IMPERIAL POLITICS.

THE UNIONIST POLICY

By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrights (Doited Press Association.) London, March 19.

Mr Bonar Law addressed four thousand Unionist workers at Manchester. The incident of the Kendall (W estmorland) election was a passing one. The difficulty was that they could not fight one policy in one part of the country and another policy in another. Unless local associations were careful to select candidates supporting the official policy, the position was impossible. The Unionist’s duty was not to magnify differences. He denied that the compromise implied a sacrifice of principle to expediency.
