LONDON, Oct 8.-The Daily Telegraph LIB
eral), says: Lord Salsburys speech was
masterpiece of skill, of lucidity of arrangement,
and, we must add, of candor. He does not
fnesse. The battle may be said to have COM
menced with this remarkable address. which ex-
hibits all the high qualities of the Tory leader,
as we'll as his defects. and must powerfully in
fuence public opinion on more than one burning
question"
The Daily News says: 'Lord Salisbury salts
fes his opponents and dismays his friends. The
policy of doing timidly what the Liberals would
do thoroughly. will please the old Conservatives
more than the Churchillites Churchill's ascend:
ancy in the Irish policy is still apparent. 1t is
evidently the intention to govern Ireland during
the winter without coercion. Lord Salsburys
remarks on federation will distinctly encourage
Mr. Parnep to persevere. There could scarcely
be fuller admission of the tacit alliance be-
tween the Parnellites and the Conservatives"
The Standard says Lord Salisbury's speech
was eminently practical, AS well as eloquent and
vigorous, but that the Premers language
though sufficiently vigorous and decisive against
disunion of the empire, might with advantage
have been more distinct on the question of Irish
selfgovernment. This, the Standard says, was
the most noticeable defect in the speech.
The Times excuses Lord Sasburys lack of
defnitiveness on the ground that it is impossible
for him to define policy until he has seen how
the Parnellites will make their power felt 1t
continues: His defence of the governments
past policy in Ireland is most unsatisfactory.
His pointing to the recent prosecutions against
boycotting is an admission that the coercion act
will be allowed to lapse Boycottng will conse-
quently extend. His programme is not thrill
ing one, but it is enough to show that the Con
servative government is not necessarily doomed
to legislative barrenness."
The Pail Mall Gazette says that the Marquis
of Salisbury's speech creditable, and ex-
presses hopes that the Premier will execute his
programme, if the Conservative government is
reelected, which, it says, is not SO improbable
as many imagine.
Sir Richard Cross, the Home Secretary, in a
speech at Barnsty, this evening" said that the
government would bear with Ireland little
longer and if tho situation there did not i'm
prove, they would resort to a stronger measure
than they had hitherto adopted.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The Result q Surprise to Everybody Pc

The Result Surprise to Everybody Pc
culiarities Of French Politics.
PARIS, Oct. 8.-The result of Sundays cleo
tons has been complete surprise to every one.
The success of the reactionaries, that is, of the
Monarchists and Bonapartists combined, has
surprised even the most optimist predictions of
their own party, The exact result cannot be
told positively until after the second ballot,
which will take place next Sunday week, but
enough is already known to make it certain that
an anti Republican coalition will comprise about
200 partisans more than one-third of the new
Chamber, which in all will be composed of
584 deputies. In the last Chamber the anti. Re-
publicans had about ninety votes only. They
were a minority that hardly counted--a minor
ity however, that will make up more than one
third of the whole, which is by means
quantity to be despised, and accordingly the
Republican papers of this morning express
serious alarm. They all admit the gravity of
this new verdict of the Nation, and earnestly
adjure all Republicans, of whatever shade. to
forget their own chickering's and differences, and
to march united to the "ballotage of October 18
In order that at any rate, their losses may not
be greater than they are already. Last Sunday,
IN order to secure candidates election, it was
necessary for him to obtain a majority of all the
votes cast. which majority was also required to
equal one-fourth of all the registered electors.
1t IS e significant fact that kind OF evolution
seems to take place in the minds of the French
people about every fifteen years. end after any
particular regime has lasted that length of time
the country begins to be ripe for and to des ire a
change. The consulate and the first empire lasted
fifteen years, the restoration exactly fifteen
years more then Louis Philippe had his turn

now lasted fifteen years Can it be possible tha.

end2 l heard such opinions expressed freely
last evening. On the other hand,
many thoroughly conversant with French poll
tics maintain that France is further off from
monarchical restoration than ever The danger
they maintain. would have been far greater had
an overwhelming vote given the control of af-
fairs to the Socialists intransigeants and ultra
Radicals, who are so reckless and ignorant and
whose ideas are so utterly subversive of all
principles of order and rational government
that after few years of chaotic confusion the
country would gladly have turned for relief to
anyone, whether king. emperor or dictator, who
would promise deliverance from the unbearable
tyranny of charlatans, who profess those articles
of faith lately enunciated in the platforms of the
radical Socialists.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-The case against Ring
gold Butler Malone. son of Senator Mahone
charged with assault and battery with intent to
kill John Willis, waiter at Welkers, OF Feb. 13
last, came up in the Criminal Court, before Judge
Macarthur, to-day. Mr.. Taggart, prosecuting
Attorney, stated that the porson on whom the
alleged assault was committed had not been
found. He stated, further, that the District
Attornevs Office had been informed, bysa letter
purporsing to be from Willis that he did not
wish to prosecute the case; that the matter had
been satisfactorily adjusted between him and
Mr.. Malone. he having received $780, with a
promise of $75 more when the case is settled.
Counsel for Malone said he knew nothing
of such settlements. and that, so far as he knew
they had good defence. and he was willing to
go to trial. The court suggested that such a
man ought not to complain at being shot at.
Mr.. Taggart submitted letter that had been

A DEMOCRATIC TEMPEST.
The New Postmasters in New Jersey Prove
To Be Prohibitionists.

TRENTON, Oct S-That the Democrats and
Prohibitionists are working together this year
has been proven conclusively in more instances
than one. In Ohio there is no doubt of such an
alliance, and in certain New York counties there
Is good evidence of it, Here in New Jersey also
the two ordinarily adverse Quantities are tied
fast, and are working more or less in harmony
The Democratic press is profuse in its praises OF
the recent stumping trip through the State by
John Peter ST. John. The meetings have been
numerously attended by Democrats, who did
most of the applauding. Many rural tavern
has witnessed the scene of drinks all around by
!. Democrats after st. John speech. In several
counties prohibition speeches and literature are
being paid for by the Democrats.
But in some of the south Jersey districts
the alliance seems to have worked unfor-
tunately. On the strength of work done last
fall, several Prohibitionists in Cumberland
and Salem counties received postoftices
month or so ago. Their success encouraged
others, and without knowing it the Democrats
allowed something like score of prohibition
postmasters to be appointed in the southern tier
of counties. The result promises to be dis
astrous. In many of the counties. the prohib-
ton vote draws as heavily from the Democrats
as it does from the. Republicans. These post
masters are evide~{Iy jealous partisans. They
have joined county prohibition committees. and
are even using their Offices as vehicles for the
dissemination of temperance literature. The
Democrats are up in arms in some localities, and
have already told the postmasters they must
halt but they wort halt. They say they were
appointed as Prohibitionists and never made any
bones about it. In other words, they are,
metaphorically speaking, placing their dgits on
the ends of their noses and smiling at the Dem
ocrats. Whether these fellows can be removed
is now the problem agitating the leaders of south
Jersey Democrats. Perhaps they can be ruled
. out on the ground of offensive partisanship, but
it is doubtful. 1t looks as though the Demo
Gratis would have to reap the direful results Of
their hasty and unholy alliance

Very Low and May Die at Amy Time.

New YORK, Oct Sit was stated at Cardna

Dr. Keyes said, this afternoon that the condi-

probable not die tonight, unless an unexpected
change for the worse took place.
During the afternoon the sick man rested
easily and appeared more comfortable than dur

tion was more favorable in that he was less rest

DR.. Keyes again called at $50 p. NJ, and when

survive the night. There had been no material
change since Wednesday, when the conditions
