THE DUBLIN BYEELECTION.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.
United Pre— Aaaoci-tion—By Electric Telegraph— Copyrigbt. Received January 23rd, 5.15 p.m. London, January 22. B The bye-election for St. Stephen's Green, Dublin, rendered vacant by the elevation of Mr W. Eenny to the Irish Judicial Bench, has resulted in the return of Mr Campbell, a Unionist, defeating Count Piunkett, the Nationalist candidate, by 138 votes. When the result was announced Count Piunkett, in the course of a speech, asserted that unparalleled forgery and fraud had carried the election. He challenged the accuracy of the majority, and expressed his determination to secure a fair trial of strength. [At the general elections in 1895 Count Piunkett was defeated by Mr Kenny, the majority against him being 562. In September of the same year Mr Kenny, on accepting the appointment of SolicitorGeneral for Ireland, stood for re-election. He waa opposed by Mr Pierce Mahony, whom he defeated by a majority of 452.]
