LONDON. July 6-The Times saws: s'Yes,er-
days polls were remarkably heavy and the hght
is going TO be an unusually hard one. A potent
cause Of the disparity Of the gains Of the two
parties yesterday is found in the fact that a
large proportion Of the contests were IN small
boroughs where local personal Influences tend
% overbear the larger motives Of pubic policy.
The sweeping OF the country anticipated by
Mr.. Gladstone has not vet manifested itself
The main lesson is that momentous issues hang
upon the exertions of the unionists in the next
few DAYS Every lingering jealousy between
the two wings Of the unionist party must be
quenched"
The Daily Netrs commenting on the elections
SAYS The question now is not whether we
shall win. but by how many seats"
The Chronicle saws: I'VE note a beacon light
in the election. The eight-hour question has
claimed its first victim in Henry Bruadhurrt,
who owes his defeat. not 20 home rule, but 20
the miners Mr.. lllingworth almost succumbed
to the same fate, Mr.. 1illett having reduced his
majority 20 the vanishing point Other strik-
| ing features are marked sign of decisive
| swing OF the pendulum in Scotland. and Glad
stonian borough gains. formerly Mr.. Glad
stones weakest spot In conversing recently
Mr.. Gladstone said he of the opinion that
the liberals would get n majority of 100. inclus-
i've OF the Irish seats. He added. the majority
may exceed a hundred but not much, I think >"
The Standard saws: The liberal gains do not
justify any complscency on the part Of the
/ candid homo rulers. Unless thev DO much better
during the remainder of .'ie week thev will stiu
| be in the minority. On IN other hand the details
of the elections are full of announcement for
the unionists. Nowhe has there been q
humilitating reverse. fDove all the survival Of
the dissident liberals in undiminished strength
must be morsifving 20 the politicians who
treated them as doomed 10 extinction.
| An interview was had today with Mr. J. Keir
Hardie. the labor candidate. who was elected
yesterday In the south divisions e West Ham,
defeating Mr.. J. Leicester ChberaD and Maj. @.
Il. Banes (conseryaiivel. The latter repre-
sented the division in the last parliament. Mr.
Hardie admitted that his election a triumph
| for radicalism and that il also showed 20 some
eNten. that the workngmen were tired OF the
Grand Old Man, the Grand Old Umbrella"
and cries Of that sort. Mr.. Hardie added: II
hope we shall soon see the begin
ming OF neg independent labor party
that will be able to attract new radicals,
who have shaken themselves free from
laissez faire liberalism. The news Of my VIC
| tory will reverberate in other constituencies
where the workingmcn's vote is Overwhelmingly
strong. j accept that New Castle program with
a single exception. leasehold enfranchisement.
which 1 will strongly oppose, but the New
Castle program is only means TO an end, and
| If any attempt is made TO shirk labor questions
we shall use every possible means to put them
to the front irrespective Of the party's con-
venience."

J. Fieldin, conservative, was returned without

LIBERAL MAJORITY INDICATED BIT THE GAINS.
The Star today says that il the average Of
yesterdays gains is only maintained il will give
the liberals majority Of $50 members in the
next parliament. while there is a practical GER
tainty that the average will be exceeded.
| The defeat yesterday of Sir I. sutherland,
| the liberal unionist candidate. AT Greenock by
Mr.. John Bruce, liberal, is a deadly blow 10 the
| unionists' cause in Scotland and justifes the
inference that the Scotch unionists will almost
disappear and that the number Of English
unionists will be reduced
With regard to London the radical triumph
at West Ham preludes a roll Of metropolitan
\ victories for the radicals
POLLING IN LONDON TODAY.
Polling will be held in twenty-three London
districts today. In the last parliament seven
teen of these seats were held by conservatives.
The Pail Ndu Gazette saws that the liberals
have begun splendidly. Yesterdays results con-
firm the remarkable precision of the liberal pre-
dictions. The best feature in the detail of VIC
| tories is West Ham. This ought TO be the pre-
cursor Of many victories in London.

orator. is strongly supporting the candidature
