LIBERAL UNIONISTS CONFER The Opposers of Irish Home Rule Gather For Oonsultation, NO LINE OF ACTION LAID DOWN. | Jobn 13 Lord W etonc zht's inful Epistic and 4 Attack on Glad- Allies— Other News, rtingtu and Hix Poreign Organizing For Battle. LoNtoy, Dee. 7,—At the liberal union con: ference to-day, Marquis Hartington, chair- man, among the distinguished persons pres ent were Earls Derby and Northibrook, Baron Rothigehild, George J. Gosehen, ex-Attorney General James, and numerous noble Letters of regret were read from Lord Tenny- son, the Duke of Areyle and John Bright. John Bright sald: “I do not attend because 1 might say something which would give pain. 1fear to speak, or even wiile respecting fstone’s course which astonishes and greatly pains me, especially his speech to the Irish deputation which lately called upon him. It seems Gladstone has gone so far in his wrong course there is no hope of his re- turn, I deplore and condemn such action, and if present, might say something which would widen the breach. Gladstone’s lrish allies are driving matiers to extremity and yet no word comes from Parnell or Gladstone 1o restrain them.” Chamberlain wrote: *“There is no hope of reuniting the liberal party unless Glad- stone’s scheme of Irish government is aban doned,” Lord Hartington, in his address to the eon- vention, said the' policy which Gladstone advocated was directly opposed to the opin fons ot the entire liberal party, and even all tho principals under him, ‘T'he liberal union- isls were as true exponents of liberal prinei- ples as were the majority who followed Gladstone, and _in maintaining the siprem- acy of thie vmperial parliament the better representative of those principles, Their assoclation was formed,® Lord Hartinzton continued, to preserve tlie eharacter of its membess - as - unionist liberals, and by organization they achieved success which would have been impracticable otherwis and had only been achicved after organi tion by the formatton of an allianee with_th conservatives. Sieges would be laid to Glad: ston’s position which had not been taken by storm, and the liberal unionists would have to work intil they were defeated or obtained a more decisive vietory. The time had not yet rived when a line of action in_patliament could be laid down. The Ilberal unionists must depend for their line of parlinmentary policy upon the aetion of the government. Gladstone, Sir William Vernon Harcourt und John Morley based their speeches upon rranting Ireland exceative government, but znored all thearguments of the liberal uhion- ists against such a policy. Gladstone assumed that the g nment was competing with him in his soheme for Ireland, but the gov- ernment was opposed to anything of the kind. ‘The rewoval of the present govern ment would result in the election of Glad stone, who would settle the [rish question 1n his own way. We must always remember this when questions arise which might result in displacing the government. ‘Lhe liberal unionisis are {nterested in sustaining the government. Questions had arisen which were conservative of the common interest and would foree them to_adopt some reform essary to maintain the union between government and the liberal unionists. ferring to the situation in- Ireland, Iord Hartington said the prescnt rate agitation Jus ot spontaneous. "It had been created for a political purpose. 1¥ specches like John Dilliow’s were not chiecked, the result must be the subversion of every principle of liberty in Ireland. *Weo are told,” said the v, “that the English demoerey will not stand these evictions, but 1 think the Fng- will ask who is responsible SGladstone,” added Lord 1art- not be able to control John adstone can speak one word nee between the tors of Joln ' Dillon’s elass and the lib- eral party. ‘The English people are awaiting that word, whien, if_delayed. will seriously endanger the good name of the libers |Great eheering). tl Selborne moved that the conference aftirm its determination to make every efi to uphold the union.

It is unfortunate that President Cleveland has not seen fit to place himself in contidential and mutually helptul relations with the leaders of his party in con- gress or with other exvonents of demoeratic sentlment. It 1s only by the active co-operation of its leaders that party government ean be made suceessful.
