The Gains and Losses the Same ON Beth
The second day OF the parliamentary cleo
tons found both parties confident Although
the liberals made number Of gains yesterday,
they were far below expectations, particularly
in London, where there were twenty -three
elections.
Returns from twenty showed no change
Whatever In tina political complexion. This
was great disappointment to the liberals, -
the county elections last spring went over
whelmingly liberal.
Henry N. Stanley was defeated in Lambeth
district by the liberal candidate. Alderman +.
L. Caldwelh. The poll was: CsldwelIs, ASA;
Stanley. 1854; Caidwells' majority, $50.
The polling in the twenty-thiree London dis
tricts proceeded amid an incessant downpour
of rain, making all external electoral display
impossible. Viewing the result a. whole the
liberals may congratulate themselves upon an
increase OF the numerical min0rities in the Lon
don districts where they are again defeated and
upon two signal triumphs.
JOY AT THE NATIONAL LIBERAL CLUB.
Nothing stirred the pulse of the National
Liberal Club last night in London like the news
Of the rejection Of Richard Chamberlain in
Islington. Apart from the odium which his
distinguished brother has earned ss a "rene-
gade' Richard has cOntrived to acquire such
load of individual dislike that Liberal Club men
rejoiced in his defeat almost personal mat
ter. Members leaped into the air In ecstacy
and hurrahed themselves hoarse upon having
got rid Of an obnoxious personality in pariia-
ment and inflicted blow upon the hated
enemy.
Henry NJ Stanley's defeat was taken more
quietly. Neither conservatives nor liberals be-
lieved that he could be successful. Stanley
alone confident.
While jubilant over some Of the outstanding
results the liberals have no reason TO boast Of
brighter prospects. Their defeat in Perth,
where two contesting liberals enabled O union
list to hold the poll, and theloss Of Scarborough,
Barrow, Infurness, Wolverhampton and West
st. Pancras have further checked the expectn-
ton OF sweeping party majority. Several
members Of the liberal executive committee in
sentative last night concurred in expressing
fears that they would lose number of seats
through mismanSement similar TO that in Perth.
The loss of West Wolverhampton they at
tributed to the spread of fair trade views, and
they consider it probable that other manuSac-
Among the seats the liberals were confident of
capturing were Chelsea and st. Helen's. and the
loss OF these caused keen disappointment.
THE RESULT .'sTANp-oFr''
Yesterdays gains and losses are eduaI-each
side having six gains and six losses. The labor
lists made poor show, their candidates being
at the foot Of the poll in three contests.
POlhngs were held yesterday in sixty-five
boroughs and diyisions-sixteep in London,
thirty-seven in the provinces, eight in Scotland
and four in ireland. The aggregate of the
poliings up to date was: Unionist l,0il;
Gladstoninn, 439,6l2; independent and labor,
II, 266.
Mr.. GLADSTONE SATISFIED.
Mr.. Gladstone addressed large and enthusi-
astic meeting at Dalkeith yesterday. In the
course Of his speech he said that if Scotland. on
mature deliberation, wanted home rule for her.
self she would get it as her right. But he
added, the Iris b question leads Scottish nation
alization. The liberal gains, he added.
promised satisfactory result His santic pa
tons had thus far been justified.
The London Times says: ''Tte flowing tide
has been absolutely stayed, if not turned back
The campaign of profuse promises and unscru-
pulOus calumny. wherein Mr.. Gladstone's per-
sonaiity has been exerted to the utmost in
desperate attack upon the citadel of the consti-
tuition. has left the mass of the nation I'M
moved"
