THE HOME RULE QUESTION.
MEETING OF UNIONIST LIBERALS. [REUTER’S TBI.EOB.A MS —COPYRIGHT. ] London, December 8. A Conference ol Unionist Liberals was held yesterday, many distinguished statesmen being present, Lord Hartington delivered a lengthy speech on the present aspect of political affairs. He declared that Mr Gladstone and Sir William Vernon Harcourt in recent speeches had completely ignored the views of Unionist Liberals, who would, therefore, continue to support the Conservative party. He foresaw that a final conflict will take place between order and disorder before the Irish Question would be definitely settled. It was imperative that the present agitation for non-payment of rents should be resisted to the utmost. Resolutions were passed in favor of upholding the union between Great Britain and Ireland. A letter was read from Mr John Bright, in which that gentleman condemned Mr Gladstone’s silence in view of Mr Dillon’s agitation in Ireland.
