HATRED OF MR GLADSTONE.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—l have been reading the letter of "E. 8." to the "Star" re Dr. Bakewell's hatred of Mr Gladstone, and wish you to allow mc space for a few remarks. I am very sorry for Archdeacon Deniston being so badly treated, and think it a shame a man cannot in a free country— so-called—express his opinion of a politician without having to pay two hundred pounds. But Archdeacon Deniston was not alone and Dr. Bakewell is not alone in disliking Mr Gladstone. How often you hear it said that he was not a sound politician. Be that as it may. a greater man than Archdeacon Deniston has expressed an opinion on Gladstone, and not a flattering one either. Thomas Carlyle, a countryman of his, loved truth and justice for its own sake, and when he heard that Gladstone had thrown over the Protestants in Ulßter, in order to catch the Irish Catholics' vote, said: "He was as hollow as a blown goose egg."—l am, etc., VERITAS.
