H. GLADSTONE AND The PLAN OF
CAMPAIGN.

The following correspondence has been
sent to us for publication by Mr., Arnold
White =
Devonshire Club. S. w, Feb. IS, 1888.
Sir,-At the last general election [ was
Liberal candidate for a London cOnStitu-
ency. One of the election meetings was
honoured by the presence of Mrs.
Gladstone, who delivered to the people of
this country a message from yourself.
That message, in the handwriting of Mrs.
Gladstone. is now before me. "He bids
YOU" it runs, " the people of this country,
TO bethink themselves well on the position
upon which they stand, to look back upon
the history Of the past, aud forwards in
the prospects of the future, to listen to
prudence and courage and honour
Since July, 1886, the Plan of Campaign,
as a method of obtaining political results,
has never, so far as l can discover, been
denounced by you in the simple and
straightforward language Englishmen like
and understand. But last night the Plan
of Campaign, so far from being denounced,

the streets were almost wholly given up to
the wind, the drifts and the scurrying
snow. Here and there stood a vehicle
which had been stalled and abandoned.
Street cars, beer wagons laden high with
loaded kegs, great trucks piled with car
cases from the Slaughter-hOuSes, broken
down hacks, delivery wagons and overturn-
ed milk carts found place in this mOurnful
display OF the abandoned. Up and down
the middle of Broadway poured q strange
procession Of coaches, hacks, cabriOletS,
COupeS and cabs, with here and there a
sleigh-for it was cabby's golden harvest

west and those going north on the east

Some wore blankets tied about their head.
Some had their back hair protected by
vari-cOloTed kerchiefS,' Some stalked in
huge rubber boots. Others showed the

legs tied tightly around thu ankle, and not
a few, emulating the wise and foxy tramp,

Dear Sir,-Ary communication from
you commands sincere respect.
But find your reference to my speech
OF Frid"y is inaccurate, if by ~condoning
the Plan OF Campaign you mean anything
nor" than thiS-Dhat | have treated the
Plan as an evil which may have averted
greater evils. [ quoted the Swing fires
III a like view, but J did not coudone the
Swing fires.
Mr., OBrien made some broad and def
hlte assertions concerning the Plan which,
II true, go far to show thar it was such
an evil as | have just described. | went no
farther than in the last paragraph, vet
the Government did not contradict any
one Of The several assertions.
| mnSt beg you to make a more minute
examination, when | think YOU will find
that my language has been marked by
care and caution, though the strange and
sad condition Of Ireland compels us to
tread in argument on ground one would
rather avoid.
With sincere respect, your faithful servant,

Sir,-I have the honour to acknowledge
and thank YOU for the courtesy of your
letter Of yesterday. 1t must be frankly
owned that no want Of care or caution
marked your language in regard to the
Plan OF Campaign.
But the construction likely to be placed
on yOnr reservations by ignoranC men will,
it IS to be feared, lend by implication
the sanction OF your authority to means
that i'll themselves are bad.
With your permission, [ propose to
publish the correspondence that has pass.

Dear Sir,-I am glad to think that nv
words bear in your sight Il more favour.

Liable to misinterpretation they may
be. In the vexed state of Irish questions

which is not so liable. For example.
statements on behalf of law and order
are one thing in England and another
thing in Ireland, where for a long course

most cruel and wicked wrongs, as Irish
history too plainly proves.
Although this is d personal cOrrespon.

not object.

like Mr.. Hamcrton, we could have seen only
the picturesqueness of the Highland clachan,
only the color and sublimity OF the huts, only
the fine women who live within them. But
how could we sit there and not see that the
picturesqueness was that of misery, that
whatever color and sublimity there might be

were blind-were but outward signs of pow

age of the poor when we thought it but a
peaceful rest after the work Of years In
English almshouses we have found it in our
