The Elections Complexion of the
 Latest Returns.
 LONDON April 6.-Mr. E. Clark, the recent Conservative candidate for Southwark, who with his Conservative associate Colonel Beres- ford, was defeated in the recent election, has been appointed Queens counsel by Earl Bea- consfeId. It is now believed to be improb- able that Herbert Gladstone will contest the city of L.eds in place of his father W. E. Gladstone, who had held that constituency in reserve in case of his own defeat for Mid lothian. The Liberals propose to put up MT. Edward Barnes in the candidacy vacated by Gladstone, senior, in conjunction with Al derman John Barron, who represented that place in the late Parliament. MT. Barnes is man of decided ability and will probably make good run, although two out of three members for Leeds in the late Parliament were Conservatives. Leeds has registered vote of 49, 545.
 The latest returns show the election of BOA Liberals and 163 Conservatives. NIT. Adam has been reelected for Clsckmaanaa, Scot land.
 The Liberal candidates have been elected for Wigtonshire and ButsGhirs, Scotland
 LONDON, April 7.-Ths latest returns show that the Liberals have elected PIT members, the Conservatives 162 and the Home Rulers 35, giving net Liberal gain of 6S.
 Gladstone has returned to Chester on private business. The workingmen of London are organizing monster demonstration to wei come Gladstone on his arrival at London next week.

one who did noble service beneath the old flag
They have not in the least changed their views,
and have not one particle of true sympathy for
their soldier candidate as such, for though
they shout forth praises for this hero. as thew
term him, and for the brave deeds he per-
formed, In their hearts they ignore all that
and love him because of his course in the
affairs of Louisiana, when he strove to again
restore the rebel element to supreme control.
This was his passport to their favor, and they
the. military record of Gen. w. S. Han
cock, in order that they might be more
sure OF the entire support of their
party in the coming struggle Com
rades, do not forget that while the brave Han
cock was bleeding and suffering upon the field
of Gettysburg the great Democratic party of
the North was rloting in the streets of New
York, and committing dark and bloody deeds.
But some OF my comrades will say, these things
are of the past. Why speak of them now? I
reply, it must be done to show that the party
is the same to-day as it was then. / say these
things must be kept fresh in the hearts of the
people in order that patriotism and not treason
will be first and foremost in this beloved land
of ours. The great Democratic party TODAY
bid for our votes by presenting as their stan
dard bearer one whom as a soldier we have
ever delighted to honor. They do not ask our
votes because of his record as a statesman, for
he has none. Then the simple question for US
to decide is, will we. cast our influence for the
soldier, that we honor as such. In deciding it,
we must remember that Hancock the soldier
and Hancock, the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party, are not one and the same. He
stands upon a platform of sound, but not
depth. He is the champion of party that,
could they have done so. would have left us
upon the battlefield unprotected. And though
from personal friendship and admiration for
him as brave soldier, you may, my comrades,
many of you, feel to vote for him, pause and
see If he in any way represents your ideas as
regards the principles for which you fought.
Gen. James A. Garfield was not only
brave soldier, but his record as statesman is
above reproach. He is the champion of the
true and noble principles we had the honor to
contend for. Herepresents a party who have
ever taken noble stand in the cause of right,
and who to-day stand as they did in the dark
days of civil strife, our firm friends and ad-
herents. The claim they make upon Us for
our votes is just one. And let us shoulder to
shoulder, as in former days march together in
the cause of right. We must sink personal
feelings in the matter and give our strength
for the true principles, which will make our
Republic stronger, greater, nobler. Forward
to the fight! Close up the ranks!

For dressy toilets for afternoons at the sea-
white null is at inland watering. places. In
deed, all white toilets, with even the round
hat or dressy bonnet of pure white, are con-
sidered the most distinguished of the season.
1t is quite possible to make these white WOOL
len dresses very plain and simple, or to go to
the other extreme and make them very dressy.
In the latter case they are made up over white
silk and are trimmed with elaborate embroid-
cry, on tulle done in white silk; white satin is
is placed under the tulle to throw the embroid-
cry into relief. A basque and trimmed round
skirt, or else demi-train with flowing back
breadths is the design for such dresses, and a
good deal of Languedoc or of point d'esprit
lace is added. Among imported dresses for
the seaside those of lavender and heliotrope
colored woods, such as fine French cashmere,
bunting, or nuns yelling, are the most popular
rivals of the white toilettes. 1t is preferred
now that these should be entirely of one color,
without much white lace, and should be worn
with satin ribbon waist bands of the same
shade.
The lace used by modistes ON some of the
most refined dresses is the simple point d'esprit
from which the small dots are omitted, the
fine net being left plain, except on the edges,
where it is wrought in saw tooth points. This
is now gathered-not pleated-very full around
the neck and wrists, and is often put in double
rows, the lower row being wider than that
outside. Another pretty fancy is the use of
satin ribbon of different widths on corsages;
for instance, at the throat, or at the end of the
square neck, is a square bow of ribbon two
inches wide; at the waist is rosette of many
loops of very narrow ribbon not mole than half

August Atlantic.l
General Gartield's career illustrates in re-
markable degree the possibilities of American
life to one born with a strong brain in a strong
body and gifted with industry, courage, perse-
verance, and high ambition. His father, q
poor farmer, possessed of a few sterile acres
and large family, died when he was six years
old. He had no well-to-do relatives to help
him along. In fact he had no help save the
counsels of wise, fesolute, religious mother,
and no capital save what lay in his own head
and hands. With the labor of his hands, put
forth in the lower forms of honest toll, with
the axe, the hoe, the carpenters plane, and on
the tow-path Of a canal, he gained the means
to obtain such education as rural academy
afforded. Then, making capital of his new
store of knowledge, he taught country schools,
and got the means to take higher course of
study, Equipped with the training Of a Mas
sachusetts college, he opened for himself a
path in life which began with the Latin and
Greek professorship of an obscure school in
Ohio, and broadened out until it led to a ma
ior-generalship in the Union army, to seat
in Congress held for nine consecutive terms,
to an election to the Senate by the unanimous
choice of his party in the Ohio legislature, and
now to the Republican nomination for the
Presidency. All these hoDors came to him
without solicitation, and without effort on his
part to grasp them. So far as fate shaped his
career in life, it was the career of day labor
er. High purposes, an indomitable will, a
great capacity for work, fixed principles and
good habits enabled him to compel fate, and
change that career to one of conspicuous honor
and usefulness. Every farmer boy cannot be-
come major-general, a Senator, and Presi-
dental uominee, but the lesson of Garfield's
life is that the institutions of this country
place no obstacles in the way of the poorest
lad who tolls in the fields or the workshop. 1t
is lesson full of encouragement and
cheer. 1t shows that the country is
not wholly given over to the rule
of political rings, bosses and conspirators,
and that one party at least is still strong
enough and wise enough to "pluck from the
nettle danger the flower safety" and to Sc
lect for its leader man whose worthiness and
fitness are his only strength. 1t shows, too,
that in spite of all the changes in our social
fabric, brought atout by the growth of great
corporations and the accumulation of vast
wealth in few hands, talent and manliness,
unaided by money, can still win their way to
the most exalted positions. The presidency is
not yet sold to the highest bidder, nor disposed
OF by junto OF selfish political schemers.
