night Mr.. Chamberlain said that the defeat
of the homerule bill was certain. for he
knew that his followers were reliable, and
he would be most surprised if the Moulten
letter affects them. He had never reckoned
Mr.. PeaSe as a follower. There were
twenty or thirty others who were doubtful
and who were not included in his list He
expected majority of thirty against the
bill. He was so convinced that parliament
would be dissolved at the end OF the month
that he was preparing actively for an cleo
ton contest.
GLADsToNE'S SABBATH.
LONDON. June 7.-Mr. Gladstone spent
Sunday with the Earl of Aberdeen, the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. who has come
to London for few days. Mr.. O'Connor
has sent letter to the Daily News, inclos-
ing copy of an account rendered to Mr..
Bridgeman, Conservative member of par
lament, for Bolton, by the proprietors of
the Bolton Chronicle. for printing during the
election. The account includes an item for
2, 600 copies of Mr. ParnelFs manifesto and
a second order for 200. The account is ac-
companied by Mr.. Bridgeman's statutory
vericatiOn. Mr.. O'Conner adds that Mr..
Bridgeman's recent statement in the house
of commons that he knew nothing about this
matter is astonishing. Mr.. O'COnner con-
tinues:
The Tories made offers of money for vari-
GUS purposes i'll almost every constituency
where there was an Irish vote. In most cases
the money was refused. The Irish leaders
were told plainly shat the most prominent
and influential Tory chiefs were seriously
considering Il scheme of home rule.
Conservative candidate during the election
showed one of the Irish leaders a draft OF an
Green. The leader stated that he personally
favored home rule, but thought it i'm
prudent to state so plainly, there
fore circumocutory phrases were
substituted If the Irish leaders refrain
from giving proofs in support of these state
lackeys of Lord Randolph Churchill fail to
break the seal of private conferences and
communications.
EARLIER REPORTS.
LONDON, June 6.-Politicians have been
active throughout the day. The result Of
to-day's meetings at the political rendez-
vous shows that there is little hope that
the home-rule bill will pass, although the
miniterialists claim that Mr.. Gladstone's
reply to Commissioner Multen's letter has
received more waverers. On the other
hand, Mr. Labouchee, who has been con-
Quoting the negotiations with the malcon-
tents has thrown up the sponge. He says
he could bring over sufficient waivers to
carry the bill if Mr.. Gladstone would give
way very little, but the prime minister
refuses to yield au inch. Eight Liberals
still hesitate. If they vote with the oppo-
sition the bill will be lost. 1t is even regarded
as possible that the division may result
in tie, in which event Speaker Peel will
give the deciding vote. All attempts to

II. Grenfell. member of the house of COM
mons for Salisbury, has resigned as private
secretary Of Lord HarcOurt, chancellor of
the exchequer. in order to oppose the home
rule bill in accordance with the views of his
constituents. Mr. Game writes that the
letter of Mr.. Labouchere to the News, of
the Sd inst, concerning the Chamberlain
meeting was tissue of misrepresentation.
The attendants at the meeting, he says,
were entirely independent. He would be
the last man to be. coerced or tricked into
voting against his conscience.
Mr.. Labouchere, he continues, has eX-
tenSive bets on the result of the division.
Gentlemen with such society motives should
be the last to impute sinister motives to MEM
bers whose stakes against the bill are their
own political extinction.
The Hudders field Conservative associa-
ton has unanimously decided not to oppose
the reelection of Mr. Leatham, reformer,

LABOUCHEkE's TACTICS.
Mr.. Labouchere wrote to Nh. Chamber
lain:
On behalf of many of your staunch sup
porters and admirers. appeal to you whether
Mr.. Gladstones reply to Mr.. MOuiton will not
enable you, if not to support the home rule
bill, at least to abstain from voting.
Mr.. Chamberlain has replied:
appreciate the spirit of your letter aud
especially your recognition of my concllia-
tory attitude and desire to prevent Liberal
disruption. He remarks that Mr.. Labou-
chere does not give the names of the men,
bers for whom he acts as. proxy, admits that
Mr. Gladstone has given ample pledges that
he will not hold supporters of the present bill
committed to support the autumn bill, but
says that Mr.. Gladstone has given no notif-
cation that the autumn bill will materially
differ from the present bill.
Mr.. Gladstone has distinctly stat I'd that he
will not depart from the main outlines. To
lhese outlines myself and my friends are OPP
posed. 1t appears to me that we SHOULD stu-
tify ourselvef if we should abstain at the last
moment from giving any effect to our con-
SclOuS convictions. | share your apprehen-
sion regarding the result OF an election, but
the result must rest in common fairness upon
those who force a division on the bill, which,
in the words of Mr.. Bright, has not twenty
Liberal supporters.
Karl Blind writes:
The time was when Englishmen sturdily
adhered TO principles instead of changing
with every wind Friends of the country are
anxiously waiting to know if the character
of public men has deteroated. For the sake
of the misguided section of Irish people let
waverers reflect upon the fatal results their
weakness NAV produce. Upon them lies a
fearful responsibility. If they only muster
courage to oppose the bill they will prevent
dissolution which they fear will enable the
Liberals to continue in power under recon-
structed Administrations
