Az ARr 1MPER1ALIsTs.

Public interest is now centered upon
the elections to the exclusion of every
thing else. There is still good deal OF
uncertainty about the nominations for
as many as eight county divisions, but
the results OF the uncontested cleo
tions viii not differ materially from
those OF 1895. The Unionists then had.
outside Of Ireland a majority Of 10
on uncontested seats. They cannot
have majority Of more than 1Ss now
on contested seats outside Of ireland,
and it will probably be cut down below
l2o.
The Liberals have not been without
resources for the bringing Of candidates
into the field, and Herbert Gladstone
has thrown his influence in favor of the
Liberal lmperialists. who are promi-
nent figures in the Liberal campaign.
Captain Lambton. at Newcastle. is the
most conspicuous candidate on the
Liberal sile. and his speeches are deliv-
cred with the authority Of the quarter
deck and are supported by his unique
experience on the ramparts Of Lady
smith. Even at Northampton the I'm
perialist lion and Radical lamb are lying
down together. and at Caithness park
DR.. Clark is hotly opposed by Liberal
imperialist.
The Unionists have been disconcer-
ted by this sudden access of Liberal
spirit. and find the opposition candi-
dates in the majority Of the contested
boroughs and districts as fully COM
mitted as themselves to the annex
alton of the Dutch republics. The ef-
feet would be paralleled if half Of the
electors and candidates for congress on
the Bryan side We're suddenly to accept
Republican principles of finance and
McKinley's policies for Cuba and the
Philippines.
Whatever may be the Unionist ma
jority in the next parliament. there
will be no reversal of policies in South |
Africa. for the Liberal imperialists viii |
be in control Of the opposition benches. |
