PARTY POLITICS IN ENGLAND.

MINISTERS AND THE PRO-BOERS. LOBpON, August 12. At Blenheim, on Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough entertained 3000 Union representatives of the Kingdom at luncheon. Mr Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, in his speech dealt with the anti-patrio-tic Opposition, with the t ctic* of the Irish party, and the mdi "soluble alliance of both wings of the Unionists. Mr Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in a strong speech declared that the Liberal Imperialists would never extricate the remnant of the Liberal Party from the pro-B er and Little-Englander marsh. Lord Rosebery had lately recommended the Imperial Lberal Association to call themselves Lhe Liberal Imperial sts, but they put the word Imperialists in brackets, implying that Imperialism was merely a political parenthesis. Unionists would have n^tliintf to do with Imperialism in brackets. ( heors.) After declaring that the behaviour of the Nationalists during the pssi sessions had rendered the reduction of the present ovt-r-representat on of Ireland an urgent matter, Mr ChamberKin eulogised the seaifastness of the Democracy id defence of the whole Empire. When Sir H.C inipbell-Banntrman asked for peace at any pric-*, and wouldanswer as Lincoln answered the pessimist nrn -lity Coppe heads in the N rth, history would justify us as it bad justified Lincoln.
