Gladstope's Prospects Tor n Working Ma
Iority brighten as the Returns Come
in.
LONDON, July 1o.-Large crowds have
been gathered about the bulletin boards
OF the various newspaper offices, wait
ing for The posting of the results Of the
elections. The crowds were very evil
IDENTIFY of Liberal tendencies, for when
the Gladstonian successes in England
were announced they cheered and
yelled, and in other ways showed their
endowment at the discontinue Of the
Unionists.
It was predicted by the Liberal lead
ers that although the polling in the Dor
oughs did not come up to their expecta'
tons, when the elections took place in
the county constituencies the counties
would wheel into the Liberal line and
cause sorrow to the Unionists. Yester'
day the Liberals felt rather blue over
the county prospects, as the returns did
not appear to bear out their rose col.
ored viewf of the situation. A mild
feeling Of dependency prevailed over
the outlook, as it was feared that Mr..
Gladstone's majority would be greatly
reduced by the county returns. The
Liberals, OF course, did not give up hope
of having q majority, but the figures
| show that they were not making the ex-
! pected gains in the counties.
at noon yesterday, when further re-
/ suits OF Yesterdays election were at
hand, the iaces of those who were gath.
cred at the National Liberal club showed
that, to u certain extent, the counties
were "wheeling into line" At that
| time returns had been received from
eighteen county districts, and they
showed that the Liberals had elected
! their candidates in FIVE Of them that
had formerly been carried by the
U~nionists.
The result of the election in the
southeast division OF Durham caused
the Liberals great Joy. Here the Liber-
al.Unionist majority Of 1885, amount
ing to $50 votes, was wiped out and the
candidate of that party was showed
under a majority of 400. A gain Of
5000 votes in this district was taken to
aupur we'll for the other celebrates,
and the augury proved a true one. Al
most Immediately aftorward it was an
nounced that u Liberal had ousted a
Conservative in the ~Loughborough d.
vision Of Leicestershire. Here Mr.. De-
Lisle, a Tory, who represented the dis
trIct in the last Parliament, had been
defeated by Mr.. Ferguson by a majority
OF 1926. This was a Liberal gain of s4S.
Among the more prominent candl-
dates whose election is announced Is
the Right Honorable Sir Richard E.
Webster, the attorney general. He
stood in the Isle Of Wight division Of
Hampshire, where he wal opposed by
S. F. Mend, Liberal. The latter sue
ceeded in reducing the former Conserv'
alive majority in the district by 1871
votes. The Strand division Of Glouces.
tershire also went under a radical
change Of sentiment, the former Con-
sentative majority of 700 being over
come and replaced by a Liberal ma
Yaniiy Fair says that tho Queen is
much vexed at the defeat Of the Mar
ouis of Lorne, the husband OF the
Princess Louise, who stood as a Liberal
Unionist in the Central division Of
Bradford, where he was defeated BY G.
Shaw Lefevre, the Liberal candidate.
Her. Majesty, the paper says, was great
" opposed to his standing for election,
and wishes him to take the seat in the
House Of Lords to which he Is entitled.
