endow a catholic university, and otherwise to pursue a
policy of "elevation." He thought that,' with regard to
the property of the Irish church, the church should be
generously dealt with. He was opposed to a rating sys-
tem of education. and also to the ballot. A resolution

NORTH KIDING.—our. k. R. Cayley, the new in-
(ident candidate, is making a tour of the towns and
polling-places, by invitation of the leading ratepayers.
r. Cayley is endeavouring. to stir into life action the
"Independent party of agriculture" which returned his
father to parliament for :to years, and which, though
dispersed, hut re-unit:ng. Cayley holds—strong
enough to return him now. Mr. Cayley holds the
doctrine "That those who find the money have a
right to say how it shall lie spent." In this view
he goes in for financial hoards in counties at which the
ratepayers shall have an equal voice with the magistrates,
and strongly advocates' a Metropolitan Foreign Cattle
Market as the only safeguard to the home stock breeder,
and condemns Mr. Gladstone and the liberal party for the
part they have taken in shelving the bill. The proposed
disendowment of the Irish church he regards as dishonest,
and a mere subterfuge of Mr. Gladstone in opposition,
who in office was the orthodox of orthodox. _

NORWICII.—A meeting of the advanced section
of the liberals of Norwich was held on Wednesday night,
the mayor (Mr. J. J. Colman) in the chair, to consider the

resolutions approving its former choice of Mr. J.
lett, and further pledged itself to promote his triumphal
return; at the sense time readiness was expressed to co-
operate with equal cordiality in the return of any other
good liberal who might be selected. It was stated that
guarantees to the amount of upwards of 1,0001. had been
given to meet the expense to which Mr. Tillstt might be
put as a candidate.
TOWER ILutt.Ers.—Mr. Ayrton has issued an
address to the electors of the Tower Hamlets, which he
has so long represented, offering himself for re-election.
He has selected that part of the borough which still re-
tains the old name, his colleague, Mr. Butler, choosing
that part of the borough which, under the name of Hack-
ney, will in future return two members under the New
Reform Act.

Yoto Weguelin, who opposes Sir
Joseph 'Kenna in Yonghal, has visited the borough, and
been received with great enthusiasm. There was a de-
monstration at the railway station, and Mr. Weguelin was
escorted to the town by a numerous and respectable as-
sembly, preceded by musical bands and lighted tar barrels.
Mr. Weguclin subsequently addressed a meeting of the
liberal electors, enunciating broad liberal principles, in-
cluding the abolition of the church establishment, and
thorough support of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. He
was unanimously adopted as the liberal candidate. There
is a strong feeling against Sir Joseph M'Kenna, who is
supported by the parish priest and the conservatives.
