LIBERAL GAINS IN LONDON
THEY SCORE TWO DISTINCT TRUMPHS IN
TIE ELECTIONS.
HENRY NJ. STANLEY'S DEFEAT-PREVIOUS CON-
SENTATIVE MAJoRITIES IN MANY DIVISIONS
LARGELY REDUCED, But THE LIBERAL
EXPECTATIONS OF A SWEEPING
PARTY MAJORITY CHECKED.
PARTY MAJORITY CHECKED.


London, July 5.-1he polling in the twenty
three London districts to-day proceeded amid
incessant downpour of rain. making all election
display impossible. Assembagcs gathered around
the polling centres only 10 dsperse at once, and
all attempts to hold open-air meetings ceased.
The streams of electors simply recorded their
votes and then hurried away 1t probably
the dullest election time London has ever seen
as far the aspect of the streets went, yet the
best evidence of the genuine kecnness of interest
pervadng the electorate is sound in the fact that
the polling the largest ever known
Viewing the result as whole the Liberals may
congratulate themselves upon their increased vote
in the London districts, where they are again
defeated, and upon signal triumphs. Nothing
stirred the pulls. of the National Liberal Club to-
night like the rejection Of Richard Chamberlain In
Islington. Apart from the odium which his distin-
guished brother has earned Richard has cOntrived
TO acquire such load of individual dislike that
the Liberal Club men rejoiced in his defeat almost
as personal matter.
The political import Of this triumph was not
greater than that of some other victories, vet
the announcement caused furore OF enthusiasm
the like Of which the clubhouse walls have never
before witnessed. Members leaped into the air
in ecstasy and hurrahed themselves hoarse upon
having got rid of obnoxious personality in
Prliament and inflicted blow upon the hated
enemy
,Ienry NJ Stanleys defeat was taken more
V.ietly. Neither Conservatives nor Liberals
believed that he would be successful Stanley
alone was confident. The Conservatives were too
late in recognizing the mistake they had made in
allowing him to take the place Of who
carried the seat in $50 by Alp majority, and
who still retained the respect of the Conservatives.
Alderman Coldwcl.s, the successful opponent of
Mr. Stanley, speaking at the National Liberal
Club after the election drew an amusing picture
Of Mr. Stanlcv's discomfiture lie said that when
the poll declared Stanley looked dumfoundci,
and that the bouquets prepared for presentation
TO him and his wife in the event of victory were
dsregarced.
Alderman COdwels said to Mr. Stanley. Have
you nothing to say as is customary. in the way
of thanking the election oticcrs?"
Mr. Stanley mumbed some reply to the effect
that he was willing to second motion of thanks.
and he then vanished.
While jubilant over some Of the outstanding
results, the Liberals have reason 10 boast Of
brighter prospects, Their defeat in Perth, where
two contesting Liberals enabled a Unionist TO
head the poll and the loss of Scarborough, Bar
row in Furness Woverhampton, and West st.
Pancras have further checked the expectation
Of a sweeping party majority. Several members
Of the Liberal Executive Committee tonight con-
CURED in expressing fears that they
would lose number of seats
through mismanamemcnt similar to that in Perth
The loss of West WolverhamptOn they attributed
to the spread of fair-trade views, and they con-
sler it probable that other manufacturing centres
will be similarly Influenced Among the seats the
Liberals were confident of capturing were Chelsea
and ST. Helens, and the loss of these causes keen
Disappointment.
To-days gains and losses. taken as a whole, are
equal-each side having six gains and six losses.
The LabOristS made poor show to-day, thclr
candidates being at the foot Of the poll in three
contests
The returns show that so far the Conservatives
have 90 seats, the Liberals SO, the Liberal-Un!on-
lists g, and the Mccarthy es /.
