27 JULY 1889, Page 2

The Unionist was returned for Marylebone by a majority of

493, Mr. Boulnois gaining 2,579 votes, against 2,086 given to Mr. Leveson Gower. The poll was rather lighter than in 1886, and considerably lighter than in 1885; but the Home-rulers have gained a good deal more ground than they ought to have gained, and much more than they would have gained had the poll been a month earlier. A month later,—when the weightier Marylebone householders are almost all away,—we should probably have been defeated altogether.
