Aud Lang Syne," and "Hesa Jolly Good
Fellow" Mr.. Gladstone upon rising said
he was confident that Glasgow would do
true and solid Liberal work at the coming
elections. He would to-day deal with .
portion Of the great Irish question which
had hitherto been untouched, namely. that
portion which peculiarly affected Scot
land. He would take his
text from the famous DR.. Chalmer
who in 1918 referred to the impossibili,y

the Orsngemen advanced the view that
the majority Of the Irish should be com.

minority. Mr.. Parnell wanted the assistance
of every Irishmsn in the work OF governing
Ireland. The Government Was open 10

satisfaction to that portion OF Ulster In
which Professionalism greatly prevails. but

quite baseless.
THE UNION or ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND
was essentially different from that Of Eng.
land and Ireland. The fundamental differ.
ence was that Scotland was always sbls to

the lapse OF time commended itself 10 the
minds and hearts OF Sco,chmen. whilst the
entire Irish nation Was against union OF
that country with England.
Now, be had said that Scotland had be-
