with boundless enthusiasm. The circus was
crowded to its utmost capacity, 5000 per
sons being present. Hundreds OF people,
unable to gain admittauce, crowded around
outside. Mr.. Gladstone said the enthusiasm
in favor of Home Rule surpassed
anything he had witnessed during his life.
Despite the long purses OF hls opponents
he il oked forward to the result of the elec
tions with confidence. II was true that he
denounced the Nationalists in 1891, but il
was because he thought they We're iu the
wrong He supported them now because he
thought and knew they we're in the risht.
He now proposed to give statutory Parlia'
ment 10 Ireland to deal exclusively with
Irish affairs. His opponents pretended that
such grant would be the breaking down of
Irish allegiance to the Imperial Parliament.
but. said the Premier, the allegiance had
been given grudginRly and halt-heartedly
heretofore, and sometimes il had not been
given at all. The Liberals wished to
destroy that sort OF allegiance and
make lrishmen revere the Imperial Parlia-
ment like SCotchmen and Englishmen from
