The defeat yesterday of Sir T. Sutherland
liberal Unionist) at Green elk by John
Bruce QLiberaD is a deathblow to the
Unionist cause in Scotland, and indicates
that the number of English Unionists will
be reduced. The Radical triumph at West
ham is prelude to the rolling up of Lon
don victories for the Radicals. Gladstone
is jubllant over yesterdays results, espe-
cially the return of John Bruce LiberaD In
Greenock. The returns thus far show the
election of 81 Conservatives, II Liberals and
Z Liberal Unionists.
Gladstone addressed large and enthusi-
astic meeting at Dalkeith to-day. In the
course of his speech he said II Scotland
wanted home rule she would get il as her
right; but. he added, the Irish question
leads.
Daniel OConnell. the son of the great
Irish liberator. who is supporting the Right
Hon. James Lowther, Conservative, was
asked why he was not following the foot
steps of his father. BE replied that it was
a an Irish Catholic that he voted for Con-
seryatiye. 81 have seen during the past six
years that the country has been wisely gov
erned. Gladstone's home rule scheme would
be most disastrous to Ireland"
