Dec. 7.--Nol daunted by the thiee days' reverses, Hon. A. J. Balfour, leader of the unionist op- position, was busy this morning ad- dressing big meetings in several metro politan ridings, where the liberals ex- pect 10. make a cleau sweep. The unionist leaders urge their followers not to be discouraged as victory often won by the final charge. Balfour stated, to-day, that he expected the is last week of polling would shaw many k gains for unionists, For the government, Hon. John Burns, William 'Crooks (laborite), Ha- mar Greenwood, and Joseph Martin (Canadians), all of. whom won great and' rather unexpected victories for the government, were in the forefront of campaign speech-making, to-day. They . addressed meetings in ridings sometimes miles apart. The Canadians' methods of tioneering have naturally appealed to Asquith and they are in demand at every constituency where elections are still to be held. To-day's liberal papers call on Bal- four, who has, they say, thrice led hiz party to defeat, to resign forth- with. In the nominations, this morn: ing, the coalition party took six out of ten uncontested seats, giving them a majority at noon of seven. Forty constituencies were polled Tuesday, returning 42 members. Of these 292 were in London. Especial in "terest waw centered in Battersea, where John Burns, president of the local sovernment board, had a three-cor- nered fight.

In January votes to the unionists' 7,805. To-day his vote was 7,836 to 6,544 for the unionist candidate. The socialist nom- inee obtained only 477 votes. London again disappointed the un- jonists' hopes. The twenty-two consti- tuencies in the city polled to-day vey turnad in January thirteen unionists, eight. liberals and one laborite. Two soats were lost by the unionists, ome laborite and ope liberal gaining them. looking at the aggregate vote of these twenty-two constituencies, there i" Boticenbles the sage dhminution 1a the poll on both sides seen through- out the country. ! In January these twenty-two consti- tuencies east 107,460 _liberal-laborite votes to 117,798 unionist. to-day they cast 92,494 lieral-laborite and 101,- 315 unionist votes. This general result of these London constituencies is in: dicative of what is going on through- ouf England. While both parties show smaller polls, the unionists show the mnller decrease, but it is sot suffi- cient to gain seats, The Elections in Cork. London, Eng., Dec. 7.--Willlam (Brien, independent nationalist, and Matthew Healy, his running mate, have both been elected in Cork city, (Brien defeating William Redmond, brother of John, nationalist leader. Fearing a renewal of the riots which marked yesterday's balloting, the re- turning officers didn't announce the re- sults till noon, to-day. O'Brien and Healy must be put' in the doubtful column.
