LONDON, October 18th. Notwithstanding his promotion to be the Con- servative leader of the Commons it is reported that Balfour will retain his position as Chief Secretary for Ireland.
The Chronicle this morning thinks that Salls bury, would have preferred another Parliamentary leader to Balfour. but he was obliged to accede
to the wishes of his party, unless Hartington had consented to convert the coalition into a permanent union. Ballour is not likely to be as docile to the uling of the triumvirale- Salisbury, Hartington and Chamberlain—as was Smith. The appointment may be regarded as gambler's throw-in hepe that the new leader, will have a beneficial effect upon the coming election.
The Times says that only the dallest malignity can prelend that Ballour has not earned his promotion. It is absurd to talk of nepotism. The Marquis of Salisbury had no more power to Lift his nephew, unless the party desired it than Gladstone would have to make eliber of his sons Chancellor of the Exchequer.
