THE HOME GENERAL ELECTIONS.
(Reuter's Telegrams.) London, June 20. Lord Randolph Churchill has issued a manifesto in which he denounces the boundless egotism and senile vanity of Mr Gladstone, and exhorts the electors to overthrow the disastrous autocracy of the Premier. (Special to Press Association.) London, June 20. The Conservatives will support the candidature of 80 Liberal Unionists. Mr Gladstone, in his speeches in Midlothian, urges that the issue of the Irish question must be either coercion or a Dublin Parliament. He is bitterly personal towards the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr Chamberlain, and condemns Lord Hartington's scheme as having no finality.
The Marquis of Salisbury, in his Leeds speech, said that he would only coerce the criminals in Ireland. He was willing to concede local government not only to Ireland, but also to England and Scotland. He criticised what he called Mr Gladstone's maudlin optimism, and repudiated all coquetting with the Parnellite party.
The Times characterises Mr Gladstone's speech as a specimen of audacious quibbling, in the face of notorious facts, on the main issue.
The testimonial to Herr Schnadhurst, a prominent Liberal organiser, has reached nearly £10,000.
Armagh and Tryone have been "proclaimed."
The president of the Supreme Fenian Council in Great Britain insists on the separation of Ireland from England.
