To The Right Honourable W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P. Sir, In common with many thousands of Her Majesty s Xou rnest aitthentic subjects I have read your extraordinary letter addressed to Lord knowledge. de Vesci, inviting free communication of views from the various sections most likely to supply full and authentic knowledge of the wants and wishes of the I rish people ;and in common with some hundreds of them I have undertaken to comply with your request. A most astounding request it is. In the first place, it seems to imply an abdication on your part of the elementary functions of statesmanship. The business of a steersman is to steer, of a responsible politician to devise and carry out a policy. A gain, I should have thought that the proper, the constitutional source of full and authentic knowledge of the wants and wishes of the I rish people would have been the hundred-andodd representatives of the I rish constituencies duly elected a few weeks ago to serve in the Commons House of Parliament, and elected on a plan designed and arranged by yourself. But once more, the passage I have quoted contains an ambiguity from which few of your public utterances on the I rish Question are wholly free. The ambiguity lies in the term I rish people.
