special Caole Dispatch 10 TITE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. 2..-There was not a single
liberal gain i'm yesterdays elections. Manches-
ter returned five tories. against one liberal, by
a majority nearly six times that OF the great
conservative reaction OF 1874. The net result
of the metropolitan polling Is 30 tories, L. lib
erals. The votes cast in the metropolis show a
tory majority OF 1854. In liberal circles
blank despair rules. The Irish leaders are
grimly triumphant, while at conservative clubs
and headquarters the state OF mind is simply
ecstasy. The state of the poll al = O'Clock this
morning was: Conservatives. 1l9; liberals. IL .;
Parnellites, 10. All the hopes OF the liberals
are now liked on the counties. Unless these
stem the tory tide there is not the slightest
chance OF a liberal majority. Nothing IL really
known shout the agricultural laborer. but has
gratitude is rather rashly counted upon. Tho
state of mind OF the liberals can only be de-
scribed as one OF stupefaction. 80 TAR a. IL Is
possible 10 estimate the causes In the prevailing
excitement, two cries seem at the bottom OF
this triumphant reaction-.fair trade among
the workmen OF the congested manufacturing
districts, and 1.-THE church In danger" among
the clergy and liberal churchmen. The foreign
policy of the late government, especially the
wretched experiences i'm Egypt, must also Id
credited with a share Of this misfortune.

The Cradle Of Liberty Damaged.
AN INVENTOR WHO WANTS PATENT TO PU

AN INVENTOR WHO WANTS A PATENT TO PUT
THE MACHINE IN ORDER AGAIN
An intelligent looking man to-day attempted
to have an interview with the commissioner of
patents in regard to an invention which he
claimed to have just perfected and for which
he wanted patent. Not being able to get a
hearing with the commissioner he told in strict
confidence the messenger and any body else
who had the time to listen to him that he had
discovered that the Cradle of Liberty was
broken and his invention designed to REM
edy the injury that il had sustained and to en-
sure an easy and regular movement
Tor the remaining years that it
might be needed by the American people.
On this latter point he entertained grave
doubts, which increased as he found his
chances for a personal interview with the COM
missioner growing less as the day wore away.
However, he did not allow himself to become
80 discouraged as to abandon his effort to see
the commissioner, and when THE STAR went
70 press be was still waiting at the door enter
tanning those who passed along the corridor
with his views on matters and things in general
and his proposed patent in particular.

Yesterday several prominent democrats per-

him to attend the funeral of Vice President

might tempt some person of the Guiteau stripe
to attempt the lite of the President. Mr.. Cleve-
lands visitors did not like, they said, to discuss
the question Of his death, but they thought it
their duty to advise him to guard his life care
fully, as it was now more important than ever
that he should not incur any risks.
