toral struggle between the GladStoniteS and
the Unionists ended to-day by the utter rout
of the latter in the parliamentary district
known as the Lethburghs. Mr.. w. Jacks
was returned to the last parliament as
regular Liberal by a majority of $3.50, in
total poll of S, $40 votes. He opposed the
home rule bill. but was nevertheless consid-
cred invncible in the district, and was NOM
mated in the present canvass as UnioniSt

Irish policy. Mr.. Jacks hostility to Mr..
Gladstone angered thousands of the Scotch
men of Leith, but they looked upon their
opposition to him as hopeless, and were
unable to obtain candidate to oppose him,
all those mentioned for the seat having de-
clined to run. The Tories, in order to en-
phasize the Unionist opposition to the
premier, withheld opposition, and left the
field clear to Mr.. Jacks, SO that he might
go back to the house of commons with
largely increased majority.
AT THE LAST HOUR
allowed by the law the Liberal leaders
nominated Mr.. Gladstone himself as their
candidate, the premier consenting. Thus
equipped the Gladstonites went at their
work. This was so effective that Mr..
Jacks became scared and withdrew from

two seats in Scotland. He will perhaps
choose to sit for the latter, and select re-
liable Liberal to reconteSt Leith, with an
assurance of success. Mr.. Parnell and Mr..
Maurice Heath (Panellite) have been re-
elected to represent Cork city in the house
of commons. They were not opposed.

Mr.. Quin was elected for Kilkenny and

ties who undertook to contest the two seats
belonging to Dublin university against the
Rt. Hon. David Plunkett and Rt Hon.
Hugh S. Holmes, both Conservatives, who
held them in the last parliament and were
nominated for them in the next, were
jeered to-day whenever they went by the
students of the university. The latter at

trict, which is a great Tory stronghold.
Mr.. Plunkett. however, prevented the out
rage. The Parnellites stood their ground
and made a plucky contest, although the
students and Tories thWarted every atfort
on the part Of the candidates to make
speeches by drowning their voices with
groans and boots. Mr.. Sarsfeld's scarlet
gown was pulled away from him, and torn
into small pieces. The students threw
rotten eggs at Johnston and Sarsfeld The
Conservative candidates vainly begged that
the Nationalist candidates be given fair
hearing. The students, singing 'sGod
Save the Queen" kept up an

declared Plunkett and Holmes elected. A
poll. however. was demanded, and the pro-
vost ordered that poll be taken next
week. Mr.. Gladstone has telegraphed as
follows to Thomas O'Connor.
Ishall watch your combat in Liverpool with
great interest. l hope Liberals will vote to a
man for supporting the all-important and alb
sorbing policy of the government.
Mr.. Chamberlain writes:
do not believe the Tories are pledged to
coercion. l believe the Tory leaders are will
ing to go much further in the direction of
local government for Ireland than hitherto.

believe the democracy had gone mad. He
did not think the people of England, out of
pure gaity of heart, would run vast risk.
Mr.. Parnell was unable to say that the
mongrel self-government offered to Ireland
would effect final settlement. Continu-

the assassin, he asked. Would they let
the sceptre of dominion fall from their
grasp.
