We shall not be able to announce the result of
the election for Marylebone, where Mr. Boulnois is the Unionist candidate, and is opposed by Mr. G. Leveson-Gower, who gives in his adhe- sion to the principle of " One man, one vote," Local Option, the investiture of the sole control of the civic police in the London County Council, and the taxing of ground-rents. Mr. Leveson- Grower has stated that he takes the Radical view of Royal grants, and, of course, he is a strong Home-ruler for Ireland. It will be a very great blow to the Unionist Party if Mr. Leveson-Gower is returned, or even if he greatly diminishes the Unionist majority; but undoubtedly he is a stronger candi- date than the Gladstoniazis had in 1886; while Mr. Boulnois is not likely to command as much popular favour as Lord Charles Beresford, though Mr. Goschen's powerful speech on his behalf on Thursday, seconded as it was by one from Lord Charles Beresford, ought to bring all earnest Unionists to the poll. In Carmarthenshire, the Gladatonian majority has been reduced from 2,265, at which it stood in 1886, to 1,719, by which majority Mr. Lloyd Morgan (Gladstonian Liberal) was returned on Wednesday against Mr. Williams-Drummond.
