the great division. but how many would there
be after the election? Cheers.l Notwith-
standing the seceders, he had no reason to be
ashamed of the present cabinet. The Par
nellites showed great self-denial in displaying
such contidefce in the working of the British
parliament hs to be content to leave all inn
perial interests in the hands OF parliament.
But there was no doubt that England and
Scotland had shown the greatest desire that
ireland should not be severed from imperial
concerns. He would remind them that the
government had
PROMISED TWO THINGS.
The bill itself provided for certain con-
tngency. Besides that the government had
undertaken that the fiscal interests OF Ireland
should not be affected without giving the
Irish members an opportunity of being heard.
1t had also undertaken to propose plan to
reorganize permanently the concern of Ire
land in the transaction of imperial affairs as
distinct from Irish affairs. Regarding the
land purchase bill, Mr.. Gladstone remined his
audience that there was operating in Ireland
at the present moment ut the expense of the
British taxpayers who seem unaware thereof,
system of land purchase whereby millions
Of pounds worth of land might be transferred
under system which he considered danger
Gus and which undoubtedly he would vever
engage not TO make some effect to amend.
!Cheers. He again challenged Mr.. Cham
berlain to produce his marvellous land
scheme, by the side of which the govern
ment scheme dwindeS into insigniicance.
The land purchase bill ought to be consid-
cred as forming so many clauses of the land
bill. 1t WAS not the end of the scheme but
was part OF its machinery. The scheme was
open Tor review and reconstruction.
EVEN IF REJECTED
by the people it would be the duty Of the
government to review and reconstruct the
bill upon the principles they had already laid
down. Cheers. The government remained
immovable upon the principle of giving Ire
land an effective government by Irishmer.
lCheers. AS regarded Lord harrington four
conditions, he would not be a party to the
condition that the Irish representation
in London remain just as it now is. He would
not quarrel over the condition that powers
be delegated, not surrendered. But he OBJ
jected to the third condition, that the Dublin
parliament only have power over certain
Irish affairs. He also objected to the fourth
condition, that England retain the admins
tration of justice. He would certainly not
refuse to the Irish the control of their police,
which right every municipality enjoys.
Cheers. They must, therefore, not accept
Hartington's four conditions. He again
challenged Earl Carnarvon to divulge what
he said to Mr.. Parnell and whether he in
formed Lord Salisbury of the interview. He
(Gladstone) firmly believed that Earl Car
narvon did inform Lord Salisbury. He had
been at some pains to get at the bottom of
the matter, and did not intend to desiSt
Loud cheers. The country had right to
be informed on that subject. In conclusion
heSsaid that
THE IRISH DEMANDS
were reasonable and moderate and that their
opponents had been ungenerous. After the
Irish bills had been fettered with safeguards,
to satisfy the opponents, the latter tainted
the government with mistrusting the legisla-
ture they were calling into existence. 1t was
not mtstrust on the part Of the government,
but mistrust on the part Of the opponents
that caused the safeguards to be introduced.
The examples of other countries in Europe
showed the wisdom Of the governments pol
ICY. He appealed to the men Of Manchester,
who are now in the fore front of progressive
movements, to keep true to their traditions.
Loud cheers. Not even the opponents be-
lieved that they could prevent the granting
of home rule to Ireland. All they could do
was to cause delay until home rule was ex-
torted from them.
Mr.. Gladstone resumed his seat amid
prolonged cheering. Mr.. Gladstone, in a
letter regretting his inability to address the
electors of Chester, says:
1.-THE Tory policy Of thirty years of coercion
for Ireland is more rational and contains more
promise of being effectual than any Of the
intermediate and fanatic schemes which have
come to birth under the exigences Of the
election. The Duke Of Westminster recently
said that it was time for the Liberals to put
their country before their party. That is
what tried to do when I made known to the
Marquis of Salisbury my desire to support
him when he was prime minister If he should
Introduce comprehensive measure of reform
for the government and peace of Ireland in
conformity with, as we now know them, the
views entertained by his own lord lieutenant"
