LIBERAL UNIONIST COFERENCE
Lonodn, Sept. 20,
A great conference of Liberal-Union-ists is being held at Bradford, Lord Hartington was not able to attend, but wrote sympathising with the principles of the party, and expressing the opinion that the disorder and lawlessness so prevalent in Ireland were receiving increased support at the bands of allies in England, Lord Derby, in the course of his speech, ridiculed the idea of regarding punishment for resistance to lawful authority in the light of political martyrdom. Mr Chamberlain, in addressing the conference, declared that it was impossible to grasp Mr Gladstone’s policy, and that the Unionists were not prepared to accept any scheme for local self-government in Ireland at the hands of Mr Parnell. Mr Chamberlain averred that the present evictions in Ireland were not unjust, and that the resistance of tenants was merely theatrical display.
