OQT noivereity was yesterday edueeday) called upon to
decide who shall be IM future Lord Rector. This important
question el maim misted great exciteeseet sad agitation
amongst the oblidres of Alma Mater. The rivalry bete*,
the wearen of the red" sad the " blue" was most ani-
mated, sad, as the result slow, was as close as it WWI,
he... The number of voles reoceded for Mr. Gledit:ra
was 548, and for the Lord Justioe Clerk 54"_;, thus giviag a
majority of six in favour of the liberal nominee. Tae
"natives," however, by whom the election via to be
decided, are equally divided in opinion, sad the
final &chid* will therefore net with the Doke
of Montrose, as Chancellor of the University. It is con-
fidently expelled that hie grad, who is a ormeervative,
will give his casting vote for the Lord Justin Clerk. It
will scarcely be doubted now that the liberal stadium of
the university were badly advised when they pitched upon
Mr. Gladstone es their candidate for the Lord Rectorship.
They could have carried almost any other wisest man
belonging to the liberal side much more easily. A
variety et drawbacks and disqualifieatiems met in
him. from which almost any person she at all
Miele to be named would have been exempt.
Chief among them undoubtedly was the fact that he had
just quitted Edinburgh. No one could discover say good
reason why be should be tonight out us
sod rhed after, as
if there were nobody worthy of honour but himself. The
fact also that op to the last there prevailed much uncer-
tainty as to whether, won if choose, be would accept the
office, operated powerfully against his supporters. The con-
sequeece was that they have been left
lashwit a bare majority
in the swept' poll. and the election rengted in • tie.
Whereas they might have achieved a triumph as sided as that
which marked the election of Mr. Carlyle for Edinburgh,
they stand oat as defeated sod (in a meow) humiliated.
It is not in the least likely that the Chancellor will give
his casting vote on their side ; and even if he did it world
be a very nosatiefactory maser of carrying their candi-
date, for it would show more as an set of grace than as the
result of strength. For our own part, consider eg the
multiform disadvantages under which they laboured, we
are rather astouisberl thee otherwise that they were able
to make ao good a fight &a they did. Still, it is • miserable
thing that half-a-dozen votes should seem to represent the
liberal majority, thon,b of imam it only seems to do so.
