GIadstone's Views
LONDON, Nov. 25.-At the request of
Gladstone, Morley has communicated to
Parnell letter written on Monday to
Morely 10y Gladstone. In it Mr.. Gladstone
says that latter using all the means of OBJ
seryatlon and reflection in my power, have
arrived at the conclusion that nOtwith-
standing the splendid services rendered by
Parnell to his country his continuance at
the present moment in leadership
would be productive of consequences
disastrous in the highest degree to the
cause of Ireland. Gladstone adds further
as an expansion to his conclusions that
Parnell's continuance as leader wonld
not only place many friends of the Irish
cause in a position of great embarrass-
ment, but would render his (Gladstone's)
retention of the leadership of the liberal
party. based as it h Is been mainly upon
the prosecution of the Irish cause almost
to a nullity. These views, he
says, he had expressed personally
to Mccarthy. In the expansion of his
views he begged Mccarthy to regard it as
confidential if he found that Parnell CON
tempIated IA spontaneous action; but he
also begged that Mccarthy would make
known to the Irish party at today meet
ing that such was his conclusion if he
should find that Parnel had not in
contemplation any step of the
nature indicated. He wrote to MoreIy in
case Mccarthy should lie unable to COM
municate with Parnell. In conclusion
Gladstone says: | have thought it best to
put this In terms simple 9nd direct, much
dts | should like to alleviate the personal
nature of the situation as respects the
manner of conveying what my public duty
has made it an obligation to say.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Gladstone is an
noyed because Parnell at the meeting did
not mention the interview with Morey
and resents keenly Parnell's disregard of
his protest
The liberal newspapers comment in the
strongest terms upon ParneIl AOuting
Gladstone and his contempt for the liberal
allies
Opinions of the Press.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-AIl the papers COM
ment freely on the Parnel matter The
Daily News says it is with the deepest re-
gret that 1t places together probably for
the last time the names of Gladstone and
Parnell. The latter will find that English
men are not to be persuaded out of their
convictions.
The Post says that Parnell's action
threatens 70 dissolve the home rule al,
lance more suddenly than it was formed.
The Times makes a savage attack upon
Gladstone, saying that nothing can CON
ceal the fact that il rests entirely with the
chief of the criminal cons piracy to close
the career of the luodam liberal leader
with the most ignominous fasco.
The Standard says even if ParneI de-
cides to temporize, the sting will not be
removed from the minds of English home
rulers
The News also says Parnell has treated
illustrious Englishmen with lamentabe
want of courtesy. Whatever happens to
the Irish leader, the liberal party must be
saved.
