EDIsBURG, June lR. Mr.. Gladstone
spoke in Music Hall here tonight. Tickets
OF admission had been iss ned, and the hall.
which is capable OF h..lding 1000 persons,
was filled to it's utmost capacity. The
audience cheered for Gladstone and Lord
Roseherry and groaned for Lord Harting-
ton and Chamberlain and other Unionists
but John Owen, Chairman of Gladstone's
Election Committee who presided, called
for silence. When he began his speech
Gladstone's voice seemed less powerful
than formerly. Referring to the seeding
Liberals, Gladstone said the queation was
whether the country would r~esolve, with Il
strong sense OF justice and symnathy for
IT. land. to compensate for these defec-
tions. Il am strongly convinced said
he, that the people Lave resolved to carry
some prominent leaders OF the Liberal
party. This contest was fought against
US by the officers III OUT own army.
The conservatives were content to leave
the work in the seceder's hands, They call
themselves Unionists and us disintegrat;s.
They wish to preserve the paper union un-
altered. We feel that it should be spe-
cially conserved SO far as it is valuable.
We seek the union OF heart and mind which
we are struggling to restore. It Is deeir-
able to speedily close this controversy. The
position of all parties will be deplorabie,
public business will be interrupted, public
confidence shaken and social order in Ire
land will not be restored unless the people
speak clearly, manially and decisiveliy.
(Cheers.] It is important that the elector
should realize the true issue which is SO
much disputed. 1t is a choice between
opposite policies regarding Ireland be-
tween opposite principles OF action, or &
q choice upon. the details Of a large and
complica ted bill. The question you are
asked to decide is a proposition to sstab- /
lish a legislative body In Ireland to manage |
Irish affairs. 1t is a principle upon which |
you are called to vote and not the details |
and particulars Of even u hill. 1t is now
idle to say that the country will be asked
to vot on the details OF a bill. The bill Is
dead with Parliament. [Cheera.] The
principle of the bill survives. loud
Cheers.] never will be guilty OF the dis
honesty In promising to you without
a new plan to give effect to the
principle. Referring to Harrington, his
former colleague, he said: Lord Harting.

Ireland in the matter of local govern

have come about. The Irish may have
in the wrong direction, but Harting-
