TORIES GAINING IN ENGLAND.
The returns from the English counties
show large gains for the Conservatives,
who are winning some OF the county
divisions by sweeping majorities. Such
is the case in North Cambridgesmre,
North Shropshire, West Somerset
shire and Northeast and Southwest War
wickshire, in all OF which the Tories have
won seats held by Liberals in the last
House. The Tories have also
taken Carnarvon from the Liberals

gained AZ seats, the UniOnists ,, Glad
stonians 1S, and Parnellites l. Liberal
candidate Williamson carried Kilmar-
mock, Scot, where, because of split in
the Liberal party, the Tories elected Pro
vOst ShurrOck at the last election. James
Rankin, Conservative, won LeOminsteT
division of HeretOrdshire by majority of
nearly 1000. Tbe LeOminster returns
were the first pub blished from the county
elections to-day, and the result caused
profound excitement among the Tories
all over England. 5. Waddy, Gladstonian,
carried BrIgg division of Lincolnshire by
q majority of over 900. This news, pub
lished alongside OF the Tory victory in
Leominster, put the Liberals in gloom.
THE LAST HOPE GONE.
The last hope of the Gadstonian vote in
the counties has failed. The English
counties are going Unionist. The cOun-
ties OF Somerset, Warwick, Hereford,
Derby, Denbigh and Shropshire, in which
centres the agricultural vote, have re-
turned Conservatives. Scotland con-
tlnues GladsLonian. Numerous county
polls have not yet been taken, but it is
impossible TO reverse the defeat of the
government. The Uni0nists are confident
of an ultimate strength Of 80 against 800.
'Fhe Conservatives are certain that with
a compact phalanx OF 800 members, Lord
Salisbury will form purely Conservative
Ministry.
