LONDON, Feb 24-The true inwardness of
the defeat of the Liberal candidate in parlia-
mentary election for the Doncaster division of
the West Riding of Yorkshire, is by no means
difficult of discovery. There is no more pig
headed man on earth than the Yorkshiremau,

be to turn the wind from its course. The only
thing to be done with him is to permit him.

his striking the right point OF the COMPASS when
he has gathered forces for another blast With
their characteristic doggedness the Yorkshire
electors are as slow in returning to allegiance to
the Liberal party as they were in deserving that
organization. The vote polled unusually
heavy, and both sides show considerable gain.
The Liberals profess to see the of the I'm
ionist success In wholesale corruption and brib-
cry, and the direct and powerful
pressure of class influence, but they will find
it an extremely difficult matter to prove
the charges they freely make in denouncing the
tactics of their opponents. They do not how
ever attempt to conceal their surprise and re-
gret at the result while the astonishment of the
Tories is great that they havs not yet suffi-
ciently recovered their breath TO indulge in the
