All Parties Satisfied.
g The unionists have made steady gains
op the popular vote almost throughout
England. and to a much lesser extent in
Scotland and wales. but all parties and
factions OF parties claim the results are a
vindication of their policies. .,
The unionists stoutly claim that the re-
suit Is a victory for tariff reform. The
liberals deny it stuDborniy. They declare
that the feudal status Of the counties Is re-
sponsible for the conservative gains, and
charge the tri~umvirate-the landlords. the
church and the publioans-with overawing
their dependents and followers by practic-
ing widespread iptimidation and threaten
ing them With loss of work. From the OPP
position point OF view the conservatism of
the counties is due to the loyalty Of the
people to the House Of Lords. their fear OF
socialism and a desire for protection.
Nationalist a Big Factor.

Seely, under secretary for the colonies,
whose constituents showed them under,
soon may be found, one by the promotion
of Herbert Gladstone to the governor gen.

the shelving of some of the older ministers

J. A. Bryce, brother of the ambassador
to the United States, supported by a large
majority In Inverness; Rudolph c. Leh-

nent liberals reelected by the returns re-

The elections continue to be enlivened by
scenes OF turbulance. Mr.. Pease, at Essex,
Saffron, Walden, yesterday was pursued by
a hostile mob, and a prominent broker, Mr..
Leon, who was unsuccessful as a liberal
candidate, was greeted with groans and a
general uproar when he appeared on the
floor of the stock exchange. Timothy

perience similar to that OF Mr.. Pease when

damage than the loss Of his hat.

the Conservative club, amid shouts of

brigade had difficulty in preventing the
mob from doing other damage. Many ar,
