OPPOSITION GAINS.
Polish Government Setback in Elections. MORE DEMOCRATIC TREND. (Received ]2.30 p.m.) WARSAW, December 19. Provisional results of the municipal elections in 52 towns and cities in which members of the Opposition participated show substantial Opposition gains at the expense of the Government National Unity camp, which obtained under 25 per cent of the votes in most of the centres except Warsaw. Anti-fiovernmeiit majorities were formed by the combination of Socialist and Jewish parties. The elections were the first under the new electoral law, which is more democratic. Members of the Opposition boycotted the Parliamentary elections and now claim that the municipal elections were a national plebiscite by which the Government was defeated.
