he W0nld not take power unless tn liberals
never asked a show from anybody. The
queen could not conceal her satisfaction over
the change in politics. She never liked Mr,
Gladstone; He was too superior to etiquette;
servant to the throne. Her majesty is so
pleased over the prospect OF again having
tory and an aristocrat at the head Of affairs

seats and hurrahPd. They were then certain
that the Tories, lifted into power by Irish help,
would at once harmonic the Government,
but the Tories having recovered from their
first excitement appear to attribute the defeat
of Gladstone not to his harshness toward Ire
land, but to the loss of the Liberal votes driven
from him by disgust at submission to Irish

Tories kI.ow this. They are wise in this day

the prevalent opinion OF the Tory clubs.

SALIsBURY'S VIEWS.
LONDON, June IL. Lord Salisbury at an in
tive members Of the House of Commons, be-
fore his departure for Balmoral, said he would
refuse office unless assured by the liberal lead

members of the priyy council. This is
the fiEst time she has sought the advice OF the
Prince in a State crisis. 1t Is reported that he
advised the Queen to follow the constitutional
