Churchill Attacks Gladstone.

LONDON, June 20.-At a conservative
demonstration at Aylesbury, Lori Randolph
Churchill said: "The governments policy
in Egypt is throughout a tale of shame. The
English ministry is the direct cause of misery
and bloodshed among an inoffensive people
whom it is our mission to protect and
civilize. Gladstone ought to have fostered
Arab Pasha's patriotic movement, instead
of destroying Alexandria and killing 5000
Egyptians. After the battle of TaI-el- Kebir,
England's power in Egypt was greater as her
responsibility was greater, but Gladstone's
only thought was how to abandon Egypt.
His wavering policy is answerable for the
disaster and bloodshed from the defeat of
Hicks Pasha to the fall of Berber. The
radical herd in the house of commons
obediently swallowed despotism, an
archy, military expeditions, massacres, dec
orations, rewards, honors, titles, and PEN
sions, but the day of reckoning rapidly APP
proaches. Perhaps months or weeks, pos
sibly only days, will pass before then; yet
Gladstone selects such moment to propose
the restoration of French CONTROL British
evacuation, and an advance of 4S, 600 900 of
British taxpayers money. Such proposals
are fatal. They are ruinous to our interests
finances, honor and renown. The minister's
imbeciiity is without parallel in ancient or
modern times" Churchill was no advocate of
fresh annexation, which meant increased
ornaments and taxation. The maintenance
| of the British empire depends upon a just
| and righteous policy, not the sword. Eng
land, however, had virtually annexed Egypt.
He then said: "The French government can
not undo annexation, it must render it more
complete and effectual The motto must be,
| Egypt for Egyptians which prolonged
| British occupation will best effect, with the
| assistance of Europe,"

A GRAND KICK.

The reception which Blaine's nomina-
ton is meeting with from many republican
papers is certainly surprising. 1t has been
so much the practice of papers like Harp
er's Weekly, the New York Times and the
Evening Post TO boast of their independ-
ence and superior virtue in OFF years, and
then rally to the support of whomsoever
the republican managers choose to NOM
mate, that in spite of their brave ante
convention talk about fighting Blaine to
the bitter end, we have been skeptical as
to their pursuing any other than their
usual course this time.
1t seems, however, that they are now
really in earnest. Nothing like the indig
nation they manifest at the attempt to
force their lifelong enemy down their
throats has ever been seen before. In
New York only one republican paper. the
Tribune, supports the ticket, and of late
years it has had but little influence. In
fact owing to its quarrel with the working
men, its support does more harm than
good Even few of these powerful
journals possess influence enough to carry
New York against Blaine, and without
that state 1t is not whiting the range of
probabilities that he can be elected
Below is partial list of the republican
and independent newspapers which will
oppose Blaine and Logan:

DISCOUNTED DEMOCRATS

The democracy of Henry county held
their county convention at Cambridge on
Monday last, and, judging from the pro-
ceedings, the principal business transacted
was the abusing of the Rock Island county
democrats. That renowned kicker, ].
K. Blish, was appointed chairman, which
sounded the preliminary keynote of war.
The following delegates to the state con-
vention were appointed:
Chas Durham, Geneseo; J. K. Blish,
Kewanee; Chas w. McGovern, Western;
L. F. Dimmick, Cambridge D. Anderson,
Burns; A. L. Matter Galva; Levi Water
man, Geneseo; John III. Paddiford. Hanna,
G. K. Laid, Kewanee; R. H. Hinkman,
CISCO
The selection of delegates to the legisla-
tive convention was next in order, and it
was here where the heavy hitters got in
their work. Durham, of Geneseo, started
the ball rolling by stating that Henry
county was entitled to ten delegates in
stead of six, as provided by the call. He
also favored getting up and knocking
things endwise if they were not allowed
seats, and to go back home gritting their
teeth and declaring bitter war against their
neighbors. He then proceeded to berate the
politicians of this city in a manner most
likely to create an illfeeling if they had
been in ear shot.
Mr.. F. M. Viox, of Galva, did
not think as Mr.. Durham did, and
said he had supported Mr.
O'Mara two years ago, and would do SC
again if he were nominated. The follow,
ing delegates were then selected for the
senatorial convention:
Charles Durham, Geneseo; Chas. W
McGovern, Orion; M. z. Mattox, Galva
E. j. Paul, Edford; F. B. Ward, West
ern; Levi Waterman, Geneseo; Chas K
Ladd, Kewanee; Richard Mascall, Cam
bridge; j. K. Paddiford, Hanna; W. II
Carnes, Burns.
The convention closed, after delega-
ton to the congressional convention ha(
been appointed, and Mr. Durham giver
an opportunity to expend his wrath OF

he said: Rock Island county can no

On the whole, the proceedings of tht

Shameful Outbreak of Artillery Militia
"A Fight in Which They Get
Whfpped-Churchill on Glad
stOne-FOreien Flashes.

NEW YORK, June 20-A cable dispatch
from Limerick says: The most exciting re-
ports have reached this city of a mutiny by
the artillery militia on board vessel lying
In the harbor down the river Shannon.
For some days past the militiamen, who OBJ
Jected to their quarters on board ship,
have exhibited signs of characterization.
They are rough set, drawn from the low
est classes, and the constraint of discipline
and enforced sobriety kept them on the verge
of an outbreak. Finally, defying all orders,
they broke away from their floating barracks
in boats deserving their posts. Flinging aside
their arms and cursing their officers
they departed with wild shouts and made
landing at the town of Gin, some miles
below Limerick. The place is small one,
not mastering a thousand inhabitants.
Immediately they reached the river
bank they sprang out with wild yells
and advanced 200 strong on the town.
The frightened people fled before the
ruffians, who, half mob, half battalion
stormed the town, beating the townsmen as
they ran, quitting bakers and provision
shops, and stealing whatever of value they
could lay their hands on. Returning they
conferred on the two or three wine and liquor
shops of Gin, into which they broke and
whisky, porter, and ale flowed in gallons
While the militiamen were getting drunk
and filling the air with yells, the townsmen
had gathered back of Gin and had armed
themselv rs with every conceivable weapon,
from shotgun to pitchfork. The few con-
stabulary were powerless from the beginning.
With grand rush and great yell the
| Glinsmen came down on the now m.,.idened
militia, and pitch battle ensued. Heads
| were smashed on both sides. Citizens were
| beaten with bottles, belts, chairs, and table,
| legs The militiamen-shot, pitchforked and
| clubbed-finally broke and ran for the water.
| They were pursued to the Shannon's edge,
| bleeding, battered, and bruised, and made
their way on board the vessel
| they had deserted a couple of hours before
As they came aboard they surrendered to
their officers. The pursuit was so hot and
the threats from the victorious Glinsmen of
burning and sinking the ship We're so earnest
| that the vessel, with the disabled aud cowed
mutinesrs, at once put to sea. Gin is full of
broken heads and Indignation moi unmixed

such force might be supplied by the sultan
