LONDON, Aug. 9.--Balfour, in an ad-
dress at Manchester tonight, declared
that Gladstone's insinuation that the
government had sacrificed the rights
oil the Protestant residents of Malta in
order to secure the favor of the Catholic
minority was a totally unfounded and
most barefaced attack from the man
who sent harrington to Rome in 1881 to
enter INTO direct relations with the pope.
1t was, said Balfour, one of the many
instances of Giadstones perversity In
attacking the government through his
own reputation. "Why," asked tho
speaker, was Gladstone determined to
fepudiate every act OF the first fifty
years Of his life, and to score the govern
ment when they followed his precedent
