MIR. Goschen's defeat in Edinburgh is tue one drop
Of hahn amid all this Ministerial anguish. Disre-
spectful wits in the London clubs declare that
when Mr. Gladstone heard that MI Goschen was
beaten he went out III the park at Hawarden ana
cut down four trees-sOme accounts say hve' MT.
Goschen had committed the unpardonable sin OF
opposing Mr. Gladstone in Midlothian IL
self No stone was left unturned that
could be flung at this presumptuous invader
Mr. Gladstones personal attack Mr.. Goschen
exceeded IN bitterness all the invectives he has
launched at other Libcral-Unionists. His Edln-
burch friends seconded him in similar spirit Mr..
Goschen has spoken throughout the canvass III the
face of organized opposition. No hostile influence
has been wanting Mr. Gladstoncs immense per-
soma authority IN Edinburgh has won the day.
What be calls the capital of dear old Scotland has
chosen three Gladstonians to one Unionlst. Edln-
burgh. which once rejected Macaulay. now REJECTS
Mr. Goschen. The Scotch Athens prefers you shonld
take her intellectual measure not from Mr. Goschen
but from Mr. Childers. She selects Mr. CnildeIs as
her most fitting representative and perhaps he is.
Mr Morey's really brilliant victory
at Newcastle rejoices the Gladstonians
less than Mr.. Goschens defeat. Mr.. Morley, who
has stated tl~ case for Home Rule more openly
and lucidly than anybody else. has increased his
actual vote. The Increase of his majority brought
in his colleague on his shoulders. Newcastle is one
of the very few important boroughs wlerc the
Ministeriasts more than hold their own. Frank
ness sometimes succeeds better than mystlGcation.
The vote IN the boroughs continues as rule
light The managers say that this is because the
election was fought on the old register The
falling off amounted TO over one-sixth of the
Ministerial vote anl to one tWenty-iifth of the
Un0nist vote till yesterday, when the UniOnists be-
gan TO increase their vote. The rule Is that the
Mmisieralisis win bv reduced majoritIes and
the Conservatives and Unionists by increased
majorities The register hardly accounts for thi s
difference.
Mr.. Glaistone's electioneering style does not i'm
prove under defeat. IAN advertising firm Of tea
dealers III London cOmmends It's tea drunk by
dukes and earls. Does WarwicKshire," cries Mr.
Gladstone, " wish dukes and earls to overrule the
Nation I" The numb of these dangerous persons
much exceeds that set down in the peerage. They
now appear to constitute majority in the bor-
oughs and throughout the Kingdom IN the propor-
ton of five TO three. There was one constituency
Chester. where the influence of duke was directly
Ptted against Mr.. Gladstone Eaton against Ha-
warden; aud Eaton won The Dnke of Westminster
