J. Balfour, speaking sit Glasgow, said he feared that a Gladstone Government would destroy the extension of the Empire in Africa. The outlook in Enrope, he thought, showed that great events were at hand, which were calculated to touch British interests disastrously ; but if feeble in office the Unionists would be sufficiently strong to prevent any serious evil resulting to the cause of tho Union. Messrs Keir, Hardie and Cunning-ham-Gran ame are organising a Labour opposition to Mr Morley's re-election. Mr Gladstone's re-election is almost certain to be opposed. Messrs Cox and VicaTy Gibbs were nominated for the St AlbaDs seat. The latter offered to retire in order that Mr Eitchie might be returned for the constituency, but Mr Cox declined to withdraw.
