The Kenealy bubble seems to have burst. Dr. Kenealy tried
to obtain the seat for the Hartlepools, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Richardson, for his son, Mr. Ahmed Kenealy, and put the usual machinery in motion. He spoke often, and to large crowds. He did not, however, dwell so much on. the " wrongs of the nobleman in Dartmoor " as on the neces- sity of Triennial Parliaments, and the faces Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli would wear if Dr. Kenealy had a seconder in the House, and the change did not interest the electors. Only 259 voted for Mr. Kenealy, against 1,467 for Captain Young, a local Conservative shipowner, and 1,982 for Mr. Bell, the Liberal candidate. These numbers shows rise of 72 votes for the Tories, and a decline of 318 for the Liberals since last election ; but Dr. Kenealy accounts, we fear, for 259 of the latter.
