tSnaing Riots.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-Theexcitement caused
by the closeness of the elections is tre-
mendous. Four deaths from excitement
caused by politics are reported. Riots are
the order OF the day. Mr.. Charsley, the
defeated Tory candidate against Baron
Rothschild in the Aylesbury division of
Bucks, lies dying at local hotel from in
iuries received at the hands Of a mob.
Twenty residences Of Tories and the two
chief hotels at Radstock, Somerset, have
been destroyed. Scores OF citizens and
policemen have been injured at Worthing,
where the police were stoned. Fifty
casualties are reported at Wilton. The
successful Liberal candidate there was
beaten black and blue, and only by the
aid Of an escort of sixty policemen battling
their way to the station, did he escape
being thrown into the river.
Tho 81. JGmeS Gazette complains that the
Radical dodgers have succeeded in secur-
ing q numerical victory through the vote
OF newly entrRchised ingnoramuses. Il
declares that the result is q triumph OF
village ignorance over the voice OF the
more intelligently trained constituents all
over England. The suicidal folly Of such
an argument as this needs no pointing out.
but it will doubtless please the Gne old
crusted Tories, who are now the sole
patrons OF the Gazette.
EXPLAINING THEIR DEFEAT.
The Carlton Club has sent forth circu.
lar advising Tories to explain their defeat
as follows: "The victories Of the Liberals
in the earlier county elections disturbed
Parnell's plans. He feared that despite
his aid to the Tories, the Liberals would
obtain majority which would make them
independent Of him. Therefore he sought
TO hedge. He sent letters TO the Liberals
standing for the remaining county diyig-
ions, offering toBwing the Irish vote over
TO them ii they would give pledges to ad-
vocate and vote for home rule for Ireland.
The candidates, flushed with the victories
thus far achieved by Liberals, declined
the bait. The Irish electors were left un-
instructed as to how they should vote,
and they did not vote at ALL" Thus the
Carlton Club claims Mr.. Parnell avenged
himself on the Tory party for the alleged
bad faith which the Tories displayed
toward him at Liverpool.
The few Parnellits leaders now in LON
don agree that the statement is another
Tory lie, and declare that it has not even
the meritof ingenuity.
The Liberals are shrieking with DELIGHT
over the defeat OF Sir Matthew Ridley in
the Hexham division OF Northumberland.
Sir Matthew was tho political secretary oi
the Home Department OF Lord Beacons-
fields Government, and was the man de-
eignated by the Tory leader as, when they
deemed their success certain, To be the
Speaker oi the next Heuse Of Commons.
Now he will not be even member OF the
House, unless some warmiug-psn mem
ber can be induced to resign a seat in his
favor. The Liberal campaign ia being
conducted with more vigor and dash as
the end approaches. The Liberal orators
frequently refer TO the tramp OF the two
Million, meaning the new voters who
were enfranchised by the Liberal party.
A iayorite song at Liberals meetings is
parody on "The Campbells Are coming"
Its chorus beginning:
