LONDON, June 9-Large crowds have
been gathered about the bulletin boards of
the various newspaper offices since early
this morning, waiting for the posting of
the results of the elections. The crowds
were very evidently of Liberal tendencies,
for when the Gladstonian successes in
England were announced they cheered and
yelled, and in other ways showed their en-
iovment at the discontinue of the Union
lists
1t was predicted BY the Liberal leaders
that although the polling in the boroughs
did not come up to their expectations, when
the elections took place in the county con-
ttituencies the counties would wheel into
the Liberal line and cause sorrow to the
Unionists. Yesterday the Liberals felt
rather blue over the county prospects, as
the returns did not appear to bear out their
rose-colored view of the situation. A mild
feeling of despondency prevailed over the
outlook, as it was feared that Mr.. Glad
stones majority would be greatly reduced
by the county returns. The Liberals, of
course, did not give up hope of having a
majority, but the figures showed that they
were not making the expected gains in the
counties.
The Liberals Cheer Up Again.
At noon to-day, when further results of
Yesterdays elections were at hand, the faces
of those who were gathered at the National
Liberal Club showed that, to a certain ex-
tent, the counties were wheeling into
line" At that time returns had been re-
ceived from IS county districts, and they
showed that the Liberals had elected their
candidates in five of them that had formerly
been carried by the Unionists.
The result OF the election in the South
east division of Durham caused the Liberals
great jov. Here the Liberal Unionist ms
jority of 1886, amounting to 939 votes, was
wiped out and the candidate of that party
was showed under a majority of 4,070. A
gain of 5000 votes in this district was
taken to augur we'll for the other cleo
torates, and the augury proved a true one.
Almost Immediately afterward' it was an
nounced that a Liberal had ousted Con-
servative in the Loughborough division of
Ieicestershire. Here Mr.. DeLisle, Tory
who represented the district in the last
Parliament, had been defeated bv Mr.. Fer
guson by a majority of 723. This was a
Liberal gain of s4S
Then followed the reading of the returns
from the south division of Northampton
shire. These showed that Mr.. Guthrie, the
Liberal candidate, would vote with his |
party in the next Parliament. He had de- |
teated his Conservative opponent by As |
votes The majority was small, but it was |
q liberal gain of $40, and this was cheering
news.

trict, and now the Parliamentary Secretary
of the Board has been defeated. The Liberal
candidate who stood against him overcame

The next Liberal gain was in the Bicycles
wade division Of Bedfordshire, where the
Unionist candidate, Viscount Bar
ing, was defeated by 544 votes, which was a
Liberal gain of ,026
Among the more prominent candidates
whose election is announced to-day is the
Right Honorable Sir Richard E. Webster,
the Attorney General. He stood in the
Isle of Wight division of Hampshire, where
he was opposed by S +. Mend. Liberal
The latter succeeded in reducing the former
majority in the district by 7e7
votes. The Strand division of Gloucester-
shire also under went a radical change of
sentiment. the former Conservative major
tv of 7O9 being overcome and replaced bv
Liberal majority of 2O4.
