OF most OF these contests VIII be known
tomorrow. The active stumping OF the
Unlonists Is sapping the strength Of the
Gladstone vote in the farming districts.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-The out
look in the counties is becoming worse
on the Gladstone side. The Ministerial
party can have little hope of holding its
own, yet IL must win mauv seats in order
TO escape disastrous defeat"
Mr.. GOschen's defeat is attributed TO
the local popularity OF his opponent, Mr..
wallace. The latter has been professor
in Edinburgh College, minister at Grey
Friars and editor OF the Scotsman. He is
now barrlster. Mr.. Goschen VIII con-
test Leith if Mr.. Gladstone elects to sit
Tor Midlothian. The Liberals are alarmed
lest the Conservatives obtain IAN inde-
pendent working majority.
sALIsBURY's FINAL MANIFESTO.
Lord Salisbury has contributed to the
Quarterly Review an unsigned article
which has been eagerly awaited as his
final manifesto. The author does not,
however, state the Irish policy of the
Conservatives. He indicts Mr.. Gladstone
as persistent political apostate, discard
ing by Wholesale doctrines solemnly adv0-
Gated, and adopting totally new doctrines
whenever the shifting wind of popular
favor seems to call for them" He states
that he once heard Cornall Lewis say that
II Mr.. Gladstone should ever become
Premier he would lead the Liberal party
10 perdiuon. Referring to Mr.. Chamber
lain. the author declares it childish TO
think that the Conservatives and Radicals
Will continue to act together, except in
union against separation. In conclusion
he says: Nv Whether Mr.. Gladstone sue
ceeds or fails in his present enterprise, ne
Will still leave a legacy of woe to the
country. If his plans be carried, civil war
Will be certain as surely as
an explosion follows the application OF a
torch to a magazine. Foreign war il also
possible. II his plans be rejected we
shall forthwith pass into the most critical
stage of Irish and English history"
The Conservatives have gained Ports
mouth and Monmouth and the Gladstoni-
ans have gained Wednesbury, The totals
now are: Conservatives 210, Uuionists AZ,
Gladstonians %, Parnellltes 40.
ALMOST A RIOT.
DUBLIN, July Ga riot followed the
first announcement OF the result of the
contest between Messrs. Lewis and Nc
Carthy at Londonderry to-day. The
cause OF the disturbance was the dis
cOVerY after the election bad been an
nOunced in favor of Mr.. Lewis of a ballot
box, the contents OF which had not been
counted. A recount followed which almost
made the election tie, giving 1T to Mr..
Lewis by a majority OF only 3. Police
intertered and attacked the Loyalsts who
had assembled in front of the hotel where
Mr.. Lewis was staying and were making
demonstration in celebration Of his VIC
tory. A large number of persons were
injured. There was much excitement in
the city over the affair.
CLUBMEN BLAMED.
The riot at the Conservative Workmen's
club house here last evening was provoked
by men in the club, and they committed
nearly all the breaches OF order. A
Catholic procession passed the club house,
which was crowded with men at the time.
They attacked the procession with bottles.
This attack was answered with threats
and some stones. The club people
then literally showered bottles at the
procession, and also fired number
of shots into 1t from revolyers. The
police surrounded the house, getting
control OF the premises, and finally ar
rested 20 OF the inmates. 1t has not yet
been ascertained how many CT the many
prOcessiOnists were hurt, but three OF the
injured Catholics were in a dying condi-
tiOn this morning, and twenty others were
lying helpless IN hospitals, all suffering
from wounds inflicted by bottles or bull
let's. There Is a general feeling Of indig-
nation against the Orangemen OF the club
on account of the attack.
A STORY OF THE ATTACK.

was seen by an Associated Press reporter
In the hospital to-day and asked for a his

cessiondOwn York street, when suddenly
and without the slightest prOvocation a
lot of bottles crashed down upon us

with bottles was kept up continuously
for long time until the police
formed Gordon around the club
house and got the upper hand of the in
mates. The clubmen did not stop at bot
ties. They shot revolvers at US also. The
people in the street retorted as well as
they could with stones and such other
missiles as they could find, and in this way
smashed the club house windows. A Dot
tie struck me in the ribs and then bullet
pierced my thigh. l fell to the ground.
This was just as the police stormed the
building. l was afterwards carried 10 u

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
LONDON, July 7, 8 A. M.-The Daily
News (Liberal) says: sit would be alb
surd TO ignore the fact that in the bor-
Dughs, especially In London, the govern
ment has lost fairly. The moral TO be
1educed from the defeat is that the electors
require time In which to digest home
rule"
The Standard Conservative says: "It
Is impossible for anything TO happen in
the rural districts TO convert Gladstone's
