festo says:
To the hish People:
The integrity and independence of a section
OF the Irish parliamentary party having been
pullers OF the Liberal party, it has become
necessary for me as the leader Of the Irish party
TO take counsel with you, and having given you
the knowledge which is in my. pos
tne matter which now solely devolves upon
you to decide. letter from Mr.. Gladstone TO
Mr. Morley, written for the purpose of in
tiuencing. the decision of the Irish party in the
choice Of their leader, and claiming for the
liberals and their leaders the right of veto upon
the choice, is the immediate cause of this ad-
dress, the purpose OF which Is to remind you
and your parliamentary representatives that
Ireland considers the independence of her party
as her only safeguard within the constitution
and above and beyond all other cOn
siderations whatever. The. threat in that
letter, repeated SO insolently on many
English platforms and in numerous British
newspapers, that unless Ireland comedies this
right of veto to England she will indefinitely
postpone her chance Of obtaining home rule
compels us. while not for moment admitting
the slightest possib ity of such loss, 60 put
before you Information which until now, 80 far
as my colleagues are concerned. has been solely
In my possession, anc which will enable you to
understand the measure of loss with which you
are threatened unless you consent to throw me
to the English wolves now bowling for my

HIS VISIT TO HAwARDEN.
In November of last year. in response to q
repeated and long standing request, | visited
Mr.. Gladstone at Hawarden and received the
details Of the intended proposals of himself
and his colleagues of the late liberal cabinet
with regard 10 home rule in the event of the
next general election favoring the Liberty
party. 1t Is unnecessary for me to do more at
present than to direct your attention TO certain
points OF these details which will be generally
recognized as embracing elements vital for your
informant and the formation of your judg
ment. These vital points may be suitably ar
ranged and considered undor the following
heads;
!. Retention Of Irish members in the imperial
parliament.
.. Settlement of the land or agrarlan diff
Guilty in Ireland.
). Control of the Irish consta abulary.
4. appointment of the Judiciary, including
judges of the supreme court, county court
judges and resident magistrates Upon the
subject of the retention of Irish members in
parliament Mr.. Gladstone told me that the
unanimous opinion Of his colleagues and him
self recently arrived at after most mature con-
sideration, after alternative proposals, was
that in order to conciate English public
opinion 1t would bs necessary to reduce the
Irish representation from 103 to 32.
THE LAND QUESTION.
Upon the settlement OF the land question it
was held that this was ons of the questions
which must be regarded as questions reserved
from control of the Irish legislature; but at the
same time Mr.. Gladstone intimated that, while
he would renew his attempt to settle the matter
by imperial legislation on the lines of the land
purchase bill OF 1885, he would not undertake to
put any pressure upon his own side or insist
upon their adopting his views; in other and
shorter words that the Irish legislature was not
to be given the power Of solving the agrarian
difficulty.
Wilh regard to the control of the Irish CON
Rtabuary, 1t was stated by Dir. Gladstone that
| in view of the necessity of conciliating En-
1 N1gN
| that it would be necessary 20 leave this force
| to the appointment Of its officers, under control
| of the imperial authority, for an indefinite
| period, while the funds for its maintenence,
| payment and equipment would be compulsorily
provided out of the Irish revenues.
| A period of ten or twelve years was suggested
as the limit of time during which the appoint
ment of judges and resident magistrates should
| be retained in the hands OF the imperial au
thority.
HUsHED UP FOR THE ELECTION.
At this interview which last about two
hours, Mr.. Gladstone did most of the talk
ing, but Mr.. Parnell expressed his view that
with the important and all e7grossing sub
iects Of agrarian reform, constabulary COZ
troll and judiciary appointments left either
under the imperial control or totally un-
provided for, it would be the hight
of madness for any Irish leader
to initiate Grattan's example and
consent to disband any army
which had cleared the way to victory, aud
he strongly dissented from the proposed
reduction In the number Of Irish members
during the interval Of probation. At the
instance OF Mr.. Gladstone and his col
leagues. silence was enjoined pending the
general election with regard TO any points Of
difference on the question of the retention
of the Irish members. The absence of any
policy of the liberal leaders, as shown in
this interview, filed Mr.. Parnell with con-
Germ.
TWO REMARKABLE PROPOSITIONS.
After the introduction OF the land pur-
cease bill, Mr.. Parnell lad two interviews
with Mr.. Morley in regard to the attitude
that should be adopted by the liberals and
home rulers in regard TO it. At one of
these interviews MIR. Morley made what Mr..
Parnell des .ribes as a remarkable proposal.
Referring to the probable approaching vic
tory OF the liberal party at the polls, he sug
geste1 some considerations as to the future of
the Irish party, and be asked ms whether
would be willing TO assume the Office of chief
secretary for ireland. or whether would allow
another member of my party to take the posi-
ton. He also put before me the desirability
of filing one OF the law Offices of the
crown in Ireland by legal member
OF my party. | told him, amazed as was at
the proposal. that could not agree TO forfeit in
any way the Independence Of the party or any
OF its members; that the Irish people had
