Now that the General Election is drawing so im-
mediately to a close, we can estimate with tolerable
accuracy the relative strength of the two great rival
parties. Out of the 658 there have been already re-
turned 646 representatives. Twelve more alone re-
main to be added to the full number completing the
Commons House of Parliament. And of those already
returned (that is of the 646), according to the I imes,
380 are Liberals and 266 Conservatives—leaving to
the former, therefore, 114 as a clear majority.
Against this statement, however, of the chief organ
of the Liberals, there is the counter-statement put
forward by the chief organ of the Conservatives.
The Standard's assertion being that the Constitu-
tionalists number already, out of the aggregate of
646 members even now returned, not 266, but 270
—a calculation which would show the clear majo-
rity of the Liberals to be not fourteen, but merely
half-a-dozen in excess of the square hundred.
The Standard, however, simply contents itself with
setting forth this statement. It refrains from de-
monstrating by a very simple sum in arithmetic how
it is that it arrives at this quotient. It undertakes
to give no detailed analysis of the electoral returns
already accumulated in the hands of all. It goes fur-
ther, nevertheless, than simply claiming 270 of the
members now returned as avowed Constitutionalists.
It expresses the greatest confidence that ten out of the
12 seats yet to be filled up, will be filled up by sup-
porters of the Government. So that, in that case,
280 out of the 658 being Conservatives, the Liberals
would have a clear majority of 78 altogether—instead
of either 6or 14 over the 100. Now, as usual, the
truth, we believe,will be fouud in between these two ra-
ther rash and extravagant calculations—between the
rose-coloured statement of the Liberals in;the Times and
the rose-coloured statement of the Standard in the
name of the Conservatives. The clear majority secured
to the Opposition as the result of the General Election
now upon the very eve of its completion, will, as we
feel assured, and as we have often before now stated
in so many words in these columns, be as nearly as
possible upon the turn of the hundred. It was a
clear majority of between 70 and 80 in
the last Parliament. It will have im-
proved upon that in the new Parliament, as
we have all along anticipated by a gain of between
20 and 30 altogether. The Spectator, we see, calcu-
lates to-day a just possible absolute majority of 101
—though it adds, " the real majority, we still believe,
will exceed 105." Remembering the predictions which
were so very confidently indulged in, when the elec-
tions commenced, by the more sanguine antagonists of
the Government, the result thus arrived at partakes
very much, indeed, of the character of a collapse.
Mr. GL.-.DSTONE was to enter the house with a clear
majority of 200. That was an assertion often in-
dulged in. The Conservatives were to be, in racing
phrase, just simply nowhere. The Opposition had
everything before them. The Leader was to be in-
stalled as a sort of Parliamentary Dictator or Politi-
cal Lord Paramount. The dwindling down of the Tory
Party was to be a something utterly ludicrous and
contemptible. The actual result has not, however,
by any means realized these extravagant anticipa-
tions. The majority attained is conclusive as to
the settlement of the question of the Irish Church
—not off hand, but with all due deliberation
and Parliamentary formality. But, while it
it is so, it must, in simple honesty and jus-
tice, be conceded to the Conservatives that they
make anything but a mean and contemptible show ;
that on the contrary they still prove to absolute de-
monstration that they are a very considerable power
in the State ; that they are foemen worthy of the
steel of the Liberals ; that they confront their anta-
gonists with ranks which are not nemerically insigni-
ficant, any more than they are either undisciplined
or disorganised. Mr. GLADSTONE will have now in
1868—as Sir R. PEEL had in 1841—a great, and at
any rate for the time being an united party at his
back, numbering, up at the lowest calculation, some
379, or thereabouts—giving him now in this matter
of the Irish Church, as it gave Sir ROBERT PEEL
then (seven and twenty years ago) in the matter of
Protection, a clear majority of 100. But while these
are the immediate probabilities on the one side there is
the all but certainty on the other that Mr. GLADSTONE,
so entering the House with that clear majority of
100 on the one sole question of the Irish Church, will
find himself confronted in regard to all other ques-
tions by a very formidable antagonist, indeed, iu the
person of Mr. DISRAELI at the head of his two hun-
dred and seventy odd Conservatives or Constitu-
tionalists I Mr. DISRAELI so confronting him, at
the head of that formidable body of Constitu-
tionalists, in his capacity as Author of the last Re-
form Bill and as undisputed leader still of
the country gentlemen of England ! A Conserva-
tive Statesman who has shown himself, by this
last enormous measure of Parliamentary Reform,
—which he has passed so very recently and so
triumphantly—to be no obstructive, and who has yet
at his back a serried mass of followers numbering up
very nearly 280 altogether ! An antagonist, therefore,
in no way to be contemned even by a Leader carried
in on the heads of the people, and having upon one
great question alone (the most prominent and urgent
question of the hour however) a clear majority in
his favour of 100 in a house of 658. No wonder,
when the results of the General E!ection come thus
to be scrutinized and analysed, no wonder that with a
phalanx of 270 or 280 Conservative Representatives
owning his authority as their leader ; no wonder we
say that Mr. DISRAELI prefers not to be relegated
himself to the House of Peers. No wonder
that—while handing over the coronet won by
his genius to that " perfect wife," his affection
for whom he has more than once before now so
gracefully signalized —Mr. DISRAELI reserves still
for himself the occupation of that proud posi-
tion he has now held so conspicuously for twenty
years as Leader in the British House of Commons
of the great party of the Conservatives or Constitu-
tionalists.
