The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-11-26

communicated to Parnell letter written
last Monday to Morley, by Gladstone. In it
Mr.. Gladstone says: After using all the
means Of observation and reflection in my
ccIusion that, notwithstanding the splen-
did services rendered by Parnell to
his country, his continuance at the
present moment in the leadership would
be productive of consequences disastrous in
the highest degree to the cause of Ireland"
Gladstone adds further, as the expansion of
his conclusions. that Parnell's continuance
as leader would not only place the many
friends OF the Irish cause in position of
great embarrassment, but would render his
CGladstohe) retention OF the leadership of
the Liberal party. based as it has betn
mainly uron the prosecution of the Irish
cause, almost nullity. These views, he
says, he had expressed personally to Nc
Carthy, and he begged Mccarthy to regard
them as confidential if he found Parnell
also begged that Mccarthy would make
known to the Irish party at to-day's meeting
that such was his conclusions, If he SHOULD
find Parnell had not in contemplation any
step of the nature indicated. He wrote to
Morley in case Mccarthy should be unable
to communicate with Parnell. In con-
clusion Gladstone SAYS: " have thought
1t best to put this in terms simple and
direct, much as l should have liked to
alleviate the personal nature of the situ-
atlon as respects the manner of conveying
what my public duty has made it an obli-
CATION to say"
II is learned that Gladstone had an inter
view with Parnell before the publication of
the letter, anu urged him to retire. The
letter caused intense excitement in the lob
bies.
Gladstone is annoyed because Parnell, at
tO-day'S meeting, did not mention MS inter
view with Morley, ard resents keenly Par
nelPs disregard of his protest. Conserva-
lists and Unionists gleefully chat over the
split in the opposition. The Liberal news
papers in many instances comment in the
strongest terms upon PamelfS houting
Gladstone, and his contempt for his Liberal
allies.
a meeting of Nationalists was held to-
night, but nothing was done, and another
meeting IS arranged for tomorrow. Several
Liberal candidates announced their with
drawal from the campaign, foreSeeing de-
feat The Parnellites openly assert that
they will stick by Parnell. even if they de-
lay home rule fifteen years.
Parnell matter. The Daily News says it
is with the deepest regret that it places to-
gether. probably for tie last time, the names
Of Gladstone and ParnelL The latter will
find Englishmen are not to be persuaded
out of their convictions.
The News also says Parnell has treated
the illustrious Englishmen with lament
able want OF courtesy. Whatever happens
to the Irish leader the Liberal party must
be saved.
The Standard says, even if Parnell de-
cides to temporize. the sting will not be re-
! moved from the minds OF English home
rulers.
The Post says ParneErs action threatens
to dissolve the Home-rule Alliance more
suddenly than ii was formed.
The Times makes a savage attack upon
Gladstone, saying nothing can conceal the
fact that it rests entirely with the chief of
a criminal cons piracy to close the career of
the Quondam Liberal leader with most ig-
nOminOus tiasco. 1t says no parallel can be
found for yesterdays political by-play or
the position in which it leaves the parties.
The Chronicle says: "When we call to
mind all that Gladstone has borne for Par
nell we can find no parallel for tho baseness
Of Parnell's reQuital."
The Chronicle euloSzes Davitt's indie
pendence.
DUBLIN, Nov. 25.-The Freeman's Jour
nal says the report that Parnell is to retire
is absolutely without foundation.
The Express states that Gladstone hinted
to ParnelI it would be better for the Irish
cause if he would not attend the coming ses-
sion of Parliament.
PsrnePs friends say they will not allow
him to absent himself.
