1 Ill ...I l.a
| National Press (anti-Parnelite). commenting
| to-day on the elections Of yesterday. say thai
tho smashing victory of Messrs. % Brlen and
| aealy in Cork over the combined forces ol
unionlsm and Redmondlsm IS splendid be
| ginning. The paper adds that the heaviest
| blow homo rule has yet sustained was the de-
! feat of Mr. Thomas Sexton IN West Belfast.
| The result was only too certain. as courage,
sner9y and factionsl treachery combined
against him.
| The Edinburgh correspondent of the Daily
| Telegraph says that Mr.. Gladstone's recep-
| ton ia Midlothian has been far less enthusi-
astic than usual His friends admit that the
majority that he had in 1895 may be reduced
| by thousands Of votes. The indications are
| that there will be far greater reduction than
! his friends cOncede, ii his majority Is not en-
tirely wiped out
LIBERALS KEEP UP HEART.
The Liberals persist in regarding that the
tide is flowing decidedly in favor of Mr..
| Gladstone, but admit that the fight is stiff and
stubborn. The Pail Mall Gazette holds that
the possibilities are great for gains IN tbs
counties The Liberals lost in 1885 sixty seats
| in the borroghs and eighty in the counties
| Since then Hodge" (the agriculture laborer)
! has acquired large voting power. and II
is supposed that he leans toward th'
Liberals Both sides indulge in prophetic
| blum that Hodge is theirs. Nothing II
certain except that the agricultural lfoor vote
| holds the KEY to the position. To-day's esti
mates of the National Federation In Dublin
indicate anti Parnellite victories in seventy
eight contests in Ireland. Parnsllte victories
in four. Tory victories in eighteen and Libers
| victories 10 three.
Thus far In the elections the total Liberia
| gain is only fifteen.
