LONDON, Jun- 1.-THE Tfmss pro
nouuces Gladstone's manifesto argu-
tentatively and historically weak.

"a single argument to prove that

rigorous common sense"
The Conservative provincial papers |

Irish papers do not make their COM
ments on the manifesto a feature Of !
their issues. but criticise as matter OF |
course, according TO their party leanings. |
