METHOD AMI RESULT OF THE BRITISH CAM
PAlGN.
LONDON, July 4.-The results of the pre-
liminary election which took place during the
past week to fill the vacancies caused by the
change in the ministry, have rather alarmed
the liberals. They were beginning to feel
sure of the easy victory in the coming general
election, but have no more than held their
own in the special p~ollings, and have not in
creased their majorities in such hotlv contest
ed boroughs as Wakefield and Woodstock.
Liberal election agents in many precincts
have sent in Encouraging reports about the.
outlook. They say the agricultural votes are
falling away from the liberal interest and that.
laborers appear Indifferent about taking
advantage of the England Franchise.
these agents further declare that in the most,
rural regions Of England both agricultural
laborers and workingmen this year especially
are under the influence or control of local
squires and parsons. This is accounted for
by the fact that times have for q long period
past been unusually hard and that these class
of voters are under more ordinary obligations
to their employers and patrons, the tquires,
parsons, farmers and local officials, nearly all
of whom are conservatives, and with bright
party prospects before them are e~xsrting all
their influence to retain coutrol of British
political affairs,
