returns SO far received show that the
Conservatives have 232 members, the
Liberia lUnioDists 80, the Liberals POS,
the Laborists 8. the anti-Parnellites AZ,
and the Parneilites Z.
The chagrin of the Liberals over the
small majority obtained by MIR. Glad
stone has been mitigated by the unex-
pected series of successes they achieved
in the counties. Since the beginning of
the elections the announcements of no
day record such Liberal gains as those
of today.

Gladstone Not FrettIng.
Mr.. Gladstone is not disheartened by
the result of the polling in Midlothian.
AS an old parliamentary hand, accus-
toned to reverses, he takes the reduc-
ton OF the Liberal vote in that cOnstit-
uency with equanimity. Private teleg-
raphic dispatches from him to prom
inent Liberals in this city say that he
knew Col. Wanchope was a strong Op-
ponent, ana had expected that the poll
would show a heavily reduced Liberal
majority.
On assuming Office under the new
government, it will be necessary, ae-
cording to political usage. for Mi. Glad
stone to he reelected to parliament. On
inquiry at the Conservative headauar-
tiers tonight it was learned from the
managers of the party, with whom Col.
Wauchope IS fully ell rapport, that they
dlsapprove of renewal of the contest
until the next general election.
This decision, in the eyes of Mr..
Gladstone. does not apply to Mr.Morley.
1t has been decided by the Conservative
managers that his seat will be chal-.
lenged On his appointment as cabinet
minister.
Must Fight Again.
Certain Liberals now admit that an
other general election is nigh, and re-
gard 1t as inevitable during 1892, while
some forecast dissolution on home rule
as taking place in the spring. Mr..
Gladstone, in communication to the
Star tonight, warns the Liberals to pre-
pare for the next election as likely to
come like thief in the night.o
AS the reform of registration is GER
tain to immensely strengthen the Lib
eral vote, the Gladstone government is
likely to Introduce "one-man one
vote, measure, which the house of lords
could not venture to reject. The next
session, according to ideas current at
the National Liberal club tonight, will
see the adoption of registration reform.
but will also see home rule thrown out
OF the house of lords. followed by the
dissolution of parliament.
The independent Laborists mean to
emphasize their freedom from party
ties by sitting in the house with the
conservative opposition.
The Liberal UniOniStS, maintaining
their position as Liberals, though dissi-
dents, will cross the floor of the house
with the Liberals. but will no longer be
able to sit OH the front benches with
the men they are actively opposing.
Though the result of the Midlothian
eiectien has tendency to make the
Liberals down-hearted. they have much
to console them in the figures from the

Amid these gains there is one Liberal
