Socialists Claim that Their Efforts Brought
About Liberal Victory.
NEW YORK, March 20.-The Tribune's
London correspondent says: 1T has now
been discovered that socialism had some
thing to do with the Liberal victory in
Remington. John Burns claims it as q
victory of his own Trafalgar-square fanat-
les. who never can get over or admit their
defeat. They announce it as the herald of
London commune. Anarchy itself is to
lift it's head because local distiller had
$50 votes more than Lord Salisbury's car
pet-bag nephew. Remington said an
out-spoken Liberal, once a colleague of Mr..
Gladstone, has this advantage-it enables
us to kick the Ministry. We can attack
them on every subject. Had we lost Ken
nington, they would have flung it in our
faces every time we cried ''Piggott." Now
we can cry Piggott as much as we like
Such are the high politics of the moment in
England"
The Tory press have probably exhausted
their stock of reasons for the Remington
defeat, or are desirous of ignoring the sub
ject so much as is possible. 1t must be-
confessed that they exhibit courage, or,
perhaps one might say obstinancy. in the
enlightenment of their portion of the Brit
ish public as to its duties and the placid
profession of belief in the speedy return of
the strayed sheep, who have deserted, the
UniOnist flock. The Standard was perhaps
the most frank in its grief at Mr.. BeaufOy's
election, but called attention to that ceIi-
tleman's personal popularity and the TACT
that he is an employer of large number Of
men, nearly if not quite all of whom would
naturally vote for him.
The intimatiOn that many members of the
United States Congress and officials hold
ing responsible positions under that gov
ernment have given quasi-indOrsement
to the cause represented by Mr.. Parnell
and champiOned by Mr.. Gladstone as q ref
utation of the statement that none but
the Irish mob in the great.cities and those
who solicit their votes sympathiZe with
home rule has created considerable discus
sion here and in the provinces. The Con-
hand of Mr.. Blaine in the Objectionable
measure and charitably fear for the future
of the Nation which has intrusted him
with the helm of state. They are also
vexed if not indignant at what they regard
as meddling Obstrusiveness, and cite it as
another instance of ''the boOrishness which
republican institutions" '.To be sure"
one of them remarks, 'some members of the
British Parliament openly sympathized
with the cOnfederates during the American
civil war, but it would have been impossi-
BILE to have obtained the signatures of a
great majority of that body to an address
of encouragement to General Lee during
the progress of hostilities.o
The Chronicle sarcastically alludes to the
refusal of Mayor Grant to veto the flag
raising edict of the New York Board of AL
derman. and the subsequent appearance of
the Irish flag on the City Hall on Monday
and contrasts his course with the s.manly
independence" of Mayor Hewitt during his
tenure of Office, not at all to the advantage
of the former official
