LONDON. Aug. 26.-Mr. Morley's return
is an immense relief to the liberals who have
been watching for the result with breathless
anxiety. The party never expended money
and energies so profusely to secure local
election. While the unionist candidate
relied solely on local influences, the liberals
imported, 20 strengthen Mr.. Morley,
fourteen members of the House
or Commons, eight ex-members
aud tfteen preachers, Episcopal,
CATHOLIC, Methodist and Quaker. All were
In the field daily. The contest became one
or national Importance when some adhe-
rents OF the labor party Joined the ranks OF
the unionists. 1t was only the S-hour sec
tion of the laborists, but as this IL now a
strong political factor In the country, It's
adhesion TO the unionist cause almost
marked an electoral epoch. Mr.. Morley's
repute as q high-minded aud honest politl-
ciau never shone brighter than when he de-

Office rather than submit to the demands oe
the laborists. But apart from his success Il
leading outcome OF the contest is the definite
rupture OF the laborists with the home
rulers,
DAvITT's THREAT.
The laborists throughout the country re-.
sent MIR. Davitt's threat that the Irish mem
bers would foil tho labor demands In the
House OF Commons IL the laborists oppose
Mr.. Morley. The labor leader, Mr. Cham
pion, replies that they have power to destroy
all chance of home rule. As Mr.. Morley
has trtumphed, Mr.. Davitt may now seek
to reconcile the laborists. Otherwise the
feud will bring disaster to the Gladstone
government.
Mr.. Moriey's short visit to Dublin has
confirmed the nationalist confidence in him.
1t soon became known that he had selected
as private adviser and probably under Sec
retary for Ireland, George Fottrel, a man
whose yelled influence In Irish affairs has
long been recognized by both English
and Irish leaders. Mr. Fottrel is
close friend and inspirer OF Mr.. Morley's
He was adviser to Robert Hamilton. who was
under secretary during the critical times
succeeding the Phoenix park murders, and
stands so well with the nationalists that his
reported appointment as under secretary
was hailed with general delight as the advent
OF genuine Irish administration, sealing
the end OF the obnoxious castle domination.
The Irish leaders have always been con-
scious that the key 20 the whole position ~
the under secretaryship and they will be
satisfied IL Mr.. Fottrel is appointed.
SsRegarding the home rule bill, the London
Chronicles travesty on the result of the
negotiations between Mr.. Gladstone aud the
McCarthyites is not deemed worthy OF
notice by the irish party. Mr.. Dillon's per-
sonal assurance TO the Associated Press
representative that the retention OF the
whole Irish members in the imperial parlia-
ment Ia an essential feature Of the bill has
acceptance among all OF the new ministerial
circle.
MIR. Gladstone's nominees for the great
court offices are criticised in friendly spiris
on all sides
