ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

bunt El.— Mr. 11. li. Tiheridan, M.P., has inti-
mated, by letter, to a gentleman in Dudley, his intention
of again soliciting the suffrages of the electors at the forth-
coming election. It is not probable, however, that any
immediate steps will be taken by Mr. Sheridan.
Flicsitrair.—Last night a special meeting of
the Holborn branch of the Reform 'League was held for the
purpose of drawing up an address to the electors of Fins-
bury. Mr. Galbraith, who occupied the chair, said it
should be known that neither the Reform League nor the
Holborn branch of that body had anything whatever to
do with the invitation to Mr. G. W. M. Reynolds to
become a candidate for the representation of the borough.
The following resolution was then pained :—" That the
Holborn branch of the Reform League are prepared to
support the present members for Finsbury (Mr. Alderman
Lea and Mr. Torrens), and they deem it unadvaable to
bring forward any candidate who might create discord
amongst the liberal party." It was alsoagreed that an addreee
to the electors should be at once drawn up and circulated.
Mr. Reynolds has sent the following letter to the secre-
tary of the Democratic League :—" No. 41, Woburn-
square, July 29, 1868.—My dear Sir,—l feel highly flat-
tered by the pomade bythe Democratic League, and
confirmed by üblic meeting, that I should come
forward as afor the representation of Finsbury.
With pride and pleasure should I accept the invitation, bat
. I understand that there is a division amongst the leaders of
the working classes in the borough, and that while some
would give their support to me, others have already
pledged themselves irrevocably to the sitting members,
Messrs. Lusk and Torrence I have, however,
been gratified by the assurance that, if promises
bad not been already given, the party so pledged would
have most assuredly used all their influence on my behalf.
However, in these circumstances, I feel it would be wrong
for me to accept a candidature which might have the
effect of dangerous! dividing the liberal interest, and
which would y tend to embitter one section of
the working classes against another. I am therefore pain-
fully compelled to decline the invitation so flatteringly
conveyed to me, and of which I shall ever cherish.' grate-
ful recollection. As I have received some other requisi-
tions to stand forward at the approaching election, I hope
that I shall yet represent the working-dma interest m
the and parliament remain, my dear sir, yours very
faithfully, Gionoa W. M. Ramon:vs."
KENDAL.—The electors of this borough have
acted promptly. On being informed by Mr. G. C. Glyn,
M.P., that he should not seek to be re-elected, a com-
mittee of one hundred electors was forthwith appointed.
This body at once ascertained the wishes of the electors
by receiving signatures to a requisition to the mayor, Mr.
Whitwell, to fill the vacancy to arise. On Monday night
a public meeting was held, Mr. James Edmondson in the
chair, and the requisition was presented to, and accepted
by, Mr. Whitwell with much cheering. The conetitiency
now numbers 1.866 electors, including 450 tan-pound
householders ; both sections comprise a large mijorfty of
liberals. Of the 1,750 who might come to the poll Mr.
Whitwell has 1.345 requisitionist" and between one and
two hundred additional promises. This mode of pre-
settling an election is prompt and praiseworthy.
POIiTEFRACT.-31r. George Wilson, of Man-
chester. 111$8 been invited to be the liberal wind/late, in
conjunction with Mr. Childers.
Fount Llamas nrxx.—Mr. Gladstone is ex-
pected in Liverpool next week, and it is stated that he
will at once commence his electioneering campaign in
South Lancashire.
WESTMIXSTER.—A meeting of electors of the
city of Westminster was held last night at the Black
Swan, Ryder's-court, Newport-market, Mr. Leno in the
chair, in support of the return of the Hon. R. W.
Grosvenor and Mr. J. 8. Mill. The chairman said that:the
manner in which Mr. Smith's committee were working in
that gentleman's interest made it incumbent en every
liberal elector of Westminster to redeable his exertions
for the return of the present members. Mr. Jas. Henley
moved, Mr. Serle seconded, and it was carried:—
"That we, members of St. Ann's Electoral dissociation,
pledge ourselves to use every constitutional means in our
power to secure the return to Parliament of the. on. R.
W. Grosvenor and John Stuart Mill, Esq." Mr. Arm.
stead moved, Mr. Benny seconded, and it was carried :
" That seeing the unscrupulous means being employed by
Mr Smith's committee to secure that gentleman a return,
weccall upon every lodger to come forward and enrol
himself on the electoral roll." An unpaid house tc house
canvass was then decided on for St. Ann's district, 10
volm.teers having offered their services.
