ment Certain influential Conservatives in constant
communication with the electoral headquarters are
pressing Lord Salisbury 10 remodel the Cabinet and to
dissolve Parliament at They plead that the
strength OF the GladStOnian reaction IS growing CON
stantly and that another years delay will probably
result in an overwhelming Liberal majority. These
tactical reasons have shaken Lord Salisbury and Mr.

reconstruction Of the Cabinet depends upon Mr. Smiths
