Lord Bosebery and the Liberal Party.
HIS BESIGNATION.
(Pet Press Association.) London, October 8. Lord Rosebery, in a ietter to Mr Ellis, Stated thafc he resigned the leadership of the Liberal Part} . on the ground of an apparent differeacie with a considerable mass of the Liberals over the Eastern question. He had had some conflict of opinion with Mr Gladstone, who scarcely gave him explicit support anywhere. He was unwilling to divide the energies and try the faith of the Liberals, and desired his freedom before speaking at Edinburgh on Friday. The Daily News expresses profound astonishment at the National federation unanimousiv deciding that Lord Rose bery's line of reference to Armenia were wise, ana that Mr Gladstone's action was the cause of his resignation, it advises a vote of confidence to be carried, with the request that he shall resume unless Mr Gladstone should be willing to assnme the leadership. The 8 Chronicle is delighted at the trouble, and claims that Sir V. Harcourt should succeed to the leadership of the *^c Times states that Gladstone's efforts to fan Armenia is unbearable, and had a right to resign. The Standard considers the dispute leaves the cleavage as wide and deep as when the Unionists retired.
