"When we reached this country, SIX

treacherv on the part of Mr. Gladstone
are absolutely baseless, and unreal side
issues raised for the purpose Of divert
ing the judgment of impulsive 1rishmen
from the real issue That issue is whether
il is humanity possible TO win the general
election under Mr.. Parnell's leadership
With Mr.. Gladstone gone, his party irreyo
cably estranged from the Irish, and the
whole British people angered by insults by
the leaders, we are lost.
