LONDON, April lit is becoming tolera-
bly, clear that no change now likely to oc-
cur in the voting will be great enough to
save the Government from defeat. The
question now is whether the Liberals can
take Office with good working majority.
The political weather prophets of the
Carlton Club have about given up hope,
and already speculate as to whether Lord
Harrington, Lord Granville, or Mr. Glad
stone will be invited to form ministry.
is now to the interest of the Liberals to
strain every nerve to increase their ma
jority, and then save their party from the
miseries of a weak majority in the House
The need of this is all the more felt in
view of the fact that so large proportion
of the Liberals thus far returned are new
men, and that there are 10 less than five
different shades Of opinion and policy
among them.
The problem of forming homogeneous
and harmonious party out of ixture ol
Conservative Liberals, Liberals, Radicals
Home Rulers and avowed Democrats is one
that will not be easily solved. The Con
servatives believe that even If the Liberals
take office they can not hold it more than {
few months
