Crimes.
Special TO the RECoRD-UNIoN.
LONDON, July 5.-The first days en-
gagement in the great electoral contest
has not gone quite so well as the more
sanguine had expected. Out of fifty
eight boroughs reported last night, the
Liberals show net gain of eight. This
proportion would give gain of some
forty borough seats in the whole king
dom.
The Liberal gains and losses give little
indication as to the feeling in the nation
They won seats i'll four ecclesiastical
boroughs-Durham. Hereford, Lincoln
and Reading-and they lost heavily in
the Episcopal town of Rochester. On
the other hand, they won in the manu-
featuring towns of Bradford and Stock
port, but lost in an unexpected fashion
in York and Nottingham. This last
place is the only one where the eight
hour agitation, which at one time threat
ened such dire mischief to the Liberals,
has done any harm. Here Broadhurst,
who was one of the most important erst-
by the candidate OF the more advanced
workingnan, who stood on an eight
hour platform. The much more distin-
gulSned eight-hour champion, Ben Til
lett, failed, however, to unseat Alfred
lllingworth in Bradford. Of Mondays
pollings the chief interest attaches to the
elections in the two districts of Westham.
which are substantially part of London
These two went Tory six years ago by
majorities of ~ and 500. The Liberals
carry them by q and /.
These victories are hailed with excep-
tional tervor, because they are taken as a
guide to what London will do in the next
three days if their promises are fulfilled
and the country districts rise to the meas
ure of expectation. 1t is still on the cards
that Gladstone will have 100 majority.
This is rendered all the more probable by
the fact that the Tory local magnates, as
an habiJual trick, chose for the first davis
polling seats most likely TO show gains
for their party. To-day's list will give
better results from the Liberal point of
view.
The Star says if the average of yester-
days gains is maintained it will give the
Liberals a majority of $50 in the next
Parliament, while there is practical GER
talnty the average will be greater. The
defeat yesterday of Sir Il. Sutherland
Liberal Unionist), at Greenock, by John
Bruce (Liberall, is a death blow to the
UnlOnist cause in Scotland, and indicates
that the number of English Unionists
will be reduced. The Radical triumph at
Westham is prelude to the rolling up of
London victories for the Radicals. Glad
stone is jubilant over Yesterdays results,
especially the return of John Bruce LIB
eral) in Greenock. The returns to $3.50
this afternoon show the election of 50
Conservatives, IL Liberals and Z Liberal
Unionists.
PARN ELLITES ATTACKED.
DUBLIN, July 5.-PlunketJ, Parnellite
candidate, attended church at Tough Ma
crory Sunday. The priest, Father Muir
ply, seized upon the occasion to de-
nounce Plunkett, saying he would not be
allowed to spread his blackguardism
there. Plunkett and his party then with
drew from the church, and the people,
melted by the priest rushed out and mall
treated them. Plunkett and friends were
badly injured.
Leamy, a Parnellite candidate. and his
party supporters. were attacked by a
number of anti-Parnellites yesterday in
Waterford and desperate fight occurred,
during which many contestants were
seriously injured.
An attempt was made to wreck a spe-
cial train conveying 800 Parnellites to a
meeting at Lisdeen, some miscreants
having removed the DoItS nom the rails.
o'CoNNELL's SON.
LONDON, July 5.-Daniel OConnen
son of the great Irish liberator, who is
supporting Right Hon. James Lowther,
Conservative, was asked why he was not
following the footsteps of his father
He replied that it was as an Irish
Catholic that he voted for the Conserva-
tive. II have seen during the past six
years the country, wisely governed.
home rule scheme would be
most disastrous TO Ireland"
LIVELY SCENES.
Mrs. Corvallis West, who was can
wasting for her husband in Wales to-day.
tried to quell row among electors who
refused to hear her husband speak. She
said: II am an Irishwoman, but it was
not until [ came to Wales that found
men capable of refusing to hear a woman
who was pleading cause"
She was interrupted by a storm of wells
and Kisses. Pluckily leaving the plat
form, she forced her way through to the
platform from which the opposition
orator was addressing the crowd, and
tried to argue him silent. He shook his
fists in her face and repealed the attempt.
Finally melee occurred, and Mrs. West
was forced to return to the Unionlsts'
platform. The meeting broke up in dis
order.
GLADSTONE TALKS.
LONDON, July 5.-Gladstone addressed
a large and enthusiastic meeting at Dali
keith to-day. In the course of his speech

To-day's gains and losses have been
about equal. The Times says: THE
flowing tide is absolutely stayed, if not
turned back"

dictions regarding the elections and adj
