7 ROSEBERY’S PASSNG
The Resignation of the Liberal Leader
Came as a. Surprise.
HARGOURT To success HIM.
DIVerse Views of the Situation Expressed
by the Leading British Newspapers.
Comment In the Main Favors ,
Lord Rosebery.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.—Among the Dillonites
there is general resentment on account of
Lord Rosebery’s resignation of the leader-
ship of the Liberal party without consult-
ing them. A
"' The Inde endent says that he did so
“withouta bought for home rule” and
adds: “If Sir William Harcourt succeeds
him, the condition of Irish affairs will be
worse than ever. Harcourt can never be
trusted by any Irishman.”
_ Opinion In London.
LONDON, Oct. 9.—The Star, touching
upon the resignation of Lord Rosebery,
says: “Lord Rosebery’s fall was dramatic
' and tragic. The hand which raised him up
pulled him down. One result of Lord
Rosebery’s reign is that it may be predict-
ed that the Liberals qu never again be
led by a peer. ”
T. P. O’Copnor, in The Sun, says:
”The truth is that Lord Rosebery never
had a chance. He made many mistakes,
LORD ROSEBERY.
and his language on the Irish question
was especially open to grave disapproval;
but, all the some, he did not get a chance.
The situation is grave. If Mr. Gladstone’s
return is impossible, if popular opinion
will not form for Lord Rosebery to return,
the choice must lie between Harcourt and
yorley. My preference is for Morley, as
e is more intimately associated with
home rule.”
Praise For Rosebery.
The Evening News says: “Lord Rose-
bery has‘ played theman. He declines to
lead a party the rag, tag and bobtail of
which were always barking at his-heels.
Sheer ignorance has betrayed the Radical
rump into the bog in which it .is at pres-
ent wallowing,” ’
The Echo says: “Lord Rosebery through-
out has taken a common sense view of the
eastern and western situation, while the
other Liberal leaders have taken narrower
and more emotional views. Lord Rose-
ber'y’s resignation will strengthen Lord
Salisbury. ” .
The Dublin Freeman’s Journal says:
“Lord Rosebery daily gave striking proof
that his views of the foreign policy differed
from those of his party. His retirement is
not a surprise. It is his arrival on the
road toward which he has long been trav-
cling.”
The Daily Chronicle, which has always
opposed Lord Roscbery’s leadership, con-
tends that the general tone of the Liberal
policy as regards the east is not represent-
ed by Lord Rosebery. The Chronicle pays
a high tribute to his honesty and says
that it recognizes his high qualities, but
accepts his decision.
The Chronicle adds that the immediate
duty of the Liberals and Radicals is clear.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt should suc-
ceed Lord Rosebery by unquestioned and
unquestionable right of service. The arti-
cle concludes with an expression of joy at
the prospect of strength and coherence
which opens for the first time since Mr.
Gladstone’s retirement.
The Conservative press contends that
Lord Rosebery’s resignation of the Liberal
leadership will increase the division in the
ranks of the party. All of the papers pay
a tribute to the strength of his foreign
policy.
The imes says: “It will not be neces-
sary to appeal to the party to select a new
leader. Sir William Vernon Harcourt is
already in possession as undisputed chief
in the house of commons.”
Resignation Unexpected.
In the political clubs it was not expected
that Lord Rosebery would resign the lead-
ership of his party at present, despite the
agitation against him. The advanced
Liberals desire a more progressive and ag-
gressive policy, though a large section of
the party approves Lord Rosebery’s cool-
ness in a time of feverish excitement.
Many Liberal'members of the house of
commons telegraphed to the officers of the
Liberal party in Westminster today asking
for information in regard to Lord Rose-
bery’s withdarwal and received the reply
that the ex—premier’s letter of resignation
was wholly unexpected, not even Mr. El-
lis, the Liberal whip, 'to whom the letter
was addressed, having had a hint that it
was impending.
The resignation of Lord Rosebery is the
sole topic of discussion in the Reform and
National Liberal clubs. where it is as-
sumed that Sir William Harcourt will sue.
ceed to the party leadership, though many
of the rank and file say that that will not
solve the situation. {These persons predict
that within a few years the progressive
opinion of the country will compel the
present Liberal leaders to go with their
hats in their hands to Mr. Chamberlain
and accept his leadership upon his own
terms.

McKinley, age 53, 725 North Market street,
born in Ohio, moved to present house Jan-
uary, 1896, but has voted in this precinct
for five years.” This was the entry Clerks
MoRoberts and Plunkard, made on the
registration record of precinct B, First
ward, today. Major McKinley drove to
the polls in the one horse family carriage
with Mrs. McKinley and friends at an
early hour. He took the first opportunity
to get away from his house before today’s
delegations began to arrive. His step was
elastic and his . face glowed with good
.health as he hastily stepped into the pre-
oinct headquarters and pleasantly awaited
his turn to register after several workmen
and clerks 'He wrote his name, William
McKinley, in full, as required on the regis-
tration books, instead of abbreviating the
William, as usual.

arrived at 11:45, bearing a delegation
from the United Italian Republican club
of Pittsburg. They were accompanied by
a band and made a very enthusiastic dem-
onstration on the lawn in front of the Mo-
Kinley home. The introduction was made
by Lewis Begglno. The delegation was
then addressed by Major McKinley.
The Georgia Election.
ATLANTA, Oct. 9.—Returns from 37 out
of 137 counties received here from yester-
day’s state election show a Democratic
gain over 1894 of more than 6,000. As this
ratio the plurality of W. Y. Atkinson,
Dem., for governor would be more than
47,000. .
Returns from this (Fulton) county, with
one ward missing, give Atkinson a major-
ity of‘866. it is estimated that the major-
ity complete will be 1,100.
A. E. Buck, chairman state Republican
committee, said today: ”Atkinson’s large
majority is due to the prohibition plank
in the Populist platform. The governor
won the negro vote by his efforts to sup-
press lynching. The result has no signifi-
cance nationally.”
The vote of the state in recent elections
has been as follows, the Republicans hav-
ing no candidate for governor:

county Republican convention has nomi-
nated a county ticket and candidates 1501
the legislature. The county furnishes
nearly one-third of the members of the
legislature. and the action may have an
important bearing on,the choice of the
next United States senator. The follow-
ing resolution was adopted: “We main-
tain that the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of .16 to 1, independent of the mac
tion of any foreign nation, is a political
issue paramount to all others and second
only to the issue of protection of home in-
dustry coupled with reciprocity with for-
eign nations. We pledge our legislative
candidates to strictly maintain these prin-
ciples, to vote for a candidate for United
States senator only who will declare him-
self in full accord with these principles.”

Walter M. Costle’s arrest in London for
alleged shoplifting was received by mer-

indignation, and visitors from all over the
city flocked to Castle Bros.’ store with
offers of assistance. Albert and Arthur
Castle received a‘cablegram from Michael
Abrahams, an attorney and relative of the
Castles, advising them to get every aid
from the state department and to send on
proofs of the honesty and integrity of Wal-
ter Castle. ' The result was that cable dis-
patches were sent to London all day long.

sible to secure Castle’s release.

ish consul at this place and afterward at
New York, is now in this city on a visit.
He is well acquainted with, the Castle
family and has known Walter since the
la‘tter’s boyhood. He sent a long cable dis-
patch to London. The chamber of com-
merce also cabled United States Minister
Bayard in Castle’s behalf. The firm of
Chalmers, Guthrie &. 00., codes importers
of London,cabled the Castle brothers here
that everything possible was being done
for Mr. and Mrs. Castle.

sent was that of Governor Budd to the
American embassy at London, United
States Minister Bayard and Patrick Col-
lins, United States consul general at Lon-
don and read as follows:
“I vouch for the respectability and high
standing of Walter Castle and family. citi-
zens of this state, arrested in London, and
request your best offices in their behalf.”
