rBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH,

LONDON, Nov. T.-[Copyright. - The
result of the Cork election has exactly con-
frmed The DIsPATCH's forecasts. The
Parnellites profess to have done better
than they had expected, which shows that
they can be thankful for small mercies.
Their actual poll of Nationalists was less
than 1000, for quite 200 Tories voted for
Redmond
Last evening the Teries went about
boasting that they had polled more than
they did at the last contested election in
1885. 1t is shown tod day that their candi-
date received 295 fewer votes than in 1885.
They do not attempt TO denv to-day that
probably go of the vanished votes that
were certainly poIled were given to Red
mond.
1t is certain that the result of the election
will convince many Parnellites of the error
of their ways, ard it is probable that some
members of the Parliamentary minority
will gladly make it an excuse for returning
TO their allegiance. No difficulties will be
placed in their way, for it is the earnest de-
sire of William O'Brien and his colleagues
to win back by gentle means as many prodi-
gals as possible for the general election,
but to those who remain recalcitrant then
no mercy will be shown.
The Door Yet Open for Many.
1t must be remembered that the majority
of the minority have taken no part in the
bitter strife which has been going on since
Parnell died. They took the step which
seemed to them to be the best in the inter-
ests of the country, and then wisely held
their peace. These are the men for whom
the door has been kept open, and to whom
the interdict given by Cork should irressti-
bly, appeal
John Redmond is now in ludicrous posi-
tion. Had he won Cork he would have
been formally selected leader of the irrecon-
cilables That was the price which he ex-
acted before resigning his seat at Wexford
in order to lead the forlorn hope. But his
ambition has overleaped itself. He has
grasped the shadow and lost the substance.
He VIII probably ask Wexford to take him
back, but he will be beaten again. The
Nationalists there have already selected
their candidate. and there is no reason to
fear that Wexford will go wrong where
Cork went right. John Redmond is des-
tined to be a political Wandering jew
until the general election, and it is difficult
20 see where he will find seat even then.
The Irish Tories are warning the Govern
ment that if the general election be delayed
until next summer there is cause for the
fear that Irish dissensions will have been
healed up. They are promising the Gov
ernment a gain of ten seats in Ireland if
Parliament be dissolved at once, but their
representations are not likely TO have any
effect.
4 Pleasant Prospect for Liberals.
The immediate electoral prospect is very |
pleasant for the Liberals. Two Tory coun- |
" seats, South Morton and East Dorset, |
have become vacant, and the Liberals have |
cheerfully undertaken to win them both.
In the former constituency the contest is
proceeding boisterously, and the polling
will take place next Friday. In East Dor
set, where there is Tory majority OF 65j to
wipe out, the eight viii not commence in
earnest for several days, and the result
can't be made known for least a fortnight |
The Lord Wardenship of Cinque ports
has been given to the Marquis of Dufferin,
and concurrently with this announcement |
we are given to understand that Mr.. |
Goschen has made one more sacrifice. He |
was offered the pleasant sinecure, but de-
clined it in his self-sacrifcing way, because.
in Kent and did not banker after Walmer |
Castle. He suggested Lord Dutferin, who, |
being poor man, only has one |
castle and that one in a remote |
part of ireland, and the post |
was accordingly given to the noble Mar |
quis. Ii Mr.. Goschen should continue to |
make sacrifices at this reckless rate it may |
become necessary for his friends to put him |
under restraint. There is reason to believe |
that should the general election go against the |
Government-whichi it certainlywill do-Mr. |
Goscken is prepared further to immediate
himself by accepting peerage and taking
seat IN the gllded upper House.
VIII Have Bogus Labor Candidates.
Tory wire pullers in London. acting in
conjunction with knot of law loafers who
pose as labor leaders, are making arrange
ments for running "labor candidates" in
over 100 constituencies wherein serious
split Of the Liberal vote may give the
Tories a chance of success. The funds will
be provided from the Tory treasury, and
the loafers aforesaid and the so-called So
cialist societies will find the candidates.
The trick is a shabby one, and is not likely
to be of much advantage TO those who
play it.
The result of the election yesterday was
as follows: Flavin (McCarthyite), 1869:
Redmond (Parnellite), 2,157; Sarsfeld
(Unionist), 1.16l. Al the last election for
Cork City, Mr.. Parnell was elected. with
Mr.. Maurice Healy, who also represents
Cork City, without opposition. 1t is said
that Redmond may oppose the seating of
