In reply to an inquiry made by Tmg TRIBUNE corre-

upon the Conservative Government. such an attack
would be useless In the present disorganzed condinon
OF the Liberal party, certain OF the more active kadca'

what leadership but that of Lord Harrington could
rally the more serious and capable men of the Liberal
partyl No other leadership has developed itself dur

they certainly commanded assent from the Uniomst
Iberals to positions which they took and no one can
pretend that they have advanced by an inch the re-
storaiIon OF harmony within the party.
"Thc exclusive prominence given to Irish aiars
