LORD RANDOLPH cHURcHILL's POSITION.
The attitude OF Lord Randolph Churchill has been
the subject of much comment lie had not come
e No
doubt that he means to hsrass the Government as
much as he possibly He seems to have found
that what ne meant to DO conciaory last year had no
effect The Government neither trust him nor want
him he is going TO be a thorn in their hesh h$ir
Gladstone finally determines 10 oppose the Govern
ment on the question: he can reckon on the support O.
Lord Randolph. Lord Randolphs position is very
trying one for the moment Tor the developments OF
the last two years have all been against him and have
upset all OF bis political calculations The three men
In the Cabinet of his time Of age are men whom
for personal and party reasons he diskes LORD sIan
hops, Lord George Hamilton and &r. Haltour Ihe
firsf two were neyee serious competitors Mr Bahour
Is There IS no doubt that the friendship which grew
out Of the birth ard rise OF the Fourth party has now
become Jealous dislike, al the stronger because OF
the strength of his oppOneut and the impossdlty OF
Lord Rsudoiph's now ever heading him In the peteaa
race when Lord Randolph spoke after Lord George
Hamilton the other night he proiesscd 10 be snihseo
by the purcst f4endship, but managed af me Sane
time TO give them all Ole backhanded hits ne eoSo.
The Opposition delighted checred him 10 man, put
the Minisieialsts manifested disapprovai In their
manner. Lord Randolph had not before eSperenoen
this nor did he like It. Lord Charles Beresford hardy
knew what line to tahe but VIII probably not be found
among tho select few who follow Lord Randolph INTO
the Opposition lobby
