TORONTO, ONT. March 6.-The En-
pjrc Government organ sums up the
result of yesterdays election as fol-
/ lows:
Conservatives elected, l2j; ReformerS
/ elected, 81; majority for the COnSerya-
/ tiveS, -, with seven seats still 10 be
heard from, of which five at the last
election returned Conservatives.
The World Government elaine a
majority OF 30 for the Government.
/ The Mdd independently gives the
Government a majority OF 20, while the
/ GioLc Opposition says that the major
| ity for the Government throughout the
whole country will not exceed 80.
Commenting Oh the election the En-
/ pife says. The Government Of Sir
John Macdonald has been triumUhautly
|tiudicated iu the face of the world Tho
/ policy Of unrestricted reciprocity or AN
neXatiOu has received its quietus, and
the old tlag, old leader and old policy
/ have received such an endorsement
from the electors OF Canada as 10 sweep
into Oblivion their detractOrS aud foes.
The World says: "A number of bOr-
der counties Of Ontario have defeated
the Government candidates, aud to this
extent the anneXatiOniSts may claim
some gains. Otherwise the opposition
has little 10 boast of. as before another
session is over Sir John Will have a
majority Of forty NJ least. Before an
other election the Wiman fad will have
passed away forever The net result of
the campaign is that Canada'S loyalty
has been indicated, diSruptiOniStS and
auneXiOniStS have met with little en-
cOuragement, and the Old man will con-
tinue 20 do business at the old stand.
The Mail says: Taking the election
as "a whole, 10 will be a diSafp fpOintment
20 both sides. To the Liberals because
the Roadway they have made in Ontario
and Quebec has been nullited by the ac-
ton of the election elsewhere, aud o.
the Government beeauSe IL did not
sweep the country. The MiniSterialiStS
should be- we'll pleased that they have
got of So well Unbiased reports from
various constituencies during the latter
days of the campaign certainly pointed
To an impending rOut.
The Giobc says: The prospect be-
fore the Government is not an inviting
one. II has been terribly weakened at
the polls. The Premier'S reckless
speeches have destroyed any hope OF its
obtaining amy relaxation of the United
States tariff la our behalf. and have
created an irritation in the minds OF our
ueighbors which may produce evil fruit
forus before long. Every branch of in-
duStry is prostratej and without much
eNaggeratiou, a. culture, the iOunda-
.f h.. 1lf IN h.4 ft
ing It's last gasp. nder these cOndi-
tious the administration cannot posi-
bly survive. But the Liberals are 10y
mo- means eager 20 assume control. The
responsibilities and dangers OF the stu
alton are So imminent and So great that
were 10 not their bounden duty TO save
the country. il tine can, they would be
well content to let the Tories stay in uu-
til the deluge arrives
A Halifax dispatch says: The mari
time provinces have saved the Ottawa
Government. Whatever Ontario may
want. the eastern part OF Canada has
Enthusiastically spoken against the unre-
>trirtcd reciprocity scheme of the Lib
erals. Its SAVIOR of annexation has
frightened tine people of the provinces.
OF an the surprises of the day the mari
time provinces have furnished the
greatest. Prince Edward Island, which
in the last Parliament had a solid Lib
rral phaanN of six, now sends TWO Con
>ervatiyes % four Liberals. Nova
Scotia sent Conservative major
ltv OF nine o. the last Parlla-
ment: sixteen members out of
p will now support Sir John Macdon-
aids administration. The Conservatives
have carried this city 10y 800 majority.
I Kings is the western county of Prince
/ Edward Islands, and returns MessrS.
/ Macdonald and Mclean to support Sir
John. The excitement was intense
here. as the returns came ia, when 1t
was found how SoIidly Conservative the
Maritime Province had gone.
/ A dispatch from 81. John, y. H., says:
| Later returns from Kings county, y. B:,
show that Hon. George +. Foster, Min
ster Of Finance, is elected by small
majority.
