LONDON. NV. Tho result Of the Cork cleo

Their a<tual poll Of Nationalists was less than
2O00. Tor fully 200 Tories voted for Redmond.
IsssAvenine the Tories went about boasting
thstthey had pollod more than thcy did at the
hA contested election In 1856. Il II shown
x-day that their candidate received 295 fewer
votes than In 1885 They do not attempt TO
deny to-day that probably $50 Of the vanished
votes that were certainly polled were given 10
Redmond.
1t lis certain that tho result. Of the election
will convince many Psrnellitcs Of the error Of
their ways, and It is probable that some NOM
bsrs Of the Parliamentary minority will gladly
make IL IN excuse for returning to thoir al
Iseiance. No difficulties will be placed In their
way. for It 10 the earnest desire of william
OBrien and his colleagues to win back BY
gentle means as many prod!gals as possible
before the general election: but to those who
remain recaleitrant no mercy will DO shown.
Itmust be remembered that the majority Of
the minority have taken no part In the bitter
strife which has been going on since Parnsll
died. They took the step which seemed to
them to be best In the interests OF the country
and then wisely held their peace These are
the men for whom the door has been kert open
and to whom the interdiot given By Cork should
irresistibly appeal.
John Redmond is now In . ludiorous posi-
tlop. Had he won Cork he would have been
formally selected leader Of the irTeconcilables.
That was the psice which he exaoted before re-
signing bis seat at Wexford In order to lead
the torlorn hope; but his ambition has over
leaped itself. He has grasped the shadow and
lost the substance. He will probably ask Wsx-
ford to take him back. but he will DO beaten
again. Nationslists there have already se-
lected their candidate, and there II no reason
to fear that Wexford will 60 wrong where
Cork went right John Redmond is destined
to bs q political Wandering Jew until the
general election. and 1t is difficult to sec
whero he will find seat even then.
