A SPEECH BY GLADSTONE.
LONDON , August 9. At the lord
mayor's banquet to her majesty's ministers
istors this evening , Gladstone , ro
spending to the lord mayor's congrat
ulutionssaid ho has boon fifty years ii
the service of the country and expressed
pressed the hope ho should nut fai
during what may bo the short rumain
der of his public life , to soivo hii
queen and country faithfully to the
end. "I am sanguine , " ho sairt , "we
haAo parsed a moment of danger
and that there will bo w a
dom and harmony in the woik
awl deliberations of parliament for
the remainder of the present year. '
Referring ; to the E.yptiijn ; _ question ho
said : "It is of vital importance tliu
the position of England should not bo
misunderstood. Forces havu gene to
Egypt in prosecution of the gre it in
terests of the empire. Unless those
interests existed it would not bo im
possible for us to find justification foi
intervention. But lot it bo known ant
proclaimed from this spot , which af
fords a channel of communication
with the world not inferior to the
aonato itself , that those interests arc
not ours alone , but the interests wo
have in common with every atatp in
Europe ; nay , with the whole civilized
world. " [ Cheers ] Referring to the
Suez canal , Gladstone said ; "It is essential
sontial for mankind that tlutt gutu
should bo open , and that Iho country
in winch it is situated should bo
peaceable and under A legal govern
ment. The utmost wo have in view ,
though the burden and honor of pur-
forming it may fall upon
ourselves , is a work which
it is essential for every country in
Europe to perform , and the perform
ance of which cannot but rebound , if
it bn associated with high and disinter

on whom the burden falls. " Gladstone
continued ; "Wo do not go to war
with the Egyptian people , but rescue
them from the oppression of military
tyranny. Nor do wo raako war upon
the Mohammedan religion , as English
men respect the convictions of bo-
Hovers in every other faith. Wo do
not want to suppress the growth of
liberty in Egypt , but desire that she or
bo prosperous. England goes to
Egypt with clean hands , and with no :
aecrot intention to conceal from other )
nations. There is a class of
men besides the military who
require to bo overawed , who wore it
instruments of former oppression and tvri
who wish well to the military tyranny tvriJ

motion limiting speeches to five
minutes waa carried. Hurts , now the

speech.
The declaration of principles pro
aontod by the committee sets forll
that largo numbers of citizens of Il
linois have for years petitioned for
submission of a constitutional amend-
niont prohibiting the sale of intoxicating -
cating liquors , but have been rofusot
by the legislature under the influence
of 12,000 liquor dealers of the rtato
that a request waa sent to the repub
lican convention aakim/ embodiment
of this petition in its platform , whiah
was refused by a vote of G13 to 133 ;
that nothing ia to bo hoped from the
democratic party , which courts the
support of the liquor dealers ; holds
that all governments must keep pace
with the progress of public sentiment ,
or go down ; and that the submission
asked for waa in accordance with the
genius of our institutior a ; that under
tnosp circumstances' V only meant
of reaching the desired end ia-political
organization ; that boycotting anc
bribery by liquor interest in the elec
tion of members of the legislature
make it imperative ; therefore , they
ask co-operation of all good citizens
regardless of party.
The platform proper declares the
manufacture and stile of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage a sin againsl
God and a crime and curse to man ,
which no human enactment or usage
can make right , and that Christianity ,
humanity and patriotism demand its
prohibition > ; favors the submission to
the people of a prohibitory constitu
tional amendment ; favors the enfran
chisement of women , and opposes the
application of the fund raised from
the liquor traffic to the support of the
common schools. A resolution wits
alof adopted pledging the candidates
of the convention not to go into a
