Loxpoy. June 19.-It has rained manifestoes all
The week. Mr.. Gladstone's was followed by Lord
Hartington's on thursday. and Mr. Goschens ON
Friday. Even the opponents of beth the latter
admit that both were dgnifed and manly IN tone,
embodying strong statements of their own views
on the Irish question. The remarkable thing about
Mr. Goschei's address is its approach to Mr.. Cham
berla,p's ideas on Federation the ultimate SOLD
ton of the Irish difficulties. Federation means
Home Rule as practised in America. MT Oosoheh
aud Mr. Chamberlain are feeling their way >" I"
system under which England Scotland "aies """
Ireland shall all have local legislatures 1or "e-de
fned local pnrposes with an Imperial Parliament IN
which all four countries shall be represented as now
for Imperial purposes. Passages IN LORD Hartine-
TOMS address point less distinctly IN the same
direction He denies that he any one IN his party
advocates Coercion policy, and points out that
Mr. Gladstone's measure is no alternative to Coer-
cou. since It is certain that without Coercion the
Protestants of Ulster would not submit to !he pro-
posed Dublin Legislature The most important. OF
the pther addresses are counter appeals to Hodge
by Mr. Joseph Arch and Mr.. Joseph Leicester Tor
Mr. Gladstone and by Mr. Jesse Ceilings against
him. The Arch-Lecester document is i'll style fus-
tjap. but the contest between them and Mr.. Coll
ings for the control of the agricultural vote will be
interesting, Messrs. Arch and Ceilings having been
hitherto Hodges two chief Oraces
All these blasts and counter blasts are but preim-
mary hourishes. The campaign began in earnest
with Mr. Gladstone's start for Midlothian He
expressed before leaving home the belief which he
reiterated in his speech at Edinburgh that he never
knew the interest OF tie people to be 30 deep and
cepera in any question it is in the present Irish
question. The receptions given to him en- route
nav well have strengthened that belief Never
before has his progress northw ard been more trium
pbal. No doubt careful preparations were made,
but careful preparations would have availed moth
ing had poI ular enthusiasm been absent. Enthusl-
asm there was IN abundance. Mr.. Gladstones nold
on the democracy is apparently closer than ever
since he appealed from classes to the people. The
nopulace of London acclaimed him as he left; the
the populace of Edinburgh welcomed him on his
arrival. The demonstrations were everywhere
magnificent His brief speeches by the way and his
long speech Yesterday at the Music Hall, Edin-
bnrch were all pitched in the same key. He ap
pcals to the country, more on sentiment than on
principle. "Will you govern Ireland by confidence
or 90 ,ern her by force 7" his last question on
quitting London "Will you give Ireland effective
control over her own affairs" was his hrst on
reaching Edinburgh. The Ministerial oIii' lie
asserts is dead and anybody who will support
Home Rule is a good Ministerial candidate He
deliberately withdraws from the consideration OF
the country the plan which he declared to be the
on'y positive Ineligible and consistent plan e1-
cent oercion and practically invites the electors TO
say Are Won for or against Home Rule? His oppon-
eut do not fail to reply that a candidate elected by
Gladstonian votes will the less be expected to
support whatever bill Mr.. Gladstone frames and
that the House rejected his bill because he refused
TO remodel it, Ny conjecture is that Mr. Gladstone
means to remodel the measure should the result oil
the election encourage him to do it. Mr. MAORI
Liberal Whip and knows what the Ministry means
He tells his constituents that Mr. Gladstones
lannon's Never was uttered in the heat of de-
bate. and that both bills will return transformed.
Mr. Chamberlain meantime has been organizing
new Radical Union with headquarters at Birming-
ham vigorously defending his own action III INSIST
ing on the absolute supremacy of one Parliament
with full continuous representation OF all three
Kingdoms lie declines altogether to yield to the
opinions of the American Irish and declares that II
ENGLAND accepts dictation from that quarter 1t is
not concession to Justice but it is abect surrender
to dynamite" Lord Rosebery in speech at
Glasgow full of point and wit, avows himself an
advocate of a Federation like MI Chamberlain s,
but on far larger scale. Lord Salisbury, VINO
opened the campaign for the Tories last night at
Leeds. once more repudiatcs Coercion in the sense
;mnuted TO him. but declares emphaticay against
a separate Legislature for Ireland. His contradlr-
t;on of Mr. Parnell is fiat. "The statement" says
Lord Salisbury that the Cabinet ever entertained
,proposal for an Irish Legislature has absolutely
no foundation in fact. whatever"
Electioneering hostilites are becoming daily
more acute. Birmingham and Edinburgh, where
truce was before proclaimed, will both probably be
contested, and the excitement is increasing daily
throughout the country. Liberals say there are
eighteen constituencies where Cnionists and Con-
servatives are opposing each other, but the number
is likely to diminish.
The boistng of the French flag on the New-Heb-
rides Islands which reused angry feelings here has
been followed by immediate inquiries addressed by
Lord LYONS 70 NJ. de Freycinet and explicit assur
ances by the French Prime Minister that the nag
shall be hauled down. 1t is certain that the Aus
