Thirteen of the Unionist gains have been in populous London con stituencies, and when we count among Unionist gains such industrial centre as Bouth West Manchester, Burnley, Sunder fand Whitehaven, Coventry, Walsall Chatham, Portsmouth and Devonport, it is alear that it is a political inexactitude to

say that the industrial centres have gone solid for Free Trade. It is worth pointing out that most of the "gains" credited to the Liberals are in essentially Radical consti- tuencies which were captured at the last election by Unionists, owing to the splitting of the laberal and Labour vote among riva candidates. Evidently on the present occasionum the Radicals have united forces. This, by the way, is doubtless the explanation of Mr.

WHISKY WINSTON CHURCHILL's six thousand) ma- jority. Dundee has an electorate of 19,041, and at the bye-election in May, 1908, the Badical poll was over 11,000 against 4,870 polled by the Unioniste, but the Radical vote was split up among three candidates 1 That Las evidently not happened this time. The point to be noted is that the six thousand majority" does not indicate any great change in the political complexion of the constituency such as we have seen, for example, at Sunderland, where the two Unionists had to convert a majority of 12,927 into a minority. The bulk of the constituencies yet to be heard from are apparently "country constituencies, and i these the percentage of Unionist gains will probably be larger than they have been up to the present. We may note that only 86 constituencies represented in the late Parliament by Unionists have been polled And there are consequently 96. Unionist seats and 270 Liberal, Labour and National ist constituencies yet to be heard from.

A note worthy feature of Tuesday's polling was that the elections took place in twenty-six con- stituencies represented by Liberals, and in only four represented by Unionists. Tas Liberals lost four seats to the Unioniste, who retained their own. It was from the first too much to hope that the Unionists would be able to wipe out the enormous majority
