GLADsToNEs PROTEST.
London. July 0.-The election returns received
an to ! o'clock tins morning show the following
idfals. Conservatives, l66; Liberals, 1872; LIB
oral I'nionists "a McCarthyes, l5 Parncllltes.
4. Inderendent Labor men, 3. OF the 344 known
rcsults-beng over one-half of the whole House
tbe Unionists united have 100, against a united
,rnosition of 114. The Liberals therefore,.
vould have to capture several Conservative county
Iistricfs in order to obtain a working majority.
This even sangune GlaCstOnianS hardly reckon on
London, July o.-Wth the cessation of the
borough elections, club gatherings have lessened
and the excitement among clubmen has waned
The bulk of the county ballots are not counted
until the morning after the day of polling
The general interest in the results is more strained
than ever; but the politicians, obliged to wait for
tomorrow find club life after midnight slow, if
not irritating While clubs less crowded,
the mobs in the streets are larger. The crowds
outside the National Liberal Club have largely in
creased in size, md their rolling cheers or
lowls as the fortunes of the party vary, can he
heard far along the Thames Embankment. Al
though the results announced tonight were COM
naratiyely few in number, the patience and en-
tluSaSm
were undiminished. Tomorrow night will see
the climax of the mob fervor, no enthusiasm
is likely to stand the strain of next weeks dull
delivery of results.
Men on both sides are now fretting over
the uncertainty of the situation. and feel keenly
the evils of the English system of a protractcd
electoral period. If the concurrent opinion of
some of the leading Liberals and Conservatives,
heard by the Associated Press representative to-
night, takes practical shape, measure will
soon be introduced in Parliament radically al
teying the present system by concentrating the
whole of the borough voting within one day
md the whole of the county polling within an
other day.
THE SITUATION PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED.
The features iii to-day's polling were few.
There Was no material modification of the situa-
ton The Liberals scored Wet ~ in the defeat
of r B. Findlay the Dissentient Liberal candidate
in Inverness, whose desertion of Mr. Gladstone
made him almost as obnoxious to Scotch Liberals
as Mr. Chamberain is to English Liberals An
other welcome surprise TO the Liberals was their
victory in the Ince district of Lancashire. n
expected as il was it became doubtful triumph
by the largeness of the present Liberal vote as
compared with that in 1856. On the other hand,
il was a disappointment TO fnl the East LONDON
district-Deptford- had been reckoned as a
trades-union stronghold again returning Con-
servativc The Liberals made mistake in putting
up Lord Edmund Ntzmaurice, merely hereditary
Liberal. to fight a Conservative of strong local
influence The result in Deptford leaves net
Liberal gain in the metropolis Of twelve.
THE DEFEAT OF JUSTIN MCCARTHY
The most important announcement
made this morning was that OF
the defeat of Justin Mccarthy, the leader
Of the anti Parneltes, who has been beaten by
small majority in the Derry borough by j.
Ross, the Conservative candidate. This district
has been very close one, and the defeat of
Mr. Mccarthy did not occasion great surprise In
1885 the Conservative majority in Derry was
o. In 1886 there was a Nationalist majority
of ..
The factional fight in Ireland has resulted in
Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmondo. the anti
Parncllite. who formerly held the seat. being
defeated by Conservative. II. Plunket. In
1886 Sir Thomas was elected by majority Of
l.r5s over ]. T. Pim Libera-Unionist. The
Conservatives took advantage of the discord IN
the Irish party TO nominate "A strong man. ana
the result iustifies their action. The Conserve
tives are much cated over this result
Tie Irish returns show that Timothy llar-
riDgton. Parnellite Secretary of the Irish Ma
tional League has succeeded in retainging his
seat for the IIarbor Division Of Dublin. This
is made matter of rejoicing by the Parncllltes;
bnt their delight over this election is nothing
compared with their iubilation over the defeat
Of Timothy d Sullivan. the anti-Parncllite. who
formerly represented the College Green Division
of Dublin. The Parnellitc candidate. DR.. j.
E. Kenny, beat him by 1897 votes.
There was a complete reversal Of political
sentiment in the st. Stephens Green Division of
Dublin. Here the Nationalist majority of ,337
WAS overcome the Parncllc candidate de-
feafcd and the Liberal Unionists carried the day
by majority Of lj
LIBERAL GAITS AND LOSSES.
The Liberals lost seat in Wales to-day Their
candidate in the Montgomery District was de-
feated by the Conservative candidate, who over
came Liberal maiority Of ~ and established
a Conservative gain Of 201. The loss of this
seat has been counterbaanccd by victory in the
Pembroke District Of Wales, where the Liberals
defeated the Liberal Cnionist candidate by making
gain Of 47j votes At the last election the
Conservative majority in this district was 2'2.
The Liberals have gained 2,lsi votes in the
North Division of Somerset and have overcome
Conservative majority Of 2,1G5 votes. Ihclr
candidate carried the district by 10 votes
At o'clock this afternoon the returns showed
two more Liberal gains The first was IN the
ChcstertOn Division Of Cambridgcshirc, where Sir
Charles Hall the Conservative candidate "an
defeated by II. f. IIoarc Liberal, who changed
the former Conservative majority Of 076 into
Liberal majority of 800. This was Liberal
gain Of 1874. Another Liberal gain of 2,16 was
scored in the Cricklade Division of Wiltshire
Here the Liberal-Unionst majority Of LIS In
1856 wiped out, and a Liberal majority OF
996 was established in its stead.
