Tory Preparations for Turning Public Sent-
ment in Their Favor.
LONDON, July lit is becoming very evident
that the Tories do not intend to be easily dis
lodged from the ascendency which they have
accidentally obtained. The party managers are
daily becoming more vigorous and aggressive.
Their latest enterprise is the formation of
Conservative League, which is to flood the
country with Tory papers. The new organza-
ton has capital of $5000 and is supported
by 700 of the richest aristocrats of England.
Lord Randolph Churchill has accepted the presi-
dency of the league. 1t proposes to meet
the Wings and Radicals on their ground, to show
that their panaceas are not only impracticable,
but are thinly disguised plans of self-seeking
demagogues, and to convince the newly enfran-
chised electors that the Tories are the only ones
who have in the past made the franchise valu-
able, and therefore are the only ones to be
trusted in the future. Newspapers are to be
established wherever they will aid the Tory pro
paganda Tracts are to be distributed by the
ton, and speakers brass bands and torchlight
professions are to be provided in every borough
that is to return member at the general cleo
tion.
Lord Arthur William Hill, member of Par
Lament for Down, Ireland, in election speech
at Down, to day, was the first member of the
present government to give any intimation re-
garding the policy of the government in relation
to Irish affairs. His Lordship referred to the
recently proposed bill for the renewal of the
crimes act, and said such measures we're, in his
opinion, needless, as the ordinary laws were
sufficiently ample for the government of Ire
land. Continuing. he said the present land act
was failure, and that he would support the
land purchase bin which the Liberal government
had proposed.
The Cabinet Council to-day decided to entirely
abandon coercion in Ireland, and to rely upon
strict administration of the general law.
Lord John Manners, the Pastmaster- general,
addressing Conservative meeting at Leicester,
last evening said that, without pretending to
state the policy of the government, he was able
to say they would try to bring order out of the
present chaos in Egypt, and would endeavor to
terminate the tension the Afghan frontier,
which endangers India; also, that they favored
increasing the efficiency of local administration.
Lady Churchill, who is the daughter of Mr..
Leonard w. jerome, of New York is personally
engaging in the Woodstock canvass to secure the
re election to Parliament of her husband, Lord
Randolph Churchill. the new Secretary of State
for India The Liberals are very active in their
efforts to accomplish the defeat of Lord Randolph
and to secure the election of Corne Grant The
return of Lord Randolph Churchill for Wood
stock, at the present election, is considered a
very doubtful matter.
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, speaking, to- day.
in support of Lord Randolph Churchill, said
it was absolutely necessary not to
into" into Afghanistan. The Conservatives We're we're
determined that as large territory as possible
should separate England from Russia He
denied that the Conservatives wanted to tax
corn.
