Council Elections.
The County Council elections (says a Dublin piapen) have resulted on the whole in a strengthening of the National position. Ilore and there a few regrettable reverses have to bo Chronicled, but in the mass the rOrsults arc all right. Mn. Murnac.lian, M.P., was defeated in Tyrone," and! in the West ono or two United League candidates suffered defeat. But it is a.s well that it .should be known that if League candidates in
Connaught have come to grief the disaster is largely attributed tonon-| political reasons. In Ballycastle, County Antrim, a Catholic councillor is returned for the first time by Protestant votes solely 'because he, favored compulsory sale — a triumph 1 for T. W. Russell, which may well miake the landlords of Ulster shake in their shoes.
