PABXELL AND GLADSTONE.
The Grand Ola Mass Opi.isa Of
she Irish Leader.
DUBLIN. Nov. 25.-rhe Press As.
ISOLATION states that If Parnell per-
sists In retaining the public leader
ship Of the Irish party Gladstone
viii refuse to cOuntenance any
amendment TO the address on the
Queens speech and will immedi-
ately return to Hawarden and not
appear in Parliament until after the
Christmas holidays.
At the request Of Gladstone, Nor
ley has communicated to Parnell q
letter written Monday to Morley by
Gladstone. In 1t Mr. Gladstone
says: AFTER using all the means Of
observation and reflection In my
power, have arrived ut the conclu-
sion that, Notwithstanding the
splendid services rendered by Par
nell 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 ex.
preston Of his conclusions, that
Parnell's continuance as lenier
would not only place many friends
of the Irish cause in q position Of
great embarrassment, but would
render his (Gladstone's) retention
Of the leadership Of the Liberal
party, based as IL has been mainly
uPon the prosecution Of the Irish
cause almost q nullity. These views
he says he has expressed personally
to Mccarthy. This
EXPRESSION OF HIS VIEWS
he begged Mccarthy to regard as
confidential If he found Parnell
contemplated spontaneous action,
but he also begged that Mccarthy
would make known to the Irish
party at today's meeting that such
was his conclusion IL he should find
Parneli had not in contemplation
any step of the nature indicated.
He wrote to Morley, In case Nc
Carthy should be unable TO COM
municate with Parnell. In con-
clusion Gladstone says: 81 have
thought it best to put this in terms
simple and direct, much rs l should
have liked 10 alleviate the personal
nature Of the situation rs respects
the manner OF conveying what my
public duty has made il an o5ligA-
ton 10 say"
1t is learned that Gladstone had
an interview with Parnell before
the publication Of the letter and
urged him to retire. The letter
caused intense excitement in the
Hobbies.
There was a meeting Of national
lists tonight, but nothing was done.
Another was arranged for tomorrow.
Several liberal candidates have an
nounced their withdrawal from the
campaign, foreseeing defeat The
Parnellitss openly assert that they
will stick by Parnell, even if they
delay home rule for fifteen years.
Gladstone tonigh. met Parnell. AT
the meeting he did not mention The
interview with Morley AMI resents
keenly Parneli's disregard Of his
protest. The conservatives and
uniOnists gleefully chat o-er the
split In the opposition. The liberal
newspapers in many instances COM
ment in the strongest terms upon
Parnell for fiouting Gladstone and
his contempt for his liberal allies.
COMMENTS or THE PRESS.
All the papers comment freely on
the Parnell matter. The Daily
Neirs says 1t is with the deepest re-
greet that it places together, probably
for the last time, the names Of Glad
stone and ParneIl. The latter will
lind that Englishmen are not to be
persuaded cut of their convictions.
The Neps also says ParneIl has
treated the illustrious Englishman
with q lamentsble want Of courtesy.
Whatever happens to the Irish
leader, the liberal party must be
saved.
The Standard says, even IL Par
nell decided to temporize, the sting
will not be removed from the minds
Of the English home rulers.
The Pos says: Parnell's action
l threatens TO dissolve the home rule
alliance more suddenly than 1t was
formed"
The 1im.s makes a savage attack
upon Gladstone, saying that nothing
can conceal the fact that it rests en-
tirely with the chief Of the criminal
conspiracy to close the career Of
the quondam liberal leader with the
most ignominious fiasco. Itsay.
that no parallel can be found for
yesterdays political by-piay or the
position in which it leaves the par
ties.
The Chronicle tays: "Whcn We
| call to mind all that Gladstone has
borne for Parnell, we can find no
| PARALLEL for the baseness OF Parnell's
requital." The Chronicle eulogizes
Davitt's independence.
