TYNDALL'S DENUNCIATION OF GLADSTONE.
John Tyndall, scientist, declined by letter to stand as candidate for Renfrewshire in the Liberal interest. His letter was published on November 6th. The Conservatives distributed copies. Mr Tyndall said the permanent atmosphere of the House would nofc suit him. He. belongs to no party, bub if the House permits its members to speak by special knowledge when they had anything profitable to say, he would willingly accept an election to that class. He proceeds to denounce the Gladstone Cabinet, which he says headed by unstable rulers, has caused five years of humiliation abroad and confusion at Home. Recalling events in Transvaal and Soudan, Mf Tyndall says, "If there be a day of retribution for the misdeeds of men, I would not willingly accompany to the judgment seat the unpurged spirits of those who are responsible for the bloodshed in the Soudan. It was a damning and a damnable business from end to end, yet the man who is responsible above all others for this waste of blood, who sent Gordon to the wilds and there abandoned him to death, now dares to talk to the people of Midlothian as if no fleck rested upon. his workmanship."
