The Great Liberal Hurls Back the Charge
of Misrepresentation.
LONDON, Oct. 2l-Johu Morley spoke at
Newcastle last night and replied to Bal.
tours recent attacks upon him He said
that Balsour's arguments were mainly of
the tn quoque kind. and were full of mis-
representations and irrelevant statements
The statement that he Morley had spent
only five days in Ireland during his term
as chief secretary OF ireland would not
have been bad joke if true, but as
matter of fact it was absolutely untrue
He denied that he was prejudiced against
the police. Balfour himself had recently
done him the Justice to say that he had
never said a word against them.
The Trouble at Tipperary.
He reiterated his statement that the
police had used excessive force at Upper
airy. 1t was not the bodily injury
which, as Balfour had SAID could be
mended by little sticking -plaster-but
IL was the sting and insult OF the treat
ment that inflamed the people. He de-
clined to reply 60 Balfour's invitation 10
express an opinion as to the innocence or
guilt of the Tipperary prisoners He
would form no decision on any persons
guilt until the accused had had fair
trial before judge and jury as was Gus
tomary in England.

enough yesterday afternoon TO insult
Governor Campbell. The house was
called to order at p. m. and reading of
the journal Immediately proceeded with.
During this reading Claude Meeker, the
governors private secretary. entered and
took the usual position of the bearer of
message-in the center aisle, carrying
document in his hand. IL was already
known by the members that the docu-
nIent which Meeker carried was mes
sage, and its purport was generally I'M
derstood.
Communication Broken on.
Speaker Hysell would not recognize
Meeker and at once, upon the conclusion
of the reading of the journal. Geyer Dem
oaraD moved to adjourn TO 10 "a m. to-
day. Another Democrat promptly made
a second, and the house adjourned with
the governors messenger standing on the
floor waiting for recognition. Governor
Campbell feels the insult deeply, and de-
clares that he will hold no further COM
munica,ion with the Legislature unless
they send IA committee to him.
Leading Democrats have been very
guarded in their conversation regarding
the special session. but they all. without
reserve, condemn this apparently studied
insult to the chief executive The new
recommendation of Governor Campbell
(Which is to let Mayor Mosby appoint two
Democrats and two Republicans on the
board until the April eiection) is not
likely to be received by the Democrats
with any better welcome than the first.
