LONDON, july 1o, lcJ.-lHe OuiOiiiStS
started in yesterday the first day of the
elections for members of the new Parlia-
ment. by returning twenty-eigEt men to
the House without opposition, while the
Liberals returned only three, and the
Parneliite faction of the Irish party
also scored three The Conservative or
gans hail this result as a good omen,
and rightly. too The success of the
Unionists at the polls in actual contests
cannot anywhere nearly correspond with
this showing. but there is an undoubted
significance in the fact that the Liber-
ais have permitted judgment to go
against them by default in so large
number of constituencies. at the very
beginning of the conflict. The remain
der of the constituencies in which
there are no opposing candidates now
sw only fifteen where there is
no Unionist standing against 115
where there is no candidate representing
the Liberal party. This state of things
is very reasonably regarded as the re-
suit of conviction on the part of the
Liberals that the contest is hopeless in
these particular divisions or districts.
Hitherto the Liberals have contested
these seats with the notion that there
here and there, but on this occasion
they seem to have concluded that it
would be waste of time and energy
to make the attempt. Consequently they
have abandoned the campaign in these
districts and the Liberal Executive Com
mittee have decided to concentrate their
efforts in contesting for the doubtful
seats in the consciousness that they

share which the last general election
will be extremely lucky and indeed no
body believes that they expect it.
TIM HEALY'S BLOW.
The worst of all the misfortunes that
have overtaken the Liberals and Home
Rulers in this campaign, or in fact since
the retirement of Mr.. Gladstone, has
been the discloures made by Mr. Tim
othy NJ Hea1y concerning the relations
of the Liberal whips with the anti-Par-
neIlite leaders. Every Liberal and every
McCarthyite deplores these revelations.
and the feeling is widespread that all of
tn power which the priesthood usually
exert over the Irish electors or all of
the power which the priesthood usually
exerting will fall very far short of
counteractirag the baneful influence of Mr..
Healy's disclosures. At the convention
of the Irish National party, held at
Omagh, short distance from London
derry, this week. Mr.. Healy related how
Mr.. Thomas Ellis, the principal Liberal
whip, through the Hon. Edward Blake.
formerly Premier Of Ontario, Dominion
of Canada, bargained with the anti-Par-
nellites for four Irish seats, giving f200
a year for each seat on the condition
that they should be regarded as Liberal
and not Irish Nattonalists seats. This
transaction, assuming that it actually
occurred. and there is no doubt that it
did, was not at all out of the ordinary
line of Irish party dealings. Indeed, the
practice is common with all of the fac
tiens.
The money of both the Unionists and
the Liberals was wanted to assist in de-
fraying the expenses of the registration
of electors and otherwise securing the
Irish seats and neither Mr.. Ellis nor the
Anti-Parnellite leaders considered the ar
rangement as implying the sale of the
Home Rule vote. If such a question had
been involved in the transaction there
certainly would have been no bargain,
as neither party would have entertained
such proposition for a moment. But

also how to distort the matter in the eyes
of the public so as to infiict terrible
blow ito the National cause in order to
crafty his hatred toward his personal
opponents in the Irish Parliamentary
Party The chickering's between members
of the Irish party have been prevalent
has remained for Mr.. Healy to depart
from the custom of fighting out personal
feuds man to man and use the party

by Mr.. Healy of the manner in which
the whips. who are the custodians of the
party funds. are accustomed to distrib-
ute the money, nor can any explanation
that may be made now dissolve the pub
lie and especially the Irish suspicion that
celebrates are commonly bought and
sold the same as potatoes or any other
UNIoNIsT RANT.
Mr. Healy's stab has reached the
jubilant over the incident. They revel
in the Indulgence in disingenuous rant
trafficking in seats and demand the
immediate dismissal of Mr.. Ellis from his
official position. Although Mr.. Ellis dis
tract with the anti -Parnellites. and not
withstanding the fact that every man
whom Mr.. Healy has sought to betoul
affair, the incident will undoubtedly
have the effect TO throw several seats
to the Parnellites and paralyze, the
