stinacy of both Mr.. Gladstone and Mr..

the financial credit Of Ireland, exclude
capital and stop commerce, and has agreed

sHREwD TACTICS or THE LIBERALA
The Liberal Parliamentary Committee
having iu charge the Home Rule bill has
adopted the samesactics in regard 10 Mr..
Gladstones manifesto as were used with
such splendid effect in the case Of his ini,iAl
speech on the subject. Hundreds Of thou.
sands Of copies OF the address have been
printed on strong, coarse paper, with large.
loaded type, and have been distributed
largely but judiciously through
out Great Britain. They have
been ported to the chairmen Of
the local Liberal committees and by them
distributed according TO their local knowI.
edge, where they would do the mos, good.
Thus hundreds Of them will be placed Tor
free distribution at each Of the popular inns
and ale houses These formed the basis
OF innumerabe discussions oi homo rule. in
which the men with the pamphlet in their
hands invariably obtained the victory.
Hundreds OF gigs. dog carts. etc. with we'll
posted drivers were engaged to 20 into
all the by-~sys. bunting up the
old d.iashioned Liberals who sci.
dom come from their hunss, but we're
keen students Of political affairs. The re.
suits OF these tactics are now evident
There is no doub; tha, the home rule aues.
ton is passing through one OF the most
severe crisis 1t ever has bad or ever will
have. This crisis has doubtless been fore.
seen by Mr.. Gladstone for it WAS forced
by him, and he seldom works in The dark.
1t has called forth exactly the multitude Of
angry disputsnt in the Tory sie that Mr..
Gladstone expected i. would But their
arguments ars tho old ones, aud are 90
completely battered down by Mr.. disd.
stones address that the veriest rustic can
overcome the widest sophist Of them All,
with the aid OF ths, document.
THE CHAMBERLAIN CROWD oyERrHposs.
The importance Of the action of ,he Ma.
tional Liberal Federation yesterday cannot
be over-esiinated. This 10 the body which
Mr.. Chamberlain, as king OF the caucus,
was supposed 10 carry in his vest pocket.
Never WAS there Wild lIu,ion more aud
denly exploded. The officials OF tho meet
ing were chosen by Mt. Chamberlain, the
cut snd.drisd resolutions were dictated BY
him, and l. was supposed ,hat be was
TO be the dominating spirit Of
The convention. But when the res
olutions were offered the convention re-
volted at once, and only % votes ont Of
600 were given the Chamberlain Irsolu,iop.
There was absolutely no opposition to ths
alternative resolution, no one was brave
enough TO raise n hand for the hitherto all
powerful cbisirsi and in the overwhelming
storm Of applause for Gladstone there was
not even single cheer for Cbam berlaiBA
IL 10 seldom that such scene has been
witnessed in u hi'ish constituent assem-
bly,. Any Liberal member Of Parliament
Who votes against the Home Rule bill will
DO q brave man II, After the di,solntiop,
which may occu. Soon after that event, be
shall dare 70 10 down 10 his constituents
and esd their sufrages for reelection.
