JOHN BRIGHT HEARD FROM.
John Bright, writing on "Gladstonian
partisanship in municipal elections" says:
1.-The followers of Mr.. Gladstone have
adopted policy that is opposed to genuine
Liberal principles They have swallowed
doctrines which, up TO two years
ago, they condemned and abhorred.
At the invitation of an eminent
statesman they tried to break up Parlia
ment, but only succeeded in breaking up
their own party. The Liberals must bear
tl,a,a lie I, 3 TlaN
good in the country will survive the present
troubles"
The civilians on the government island of
Fort Westmoreland, Queenstown, celebra-
ted the release of William O'Brien by light
ing tar barrels In consequence of this act
the government has ordered all civilians to
leave the island.
UNITY OF THE CABINET.
LONDON, Jan. 24-Henry Matthews,
Home Secretary, addressing the electors OF
Birmingham tonight, said there had never
been more united Cabinet than the pres
ent one The stories of dissension among
the Ministers were false. The next session
would be devoted to business, and the Irish
question would take second place. The
coming local government bill, he said,
would be a broad and liberal measure.
John Dillon, in a speech at Cambridge
to-day, declared that Notwithstanding the
subserviency of the local magistracy to the
tyranny of the castle authorizes, the gov
ernment's policy in Ireland was an abiect
failure. Wherever the league had been
proclaimed, said Mr.. Dillon, it's strength
had trebled. Some of the leagues greatest
:'plan of campaign" victories had been
gained in tho past fortnight. Mr.. Dillon's
only fear was not that the spirit of Irish
nationality would be quenched by coercion,
but that the last chance Of knitting the
hearts of Englishmen and Irishmen in
bonds of love and sympathy would pass
unseized Y
The council Of tho Liberal Federation to-
day condemned the government for the
arrest in London of Mr.. Cox, and decided
to contest the legality of the act The
council also condemned the treatment to
which political prisoners in Ireland are sub
jected, as unworthy a government Of free
people. Mr.. Cox was remanded without
bail for trial.
