LONDON. July Negotiations between
Lord darlington and Lord Salisbury are in
progress. 1t is reported that Lord Har-
tington has pledged himself to support
Lord Salisbury's local government bill and
to reject all approaches of Mr.. Gladstone.
If Mr.. Gladstone remains in Office the first
move Of the Unionists will be vote of
want Of confidence. In speech fore
shadoWing the Conservative policy, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach said that the first
measure would be to suppress the Irish
National League and suspend Irish OBJ
StructiOnistS. Mr.. Gladstone has written
letter to Dr.. 3. W. Foster, in which he
says that he considers the Duke of West
minister's opposition to DR.. Fosters candi-
dacy for parliament in Chester a fresh blow
struck at the aristocraoy
The Gladstonites have won another con-
ISOLATION stake to-day. They have defeated
Albert Gray in the Lyneside division of
Northumberland, electiIg w. B. Beau
mont in his place.
MIR. GRAY WAS SPECIALLY OBNOXIOUS,
tor he served as one of the whips of the
Harrington Unionists and was the only
Northumbrian Liberal who deserted the
ministry in the home-rule diusiOn. Elected
last year by a majority 2, 352, he is now de-
feated by counter majority of 1872, though
in this contest he was supported by some
8, 900 Tory votes that were cast
against him last year. Three-fourths
of the > Liberal voters cast their
ballots for Mr. Beaumont. Both Of the
harrington Wings have been given leave to
stay at home. Mr.. Brand, Mr.. Gray's as
sOciate in the Office, was defeated at Cardiff
last Wednesday. 1t must be said, how

his fortunes in new field. Had he come
forward again at Stroud he would have won
back his seat, for his old constituency
turned from Liberalism that Friday and
elected Conservative by a rousing ma
jority. In addition to carrying a Unionist
seat at Tyneside, the Gladstonites have
reelected Mir. McInnis in the HeXham
division Of Northumberland and Thomas P.
Price in North Monmouthshire. On the other
side the Conservatives have added two
names to their list. Joseph Howard goes
back to Westminster from the Tottenham
division Of Middlesex and Hon. Murray
Finch Hattcn, brother Of the ead of
Winchelsea. is reelected from the Spalding
division CT Lincolnshire where he again de-
feated his old antagonist HALEY Stewart.
The Lincolnshire constituency is very
close one and the GladstoniteS were hope
full OF carrying it but the Wing and Tory
combination was too much for them. Five
hundred and eighty-two elections have
been heard from and the Tories maintain a
clear majority of two

Unionists have moiority of 131 over the

vote. The Conservatives have plurality
