concerning the various contest.
Throughout SEQ land;
An my information shows that the
GladsioL isns OF Aberdee nshire will
carry the day. II anyone is likely to

part Of the country. Argylshire was
repre- senttd in the last House by Mr.,
McFarlan, n Roman Cath Ole, who is
identlfa ed with the croiters' agitation
and has, therefore, strorg hold on
the working classes OF the snire. This
is McCsllum Moore's county, but the
Duke nj A'gyl hrs ceased TO be a
political power in II, his determined
hostility TO I'll land law reform having
placed him in direct aniagonism with
the clan Of which it is the titular
head. Argylshire will be contested
by Col. Malcolm, better known as POI
talock, a Conservative and resident
lard cd
In ordinary circumstances PSttalock
would not havs the slightest chance,
but he has now all that remains OF
Argyls interest and the villa res dents
OF DunvGn and such Glasgow watering
places may he suppose to be
largely in his favor think
he has fair prospscs Of
euccess. In Ayrshire the Getting
candidate is Elliott, q cadet OF ths
MiLts family and pronounced Union
ist Liberal, As yet he has no op.
porent snd it is not probable thai he
will have one. In South Ayrshire
the sitting member is Home Ruler
and his Conservative opponent is
likely 10 win the seat. The Ayrel bugs
are likely 10 run in the same
direction. Bsnilshire hss bsen
represented by member of
the government, Mr. Duff, who
is opposed 10, but is likely to retain
his seat. Be wickshire gave a seat at
the last election to Majoribank, one
OF Gadstone's whips, who will have
q hard struggle to prevent X. II. e.
lott from taking his place. Bu'eshire
ought 10 remain intne hands Of the
Conservatives. CNihHss Is a croftsrs
county, and naturally GOES for
home rule. Clackmanan has
been represented by the Lord
Advocate, who is very popular

Falkkerburgers will probably go
