GLADSTONE NOT GAINING.
CONSERVATIVES AND UNIONISTS
HOLDING THEIR LEAD.

A4CNbONS Oulg Os~-aL q u ClOCh bhib
afternoon 120 Tories, % Unionists, AZ
Liberals and II Parnellites had been
elected to the House of Commons.
Both political parties are disappointed
at tho present results of the elections.
The Tories, to use the expression of Lord
Randolph Churchill, were ''cocksure" of
making greater headway than they have
achieved. The Liberals profess TO be gain
ing in spirit. They point out that although
the Tories have made net gain of two,
yet the GladstoneiIes won Carlisle and
Leith against the Unionists, which prac-
ucally makes the battle so far a draw.
Edward Henegie, one o { the most prOmi-
nent Liberals who seeded from Mr..
Gladstone's support and resigned as
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster on
April :, upon the occasion OF the intro
ductlon of the home rule bill, was re-
elected to-day from Grimbsy, Lincoln
shire, as a Unionist. His majority was
300 against Sl4 at the last election.
T. X. Condin, Parnellite, has been
elected without opposition in the east
division of Tipperary county.
THE IRISH VOTE IN ENGLAND.
AZ 80 O'Clock this afternoon l23 Tories,
% Unionists, AZ Liberals and l. Parnelites
L Il
pointing to the result of the elections so far
as they have gone, says: "The Irish vote
In England has failed to work the won
ders promised for it by L. L. O'COnnOr.
tie declared that the Irish vote would be
the decisive factor in seventeen OF the
English constituencies. Yesterdays poll
Ings. however, show in the net result that
The Irish turned the scale in but two
places in favor of the Liberals, leaving
the others unaltered."
PARNELLITE SUCCESSES.
Henry George Gill, Parnellite, has been
reelected for Limerick city unopposed.
d. Sullivan, Parnellite, has been re-
elected in the south division of West
meath. In the Deptford { Kent and sur
rey counties) dlstrlct, where Lalmohun
Chose Parse, merchant, ran as
Gladstonian against William
John Evelyn, Conservative, the
latter wen by majority of 627. In the
last election the same candidates con-
tested the district, and Mr.. Evelyn's ma
jority was then but 367. In the former
election, however, the Tories polled 1927
votes, while in this they cast but 1852, a
falling away OF 295. The Liberal vote tell
away still more, being this time 3,055, or
503 less than 1t was in the last election,
when it amounted to $500.
Deptford was looked forward to by both
parties as the best test case in the elec-
tiOns in this week, but with the enor-
mously increased interest in the issue at
stake the total vote fell off TAO. The gene
raj conclusion is that Deptf0rd proved
nothing, unless that while a number OF
Liberals in the district opposed home rule
for Ireland in the shape offered by Mr..
Gladstone, they by no means favor the
policy OF coercion proposed by Lord Sails
bury, and simply retrained from voting,
the same as a number of Tories did who
are weary of coercion but not in favor OF
Irish Independence.
CONSERVATIVES GAIN.
Hon. r. Winn, Conservative, has been
elected over Fleming, Gladstonian, IN
Pontefract, West Riding, Yorkshire, by
majority of 209, an Increase ia The Tory
majority in the last election OF l73. In the
present election the total vote in the dis
trict fell away SO from the total vote
polled at the last election, but the Tory
vote increased 40 while the Liberal vote
declined 128. The total number OF
votes recorded in the first days
polling was: Gladstonian 235, ,063, Con-
servative 227 ,593, UnIonist 1889,
Nationalists 2,91l. Kilson. Giadstoneite,
who was defeated by Gerald William Bal
10, is dissatisfied With the count and de-
mands a scrutiny OF the poll. Mr.. Bal
four carried the district at the last cleo
tion by a majority of 3l4. j. K. Fox, Par
nellite, has been reelected for Tuilamore
division of Kings county; =. Mcdonald,
Parnellite, for the North division of Sligo;

and Joseph Nolan, Parnellite, for North
Louth. All Of these latter were uuop-
posed.

Boston, Grantham. Stafford, Salisbury,
East Birmingham, Kidderminster, Aston
Manor, Oldham and South Nottingham.
In Scar borough the election went against
the MinisteTalists. There were many

PARNELL ON THE STUMP.
Mr.. Parnell addressed an outdoor
meeting at Hackney tonight in sup
port OF Sir Charles RusselPs candi-
dature. Fully 10000 persons were pres
ent. In the course OF Dis remarks
MIR. Parnell said: "Lord Salisbury
and Lord Randolph Churchill staked
their last change in November last. 1t is
now said that the Irish question is not
ripe for settlement. Never was there
more disgraceiul instance Of political
turpitude and treachery. Mr.. Gladstone
has Been called traitor, but Lord Sails
bury was surely greater traitor when
he was prepared TO do what Mr.. Gladstone
mad done, not because he Salisbury was
anxious TO send message Of peace 10
Ireland, but for the ignOble purpose OF
catching the Irish vote"
GRANDMOTHER BRIGHT.
Continuing, Mr.. Parnel said that Mr..
Brights scheme was grandmotherly. Mr..
Butt had made a similar proposition, and
when Mr.. Parnell asked MIN why he made
IL MIR. Butt replied that be did so with u
view of bringing about "a final settlement,
because every bill passed by the Grand
Committee and killed in the House of
Commons or House 0t Lords would be a
standing argument in favor of home rule.
