WHAT LORD ROSEBERY HAS TO

LIBERALS
SHOT AT LIBERAL LEADER
Says Vote of Confidence in Camp
beII-Bannerman Was Nothing
More Nor Less Than Or
ganized Hypocrisy.
MARLBOROUGH IN A NEW ROLE

LONDON, July 19-Speaking at the
City Liberal club this afternoon Lord
Rosebery sad that his recent manifesto,
in which he declared that the Liberal
party could not exist under the present
condition had been followed by such an
extraordinary hullabaloo that he felt con-
vinced he had expressed in this manifesto
the clear and exact truth in respect to
the situation and not one of his allega-
tions had been disproved or challenged.
Lord Rosebery said ne regarded this as
conclusive proof that when the naked
truth was told in the political world
produced an amount of anguish, bowling
and misery which was unspeakable; that
there was no political student who did
not know in his heart what he had said
represented not merely the absolute truth,
but also common sense.
The speaker said he wrote the mani
festo because after the meetings in
Queens hall and at the Reform club,
unless some clear repudiation Of the
statements regarding the war were made,
it is impossible for the Liberal party to
continue to exist as a sound force, APP
pealing to the highest sympathies of the
country. On the question of the war,
his lordship said his starting point was,
that in spite Of the Jameson raid, and N
spite of the South African committee, the
IoOGlS udu lnNdu6d UnG uOHlDlOnS OIL the
late queen, and from that moment, al
though he had criticised the methods Of
the government, yet on the main issue,
to carry the war to triumphant close,
1t will have his warmest support.
NEW PARTY POSSIBLE.
The failings of the government should
be the opportunity of the opposition. If
the Liberals will not undertake the task,
another party may be created for the
purpose Lord Rosebery SAID, however,
that he does not despair of seeing the
Liberal party purged of all it's ani-na-
tfonal sentiments; that the country is r.pS
for a domestic programme and that he be-
lieves that the revolutionized Liberals will
yet bre atEe new life into the dry bones
Of public office
AS to the statement that he will not
voluntarily return to the political arena,
Lord Rosebery explained that this had
been his attitude since his resignation
His lordship concluded by saying that he
must proceed alone and plough his tur-
row alone; but that before ne shall reach
the end of his furrow, it is possible he
may find himself not alone.
Lord ROsebery said the vote of conf
dence in Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman,
the Liberal leader passed at the Reform
club meeting, was, in the Earl of Bea-
cCrsfields phrases, "Organizei hy-
pocrisy." and that his reason for
disturbing the Olympian repose Gre
ated by this vote of confidence
was that the position is as perilous 10
the party as to the present government.
There is, he said, no impartial observer
who remembers any government which
had crowded such frightful assemblage
of error, weakness and wholesale blum
ders into it's administration
Lord Rosebery's remarks were greeted
with loud and prolonged cheers.
