LONDON, July 6.-The tide of Unionist success
is unabated The London divisions are going
wholly Unionist All FOUR seats in Islington,
hitherto Radical stronghold, have returned
Unionsts. In the working-class districts of
lower Hampton, five Unionists aud two Glad
stonians have been returned. Elections were
held to-day in twenty four county-seats. The
results in most of these contests will be known
tomorrow. The active stumping of the Union
lists is 1sapping the strength of the Gladstonian
vote in the farming districts
The Pail Mall Gazette says "The outlook in
the counties is becoming worse on the Gladston-
ian side. The Ministerial party can have but
little hope of holding its own, yet it must win
many seats in order to escape disastrous de-
feat.n
The Right Hon. George j. Goschen, one of
Mr.. Gladstone's bitterest URionist opponents,
has been defeated in the east division of Edin-
burgh by Mr.. Wallace, the Gladstone candidate
by a majority of 1889 in total poll of 5, 937
In the last election Mr.. Goschen was elected as
Liberal by majority of 2,408 in total vote
of $780, then Mr.. Goschen received 4, 337 votes.
This time ho poled but 2,249.
Mr. J. Wilson, Unionist, has been defeated in
the central division of Edinburgh.
Mr.. Goschen's defeat is attributed to the local
popularity Of his opponent, Mr. Wallace. The
litter has been professor in an Edinburgh
college, minister at Grey Friars, and editor of
the Scotsman. He is now barrister. Mr..
Goschen will contest Leith if Mr.. Gladstone
elects to sit for Midlothian.
The totals now are: Conservatives, 2l0; I'm
ionists, 43; Gladstonians, 80; Parnellites 43.
Joseph Chamberlain to-day addressed 5000
electors at Llannelly. Wales. He implored them
to refuse 10 submit to rupture of the union
and outrage-mongers. He likened the land
purchase scheme to the Emma mine and the
Honduras bonds schemes. He said that Glad
stone had become man of mystery springing
concealed designs and shattering his party He
urged the electors not to consent to be ruled
from America.
Lord Salisbury has contributed to the Quarter
ly Review an unsigned article, which has been
eagerly awaited as his final manifesto. The au-
thor does not, however. state the Irish policy of
the Conservatives. He indicts Mr. Gladstone as
"a persistent political apostate, discardng by
adopting totally new doctrines whenever the
shifting winds of popular favor seem to cali for
them He states that he once heard
Cornwall Lewis say that if Mr.. Gladstone
should ever become Premier he would lead
the Liberal party to perdition. Referring to Mr..
Chamberlain the author declares it childish to
| think that the Conservatives and Radicals will
continue to act together except in union against
separation In conclusion. he says: Whether
Mr. Gladstone succeeds or fails in his present en-
terprise, he will still leave legacy of woe to the
country. If his plans be carried, civil war will
be certain, as surely as an explosion follows the
application of the torch to the magazine A for
eign war is also possible. If his plans he re-
jected, we shall forthwith pass into the most
critical stage of Irish and English history"
Mr.. Gladstone has telegraphed to the Liberals
of Edinburgh congratulating them on having
secured the seat belonging to the central division
from j. Wilson, Unionisr, and that belonging to
to the east division from Mr. Goschen. The
Premier's telegram reads: II rejoice that the
capital of dear old Scotland has shaken off the
chains, and once more spoken with voice
whose sound will ring throughout the land on
mob of Unionists to-day tore down green
homerule flag which was hanging from the win
dows of priests house at Brigg, Lincolnshire.
