LONDON, Oct 10.-The political cauldron
Is now boiling over. Meetings and counter
meetings. aae the order of the day. The lead
ers OF all parties are vigorously pushing
the campaign and urging their hearers to
extend them their suffrage or accept the
alternative Oh d series Of disasters which
tney predict as sure to follow the return CO
Their respective political opponents to power.
Lord Salisbury's speech at Newport on
Monday last, which has since been gener-
ally accepted as the keynote of the Con-
serVative campaign, is lauded by the follow
ers of thatwing of the body polite through
out the kingdom as master
piece of craftsmanship and solid
Judgment. The Tories are quite beside
themselves with delight at the stand the
noble lord has taken and predict astonish-
ing results. Both the Liberals and Radicals
are evidently very much discounted and
but barely conceal their vexation at the
blow given their pet doctrines in the ad-
dress of their sturdy opponent. The effect
has been to bestir the leaders Of both Radical
and Liberal wings to renewed efforts and
they are now actively arranging meetings
at which they propose to answer the
premier, and offset in every way the effects
OF his recent speech. John Bright the
energetic leader of the Liberals. will ad-
dress meeting on Monday at which he
proposes to take issue with the Conservative
leader in many of
THE LATTER's DECLARATION
with regard to the policy of his party. The
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, the
Radical leader, is also billed to speak on
wednesday next, and it is said he will con-
fine his efforts on that occasion to replying
to many of the structures made by Lord
Salisbury with regard to the wing OF the
party of which he is such noble represent
ative. Lord Salisbury will follow with
another speech at Brighton on Thursday,
and Lord Randolph Churchill, the young
opponent of Mr.. Gladstone, will deliver
one at Lynn on the 10Th. The Liberals
have become so alarmed by the
manner in which their opponents
are pushing = the campaign that
strenuous efforts are now being brought to
bear'on Mr.. Gladstone to assume the lead,
and by some of the vim and fire so char
acterlstic of his speeches rekindle the old
time enthusiasm that has marked the pre-
ceding Liberal campaign. The Liberal
leaders request that Mr.. Gladstone deliver
series of speeches and attack the Con-
servatives in their strongholds. A thorough
canvass Of the situation up to the present
time shows that Radicals and Tories are
rapidly gaining followers, while the Liberal
ranks are being depleted by the conversions
made to the ranks of their opponents. The
latest returns from
THE FRENCH ELECTIONS
show that the contest in Paris was excep-
tionally close. From the returns at hand it
IS learned that only four candidates were
elected outright and that second ballots will
