,OUNTY POLLS BEGIN
On Their Results Will Depend the
Fate of the Grand Old Man.
SEATS LOST BY THE IRISH FEUD
The Newcastle Election Puts Morley in an
Unenviable Light.
GLADSTONE GETS HIS NOMINATION
rBY CABLE TO TIE DISPATCH. ]

j
Thanks in large degree to the shameful
folly of the Irish Nationalists, four seats in
ireland have now been given to supporters
of the coercicnist government, and it is
feared several more will 60 the same way.
Except in Ireland, the constituencies
whose pollings were declared this forenoon
did their duty we'll with few exceptions, al
though the results did not come up to the
1885 standard County pollings practically
commenced only to-day, and upon them de-
pends the answer to the question whether
Gladstone shall have a large or small ma
jority.
1t looks as though the Scottish counties,
as we'll as the boroughs, will not justify the
Grand Old Mans confidence in them. The
fact that only eight of his followers have
been defeated, has delighted Joseph Cham
berlain, and to-day he plucked up courage
to denounce Mr.. Gladstone as furious mob
orator.
Gladstone and Labor Candidates.
Chamberlain now believes that his party
will number quite 60 in the new Parlia-
ment, but THE DISPATCH'S information
does not warrant this confident estimate A
letter from Gladstone is published this
evening protesting against the sacrifice of
Liberal seats through the hopes of Labor
candidatures: but as these candidates are
being subsidized with Tory money the pro-
test is not likely to have much effect
People are still trying to fathom the
meaning of the extraordinary voting at
Newcastle. To Judge from popular feeling,
as reflected in the local newspapers, Morley
had given offense to the townspeopie, as
well as to the miners, by neglecting local
interests and keeping away from the place
except at election time. As the Newcastle
Chronicle neatly puts the case, ''Morley's
constituents hear him through the telephone
and see him through the wrong end of the
telescope"
Morley does not come out of this curious
affair particularly well. A week or so ago
he publicly declared that he would feel
himself insulted if Newcastle did not elect
him by majority of at least 1900 and that
he would resign his seat if the majority
should be less than 1000.
Morley Not So Good as His Word
The Tories are now challenging him to
fulfill his promise and retire, but Morley
shows no inclination to make good his
words Not dozen results of the polling
in 81 constituencies to-day have beea de-
clared tonight. One Liberal gain in the |
Ince division of Lancashire affords ground |
for the hope that fair proportion of the 15 |
Tory seats in that important county may be |
won for home rule
At o'clock this afternoon the returns |
showed two further Liberal gains. The |
first was in the Chesterton division of |
Cambridgeshire, where Sir Charles Hail. |

tive majority of $40 into Liberal majority |
of 39S This was a Liberal gain of 1,374 |

of 99S established in its stead.

tion of Rt Hon. Edward Stanhope, Secre-
tarv of State for War. in the Horncastle

the Board of Agriculture, was reelected in
the Sleaford division of Lincolnshire. This

Somerset, and have overcome a Conserva-
tive majority of 3, 165
The Irish returns show that Timothy Har-
rington, Parnellite, Secretary of the Irish
National League, has succeeded in retain
ing his seat for the Harbor division of Dub
lin. The Parnellites are iubilant over the

Parnellite, who formerly represented the
College Green division of Dublin. The
Parnellite candidate, DR.. j. e. Kenny, beat
him by l 397 votes.
The Pen1ith division of Cumberland has
returned J. w. Lowther, the Parliamentary
Secretary of the Foreign office, bv a re-
duced majority, the Liberals gained 519

tions show Justin Mccarthy was defeated

Their candidate in the Montgomery district
was defeated by the Conservative candidate.
who overcsme a Liberal majority of 173 and
established a Conservative gain of 291.
The loss of this seat has been counter
balanced by winning one in the Pembroke
district of Wales. The Liberals defeated
the Liberal-U [ nionist candidate in the Penn
broke district by making a gain of AS
votes. At the last election the Conserva- |
tive majority in this district was 272
A dispatch from Dublin SAYS: Crowds
flocked to the Court House early to await
the counting of the votes. An attack was
made early this morning upon the house of
John Dillon, in this city, and the windows
were riddled by the volleys of stones hurled
by the mob. The freeman s Journal saws the
Parnellites have abandoned the seven
divisions in Cork county, the Leix division
of Queens county, North Tipperarv, East
Kerry South Longford, Leitrim, West
Wat erford and Sligo They have confined
their contests to Ulster and those places |
where the fight may result in the return of
Tory candidates.
Gladstone Is Formally Renominated..
A dispatch from Edinburgh saws: Messrs.
Gladstone and Wauchope were nominated |
p-day for Parliament and the election will
axe place Tuesday. Little notice is taken |
f Mr.. Wauchope by the Unionist journals.
n fact, if it were legal to set up a broom
tick opposition 10 Mr.. Gladstone it would
e zealously and industriously voted for
Scotch Tories. After the election Mr.
iladstone will go to Hawarden for a well
armed rest prior to the opening of Parlia-
ent.
