Electors.
EDINBURGH, June 19.-The scene in
Music Hall on the occasion Of Mr.. Glad
stones speech last night was impressive
and memorable. The hall was packed to
the extreme limit of its capacity. The
audience, when the word was given of
,he Premier's advent, sung in chorus,
See, the Conquering Hero Comes" Mr..
Gladstone came upon the stage accom-
panied by his wife, and when they saw
Mr.. Gladstone the audience to a soul rose
to their feet, and let their lungs fully out
In repeated ringing cheers, accompanying
the applause with wild waving of canes,
hats and handkerchiefs. Mr.. Gladstone
wore a full evening dress with flowers on
his lapel. His eXOrdium was most ear
nest and effective. To-day Mr. Gladstone
spent the greater part of the time driving
about the city. He is everywhere fol-
lowed by crowds of ScOtchmen, cheering
and holiday making in mis- honor. He is
simply receiving an ovation wherever he
appears.
COMMENTS OF THE SCOTSMAN.
The Scotsman, commenting on Mr..
Gladstone's speech, says: "Mr. Glad
stone has rent the Liberal party and is
keeping it asunder. If he would accept
Lord HartlngtOn's four conditions large,
LIBERAL measure of home rule would be
granted. Mr.. Gladstone cannot be trusted
now as unreseryedly as be would have
been six months ago to embody the home
rule principle in a plan that would be
acceptable to the Liberals.
Mr. Gladstone, returning from visit
to-day, alighted a mile outside of Edn-
burgh, his intentiOnI being to walk the
remainder of the distance. He vas re-
cOgnized by people along the road, and
soon had such a crowd at his heels that
be was compelled to take refuge in a
tramcar. He could not escape the crowd,
though, and 1000 men, women, and chill
dren, cheering and yelling, followed him
until be entered his hotel and disap-
peared.
A RALLY ENDS IN RIOT.
LONDON, June ia meeting which
vas held in Islington, north suburb OF
London, last night to support COnserva-
i've candidate for q seat in the House of
Commons ended IN a riot. The furniture
)f the room in which the meeting was
1eld was smashed by a turbulent mob.
Several women were so badly fright
ainted. One lady had an arm
broken and was conveyed to a hospital.
The speakers platform was stOrmed by
crowd. The Duke of Norfolk, VINO is a
Wing, was an occupant Of the platform.
He was roughly seized by the neck,
ammed up against the wall and hustled
off the stage. A number of aristocratic
companions with the Duke were badly
handled. The police were summoned and
succeeded in stODpiDQ the riOJing.
The Telegraph Conservative says:
"Mr. GladstOne's Edinburgh Grafton is
powerful. but it does not face the true
issue. He fails to perceive that his plan
Involves separation, while his opponents
occupy a firm ground on union. Lord
Salisbury has sensibly pointed out that
the first duty of the governmental duty
too long neglected-is to restore order in
Ireland"
STRUCK THE KEYNOTE.
The News (Ministerial) says: "Mr.
Gladstone struck the keynoUe when he
said this election is the peoples election.
The question resolves itself into home
rule versus repression. The people will
not be easily frightened by the bugbears
that Lord Salisbury and his allies are con-
juring."
Tue Standard blames Mr.. Gladstone for
dishonesty in declaring that the home rule
bill is dead ''when a few weeks ago he de-
clared he would never reconstruct it,"
"The so called principle" continues
the Standard, ''migbt mean anything.
Mr.. Gladstone does not give any details
Of his contemplated scheme, because he
is unable TO defend them. He gives in
stead empty platitudes. Lord Salisbury,
on the other hand, offers well defined eX-
tension Of self government, coupled with
continued supremacy of the imperial
Parliament0
TOO CLEVER BY HALF.
The Times SAYS: "If we had TO describe
Mr.. GladstOne's remarkable speech In
single phrase we would say, 1T is too
clever by half He has surpassed him
self IN audaciOus quibblng with plain
issues, in juggling with empty phrases,
In ignoring and pervertlng notorious
facts, and setting at defiance the logic of
common sense. After bargaining in the
last election for majority with which to
resist Parnell, he is now asking for ma
j0ritY with which to effect = surrender
that Parnell dictates. He poses as
model OF consistency, and thanks God he
is not as that publican and sinner, Lord
harrington. There is nothing inner IN the
long annals OF Pharisaism. Against Mr.
GladstOne'R insinuatiOns respecting the
Interview between MIR. Parnell and Earl
Carnaryon we have the explicit denial Of
Lord Salisbury. The latter's advice to
bbe Conservatives. to support UniOnist
candidates in districts where the Conser-
yatiVe party Is not numerically strong
enough 70 elect candidates OF its own, Is
ioun0 and much needed.
BRADLAUGH's MANIFESTO.
Mr.. Bradlaugh has issued a powerful
election manifesto to his constituents OF
Northampton borough. Ia It he says:
british injustice has often been the
mother OF agrarian crimes in Ireland.
Dur paltry, selfish harshness has often
been the nurse and inciter OF rash speech
and conduct OF The Irish. A union main
ianed by heavy garris0ns and police
department which Is an assistant TO the
army, lie an unreal union. There Is no
willing union between prisoner and his
handcuis Union should imply
cooperation, not dominance; equal
my, not subjection. The present
PAPER union is an indonture OF forced
toryitude ana not freely executed part
uefship deed. Ask the voters 10 test,
bend or break this counterfeit selfstyleh
unlonlst coin even though you know ~ 70
