They have repeatedly promised that England
and Ireland shall be treated alike in this matter,
and they are now sharply discriminating in
favor of one and against the other. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill holds the opinion that the con-
stituencies In general and the Tory Democracy
in particular will resent such faithlessness as
this. He is powerful outside the House. as the
Ministers well know, and he has the reputation
of being singularly well Informed respecting
the temper and wishes of the great body OF
new electors upon whose support the Tories
will have to depend in the last resort 1t is
his influence out of Parliament that renders his
speech a remarkable event in English politics,
as is fully explained in our London dispatches
this morning. 1t is not probable that he can
induce the Cabinet to include Ireland in the
present scheme of legislation, but he will be
likely to succeed in drawing from the Minis.

accepted (by some people, as proof Of his IA
