LONDON. July 8-Failure to win moro seats
than tho Tories yesterday. coupled with the
announcement this morning Of the Liberal
JInionist victory in Edinburgh. somewhat dis
hesrtened all the Liberals except those excep-
tloually enthusiastic. The idea that the en-
amy should score n victory under the very
nose Of the Grand Old Man was exceptionally
exaspcratlng. and seemed to warrant the fear
that Scotland would not as had been conf
IDENTIFY believed. reject every Liberal Union
lat But after all. yesterday was only
tho second day Of the fight, and tho
and Of the week will be time enough
for tho Liberals to dream OF defeat.
II Mt all. Mr.. Gladstone has again
declared to-day that he Is satisfied. and he
ought to be fairly happy considering that
when he spoke six Liberal Unionists. his pct
.verslons. had been thrown. and that he had
made net gain Of niue seats. counting eiGh-
teen In division.
Sir William Harcourt, speaking at Hull this
ing when he said that when he went out shoot
ing his favorite game was woodcock. Liberal
Unionists were his political woodcock. and he
would rather bring down one Of those desert
ers than any two OF the common enemy.
Unfortunately. Liberal discussions in d.
vision OF Glasgow has to-day given the Union
lists another seat, and Tory incorporating
as Liberal Unionist has elected Thomas Sex
ton from the representation OF West Belfast
Sexton will not be without seat long. how
ever. as he will have the choice OF contesting
one o. several safe Irish constituencies.
Chamberlain and his friends and relatives
have carried Birmingham by humping ma
jorities, as was expected. because. II false to
Liberalism. he has been true to the local in
terests Of Birmingham.
Gladstone has made q net gain on to-day's
polling OF seven seats. making net total gain
Of sixteen counting thirty-two in division.
This is not in accordance with expectations.
but It is success Of o character which. had it
been theirs. would have driven tho Tories
Wild with Joy. The three Tory London seats
won to-day will probably DO duplicated In the
metropolis to- morrow.
The result Of tho polling at Newcastle. where
John Morley's seat is thought to be imperiled
by his opposition to the Eight-hour bill. will
not be made known until about noon on
Thursday. The counting Of votes in Kilkenny
and Waterford has been deferred until to-
morrow through fear Of rioting. The Cork re-
suit Is not yet known. and reports are current
here Of serious rioting in that city.
