THE HoME-RULE CANVASS.

John Bright Protests Against Party Wor-
ship-Mr. Parnell TO Canvass England.
LONDON, June 23-John Bright. in letter to
Mr. Caine, member of Parliament for Barrow
in-Furness, who acted as whip for the Cham
berlainites in their opposition to the home-rule
bill, says he hopes MIR. Caine, who will stand for
reelection, will win. Mr.. Bright denounces the
action of the Liberal caucuses in trying to
transform members of the House of Commons
into simple delegates, and insisting upon their
subordinating their principles to the interests of
party or party leader. 1t is notorious that
scores Of members Of the House voted with the
government who privately condemned the Irish
bills. 1t is unwise for the Liberal electors TO
proffer such men to members who follow con-
science and honor. But we need not despair.
The ninety three Liberals who voted with the
majority have done much to redeem Liberals
from the discredit of accepting measure which
the majority condemned"
At meeting of Midlothian Conservatives to-
day 1t was decided not to contest the district
against Mr. Gladstone
The Times, commenting on Mr.. Gladstone's
Glasgow meeting, says: 1.-THE remarkable alb
sence of men of intellectual, social and profess
lonal distinction which has characterized all of
Mr.. Gladstone's meetings in Scotland appears to
have reached its highest development at Glas-
cow Yesterday. Mr. Gladstones efforts to avoid
serious discussion of his own plans was crowned
with complete success in his Glasgow speech 1t
Drlstles with mlsstatements of facts and perver
sions of argument 1t does not contain single
attempt to grapple with the difficulties of the
Irish question"
His grace, the Most Rev. Thomas W. Croke,
d. D., Archbishop of Cashel has just sent to
the treasurer of the Irish parliamentary fund
the sum of 81, 700, which he says is an install
ment OF the sum his people will contribute to
the cause of home rule. The Archbishop also
subscribed $3.50 of this amount himself, and in
his letter bearing the remittance he says: ut is
time Irish men co-operated with the Irish
friends in America to supply the funds which
the National party needs to successfully carry
on its patriotic work in the pending elections"
In consequence of the religious preiudices
stirred up by Chamberlain and other enemies of
home rule, Mr.. Parnell has resolved upon
striking line of action. On Saturday he will be-
gin tour through England and Scotland, and
will address meetings in eight of the principal
capacity of leader of the Irish people and
Protestant himself, toward removing the Sec
tartan apprehensons as to homo rule that have
been excited by its enemies
1t having been suggested that James Stephens,
the ex head center, was the author Of the Fen:an
manifesto published in the Times. Mr.. John
Clancy, M. p, sent a dispatch to Mr.. Stephens
asking for information on the subject Mr..

AS to the election expenses, the average

My canvassers are given small books with the
names of the voters they are to look
