The Tories won the Mid-Cheshire election on Wednesday by e
majority of 622, the Hon. Alan de Talton Egerton obtaining 4,214 votes, against 3,592 given to the Liberal candidate, Mr. Latham. Both candidates increased their poll over the poll of 1880, Mr. Latham by 218, and the Tory candidate by 346, so that the Tory majority, which was 494 in 1880, mounted up to 622 on this occasion,—i.e., was increased by 128 votes. The poll was nearly exhaustive, and conclusively proves that the Tories retain the feudal power in Mid-Cheshire which they have so long held there.
