PRICIc.... ..... . . 4d. ST, m pED PROGRESS OF -ELECTIONS. John M. Palmer, the Republican candidate for Governor of Illin is, has a good reputation as a soldier and as an officer of ability ; and John Doherty, who aspire 3 to be Lieutenant-Governor, though known before the war as the Democratic " war-horse of Egypt," is now in the Repullican tanks. John A. Logan is Republican can did a t e for Congressman at large. Norman B. Judd, the friend of Lincoln, and once Minister to Berlin, hopes for re-election for the first dis trict. General John F. Farnsworth is the calif dilate for the second district. He left the House of Representatives when the war broke out, and raised and commanded the Bth Illinois Cavalry. Elihu B. Washburne, of Galena, Grant's home, goes in for the tithe' district. his friendship for his neighbour, the coming President, is well known. General John B. Hawley runs for the fourth dis trict ; for the fifth the present incumbent, E. C. Ingersoll, expects to be re-elected, as he has been thrice before; and so does Benton C. Cooke, of Ottawa, for the sixth district, where he has twice been successful. The Republican candidate for the seventh district is Jesse H. Moore, of Decatur, who rose from the ranks to the grade of General during the War. Shelby H. Cullom, of Spring field, contests the Eighth District for the third time. He was speaker of the State Assembly, and is an energetic party man.. Leopard F. Ross con tests the Ninth District, with his brother Lewis Ross, the present member, and the Democratic candidate, but with little hope of success. Jona than B. Turner, of Jacksonville, a scientific farmer, runs against A. G. Burr, the Democratic candidate and present member, but without a shadow of a chance. For the Eleventh District James M. Martin, of . Salem, strives against Mr. Mar shall, the Democratic nominee, and present member, who is pretty sure of re-election. John B.

Many of them are now the members for their districts ; three of the 13 are considered by the Deniocrats as certainly theirs, and are con ceded by the Republicans. But the State will, be yond doubt, go strongly Republican, the more so as it is Grant's own State. Although the Democrats have not the faintest hope of carrying the State, they do hope toleAsen thefor - mer Republican majority. In 1864 Lincoln's majority was 30,766 ; in 1866 Gen. Logan waselectedCongressman at large by a ma- jori - ty of 55,987, defeat:lnc , Colonel Dickey that number in a total vote of 350,103. Although the Republicans are sanguine, estimating their majo rity at from 40,000 to 50,000, it is not likely to am - omit to zilch a number as in the election of 1866 Last year lowa elected the Republican candidate, Colonel Merrill, Governor, by 30,000 majority. In ber Presidential elections she gave 8,000 of a majority for Fremont in 1856, and 40,000 for Lincoln, w in 1864. General Williamson, the dele gate who cast the vote of lowa at the Chi cago Convention, for General Grant promised a majority of 50,000, which, although then con sidered extravagant, is now said, by sanguine Re publicans not to be so. The question of impartial suffrage comes before the people this year for settlement. The last two General Assemblies hav ing affirmatively pissed upon the subject, the matter will now, be decided by a popular vote up on a n amendmeht to the Constitution proposing to strike the word " white" therefrom wherever it occurs in relation to suffrage, and will unquestionably be carried. The election will not be held till Nov. 3, and it is thought that there will be 200,000 votes polled for the presidential tickets. The Republicans count on gaining Michigan, which last year was divided on local and side issues, and they announce that harmony bas been restored, and the vote will be heavy for Grant, Senator Doolittle has been working effectively in the Democratic interest in Wiscon - sin. In Delaware the campaign is active, and the Republicans even flatter themselves that there is a prospect of electing General Torbet to Congress. They state that the Democrats are divided between the Bayard and the Salisbury par ties, and that if they split the State may be carried for Grant. Colorado has elected a Republican de legate to Congress by a majority of 100, which would have been greater but for the fight caused by the Indian raids. In New York city the elec tion districts have been increased to 340, so that there will be no lack of opportunity to vote. It is estimated that the city will throw about 130,000 votes. Of these the Republicans claim 45,000, giv ing the Democrats a majority of 40,000. The Democrats estimate the Republican vote at less than 25,000, and expect a majority of 75,000 or more. In North Carolina many white Republicans are at work for Grant and Colfax, which is believed to be due more to a revival of the ancient enmity between old Whigs and Democrats than to any love of the Republican platform. The State, it is thought, may go Republican. Even Connecticut is said now to be inclining towards Republicanism. Town ship elections were to be held on the sth inst., but as these come off beforethe great events on the 13th they will probably not clearly indicate what the State will do when the main contest is decided. The Massachusetts Republicans have nominated for members of Congress, Messrs. Dawes, Twichell, Butler, and Banks, in the tenth, third, fifth, and sixth districts respectively, and all will probably be re-elected. The candidate for Presidential elector in the tenth district is M. B. Whitney, of Westfield; in the third, William Whiting, of Boston ; in the fifth, James M. Buffum, of Lynn ; and in the sixth, George Coggswell, of Bradford.. The Irishmen of the fifth Congressional district of New York City have brought forward George Francis Train as their representative to run against John Morrissey. Patrick Crowe being elected chair man, addressed the meeting at the Botanic Hall, No. 68, East Broadway, and said, "It was an au spicious day for the country to put forward such a man as Train, under whose lead the Irish would soon be freed from the hated English rule." Gen. Nagle, on entering, was loudly cheered. He said he would be ungrateful not to support his old friend Train, through whose influence he had been libe rated from an Irish Prison. Train was ahead of the times and of all politicians. It was he who conceived the idea of the Pacific Railway ; it was he who invented the greenback theory which politicians had stolen from him. He is the same man at six in the morning and at midnight, and I hope to see this meeting put through his nomination. Senator Bradley endeavoured to oppose Train's nomination, but failed to obtain a hearing. Resolutions were adopted advocating the nomination of George F. Train as a friend of the people, as opposed to taxa tion, as an adherent of the Irish nation, as inte rested in the great Pacific Railroad. A letter was received from Stephen J. Meany, indorsing the nomination of Mr. Train. It was moved and car ried that a Train Club be formed and a roll opened. The Soldiers and Sailors' Convention in Philadel phia, on Friday, Oct. 2, was one of the grandest affairs ever seen even in that great city. Fully 20,000 soldiers marched in a column five miles long with martial music, beneath flags riddled in battle. Chesnut, Walnut, Arch, Broad, and Market streets were lined with myriads. Burnside, Kilpatrick, Owen, ;Geary, Sickles, Hawley, Howard, Cham berlain, and many more well-known officers were there. There were meetings of governors and ex governors ; .banquet at the Union League ; torch light processions, serenades, and as for speeches ! there never were such speeches. Altogether the affair was a great success.

A MORNING and EVENING DRAUGHT. LAMPLOUGUTS PYRETIC SALINE is most agreeable and efficacious, preventing and curing fevers, skin complaints, and inflammation. It instantly relieves the most intense head ache and thirst, and if given with limo-juice syrup is a specific in gout and rheumatism.-113, Holborn-hill, London, E.C. Mr. Gladstone is still hard at work. - On Wednesday he addressed two meetings —one at Ormskirk, the other at Southport. The Irish Church formed the subject of the bulk of his first speech. He prefaced it, however, with reference to county financial arrangements. He thought the time was come for a change in the law. " Ourlaw with respect to local rates and expenditure is, like many other of our laws, far from being symmetrical or scientific in its construction. . . The persons who administer the rates are the magistrates of the county, in the choice of whom the ratepayer has no share or part whatever. Now, gentlemen, I own that I am of opinion that representation in all these matters of expenditure is a good and sound principle. It is the old principle of our Constitution generally, both imperial and local. lam friendly, not because there is no clamour on the subject, but I am friendly because it would give a control to the ratepayers in the choice of their representatives over the expenditure of the rates by those who pay them. It implies no disparagement of those who have exercised their discretion, but I believe the operation would be good, and would tend to enlighten the public mind on some difficult and threatening ques tions that arc coming forward as to the relation between the local and the imperial expenditures and the expe diency of throwing the localrates upon the public treasury." Mr. Gladstone's remarks on the Irish Church occupy nearly three columns. He repeated the old, old argu ments, and added little that was new. One passage is worth noting: "The very object of every champion of the Church of Ireland is this, and the first words that proceed from his lips are these : 'Forget the past.' He cannot, he dare not, open . her previous history. She has been heart and part in all the worst and most shameful Matters of English policy towards Ireland. When the penal laws were passed the Irish bishops were in the House of Lords passing those penal laws. Then remember the tithe war, when the people were shot down for the collection of dues, which were indeed to be legally exacted, but which were to go to the ministers of an alien religion. Is it possible you can venture to call up these recollections? No. You are compelled to exclude the whole of the past from the case of the Church of Ireland in order to be able to argue for it at all." At the second meeting, in the evening, at Southport, the topics which the right hon. gentleman touched upon were the expenditure, and again the Irish Church. On the former subject he repeated the arguments over again which he used at Leigh. "We have had much controversy during the election," said he, " upon the subject of finance, a controversy which I did my best to light up by a charge of a specific and definite nature. I was so far successful in the object I have in view that a correspondence beganbetween Mr. Cross, the Conservative candidate for the county, and her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer, of which we were permitted to see the results in the public prints. Thereupon I endeavoured to supply Mr. Cross, at a meet ing at Warrington last week, with fresh matter for a further correspondence, and my belief is, although I cannot tell you as a matter of fact, that further correspondence has been actively prosecuted, but that it has been thought Letter not to put the results in the newspapers." On the question of the Irish Church, too, little, if anything, new was adduced. Mr. Gladstone managed to keep his hearers interested for an hour and ten minutes. MR. GRANT DUFF AT ELGIN; Mr. Grant Duff delivered his annual address at Elgin on Wednesday evening. Eleven years ago the consti tuency returned him to Parliament. " Those eleven years had been filled with momentous events, and would occupy a far greater space on the canvas of history than many a placid and unfruitful century. Eleven years aio Italy was still groaning under the dukes and the Bourbons.' Spain had just stepped back into the posi tion she occupied before the Liberal movement of 1854. Serfdom still lay like a black cloud over European Russia, and men were still speculating timidly and doubtfully as to the possible abolition of slavery at some far-off and millennial period in the United States of North America. The Germanic Diet still droned on at Frankfort, weaving one Thursday, to unweave the next, its ever lasting Penelope's web. Hungary was still brooding in gloomy isolation over the blood of 1819 and the heaped•up wrongs of generations; while Austria, crushed by the combined weight of military and priestly despotism, was still, in the words of her great political poet, asking with bated breath the freedom to be free.' These were but a few of the ancient injustices and venerable impositions which the year 1857 left still standing when he breathed his last, and of which we might now happily say, `Gone is gone, dead is dead.' Great changes had occurred in this country also, but they had rather been changes in public opinion, ominous of future legislative change, than changes recognised and perfected through the parlia mentary agency by which this nation set its seal to the changes for which it had become prepared." With a reference to the Reform question, which he was glad to say was so far settled, Mr. Duff passed to a personal criticism of Mr. Bright. He alluded to the alteration of the position of that gentleman. Fur many years he had stood in very peculiar relations to suc cessive Liberal Governments; sometimes he Lad been a buttress, sometimes a battering ram. He had generally been more important than any three ordinary Cabinet Ministers, but his place had always been apart, and bis support dependent on Ministerial good behaviour. We had been accustomed to think that our great tribune would rather lower himself by taking office. Now, however, the situation was changed ; we could not think what a post- Niagara Liberal Cabinet would be without Mr. Bright, and one could not help seeing from a certain alteration in his way of putting things that the shadows of coming Minis terial responsibility were falling athwart his mind. Doubters told us that he would injure his reputation—that he was no administrator. He was not an administrator, of that eminently respectable class who came and went without much comment. He was a statesman. It was the first characteristic of a statesman to have a faculty of being right in great matters, and had not Mr. Bright been right about most of those things as to which nearly all of the so-called eminent heads were for years hopelessly wrong— right about free trade, right about America, and right about Reform? Among all the sayings and inditings of our official statesmen since 1832, excepting, perhaps, those of Sir George Lewis, what was there to compare with the two volumes of speeches by Mr. Bright, and the two volumes of pamphlets by Mr. Cobden? Mr. Bright, for instance, had been right on the question of the Irish Church. On the educational question, Mr. Duff remarked that he wished the English universities to be made more like the Scotch, in the way of being free, than they were at present. Passing to the expenditure, Mr. Grant Duff declared that what we now wanted was to bring into power, and keep in power, Ministers with whom economy was a paramount consideration. The Civil Service Estimates, although they required watching, were not seriously to be complained of. It was the fearful expense of the so-called great services—the army and navy—which, in the words of the poet, made the Titan stagger under "the too vast orb of his fate." Was this expense to go on for ever? If not, then some one must take the initiative in bringing about a change ; and it was this country, which feared nobody and menaced nobody, that must take the first step. If once Europe saw that France and England had seriously entered upon a reduction of armaments, a proposal for a Congres3 to discuss the amount of force which each State should keep up would meet with few difficulties. He advocated partial disarmament. very strongly. We must reduce the expenses of our colo nial army. Take the case of the Australian colonies. We kept there, for purely colonial purposes, three British regiments ; partly at our expense, partly at that of the colonies. Why did 'we do this? What enemy did we !ear? Or did we desire to retain our connection with them an hour longer than th©y wished to retain their connection with us? He trusted the time would soon come when we should only keep garrisons in those smaller de pendencies which we held rather as points of vantage and stepping-stones across the great oceanic spaces than as colo nies in the ordinary sense of the term. He had always thought that the question of army reform would obtain a more direct impetus than any other from the enlarge ment of the constituencies. He sincerely hoped that it was so, and nothing would give him greater pleasure than to find that soldiers' grievances were beginning to be forced on the consideration of candidates and members. We must change the present system in the army, so that it should be " neither more aristocratic nor democratic than any other part of society." Purchase must be abolished. As to our foreign policy, he was a friendto non-intervention, properly understood, but maintained that non-intervention was but half our lesson, and that international co-operation was the other half of it. With increasing knowledge of foreign affairs would come an increased disinclination to hamper ourselves with entangling alliances, or to allow our policy to be guided by feeling and enthusiasm, however gene. rous. Long before our policy had become thoroughly pervaded by an international spirit, the more candid of our foreign critics would see the direction things were taking—that Albion could no longer be called perfidious, even by her bitterest enemies. He detested what had been calledwell the natural tl e impulse"bloody onf a eddmlesa of e spiri t was to go, as n of those d a y s the old song had it, "to fight the foreign loons in their ain countrce." He should like to see the Foreign Office and the two services which depended upon it—: the diplomatic and the consular—used every day more and more as an instrument for receiving all the informa tion that could be obtained with regard to the state of foreign countries, and reflecting the knowledge so acquired in a broad and steady light all over the United Kingdom. Unquestionably our Foreign Office had done of late years much more in this way than it used to do, but he was con fident that greater encouragement might stimulate our existing consular and diplomatic peiyants to greater exertions.
