independent
country. There were clauses that forbid
Ireland TO legislate for the establishment
or endowment Of religion. The Parnell.
ties accepted tho clauses and they had
always proved that they were In favor Of
religious freedom. Besides, the royal veto
would remain, thereiOres alarm were
groundless and frivolous.
Lord Harrington complains that he
made no advance on the Ulster proposals
in the original scheme. Well, Lord Hart.

Again Major Sanderson In behalf OF the
0rangemen advanced the view that the
majority Of the Irish should bo compelled
to adopt the will OF the small majority.
Mr.. Parnell wanted the assistance OF every

The Government was open to consider

Protestantism greatly prevails, but the
fears that the Catholics would persecute
the north where the Protestants were
strong enough to protect themselves were
quite blseless.
The union OF England and Scotland was
essentially different from that OF England
and Ireland. The fundamental difference
was that Scotland was always able to hold
her own. Scotland met England on q
footing OF equality, and the union with the
lapse OF time commended itself to the
minds and hearts Of Scotchmen, whilst the
entire Irish nation was against tho union
Of that country with England. Now, said
he, Scotland has become gradually
satisfied with the union; but II

Scotland wished TO manage her local affairs
