The Gladstone Statue at West minster.

UsvEitßDjßY Sib Henby Campbell

Bannerman

Sir Henry Canopbell-Bannermann cnveiled on M.ay 19th last, the statue of Mr Gladstone, which Liberals throughout the country have subscribed to erect in the central hall of the Ileuses of Parliament, There was a large attendance of well-knowa Liberal?.

Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman ob served, at tfaa outset of his admirable little speech, no rasa stood leas in need o£ formal eulogy than Mr Gladstone. | They had come there, he observed, { for the purpose of installing on a central spot in the Houses of Parliament a memorial of one of the greatest P<*r- , Haraenfcmry figures of our time~(hear, hear) —and be was deeply honoured by hating been invited to discharge the formal duty of uaveiling the statue. He could conceive occaaions when anyone called upon to perform such a duty would be expected to say some words, perhaps a good many words, of explanation and justification, but there was never a case in which fewer words were required than on that occasion. (Hear, hear.) Mr Gladstone stood above the plane of elaborate and laboured eulogy. (Hear, hear) He occupied a position in the country and in Parliament which certainly entitled him to any honour they could pay to him. And who, asked Sir Henry, could be entitled to a permanent place amongst those commemorated within those walls if not he who from ear ieet manhood to old age expended bis great gift?, his marvellous intellectual and phyfcical power?, in the service of his Sovereign, his country, and mankind. (Oheert). Tne thoughts of those prasent aaturally reverted to the last. d*r when it waa in their power to do him honour. All that mortally remained of him rested for many hours in Westminster Hall, while thousands and thousands of his fellow countrymen of all ranka and conditions cams—not to witness a splendid and pompous ceremony—but eitoply to pa°s rever ently by the p!aoo where he lay. Precisely in proportion to the intimacy of the relations wit!) Mr Gladstone were the admiration and BSection with which he wns regarded while he lived, and with which he would be n-niem* bored now he was gont 1. There wa3 an indefinable tonoathtug about which raised him far abovo the ordinary category of men. Might that statue Band there at (he gate of the House of Commons showing that every passer bj, whether member, aspirant, student, or interested visitor only, the noble fi&ura and face of the great statesman ! Might it serve to instil into everyone something of thU exalted spirit of daty, of generosity, of devotion, and of rigbteousnesp, which in his lifetime radiated from Mr Gladstone. (Ap plaase.)

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman then applied himself dexterously to the sheet enfolding the statue, and cheers were raised again as the monu ment was disc'osed to view. By the admission of alt qua'ified to speak on the subject, Mr Pomeroy, the sculptor, haa caught the late statesman in an admirable pose, with hand uplifted in the act of speaking, and has secured at the same time a capital likeness. The statue measures eight feet in height, and has been cut from a flawless block of Carrara matble. There ia little doubt th it it will eventually come to be recognised as quite the huppiest of the four statues which now adorn the central hall.
