LONDON, Aug. 26.-Mr Morley's return
for Newcastle is AN immense relief to the
Liberals, who have been watching for the
result with breathless anxiety. The party
never expended money and energies SO pro-
fusely to secure local election.
While the Un:onist candidate relied
solely on local influences, the Liberals re-
ported to strengthen Mr.. Morley IA MEM
bers of the House of Commons, ex-mem-
bers and Is preachers-Episcopal, Catholic,
Methodist and Quaker. All were in the field
daily.
The contest became one of national i'm
portance when some adherents OF the Labor
party Joined the ranks of the UnIonists.
1t was only the eight-hour section of the
Labofists, but as this is now strong
political factor in the country. its adhesion
to the Unionist cause almost marked an
electoral epoch Mr.. Morley's repute as a
high-minded and honest politician never
shone brighter than when he de eclared he
was ready to risk his seat and his Office
rather than submit to the demands of the
La5orists.
In the general election Mr.. Morley re-
ceived 10,9O5 votes, but yesterday he re-
ceived Il, 9S3 votes Mr.. Morley was op-
posed by Mr.. Pandeli Ralli, Liberal Union
list He received II, 244 votes, making Mr..
Morley's majority 1,739 Mr.. Hammond,
Conservative, who was one of the successful
candidates at the general election, New
castle returning two members, received
13, S24 votes and yesterdays report shows a
decided falling of in the Conservative
strength.
Apart from Mr.. Morley's success, the
leading outcome of the contest is the def
mite rupture of the Laborists with the home
rulers The Laborists throughout the
country resent Mr.. Davitt's threat that the
Irish members would foil the labor demands
in the House of Commons if the Laborists
opposed Mr.. Morley. The labor leader.
Mr. Champion, replies that they have no
power to destroy all chances of home rule.
As Mr.. Morley has triumphed, Mr.. Davitt
may now seek to reconcile the Laborists.
Otherwise. the feud will bring disaster to
the Gladstone Government.
Mr. Morley's short visit to Dublin has
confirmed the Nationalist confidence in him.
1t soon became known that he had selected
as private adviser, and probably Under Sec
retary for Ireland, George Fottrell, a man
whose veiled influence in Irish affairs has
long been recognized by both English and
Irish leaders
The Irish Pleased With Mr.. FottrsII.
Mr.. Fottrell is close friend and inspirer
OF Mr.. Morley's He was adviser to Sir
Robert Hamilton, who was Under Secretary
during the critical time succeeding the
Phoenix Park murders, and stands so well
h. - Sl.k
pointment as Under Secretary was hailed
with general delight as the advent of q gen.
uine Irish administration, sealing the end
of the obnoxious Castle domination. The
Irish leaders have always been conscious
that the key to the whole position is the
Under Secretaryshir, and they will be sat
isfed if Mr. Fottrell is appointed.
Regarding the home rule bill, the Lon
don Chronicles travesty of the result of the
negotiations between Mr.. Gladstone and
the McCarthyites is not deemed worthy of
notice by the Irish party. Mr. DIllen's as
surance to an Associated Press representa-
tive that the retention of the whole of the
Irish members of the Imperial Parliament
is an essential feature of the bill has ac-
ceptance among all of the new Ministerial
circle.
