The Results Of the ParIia mentary Elections.
LONDON, Dec 2, 186s
For wonder the Daily telegraph processes to
have some exclusive Information this morning. and
publishes 1t In double loaded editorial II Is to the
effect that at the interview which Is to take place Of
windsor this morning between Mr. Disraeli and the
Queen the Premier win place his resignation in the
hands OF her Majesty, and that afterwards, at o
Cabinet council, he viii make statement to his
colleagues, informing them that the Queen has been
graciously pleased to relieve them Of the cares Of
orice. The Telegraph holsters up this news by
number OF specous arguments going to show that
the best thing Mr. Disrae do Is to retire before
he Is expelled by Parliamentary vote OF confidence.
am afraid, however, that the Teiegrdphs
wish Is father to Its news and that like most
OF the exclusive information In the London papers
the news is bogus. Nobody else has heard OF the
rumors OF which the Telegraph speaks. At the
political clubs no gossip OF the kind is current
Everywhere the double loaded editorial Is laughed
at and rdiculed. But II by any chance 1t should
prove to be true, you VIII have the facts by tele
graph tonight aud it will then be found that this IL
only part OF the scheme to keep Gladstone out OF the
Premiership.
To-day all the elections, except those in Orkney,
Shetland and the two Scotch Universties are over
aud we may fairly count up the killed and wounded.
Two hundred and twenty-eight new members have
been returned TO ParlIament-more than third OF
tho whole number OF members. This, however, Is
abont an average proportion IN general elections.
About score OF these new members have been In
former Paraments, but not In the last. Fifty.
lhree seats were taken away by the dis
reimbursement acts passed by the last Parlla-
ment. these were very equally divided, since the
liberals lost twenty.seven and the conservatives
twenty-slx. fifty-one new seats were created by
ine Reform bill OF which the liberals have gained
twenty-seven and the conservatives twenty -four.
in the contests over the old seats the liberals have
gained slNty-iour and the conservatives fifty one.
~ Is evident then, tha the liberals have increased
their majority In the Parliament by precisely
fifteen votes-a result which talhes with the infor-
nation sent you long previous TO the elections.
The predictions Of conservative substratum among
the newly enfranchfed voters have also been real

by men Who are too moderate, TOO slow, too well
satisfied with the present state OF things. They fear
that, after the disestablshmen OF the Irish Church
is accomplished, Parliament will SINK back into
apathy, content with its work, and unwilling 10 crap

astonished that the new workngmens constituent

and they mourn over Beaes, who was thought to
be popular because he engineered the Hyde Park
riots; over Bradlaugh, the irreligous ic0noclast
over Miale, tue opponent OF the English Church.
Especially DO they weep for Mil, the womans rights
champion, and Miner Gibson who was sure OF q

this record OF their opinions fallen from their own
lips, may DO neresting and instructive.
