New Castle-on-Tyne elects two members.
The Freedn0n's Journal Of Dublin and the
National Press (anti-Parnellite), comment.
ing today on the elections Of yesterday
says that the smashing victory Of Messrs
O'Brien and Healy in Cork over
the combined forces of unionism and
Redmondism is splendid beginning. The
paper adds that the heaviest blow home rule
has yet sustained was the defeat Of Mr.. Thos
Sexton In West Belfast. The result was only
too certain, as courage, energy and fractional
treachery combined against him.
The Edinburgh correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that Mr.. Gladstone's reception
in Midlothian has been far less enthusiastic thar
usual. His friends admit that the majority thai
he had in 1885 may be reduced by thousand,
Of votes. The indications are that there will b.
far greater reduction than his friends con.
cede, il his majority is not entirely wiped
out.
LIBERALS KEEP UP HEART.
The liberals persist in regarding that the tide
is flowing decidedly in favor Of Mr.. Gladstone
but admit that the fight is stiff and stubborn
The Pail Mall Gazette holds that the
possibilities are great for gains in the counties
The liberals lost in 1885 sixty seats in the Dor.
roghs and eighty in the counties. Since then
Hodge" (the agriculture laborer), has &C.
CURED large voting power, and it is sup
posed that he leans toward the
liberals. Both sides indulge in pro
phetic bluff that Hodge is theirs. Nothing II
certain except that the agricultural labor vote
holds the key to the position. Today's esti.
mates OF the national federation in Dublin in
dictate anti-Parnellite victories in seventy eight
contests in Ireland, Parnellite victories in four
tory victories in eighteen and liberal victories
in three.
