EARLY IN THE FIGHT.
Samuel Storey, NJ. P, One of the First
Home Rulers, Visits the City.
THE GUEST OF HENRY .PHIPPS, JR.
The UniOnists to. be Wiped Out on the
Next Appeal to Voters.
A SWEEPING VICTORY BOUND TO COME

Hon. Samuel Storey, leading member of
the British Parliament and friend of
Henry Phipps, Jr., arrived in the city last
evening from California, where he spent the
winter. Mr.. Phipps met him at the depot,
and escorted him to his home in Allegheny.
Mr.. Storey is an old friend of Mr.. Carnegie,
and was with the coaching party last sum-
mer in England. He then met Mr.. Blaine,
and, before he returns to England in COM
pany with Messrs. Carnegie and Phipps, he
will call on the President and Secretary of
State at Washington. He entertained the
coaching party at his home in Sunderland.
Mr.. Storey will leave for Washington to-
day.
He is tall, handsome man, easy to inter-
view, and seems to carry with him more
than the average amount of the milk of
human kindness. 1t is more of such men
that Parnel and the Irish people need to
defend them in the English House. In an
an interview at the depot last night Mr..
Storey said:
WHAT THE EMINENT MAN SAID.
am a Radical in politics; that is, 1 belong to
the extreme wing of the Liberal party. fiat
ter myself that am one of the original five
members who fought for home rule. remem-
ber well in 1881 what bitter stings and
slurs Sir Vernon Harcourt cast at US
in the House of Commons. Even
Gladstone himself, who was then
a Coercionist, was very bitter when we crossed
his path or opposed him. Now Gladstone mas
become the champion of the home rule cause,
and Harcourt is staunch supporter. 'Tis
ever SO; the great men acknowledge a wrong
and try to right it.
always claimed that the principle that a ma
tion shall not dictate how it shall be governed
is radically unjust, and this is why contend
for the rights of Ireland. Balfour is personally
a clever man, of some ability. He carries
out policy boldly and defantly; but
Balfour is not to be blamed He is not respon-
siDle for the nasty things he does. The laws
he enforces are bad, and should never have
been passed. We want to have them efaced
from the statute books Just as soon as we can.
The time is not far distant when home rule for
Ireland will triumph. The Government may
be dissolved by law in 1891; at least not later
than 1892, and it may be that we
WILL FORCE THE MINISTRY
to resign and restore Gladstone to power before
that time. The cause is gaining ground, and
we will wipe out the Unionist vote at the polls.
We propose to elect Liberals in their stead.
Chamberlain is hedging, and would like to
come back into the fold; but we don't want
him. We will soon&nock the props from under
the Unionist contingent. Chamberlain and
few of the leaders who are well established in
their districts will be elected; but on the next
appeal to the country their followers will be
defeated. My district of Sunderland sends me
to Parliament to uphold what is just, and my
constituents have Endorsed my course.
Yes, know Patrick Egan has been recog-
nized by President Harrison. 1t is doubtless
to be taken as compliment for his great work
in behalf of his countrymen. Mr.. Egan is an
honest, fearless man, and never believed the
lies that were told about him.
No, don't believe Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the new Minister to Washington, is to be re-
called in short time. We don't need Minis
tiers anyhow in this age of telegraphs and tele-
phones. They are entirely useless.
Mr. Storey was anxious to hear of the
latest election news from England. He
thought the climate in California the finest
in the world.
