the Masses.
LIvRRPooL, June 2S-Mr. Gladstone this
afternoon addressed the electors Of Liver
pool in Hengler's circus. He was received
with boundlsss enthusiasm. The circus
was crowded to its utmost capacity, 5000
persons being present. Mr.. Gladstone
said the enthusiasm In favor Of Home
Rule surpasssed anything he had witness
ed during his life. Despite the purpose Of
hia opponents he looked forward to the
result OF the elections with confidence,
1t was true that he denounced the Ma
tlonallsts In 1881, but 1t was because he
thought they were In the wrong. He
supported them now because he thought
and knew they were In the right. He
now proposed to give a statutory parlia-
Inent to Ireland to deal exclusively with
Irish affairs. His opponents pretended
that such grant would be the breaking
down OF Iiish allegiance to the Imperial
Parliament; but, said the Premier, their
allegiance had been given grudgingly and
hali-heartedly heretofore, and sometimes
wished to destroy that sort Of allegiance

Parliament like SCotchmen and English
men from the heart and mind. He stout
ly denied that they were refusing Ulster
privileges which they were giving else
whore. On the contrary they were will
Ing TO make exceptional proposals. II they
were likely to be adopted. Again they
were told that the land purchase project
meant taking British tax.payers' money.
II meant nothing Of the kind. II was one
thing to spend their money, and another
thing to invest 1t. u
GLASSES AGAINST THE MASSES.
He denied, however, that the Home
Rule bill and the land purchase bills we're
lnseparable. He reminded his auditors
that Home Rule was question OF classes
against the masses. The Liberal party
was as q rule not supported by dukes,
sQuires, Clergymen oil the established
church, officers Of the army, and 80 forth.
Wherever there was highly privileged,
publicly endowed profession almost every
member Of that profession was an anti
Liberal. But from the legal and medi;
cal professions, which were now open,
the Liberals received fair, square support.
The question was whether the masses
were able constitutionallyt TO overbear the
classes, because 1t had always been shown
that wherever truth, Justice and humanity
were concerned the masses were in the
right and the classes In the wrong. 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. Lord
Randolph Churchill had had good deal
10 say about him, but which he, Mr..
Gladstone, had not taken the trouble 10
inquire about. M
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL.
1t was very difficult to describe Chur-
chill, but II he could cut out one.half Of
his qualities he might make with the
other half valuable and distinguished
public servant. Churchill, however, ad.
initted that the classes might 60 wrong,
that the Pail Mall clubs mightgo wrong,
but that the people never erred. Mr..
Gladstone hoped they would not err on
this occasion. Parliament, ho said, had
been paralyzed because OF the Irish gueB-
tion, and 1t would remain go unless some
measure Of Justice was passed. Ireland
had Btruggles 10 bring her case 10 the front
and had succeeded. She was now backed
not only by her own members but by q
vast number Of English people. He be-
lleyed that the measures proposed would
tend To promote the growth Of prosperity
In Ireland.
The Liberals were told that the result
would be that England would have to
hold Ireland by force, but this she was
doing now. He hoped to hold her In the
future by love. [Cheerg1
Mr.. Gladstone concluded amid loud
cheers with a vigorous denunoiation Of
the manner In which the act Of union was
effected.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Of New
York, was OH the platform while Mr..
Gladstone was speaking.
