LONDON. August 23.--The Right Hon.
John Morley was nominated at Newcastls
to-day for reelection, and in opposition TO
him was nominated Mr. Pandeli Rail-,
Liberal Unionist, who made an unsuccess~
ful run at Guteshead in the general eiec-
ton. where he was beaten by the Hon.
Walter Henry James Mr. Ralli ia well

will have no easy task In obtaining rs-eleo-
tiou, although the opposition to him is not 40
confident as q few days ago. At Derby Farmer
Atkinson was nominated in opposition to
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. but there 10
no doubt of Harcourt's reelection. Most
of the other ministers have been reelected
without opposition. Pierce Mahoney. the de-
feated Parneilite candidate in North Meath,
is busily engaged gathering evidence to se-
cure the unseating of Michael Deyist.
Mahoney claims that Roman Catholic

from the altar during the celebration OF
mass and by other means, which threaten
ed loss and injury, temporal and spiritual,

MS Introduction. The Major begon by saw

Nor OF tarlt reform. and paid high compli-
ment 70 Mr.. Cleveland. He then, in very
rambling way charged the Democratic
party with all the evils resulting from tho
deiects OF the Government for many years
back, and during his entire speech he en-
deavored 10 shield the Republican party
from blame.
Mr. Goode, in his rejoinder. said the
MaJor gave evidence that he was on the
stoot OF repentance for having wandered
from the fold OF Democracy. and exbOrted
nun as poor backslider to return: said that

that was heard for several squares.
lie then began an inquiry as 10 the cause
OF the Majors conduct IN leaving the Dem
0ocratic party, and said: Il wonder If the
Major would not have accepted an Office at
the hands OF the Democratic party and re-
NAMED true TO his first love?" This was
crushing blow for it turns out that letter
had been written by Major Gaines about
three months ago. before he left the Dem

OF this county. making some inquiries as TO
the next candidate for Congress in this dis

lt seems that Mr., Browns reply did not
satisfy the Majors aspirations, and the

He acknowledged today that if the Third
party nominated him for Congress he would
accept and make the Canvass.
