IRISH PROTESTANT HOME RULERS.
League have Issued an election manifesto,
in which IL denies that the Irish Pro-
testants are opposed to Mr.. Gladstone, or
that they believe the adoption OF his
policy for the establishment OF an Irish
Parliament will endanger the lives Of
Protestants in Ireland.
The Duke of Argyle publishes letter
opposing the grant OF a majority in the
next Parliament to MIR. Gladstone. In

Splendid as Mr.. Gladstone's powers long
have been no such confidence ought TO be
placed in any one human being on questions
of such Importance as Is asked of the people
of England in behalf OF the Premier IN the
present electoral controversy. MIR. Glad
stones powers have cOnfessedy been unequal
to the solution OF the Irish problem in his late
scheme, and there Is no reason 30 believe they
would be more adequate in August than they
proved in May.
GLADSTONE AT MANCHESTER.
MANCHESTER, June 25.-Mr. Gladstone
addressed the electors OF Manchester this
afternoon in Free Trade Hall He spoke
for one hour and twenty minutes. For
while during his speech his voice was
somewhat hOarse and difficult tn manage.
This was because on the way from Ha-
warden TO Manchester the Premier met
with a continuous ovation. to which he
RESPONDED by speeches in the open air at
stopped MIR. Gladstone was re-
ceived at Manchester with inde-
scribable enthusiasm, thousands being
assembled at the railway station
to welcome him, and the streets being
literally packed with people all the way
from the depot 10 Free Trade Hall. AS
the carriage bearing the Premier made its
way through this long, dense thrOng the
loud cheers sent up were made continuous,
a M a W N he v
treme. Strong men made themselves
hoarse in shouting welcome. Some that
hOOted we're unable TO attract any atten-
tiOn whatsoever.
AT THE HALL.
When the carriage reached the hall the
building was surrounded on all sides by
an enormous assembly which started a
lusty fresh cheer at the sight Of the
Premier. It was soon evident that about
the only person outside Free Trade Hall
who could possibly get in at this hour was
the orator OF the day. The apparent
miracle of making way for him seemed
10 incomm0de no one aud be passed in
without a wedge. The bnildn0 was
jammed. The people were so closely
packed that at every surge IL looked as
though they must burst the walls. IL is
known that 600 were seated 70 hear the
speech. When Mr.. Gladstone appeared
on the stage the scene beggared descrip-
tion. The whole house rose In one on T.
burst Of enthusiasm.
THREE MINUTES or CHEERING.
The cheering lasted exactly three min
utes. The audiences then quit without
having quite vented their feelings, 80 they
sang "Auid Lang SYne." At It's cOnclu-
sion Mr.. Gladstone arose and stepped for
ward. That provoked a renewal OF the
enthusiasm, whicn then burst up anew i'm
a fresh round OF cheers, that rose aud fell
with thrilling effect for a couple OF min
utes more. When the audience got their
throats all sore with this loud and
violent form OF welcoming the
grand old man they vented a good
deal OF enthusiasm they had lett by sing
ing 10 chorus "Oh, He's jolly Good Fell
low" Then Mr.. Gladstone waved his
hand and silence came. The Premier at
last began bis speech. He began by say
ing that be lamonted that tbs Irish qu es-
ti0n had been so much associated with
doubt in the present controversy.
0RAvITY or THE QUESTION.
He admitted the dificulty OF all fully
embracing quickly the many aspects OF
such aiiarRe question. But on the other
hand, there had Deon much unnecessary
and pretended difficulty Imported into the
controversy, as we'll as much honest DIM
