(MELBOURNE AIM VS SPECIAL.) London, October 20. . Lord Salisbury met with an enthusiastic reception at Pomona Gardens, Manchester, on Saturday. Thirty thousand persons were present. He said the meeting proved the confidence of the country in the Ministry, despite the statements of the Opposition. The English papers approve Yakoob Khan’s resignation, and suggest that a successor be appointed, subject to the approval of the Viceroy. The Home and foreign Press strongly disapprove the new Turkish Ministry as being favorable to Russia. Mr. Childers, speaking at Pontefract, said the future policy of the Liberals, in the event of their taking office, would be to accept the responsibilities of the foreign policy of the present Ministry, but to apply Liberal principles to their action. The Liberals would decline to govern through an alliance with Home Rulers, but would favor extensive decentralisation, and especially the transfer of private Bill regulations affecting Ireland to Ireland itself, instead of being dealt with by a select committee iu Louden. .The Home and Foreign Press regard the speech as a Liberal manifesto, and comment favorably upon it.
