" Chamberlain vviote : "There Is no hope of leiinitlng tiio libeial party unless dlad- stono's scbemoof li ish government is aban doned. " Lord Hartlngton , In his address to the con vention , fald the policy wlilch Gladstone advocated was directly opnoscd to the opin ions of the entlte liberal patty , and even all tlm principals under him. Tlio liberal union ists were as line exponents of llbetal princi ples as were tlio majority who tollowed Gladstone , and in maintaining the suprem acy of the imperial parliament the better icpreseutatlvo ot thostt principles. Their association vvas formed , ' Loid lliutlngton continued , to pteservo the elntacter ot its members as unionist libciaK and by orginl/illon they achieved success which would have been Impracticable otherwise and had only been achieved altei organi7a- tlon by tlio tot tuition of an alliance with Iho consenatives. blcges would be laid lo Glad- ston's position which had not been taken bv Htorm , and tlio liberal unionists would have to vvoik until they wo-ro dele tted or obtUned a moio decisive victoij. ' 1 lie time had not set ariivod when a line of action in pitii.imont ( ould he laid down. 'Iho liberal unionist' ) must depend foi llieii line of patliamentary policy upon tlio action ol tlio government. Ghdstouo , ftii William Vcmon Haicourt and John Mm Icy based tlieii Bpceches upon granllng Irelanilexecntlvo govi'riiment , but Ignored all the arguments ot the llbcial union ists against such a jiolley. ( iladstone assumed that the goveniineiit was rompetlnc with liiiu In his sohenio ioi Ireland , but tlio gov ernment was opposed to iinj tiling ol tlio kind. 'Iho temoval of the present govern ment would icsiill In the election of Glad stone , who would settle tbo lush question in bis own way. We must nlwavs ii'inombei this when questions arise which might result In displacing tlio government , 'liio liberal unionists are Inteiested In sustaining the government. Questions hid arisen which weio conservative of tlio common iuteiest and would foieo them to adopt some reform necessary to maintain tlio union between the government and thollber.il unionists. Kcfcirlni : to tlio situation In Ireland , Lord Hartington said the piesent tale agitation was not spontaneous. It had been created Joi a political purpose. 11 speeches like John Dilliou's weio not checked , the result must bo the subveislon of every principle ot liberty in Ireland. "Wo are told , ' said the speakei , "that the P.nglislidemocicy will not stand these evictions , but I think llio Kng- lish demociacv will ask who is icsponsible for them. " "Gladstone. " added Loid llart- Inuton , "may not bo able to control John Dillon , but Gladstone can speak ono word which will difisolvo llio alliance between the agitatoisof John Dillon's class and the lib- finl pnly. 'Iho English people are awaiting that vvonl , which , if delajed , will sotlously endanger tlie good name of llio llbcial paitv. ( Great checrlnuj.
