Tories Claim Even Now the Liberals

ment majority.
The Times says it is not manifest that Mr.
Gladstone will have an easy task in com
pelling the Government to resign. LORI
Salisbury will be perfectly emitted to await
the issue of the attack. The Government
is opposed, not to one party, but to two, il
hot three, which must ally to form a major
'ty. 1t remains TO be seen whether Mr..
Gladstone Is able to form such an alliance.
The Daily Mes1s' special from Edinburgh
saws: In view OF Saturdays fatigues it
was decided in council at Dalmeny Park
that Mr. Gladstone should dispense with
the carriage tour and 60 to Penicuick by
train, but hearing of the profound disap.
pointment Of the villages he was expected
to visit Mr.. Gladstone determined this
(Monday) morning to preface his speech by
a2O-mile drive. Less bunting than usual
was displayed along the road owing to
changes of programme and the shorter
route taken, but there was a repetition of
the ovations witnessed last week, including
the presentation of numerous bouquets and
the running of crowds along with the car
riage.
Mr.. Gladstone Speaks in q Church.
On the arrival of the party in Penicuick,
an old man of IS who had walked five miles,
was rewarded by being introduced to Mr..
Gladstone. The party took tea in the manse
adjoining the United Presbyterian church,
where the speech was delivered The edi-
ice seats 700 people, but tickets had been
issued for 900. 1t was one of the most in
telligent audiences Mr.. Gladstone has ad-
dressed in the present campaign.
The Heckling incident to-day, in the
absence of the implacable brewer lacked
the humor and picturesqueness of the Cors-
torphIne episode. The audience listened
impatiently to the long-winded questions,
and rose to cheer Mr.. Gladstone on his
departure.
Mr.. Gladstone returned to Dalmeny on a
special train. Large and enthusiastic
crowds were to be seen at every station as
the train flashed by.
Mr. Bsltour addressed the Midlothian
electors at West Calder yesterday in sup
port of Mr.. Wauchop. He said under Mr..
Gladstone's plan of retaining Irish repre-
sentation at Westminster, there would al
ways be body willing to bring pressure for
ITS own purposes Though good for them,
this would not be good for the country 1t
would remove the necessity of coercion
The offenses with which the coercion act had
to deal were more likely to be committed
under Home Rule Parliament than under
the Imperial Parliament By granting
home rule they would add to the difficult
ties.
Appealing to Scottish National Pride.
The people of Ulster are of the same race
as the Scotch themselves, and if the story of
Scotland in the last three centuries means
anything, it means that they are a race
that would not submit under any circum-
stances to tyranny in the government of
Ireland.
The election in which the greatest interest
is felt is progressing in Scotland to-day.
This is in the Midlothian district. Party
feeling in the district is raised to fever heat,
and the polling was never before known to
be so heavy. In 1885 Mr.. Gladstone had
majority of 4, 631 in this district, and in 1886
be was returned without opposition. This |
year, however, the Liberal Unionists de- |
cided to put a candidate in the field, and |
Colonel Wauchope was nominated to oppose |
the Liberal leader. He has made an active |
canvass OF the district as has also Mr.. Glad
stone, and the Colonel's work is evidently |
bearing fruit. So far as can be judged from
polling at this stage of the election there
promises to be large reduction in Mr..
Gladstone's former majority.
The Unionists are working determinedly
with the sole object of reducing the major.
ity OF MIR. Gladstone, as not even the most
sanguine OF them have any hope of defeat
ing him. Vehicles of ali descriptions are
conveying voters to the polling places.
The Result Unknown Until To-Day.
The churchmen are voting for Colonel
Wauchope. The Irish vote, which Mr..
Gladstone lost in 1885, is now solidly Lib
eral. The IA polling places in the district
are widely scattered. The exact result of
the contest will not be known until to-
morrow, as the counting of the votes does
not begin until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

The personal character of candidate en-
ters more largely into the canvass in the
Forest of Dean division, Gloucestershire
than in any other place in England. The
Liberal candidate in this division is Hon.

Many of the friends of Sir Charles attended /
the meeting, but Mr.. Stead did not appear.
Social Purists Condemned as Unchristiau.
Instead of an attack being made upon Sir
Charles, Rev. i. George made a motion, ,
copdemning the unchristianlike conduct of
the social purity party in assailing Sir
Charles, and the motion was adopted amid =
hearty cheers from supporters of Sir
Charles.
