writes 10 his Daily N1pG There Is
not single VII &, Liberal OF Radical
who has announced his intention 20
vote aeainst Mr.. GladstoDe's bill
whose action has been iudo sed by n
portion Of his constituents who sent
him 10 Parliament. Not one even
pretends TO be aCting in harmony
with his eli c,ors. ID cannot possibly
be said that the Liberals as patty
are opposed to the bill, or axe dis
united, becaufe cerain number OF
Commoners decline to act as repre-
sentatives Of their electors, and ap-
peal to the Conservatives 10 support
them in the &C ming election. Under
the circumstances approvers Of the
principle OF the bill shodld Iealizs
that they are justified in asking con-
cessions, which, II made, would not
be made to a section OF the Liberals,
but to gentlemen in aniag1nism with
their party, Mr.. Gladstone and their
electors" Mr.. Labouchere estimates
that forty Liberal seCeders are in favor
Of the principle of the bill, but, from

frankly and fairly half way in an en-
deavor 10 remove objections. He
urges them TO act for themselves. in
stead of submitting to those who de-
sire TO overthrow Mr.. Gladstone. He
believes that method can be easily
found to enable them To vote for the
second reading without sacrificing
their convictions,
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL,
in a letter TO Mr.. Gladstone, says:
81 regret that / was absent from
the Houfe Of Commons on the occ4.
sion Of your speech on the 3lst in.
slant. From reports l observe that
you completely misapprehe nded the
meaning OF certain remarks Of mine
on recent occasionsin regard TO Ulster
loyalists and squently pronounced
an impressive condemnation of my
opinions referred to. You will not |
consider me wanting in Fespect when
l assert that you completely mis-.
stated my doctrine. &g opinion that |
an inevitable RESULT gf establishing a
Parliament in Dublin such as your
government proposes'will be civil war
harmonizes with the opinions ex-
pressed by an overwhelming majority
OF the public men of England COM
petent 10 give Judgment and almost
every person in Ireland of experience,
position and responsibility. More
over, IL Is the elRsnimous and immoy-
able convictioDuf the whole Protestant |
community OF Ulster. My close ex-
animation Of the position led me to
the conclusion that the Ulster Loyal
lists are justified in contending
that such a Parliament at Dublin
would be composed mainly OF National
Lacquer RS, who, in the guise OF Parlia-
ment, would bJ more tyrannical than
in the past, nor DO hesitate TO say that
should their ieals be realized the 10y
alists would be justified in res sting by
iofce OF arms sd6s q mQnstrous yoke,
II the protection of the Imperial Par
lament should be withheld the 10y
alistS would be in duty bound COM
PEELED to protect themselves. | also
contend that Parliament had no moral
right to divest itself OF its irresponsible
ties toward Ulster Loyalists, nor trans
fer the allegiance thus Of Loyaisis to
whom must be 10 them not only for
eign but hostile body, without the
full and free consent Of the Loyalists
themselves. Such has been my doc.
trine, elevated into constitutional law
by the action Of the Wings against the
arbitrary government OF James II.
Nor can it be doubted that the action
of the Leaguers through the Parlia-
ment would be far more awful than
James's would have been upon Eng.
land. never urged r5s's anoe other
than a rigidly constitutional one, and
If ! had any influences would exert it.
ANY sacrifice to prevent the line from
being ovefstepped. | declare that in
that struggle they, in my opinion,
would be in the right and would clear
ly be entitled TO the sympathy aud
support OF ths British people. This is
what would have tried to say in the
House of Commons. | feel confident
that you will admit tina. your descrip-
ton of my doctrine was entirely mac
euia,e and erroneous, and that nothing
in the above is inconsistent with an
ex-miuister OF the Crown aud Piivy
Councillor" Mr.. Gladstone has re-
piled to Lord Randolph Churchill as
follows: 81 greatly regret il | have
misreprefentsd your statements. MY
words rested ma My on your speech in
Ulster aud the closing paragraph of
your letter to Mr.. Young of the 9TH
inst, To the latter | am constrained
to apply exactly the same words l ex-
pressed in Parliament"
