(Received January 19, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, January 18. The largeness of the polls throughout the country was due in some degree to the mildness of the weather. Unionist - newspaper recognise that >a. tremendous effort is still required to bring down the Government majority to anything like vanishing point. '".' The' Daily Mail says that rib danger could be greater . than, that of the Nationalists . holding tlie balance of power. Now was the time for all moderate men and wise Liberals to rally to the aid of the country. The naval ports had given them (the Opposition) the lead. \ The Chronicle states that up to the present it looks like an ultimate majority exceeding that obtained by Mr Gladstone in 1885. [The majority on that occasion, not counting the 86 Nationalists, was 86. It is rather singular that the majority over* Conservatives was exactly the number of the Nationalists' total.] ,
