the country in recognizing defeat as decisive Tor the
moment and in expressing the belief that the i'll

3nld best he served by the resi- gnaton of the Gov
eminent rs soon as the elections are practically
completed. Mr.. Gladstone arrives IN London to-
night with spirits and health unbroken.
As tor the new Ministry no decision can hc taken,
no authoritative word spoken, while Lord Sails
bury is at L0yat and Lord Randolph Churchill is
killing salmon in Norway; but an animated DIS
cu,sion has already begun. The Times wants a Hart
ington-Salisbury Government. The standard and
other Tory organs insist that the victory IS with the
Conservatives and that the Ministry should be
Conservative. They will welcome Lord Harrington
and other Unonists as colleagues, but think that
the leadership belongs to Lord Salisbury. But this
is not the main poAt. The strongest efforts are
making to induce Lord Harrington, Mr.. Goschcn
and even Nil Chamberlain to cast IN their lot with
the Tories and to accept office IN Ministry nom
inally Coalition, but really Conservative. he Tory
managers hopo IL this way to complete .he final
disruption Of the Liberal party. They get no ell
c cluraeement thus far from any one of the Liberal
Uniouists. Nothing Lord Harrington has said in
public indicates that he has abandoned hope of the
ultimate reunion Of the Liberal party.
The question of the Irish policy of the future
Ministry oilers perplexitles far more serious. Lord
IIartingtOns speech on Monday at Derby after his
election showed him to be profoundly impressed
with the responsibilities he has assumed, and con-
vuced that this is not the end, but the beginning
OF long struggle.
The elections since Saturday have shown con-
tinuOus Conservative gains. 1t is certain that
the Conservatives without the Unionists will not
have majority. With the unonsts their maiori-
ty promises considerably to exceed 100 The pub
lie therefore has ceased to take keen interest in
the returns except where important seats are
gained lost. Lord Earingtons victory at
Rossendale w9s cordially welcomed. Even the
Gladstonans would have regretted his defeat for
Lord Hartingtons conduct in the campaign has cx-
torted admiration and respect from his opponents.
Sir George Treveyan's defeat is only explicable
by the Scottish devotion to Mr. Gladstone reailrm-
ed throughout Scotland. Sir George Trey elyan's
long and brilliant services were all forgotten when
Dir. Gladstone asked his constituents to reject him.
Joseph Archs defeat deprves the agricultural la
