I'D their carriage. they were cheered

multitude. Hengler's Circus, in which
Gladstone was announced TO speak. was
o.cted from floor to ceiling. Gilbert

Chairman of the meeting. When the

Gladstone. upon arising, said he was
confident that Glasgow would do true
md solid liberal work at the coming
.'sctions. He would to-day deal with
portiOn Of the great Irish question
which had hitherto been untouched,
namely. that portion which peculiarly
aiTected Scotland He would take his
ext from the famous DR.. Chalmers,
Who in 1918 referred TO the imposibIlity
OF crushing the Irish people, and added
hat the almighty aim of kindness
would be Irresistible (cheers.) Those
words, the speaker said, were
words of high Chri tan wis
dom, and he asked his audi
:ors 10 approach the question
Inspired with such sentiments. He
wished TO deal with three points: Sc
curiry of PrOtestants in Ulster; argu
rnents deduced from the union of Scot
and and England. and the question of
home rule Tor Scotland. (Cheers). He
denied that under the home rule bill
Ireland would be an independent coun-
ry. There. were clauses that forbade
Ireland TO legislate for the establish
ment OF endowment of any religion.
The P lrnellites joyfully accepted the
clause. and they had always proved
they we're in favor of religious fres-
dom. Besides, the royal veto would
remain. Therefore, the alarms were
groundless and frivolous Lord Hart
Ington complained that he made no adj
vance on the Ulster proposal IN the
original scheme. Well, Lord Harrington
made no effort to help TO do so. Again,
Mr.. Saunderson, in behalf of the
Orangemen, advanced the view that the
majority Of the Irish should be COM
PEELED % adopt the win Of the small
minority.
Mr.. Parnen wanted the assistance Of
every Irishmen in the work OF govern
ing Ireland. Government was open 70
consider every reasonable proposal, if
such could be devised, for the purpose
OF giving separate satisfaction to that
portion OF Ulster in which Pro-
testantism greatly prevails. butfears that
Catholics would prosecute the north,
where the Prote ,tants were strong
enough 10 protect themselves, were
quite baseiess. The union of England
ana scotland was essentially different
rom that OF England and Ireland. The
fundamental difference was that Scot
ana was always able TO hold her own.
ScOland met England on q footing OF
elGanty ana union, with minds

Hge Lflsh nation was against the union
