Charles Bradlaugh voted on the question
of his admission to his seat upon his
making an affirmation instead of taking

VICTORY upon victory for Parnell!
Cork City, Meath and Mayo, have pro-
claimed him as their choice; Wexford
and other places have returned the men
of his choice; and now, although Kettle,
the Parnellite candidate, has been de-
teated in Cork county, the defeat has
been so nearly victory that the Parnell-
ties still rejoice. Many people have
looked on the contest in Cork with I'M
usual interest, since really the great
question to be decided by it was how far
the people were to be Influenced by the
expressed wishes of their clergy. These
latter have always been able to bring
their favorite through triumphantly, and
many find food for prophecy in the fact
that, notwithstanding all the bishops
and priests of Cork were arrayed against
Kettle, and for Colthurst, the former
lacked but one hundred and fifty votes of
the number polled for the latter.
