conservative Gains.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-The excitement over yes
terdays elections continued undated to-day
All the newspapers again issued special editions
every hour until midnight. The jubilation is
almost entirely confined to the Tories, and ex-
perts declare that their hopes of obtaining a
plurality in the next Parliament are well found
ed. This belief is based on experience in past
elections. which has shown that victories early
in the baloting have invariably had favorable
effect for the victorious party upon the constit-
uencies which had not yet voted. Thus, in 1874
the Tories, on the first day of election, gained
nine seats and the Liberals four, net Tory gain
of FIVE seats
The following parliamentary candidates were
elected to day:

An election riot occurred at Nottingham to-
day. Several serious conflicts took place be-
tween the mob and the police, in which forty
seven persons were injured. Troops were called
out to quell the disturbance.
The Tory reaction is still unchecked and the
enthusiasm of the Conservatives is unbounded
and contagious. Great crowds gather in the
neighborhood of the bulletin boards and cheer
the announcements of sweeping Tory successes
The Conservatives have carried five of the six
Manchester divisions. The sugar operatives of
East st. George returned Mr.. Richie,
an advocate of countervaing duties. In
Hamstead, Sir H. Holland, Conser-
vative, who received 27S5 votes,
defeated the Marquis of Lorne, Liberal, who re-
ceived 1,SlO. In Westminster. Mr.. Burdett
Coutts, the Baroness's husband, polled 1896
votes, defeating Prof. e. S Beasley, Liberal, the
famous positivist writer, who polled 1,736 The

James Ferguson, Conservative, to de-
feat the former Home Ruler, r. P Blenner-
hasset; Liberal In Southwest Manchester

had gained scarcely any new boroughs and
barely held their own In Rochdale. Potter is
elected. In Halifax, Shaw and Stansfeld are
successful. Sir Il. Brassey is returned for
Hastings. In Rotherhthe Hamilton received
1857 and Parkhurst, Home Ruler $500 In
Oxford, Hall is elected In Galway City, T. p
O'Connor received 1885, and Hallett, Tory,
164. O'Connor elects to sit for Liverpool
Mr. Gladstone is fearfully chagrined over the
result, and has abandoned all hope of more than
the barest Liberal majority at the best. He has
to leave Scotland on Saturday, travel
ing by the night mail in order to avoid awkward
demonstrations on the way.
Returns up to l o'clock Friday morning show
that 109 Liberals. 108 Tories and 10 Parnelites
have been elected. The Liberal gains so far are
seats and the Tory gains 90 seats
The Conservatives threaten to petition for a
new election in Chilsea, on the ground of per-
sonal intimidation by Sir Charles Dixie who
was elected there on Tuesday
The Daily News, commenting upon the cleo
ton returns, says: 1--WE know no reason wnv
the Liberals should be discouraged The coun-
ty voters are certain to vote for the evers of
the franchise A further inducement for them
to support the Liberal party is their direct in
terest in the land question. The absence of the
Irish vote is of less interest than the loss of the
votes of Liberal churchmen. The Liberal ma
jority in Parliament may be small, but there is
no reason why the Liberals should be in mi
nority."
The latest election returns show that, ND to
the present date, liz Liberals ard 100 Tories are
elected.
