LONDON, Oct. A new and mos
important political alliance has beer
effected between section of the leaders
of the Conservative patty and the rep
resentative men of the trades-union;
and working classes. The men who
have brought about this alliance,
which has been perfected to-day, after
: negotiations extending through several
weeks, are fifteen of the most wealthy
and influential Conservativs, peers, bar
onets, and members OF Parliament, and
an equal numper of the leaders of the
trades-u unions and other workingmen S
organizations Among the former are
the Marquis of Salisbury, the Duke OF
Richmond, Sir Stafford Northcote, Sir
John Pakington, and Lord Lindsay
4 and among the latter are Mr..
Applegrath, late Secretary of
/ the Amalgamated Carpenters Mr..
Allan, President of the Amalgamated
Engineers Mr. Guile, Mr. Howell,
etc. The two parties were first brought
together by Mr.. Scott Russell, the
builder of the Great Eastern. The
basis of the alliance is an agreement
that at the next session of Parliament
/ there shall be introduced into the
/ House of Lords, not in the Commons,
an elaborate scheme for the repeal of
the existing land laws, the nationaliza-
1 ton of the land to certain extent, and
! other similar reforms; and that this
measure shall be pushed forward upon
/ the government with the whole strength

ty which can be induced to join
/ the movement. This scheme is one
drawn up by the q fifteen
representatives of the working
classes, and approved by the fifteen
Conservative leaders. The latter said
to the former, estate plainly what you
want and what in your opinion will
satisfy the people; we will examine it,
and If we can approve it we pledge our
1 word to bring forward your scheme and
support it with all our strength" This
was done the scheme drawn up, which
contains seven points, was examined
and approved; and the alliance was
finally. effected to day, the contract be-
ing actually signed and delivered 1t
| is understood that Lord Derby and
Mr.. Disraeli are both privy to the al
lance, the former approving and the
latter waiting to see how it may turn
out. The working mems representa-
! tives were for a while fearful that
some trap had been spread for them,
and that, upon the alliance becoming
known, they will be accused of having
sold themselves to the Tories But
these objections were all overcome, and
energetic and extensiyes measures have
been planned for organizing through
out the kingdom the necessary support
for the new party. One of the Lords,
in the course of the negotiation, ex-
claimed "You say we may be actu-
ated by selfish motives We confess it;
if we don't make friends with you, you
and yours may take all we have; but
if we make friends with you, you may.
Ebe willing to leave us half" The form
alton of the new party can not fail to
have an immediate and powerful effect
upon English politics, and may lead to
| the disorganization of the existing Lib
eral party. ~lEa. Igd5s c# O.
ENabAND's FIRST PRESIDENT .s
LONDON, October, 5-Who do you
suppose is to be the first president of

upon the death of Queen Victoria [
give you three guesses.f Is it Brad
klaugh2 No. Odger No. Karl Marx?
/ No. You will have to give it up. Well,
then, the coming man is none other
than SIR Charles Dixie, at present mem
| Der of Parliament for Chelsea. I get
my news from a very good quarter
from no less a parsonage, in fact, than
/ the permanent secretary OF a great po-
4 litical association. sSir Charles Dixie
is the man, sir, said the secretary to
me, with great earnestness, she is the
man 1t is all arranged and
well understood He is a
4 very liberal gentleman he has
! been of immense service to- the cause;
The is always ready with his money as
! we'll as his advice, and there IS no one
! early days of the infant republic. F" This
hint about the money let some light in
/ upon subject that had always puzzled
/ me. Inever could ascertain how it was
4 that so many men who depended on
4 their daily toll for their daily bread
! could afford to give up Their, time to
+. political ag1tations, roam about the
/ country making speeches, and get up
monster demonstrations in Trafalgar
/ square, Hyde Park, and ST. James's
! Hall, with bands of music, banners, and
ch-ights. But if Sir Charles furnish
4 es the sinews of war with q lavish hand,
this mystery is easily explained. a6,g

! The Birmingham reformers have COM

chosen is singularly inopportune, as
will appear to everybody in a few

ljdoms presents a solid front, stretching
the full length of the land, and makes
known it's determinations in a series OF
q resolutions, which have been now about

position to state that none of the reso-
!. Iutions to which the trades will stand
pledged include the disintegratlon OF
the constitution. We may go further
to day. The resolutions are the JOINT
production of secret parliament of
hereditary Legislators, eommoners, and
labor delegates. They are not, in any
way, party resolutions. The men who
