Excerpt from The Home Rule Bill Even then he desired to do a good work for Ireland and Home Rule, and wished that his successor in the Premiership should be Lord Spencer. In this again he was over-ruled, and Lord Rosebery became the next Prime Minister. For two miserable years the Liberal Government dragged on an ignoble existence, ploughing the sands, to use Mr. Asquith's pregnant phrase. The Newcastle Programme was proceeded with, and what was called the policy of filling the cup was adopted by the Liberal Party, with the result that Home Rule almost entirely disappeared in the whirlpool created by a multitude of questions which excited the most vehement Opposition throughout the country. A dry-rot set in in the Liberal Party, and when the General Election finally came in 1895 it was not in any sense fought on the issue of Home Rule; and therefore the defeat of the Government in 1895 cannot with any measure of truth be regarded as a defeat of Home Rule.
