LONDON. Oct 0.At no tmo since the break
up Of tho Liberal party on Mr.. Gladstonc's in
PRODUCTION OF the Home Rulo bill have political
circles been In such state of fcrment as now.
The question of the succession TO the House OF
Commons leadership made vacant by tho
death OF William Henry Smith. excitcs the
hopes and fears OF Conservatives and Liberals
alike The former are aptatcd over the pros
pect of tho accession OF Mr.. Goschcn. whom
they detest. pcrsisting that his claims are
past. The latter are exulting In the probable
ity OF a breach in the ranks Of their opponents
on the cvo of the general elections.
Mr.. Parnelrs disappearance from the field Of
politics adds to the perplcxity and hcightcns
the interest of the situation. Tho political
clubs Of this city, usually deserted ut this
period OF the year. have become within tho
last three days the foci for excited groups Of
politicians. drawn from the rcposo Of the Par
lamcntary recess toward the centres Of in
formation.
The members Of tho Carlton Club refuse to
believe that Lord Salisbury will appoint Mr.
Goschen to tho post hold by tho late William
Henry Smith. despite the open declaration
made by tho friends of Mr. Goschcn that II he
is passed over he will resign his place in tho
Government. Tho Liberals earnestly desire
to sec Mr. Goshcon succeed Mr.. Smith, knowing
that ne would soon be mt loggcrheads
with tho House. and that they could
rely on his conduct as leader to
precipitate dissolution OF Parliament.
Private representations have been made to
Lord Salisbury by an important group of Con-
servative members. who insist that Mr.. Bal
