LONDON, February 7.-Thc Daily Tel
egraph says the opinion of the country
has been pronounced, aud itisstrongly
adverse to Gladstone. He will comply
with the decision, as he is bound
to do, and will follow the consti-
tutional presidents set by Peel, Mel
bourne and others under similar cir
cumstances, or submit to a. formal
defeat, Not only is the field lost, but
is lost most decisively. The results are
to be attributed to Mr.. Bruce's unpopu-
lar licensing act, the division OF the
Liberal party on side issues, such as
the education act, female suffrage, the
permissive bill, etc, the deep and not
unnatural displeasure at the violent
language against the society by the
supporters of Workingmen's candi-
dates, and, lastly, want of tact and
sympathy shown by several members
of the administration a-e
