Gladstone has IssutU a reply to the 1'arnell manifesto mani-festo la which he denies in toto the statrmenta mado by the Irish leader in regard to the retention of Irish members in the Imperial Parliament; Parlia-ment; the settlement of the land or agrarian dlfflmlty la Ireland, control con-trol of the Irish constabillajy and the appointment Of the judiciary In Ireland. Gladstone gays he trill not apply a single epithet to Parnell, not being his judge. " aaladstone then comes to the recital re-cital of tbe proposal alleged by Par nell In his manlfestc to hare been made to him during his visit to Qlalstone at Ilawarden last November No-vember In regard to the Intended proposals with regard to home rule in the event of the liberal party winning at the then next general eleciiou. Gladstone declares that no single suggestion was oflered by h m to Parnell either as a formal or a final one. Tbe conversation then held was perfectly free, without n-Judlce, on points on which Gladstone Glad-stone or such of his colleagues as he could consult. They were Inclined to believe the home rule plan of 1SSS could be improved, and concerning con-cerning which he was desirous to know whether any serious objection had arisen in the mind of Parnell. To none of these suggestions did Parnell raise a nerlous ol jectlou. Gladstone denies de-nies that he made statement which Parnell 's memory ascrlb a to him, or anything substantially rrsetn-bling rrsetn-bling them, either as to tbe retention reten-tion of the Irish members In the imperial parliament or the settlement settle-ment of the land question, or agrarian agra-rian diaiculties, or the control of politics. The conversation between tbem was strictly confidential. To publish even a true account is to break the seal of confidence, which alone renders political co-operation possible. Every suggestion made to Parnell was from written memoranda, memoran-da, to which Gladstone can refer. In conclusion, Gladstone says he alo-ays held, both in public anl in Frlvate, that tho national party of reland ought to remain entirely independent of tho liberal party of Great Britain. It is their duty and hlsduty, conformable with tbe spirit or Grattan and O'Connill, to study all adjustments in the great matter of home rule that may tend to draw to their side moderate, equitable men. |
