ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

AYLEBBURY.—Yeettrdny Mr. G. Howell issued
his address to the electors of Aylesbury. He says that the
attempt to dens the borough against a contest by an
arrangement to return unopposed the sitting members—a
tery and a liberal—is a grows violation of the spirit of our
electoral laws, and unjust to the great body of the elec-
tors. He is in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish
church, of the reform of the Reform Act, of the broadest
scheme of unsectarian education, of opening the uni-
versities to all classes, and creeds, of the equalisation of
poor rates, of an improved tenant right bill for English
farmers, and of the abolition of the game laws. He thinks
that in order that the question of capital and labour may
be fairly settled labour should be represented in parlia-
ment es well as capital. Mr. Howell say! he will take
active measures to pnntsh all offenders in the borough
against the Corrupt Practices at Elections Act.
BILIBIOL.—The third of the great soirees of the
Operatives' Liberal Association was held on Thursday
night, and the large ball was again crowded. flews
ecarees may be reckoned among the most sumewrful poli-
tical ever held in Bristol, and mad have been

generally.—resfern Doily Prat. A large and influential
meeting of annerwitives has been held in Bristol. at which
it was unanimously resolved to request Mr. John William
Miles, the late member, to come forward for the city in
the conservative interest.

DUMFRIES.—The rival candidates for Dumfries-
shire—Major Walker, M.P., and Sir Sidney H. Wateriow
—each addremed meetings on Thursday at Lockerbie
and Annan. At both places votes againd Major Walker
were carried, and at both places votes in favour of Sir
Sidney Watorlow were pawed with acclamation.
liecisrEv.—Last evening Mr. Reed addressed
an enthusiastic meeting at St. Thomas's-square school-
rooms—Mr. H. M. Heath in the chair, who spoke of Mr.
Reed as a gentleman who by his clear and earnest utter-
ances would, when in his place in the House of Commons,
command respect for the borough he represented. Mr. Reed
raid that the old borough of the Tower Hamlets had always
been a hearty old liberal constituency. He was glad of
the division of the borough. flt war long since they had had
a fair stand-up fight with the tories. They bad
welted until Col. Thompson came. He was satisfied that,
whoever came forward in the tory interest, liberals would
be returned. The present electies. would forever settle the
question as to whether Hackney was s liberal Loma=
not. In speaking of the House of Commons, Mr.
raid it was there that the purse of the torten war held and
the money of the people expended; it was therefore
important that the people should he fully and fairly re-
presented. We need business. men in the house, beiAuse
the question of questions was that of taxation. Men
must be elected who would follow in the steps of that sin-
cere and noble-hearted man, Mr. Gladstone, whoo
system of economy had in four years saved
fourteen millions of solid money. Mr. Reed then
alluded to the abolition of the church rates
—for which we had not to thank the torier. He said
it was imperative that the universities should relinquish
the thirty-nine articles as a test. Ireland had always been
an awkward question for the tortes, because their policy
had been one of repression—and unless justice were done
the result might be fearful—this was acknowledged by
Lord Stanley, of whom he had great hopes in the future
of this country. Mr. Reed's views upon these and other
important topics met with hearty approval, and the vote
of confidence proposed by Mr. W. N errev, supported by
Rev. B. H. Cowper, was carried by acclamation.
LAMBETH.—A third liberal candidate has en-
tered the field for this borough in the person of Mr.
R. D. M. Littler, of 1, Plowden-buildings, Temple, one
of the recently appointed revising barristers, standing
counsel to the -London and North NN ',stern Railway Com-
pany, and nephew of the late General Sir John Littler.
Yesterday, Mr. Littler issued his address to the cl.'ctors,
in which he states that he considers a vacancy has been
created in the borough by the retirement of Mr. Hughes,
whore political principles in all important particulars are
his own, and bad Mr. Hughes not retired, he should
never have thought of coming before the electors. Mr.
Littler is in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish
church, of a good land measure for Ireland, of religious
equality in the universities, of amendment of the Reform
Act, of vote
iby ballot and of compulsory education, if
necessary. He s unwilling to interfere by legislation with
the Sunday question, and he will independently sipped
the great party of which Mr. Gladstone is the brilliant
leader.
