POLITICS AT HOME.
THE GENERAL ELECTION. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. THE IRISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. Press Association.-'Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. London, May 25. In view of the general elections the Marquis of Salisbury has addressed a meeting of 400 Tory electioneering agents. The Labour Electoral Congress is urging that the question of payment of members be made a test question at the forthcoming general elections. The division on the second reading of the Local Government Bill was taken in the largest House during the present session. There were 27 Irish members absent during the discussion on the measure. Mr. Gladstone denounced the Marquis of Salisbury's recent speech as tending to incite Ulster. _ The Hon. A. J. Balfour endorsed the views of the Premier.
The result of the division on the second reading of the Irish Local Government Bill is encouraging Ministers to push the Bill through, and the general election may possibly be delayed till it has parsed.
