RADICALS DISSATISFIED.
The compositions of the new govern
ment has caused intense disappointment
among the Radicals. Not a single man,
except John Morley, commonly idenfi-
fed with the Radicals, has been ap-
pointed cabinet minister, and among ex-
cabinet posts few members of the new
set have any but the remotest chance of
getting place. Representatives. of the
old Wing families and Liberal medioc-
ricies, having aristocratic connections,
and never associated with extreme
views, have been Gladstone's exclusive
choice.
The official list, when scanned tonight
at the National Liberal club, awoke a
vehement protest.
Apart from Radical opinion, the cabi-
net isl really3composed of eminently re-
putable men. Gladstone preferred col
Letting around him tried colleagues, &C.
customed to subordination and certain
not to deviate into strange wavs. Prob
ably Gladstone will try to strengthen
his position by offering post to Stuart,
the Radical leader of the London COM
mon council; Hunter, leader of the
Scotch Radicals; Burt, Benn and 9TH
ers. Lefevre is likely to get the min
istrY OF agriculture.
Nothing Gladstone can offer will pre-
vent the Radical leaders, Immediately
upon the reassembling of the commons,
from showing resentment at their ex-
clusion from Office.
A COMPLETE SURPRISE.
Baron Honghton's appointment as
viceroy Of Ireland has amazed even
Gladstone's intimate friends, as Hough-
ton is utterly unknown in parliamentary
circles. The Radicals have predicted
that the government cannot last three
months after parliament has resumed
business.
