mo small stir was created in liberal circles
today by the speech of Sir Robert Reed, at
torney general in the last liberal govern
ment at Rugby last night, repudiatng Mr..
Moreys attempt to hush up the long stand
ing difference between Lord Rosebery and
Sir William HarcOurt, which really was the
cause of Lord Rosebery's resignation. Lord
Rosebery was, he said, forced into Mr.. Glad
stones place against his own inclination by
those who, for unexplained reasons, declined
to serve under Sir william Iarcourt. Had
Lord Rosebery declined, the government
would have been broken up The present
effort to depreciate a frank facing of the
situation was unwise and unfair both to
Lord Rosebery and Sir William Harcourt.
Sir Robert Reed evidently believes that the
extreme radical section hopes by closing the
discussion OF the leadership, to permanently
Oust Lord Rosebery in favor of Sir William
Harcourt. Interesting developments are eX-
