NOW In THE LEAD
Liberals Make Steady Gains and
Are Now Ahead Of the
Opposition.
To-Day's Balloting, 1t Is
Thought, Will Give Them
q Good Majority.

LONDON, July 15.-To-d days results have
not quite realized Liberal expectations but
they are co; sidered 81 actory confirms
ing the stea ly flow Of gains When the
actual number of Liberal members returned
overtopped the Conservatives the
National Liberal club men INDUCED
in prolonged publications. Hcnceforth
Mr.. Gladstones total will be in the
ascendant II to-day was shade
disappointing Tomorrow will make up for
it. Conservatives admit that the rural
voters are AGAINST them. The st. James
Gazette angrily says that something like
rot has set in among the aSricuiturists. A
feature OF to.day's contests was the ct that
for the first time during the present cleo
tons more opposition seats were n. stake
than Unonist seats. Out of 80 English
counties polling IL were Gadstonian and
Is Unionist. AZ tar as is known
at present the former remain Glad
s.onian. The contest III two Scotch burghs
secured Liberals in their seats. and the
pollings in eight Irish counties are re trted
rs resulting in the return OF McCartnyitcs.
The Liberals thus calculate that to-day's
results add twcnty-seven to the Gladstonian
total
The returns at midnight showed that the
Conservatives had 24S members, the Lber-
ais 49, the McCarthyites 81. the Liberals
Unionists % and the Parnellltcs I, and the
Laborites 3. Ministerialist total, PSI; Glad
stonian total 293.
