dolph Churchill is smaller than the Radi-
Gals expected. The greatest numerical
Conservative victory is that of w. H..

those OF the last election, the Liberal vote
summing UP less and the Conservative
more.

planned that Lord Salisbury had misin-
terpreted his recent utterances. The
Tories professed anxiety for the Church,
but were really anxious about the land
question. The Tory leader was confident
of a majority because OF the promises Of
his Irish allies. Referring to Mr.. Par
nells sweeping denunciatiOn of the Llber-
ais, Mr.. Gladstone said:
"Whatever good Ireland has received
has been accomplished by the Liberals.

toward Ireland in the future as the past,

Mr.. Parnell and his friends"

lament for the south division, now repre-

name was proposed by one Of his friends
MIR. Callan then demanded 20 know the
ground OF Mr. ParnelPs recent charge
against him in refusing 10 accept him as
the Nationalist candidate 10 succeed him
self. Mr. OKelly, one OF Mr.. ParnelPs
liertenants, thereupOn arose and declared
that the charge was that Mr. Callan was
drunk IN the House OF Commons during
the session just closed, and that
for this reason Mr.. Parnell deemed him
unworthy 10 represent the Nationalists In
the new Parliament, which promises 10
be the most important one for Ireland.
Mr.. CallaD, In answer, admitted that the
charge was true, and apol0gized for his
falling. He afterwards made an appeal
TO the electors against what he called n
packed convention. An uproar attended
bis last remarks and a scene OF confusion
followed, during which Mr. Callan and
bis followers left the hall.
