Mr A. Spicer (of Spicer Bros., the great paper-makers), a leading Nonconformist, ; won a Gladstonian seat in Wales (Monmouth County) yesterday, defeating the notorious plutocrat, Sir George Elliott (the " Gorgius Midas" of "Punch").

Pritchard-Mcrgan, the Charters Towers lawyer, whose career of succese in England and Wales would be pronounced absurd if. told in a novel, is again returned for Merthyr Tydvil. Parliament has rubbed off his rough edges wonderfully, and lew would recognise in the staid legis lator of to-day the fiery energetic specula tor of eight years ago.
