and constables, were seriously injured.
Liberals Exulting.
The liberals are exulting over the
gains shown in the election of yester-

il is said, did not wish the marquis to
be u candidate, but when he put his
name forward she wanted him to win.
1t was bold undertaking, however, to
endeavor to oust such man as Lee

and when aroused is q most indefatiga-

Victoria herself was so interested in the
contest that she was kept ADVISED by
telegraph of the progressof the polling.
Lorne Is man of some ability, but he

showed clearly yesterday. So far as
the elections have gone the tories are
eighteen seats ahead, owing to the
number elected without opposition.
