| CAUSES DISAPPOINTMENT
The composition Of a new government ia
a cause OF intense disappointment among
| the radicals. Not single man except John
Morley, prominently identified with the
radicals, has been appointed as q cabinet
minister, and among the ex-oabinet posts
few members of the new set have any but
| the remotest chance Of getting place. The
old set are masters of the situation.
Representatives of the old whig
families and liberal mediocrities hav-
| ing 6ristooratio connections and
never associated with extreme views, have
been Mr.. Gladstone's exclusive choice.
| Even Stansfed, who In the last Gladstone
cabinet represented the democratic opinion,
has been shelved. Report says that Mr..
Bryce may yet come in as first commissioner
| of works with seat in the cabinet, but this
is only likely to happen IL Mr.. Gladstone
finds the storm of the radicals' indignation so
overpowering as 20 compel the appointment
of Mr.. Bryce.
PROTESTS AT THE CLUB.
The official list, when scanned tonight at
the National Liberal Club, awoke vehement
protests. A bulk OF the members Of strong
radical tendencies turned from the an
nouncement with an expression OF scorn
and anger. Was ii for this undiluted list
Of old men associated with the traditions Of
whiggery, with some new recruits from the
territorial and artstocratic class. that the
radicals had given their money and
their timel This was the general
question, and a responsive prediction
followed that such q government
could not last three months after parliament
resumed business. Apart from radical
opinion the cabinet is really composed OF
eminently reputable men. Mr. Gladstone
has preferred collecting around him tried
colleagues accustomed to subordination aud
certain not to deviate into strange
ways. His three new cabinet minis
ters, MessrS. Asquith, Arnold Morley
and Ackland are sound liberals. Mr..
dicalism, but he has legal mind with
such strong bias toward high office as
makes him malleable on principle.
Arnold Morley is everything Gladstonian.
Mr. Ashland has potent old whig conneo-
tions and is heir to large estates.
TO STRENGTHEN HIS POSITION.
Mr.. Gladstone will probably try to
strengthen his position by Offering minor
posts to Mr.. Stuart, radical leader Of the
London county council; Mr.. Hunter, now
leader Of the Scotch radicals; Mr.. Burt and
others. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre is likely to get
the ministry of agriculture; but nothing
Mr.. Gladstone can offer will prevent the
radical leaders, Immediately upon the re-
assembling Of parliament, from showing res.
sentiment at their exclusion from office.
| Fortunate ministerialists explain.that the
which Mr.. Gladstone presented TO tho queen,
but that her majesty being irreconoilable,
Mr.. Gladstone was forced to eliminate the
name. Mr. Labouchere's friends refuse to
credit this statement and point TO the oms-
sion OF other radicals. as proving the hol-
lowness Of the excuse. The open truth is that
Mr.. Gladstone detests Mr.. Labouchere and
the latter heartily reciprocates. Nothing
in Mr.. Laboucheres political life is likely
to cause him as much rejoicing as leading
schism destroying the Gladstone govern
ment. He will have ample opportunity for
this in the coming session, when the irate
radicals refuse 20 crafty Mr.. Gladstone's
passion for home rule before everything.
THE vICERoYsHIP OF IRELAND.
Baron Houghton's appointments as vice.
ROY Of Ireland amazed even Mr.. Gladstone's
most intimate friends. When an inkling
| of the appointment reached Dublin this
morning il was deemed incredible, the
name Of Mr.. Houghton being utterly un-
known in parliamentary circles Tho re-
port was held TO be without foundation until
the appointment was officially announced.
The peerage records, which show that Baron
HonQhton was a lord in waiting 10 the
queen in 1886, disclose no suggestion or a
reason who he should be appointed viceroy
of Ireland
His father was an old friend Of Mr. Glad
stones, but was neither noted for wealth
illustrious ss poet nor a politician. He died
a comparatively poor peer, his political in
fiuence and literary reputation decaying.
An Associated Press representative, In an
interview with person Intimate with Mr..
GIadstone's family, learned that Baron
Houghton has been from early life a protege
Of Mr.. Gladstone and he has often been at
