4 November, in regard 70 the intended
-,,18sals with regard 70 Home kule IN tue
-sr- of the Liberal party winning at tue
-ay- general election. Mr.. Gladstone oe-
ares that no single suggestion was offered
s- him 10 Nr. Parnell. either as formal
.-asa final one. The conversation then
-sli was a statement perfectly free and
.r;-hou, prejudice Of the points on which
NJ Gladstone. or such Of his colleagues as
10 ,o1l5 consult, were inclined 10 believe
-oe Home Rule plan of lSS6 could be i'm
rr,,-e5 and concerning which he was deSl-
mas % know whether any serious oo-
a.-iou has arisen in the mind OF Mr.. Par
ran To none OF these suggestions did
psrrer raise a serious objection. Mr..
Gladstone denies he made the statements
which Parnells memory aScribes TO him,
-arvthing substantially resembling them,
..ser as 10 the retention of the Irish men,
s-s .n the Imperial parliament or as 70
-as settlement of the land question or the
-~lran difficulties or the control OF the
1s.ab1.ary or the appointment OF the
-c.cary.
TIE oouversatiOn between them was
---lv conddential a; 10 publish even true
llO-n. is 20 break the seal OF
evidence which renders political coop
ration possible. Every suggestion made
uN- paruell was from written memor-
EG which Mr. Gladstone can refer.
Ne-- parnell nor himself was bound oy
The .rsatiOn 70 an absolute acceptance
OF tla roposals canvasSed. During the
year GA. 1ad since elapsed he had never
received rom Mr.. Parnen any intimation
u al- a.,erlticn of his views regarding
.1r ott1em. In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone
irs char ue has always held, both IN pub
c and in private, that the party OF
-and ought 70 remain entirely inde-
.1dent Of the Liberal party of Great
.itaiu 10 is their duty and his duty, con
rmably with the spirit of Grattan and
Connell, 70 study all adjustments on the
,sat matter Of Home Rule which may
.1d 10 draw 10 their side moderate anc
sutable treatment. But for him to pro
0se any measure except such as ireland
oud approve on the line already laid
own. would be faulty as regards himself
-d treachery 70 the Irish nation, in which,
-en ov the side Of Parnell, he can claim TO
l.-al lm interest
