REDMOND'S VICTORY.
McCarthyites Discouraged by th
Result in Waterford.

Result in Waterford.
DUBLIN, Dec. 24.-During the election
in Waterford yesterday the Mccarthy
ties were confident OF victory, even 60
ing SO far as to say how much their ma
JOrity would be. The official announce
ment, however, shows that the Parnell-
ties have won the seat, and they are
cOrrespondingly jubilant. The returns
of the election show that John E. Red
mOnd, Parnellite. received 1,775 votes,
and Michael Davitt. McCarthyite. 1929,
a majority of $40 votes for the ParnelI-
tie candidate.
The announcement of the official fig
ures was followed by a scene of the
widest enthusiasm. The ParnelIites
shouted, waved their sticks ana in
every way gave vent to their jubilaIft
feeling. The McCarthyites were CORE
spondingly depressed at the defeat. In
seeOnding the customary vote of thanks
to the sheriff Mr.. David took occasion
TO add that he would rather lose an
election than win by combined terror
Ism and rOwdyiSm.
This remark provoked a most up
roariOus Outburst of protest from the
Parnellites, and for time it looked as
though the official canvass would end in
a free fight. Mr.. Redmond's supporters
were fairly wild with indig-
nation at this insult to their
leader and themselves. They yelled
and hooted at MIR. Davitt, and some of
the more hot-headed shook their fists in
his face and threatened him with all
sorts of dire punishment. Amid the
noise and confusion he heard cries of
''shame'' and coward" and for time
the position of the defeated candidate
was very precarious, when the police
interceded, and by threats and free
use of physical force succeeded IN re-
storing something like order. The feel
ings of the Parnellits were very bitter,
and when Mr.. Davtt withdrew he was
escorted to his hotel by number OF DO
lice.
The news of the extent of the Par
nellite victory had spread throughout
the city and the streets were filled with
people who were absolutely wild with the
excitement of success, relieving them
selves by uttering wild huZzas and in
other ways showing their full apprecIa-
ton of the political chastiSement theyhad
inflicted upon their opponents. SomeUf
the paraders had secured swords, and
as they marched they brandished their
naked weapons in an exceedingly care
less manuer. which struck terror into
the hearts of the byStanders. 1t was
not a good opportunity to advance Nc
Carthyite arguments.
Mr.. Redmond declared that the cleo
ton in Waterford would be historic.
The result had shed honor and lustre on
the city. 1t was sad. he said. that Mr..
Parnell had not lived to see the glorious
vindication given his policy by the cleo
tors of Waterford.
Both Redmond and Davitt left Water
ford this afternoon and started for Dub
lin a detachment of huSSarS escorted
Mr.. Davitt to the railway station, where
he was offered no moleStation. Mr..
Redmond was escorted by large num-
Der of his supporters, who had engaged
the services of several bands Of music,
which Oil the way to the station played
The Boys of Wexford"
1t is now believed to be certain that
the followers of the late Mr.. Parnell. as
represented under the leadership of
Mr.. Redmond, will win a number of
other seats and be able to maintain
themselves as distinct party for some
time to come. As announced yeSter-
day. the ParnelliteS had been driven
into their last entrenchment, into the
last ditch, but they rallied n0bly, fought
with the most grim determination and
| have handsomely routed their enemies.
John Dillon announced at Waterford
| Thursday last that ii Waterford re-
turned the Parnellite candidate he
would feel bound to tell his countrymen
| that there was no longer any hope in
constitutional legislation. and that he
| himself should retire to private lite.
| People are now asking then selves if
| MIR. Dillon will keep his word, and ru-
NOR has it that should lie do so other
| prominent Irish members of parliament
may follow his example. This. it is
added. might pave the way towards Il
| reconciliation between the eontending
| factions, and gives birth to the hope
| that the Irish parliamentary parry will
| be reunited in the near future.
The Irish Tory papers are delighted
! with the result at Waterford. The Bel
| fast Telegraph exultiHgly declares that
| il is not EcdmOnd'S victory but Dayitt' )
