A CONSERVATIVE SPEECH.

LONDON, April 9. Lord Lansdowne, speakjng at the Conservative Club, declared' that tho Government's Bills were tainted . with the spirit of vindictiveness and were opposed to the general well-being. The Government's financial policy, he said, was likely to bring; it to serioxis grief. He hoped Ministers would learn from the recent bye-elections of the country's disillusionment. A new Government of Unionists would have a great chance, if the Unionists were willing to deal with the education and th© temperance questions on moderate and reasonable lines, and if they were ready to examine carofully and 'not obstructively any of the proposals conceived in a just. and moderate spirit.
