burgh, somewhat disheartened all Liberals
except those exceptionally enthusiastic.
The idea that the enemy should score vic.
tory under the very nose of the Grand Old
Man was exceptionally exasperating, and
seemed to warrant the fear that Scotland
would not, SIS had been confidently believed,
reject every Liberal Unionist
But, after all, yesterday was only the
second day of the fight, and the end of the
week will be time enough for the Liberals
to dream of defeat, if at 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 pet aversions, had been overthrown and
that he had made net gain of nine seats,
counting 1S in division.
How Liberals Hate the Dissidents.
Sir William Harcourt, speaking at Hull
this afternoon, happily indicated the Liberal
feeling when he said that when he went out
shooting his favorite game is woodcock.
Liberal Unlonists are his political woodcock,
and he would rather bring down one of those
deserters than any two of the common
enemy.
Unfortunately Liberal dissension in the
division of Glasgow has to-day given the
Unionists another seat. and Tory masque-
rading as a Liberal Unionist has elected
Thomas Sexton from the representation of
West Belfast Sexton will not be without
a seat long, however. as he will be given
Irish constituencies.
Chamberlain and his friends and relatives
have carried Birmingham by humping ma
jorities, as was expected, because if false to
Liberalism he has been true to the local in
terests of Birmingham.
Gladstone has made net gain on to-day's
pollings of seats. making the net total
gain 16, counting 80 on division. This is
not in accordance with expectations but it
is success of character which, had it been
theirs, would have driven the Tories wild
with JOY.
John Morley's Seat in Danger.
The three Tory London seats won to-day
will probably be duplicated in the metropo-
lis tomorrow. The result of the 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 Thursday The
counting of votes in Kilkenny and Water
ford has been deferred until tomorrow, also
through fear of rioting. The Cork result is
not yet known. and reports are current here
of serious rioting in that city.
As an instance of the heavy inroads which
the labor vote has made in the Liberal
ranks in the metropolis Burns, the work.
ingmen's leader, turned Liberal majority
into plurality for himself of 4, All Bal
four was reelected by 39S at Manchester,
but this is Tory loss of ZIG The ITO ma
jority in the same city, won by the Post
master General Sir James Ferguson, also
represents Tory loss of 40.
Mr.. Gladstone addressed a large and
highly enthusiastic meeting in Corstorshire,
Scotland, to-day. He charged the Govern
The Newcastle programme, he declared,
was a Liberal prospectus, and the Liberal
record of the past was guarantee of its
fulfillment. He is satisfied with the result
of the polling in London, but confessed that
the classes were against him. He deplored
the Liberal defeat in Perth, but reioiced in
having majority of the Scottish votes. He
is confident that Scotland desires Justice for
ireland.
More Riotfng Over in Ireland.
A dispatch from Dublin, says: A crowd of
anti-Parnellites to-day stormed the plat
form which the Liberal Unionists were ad-
dressing meeting at Stranother, County
Donegal. Among those on the platform
was MI. Donaldson, Justice Of the Peace.
He was hit on the head and his skull
fractured. E. T. Herdman, the Conserva-
tive candidate for East Donegal, and D. B.
McCorkell, the Conservative candidate for
North Donegal, were also present. Each
of them was cut about the head and face.
At an anti-Parnellite meeting held at
Ballena, County Mayo, to-day, speeches
were made by John Dillon and Daniel Crelly,
who is the candidate in the North Mayo
district. During the meeting Rev. Father
Conway, who was on the platform, barred
his head and showed severe scalp wounds
that had been inflicted by Parnellites.
When his injuries were seen, over 100
Parnellite voters present declared that they
would desert the Parnellites and cast their
ballots tor Mr.. Crelly.
The total returns received up to midnight
show the election of 123 Conservatives, SO
Liberals, 10 Liberal Unionsts and anti
Parnellites. Up to this time the Govern
ment has still majority of 49, The total
Liberal gains are 29. and Conservative IA.
