ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE RECoRD-uNIoN.l
Political AfIairs in Great Britain.
LONDON, July 2d.-The most desperate
electoral struggle between the Gladstone
ties and Unionists ended to-day by the
utter rout of the latter in the Parliament
airy district known as Leithborough. W.
Jacks was returned to the last Parliament
as the regular Liberal by a majority OF
$3.50 in a total poll of $40 votes. He
opposed the home rule bill, but was, never
theless, considered invincible in his dis
trict, and was nominated in the present
canvass as q Unionist, to continue his oppo-
sition to the Premier's Irish policy. Jacks
hostility to Gladstone angered thousands
of Scotchmen of Leith, but they looked
upon their opposition to him as hopeless
and were unable to obtain a candidate to
oppose him. all those mentioned for the
seat having declined to run. The Tories,
in order to emphasize the Unionist opposi-
tiIp to the Premier, withheld opposition
and left the field clear to Jacks, so he might
go back to the House with a largely in
creased majority. At the last hour allowed
by law, the Liberal managers nominated
Gladstone himself as their candidate, the
Premier consenting. Thus equipped the
Gladstoneites went at their work. This
was so soon effective that Jacks became
scared and withdrew from the field, leav
ing the Leith membership to Gladstone,
who was elected without opposition. This,
with the Midlothian district, gives the
Premier two seats in Scotland. He will
perhaps choose to sit for the latter and
select a reliable man to recontest Leith
with assurances of success.
Parnell receives letters every day men,
acing him with injury or assassination for
his efforts TO "dismember the Empire"
He has not, however, solicited police pro-
lection nor called public attention to his
perilous position. He is escorted every
where he goes in his campaign work by
bodyguard of personal friends, all stalwart
young Irishmen, who say they feel person
ally able to take care of him and of them
selves.
