= L. W olahIey the explorer, VINO IS q
candidate for North Lambeth, has issued per-
haps the most remarkable of the new address
SEES. He states that though of British birth
and parentage, he has spent MIST of his life
IN wandering, but that in all his wanderings he
has seen no power so great and SO lbenehcent as
the British Empire, and that therefore, though
hr IS a natuIalised citizen of the United States
he has resumed the allegiance Of his birth, and
has resolved, II he may, to serve England.
lie says that the Foreign Colonial policies Of
the last two administration have been in
such strong contrast that he feels no doubt at
all that it is for the good Of England and Of
the world that Lord Salisbury's Administra-
ton should be returned to power. He dwells
especially on the strengthening Of the Navy
as the tnlc UNI OF that policy. Moreover,
there is no longer any conflict between pri-
vllege and popular right. Both parties are
equally determined to obey the peoples man.
date; but the Unionists do SO prudontly and
re8olutely, the Gladstonians rashly and wa
~yerIn2ly. The assembling of a Parliament
in Dublin viii be thedeginning Of our decad-
ence. Ireland should have as much self
government as London much and no
more.
Prince Bismarck has been splendidlv Ie-
ceived IN Vienna, which he visited on the
18th inst, in order to be present at his soa's
marriage to a daughter Of Count Hovos; and
IN Dresden, through which he passed on his
journey. in the former place, though the Am
bassddors did not call, the Russian representa-
tive excepted, and the HofbuIg paid him no
honour, the people welcomed him with over
wholming enthusiasm. They hung ro.md his
carIlagetlI he ha to be protected by the police
and assembled in crowds 80 continuous and so
noisy that Princess Bismarck grew alarmed
for her husband health. The popular hon.
ours paid to the ex-Chancellor have excited
much comment IN Germany, but, as we have
explained elsewhere, they do not imply any
chance Of his restoration to power. He him
self told an interviewer that he was only q
critic, and his principal criticism was that in
the absence Of his personal influence with
the Gear, the Zine" which connected the
German and Russian Courts had been severed
as he feared beyond repair. The wedding
ceremonial was of course magnificent. but
unmarked by any incident Of interest.
The ing and Queen of Italy have been vi
sitting Berlin, to the great pleasure of the Ger
man people and the great diSpleasure of the
French. 1t is believed that the King desires
TO come to an understanding with the Ger
man Court as to the extent to which the
Triple Alliance binds him to remain under
arms; and Admiral Brin, the Italian Foreign
Minister, has held a long, and it is said,
most satisfactory" interview with General
Won Caprivi. 1t seems probable that they have
devised some method by which a considera-
BILE number of soldiers may be sent home
without greatly delaying mobilization.
TIL Democratic Convention in Chicago
ended on Thursday in the nomination
at the first ballot of Mr.. Cleveland
for The Presidency by the two-thirds vote. Mr..
Cleveland received GIG votes, Ex-Governor
Hill, of New York, liz; Mr.. Boies, of Indiana,
the Western candidate, 1913; and various other
politicians from sc to /. The rules were then
suspended, and Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
made unanimous. Each party is now provided
with a candidate who has been President, and
is therefore known to the entire population
OF the Union. Personally, Mr.. Cleveland is
the more popular; but the election will prob
ably turn exclusively upon the real feeling of
the people with regard to Protection. The
Republicans are sternly Protectionist, and in
favor of extravagant outlay; while the Demo
Gratis. though not Free-traders in the English
sense, are furiously hostile to ''proaigate OK
penditure,' and in favour of imposing only
such duties as are required for the purpose OF
raising revenue. Both parties are opposed
to the free coinage of silver, though both de.
