England’s Election Outlook Shapes Home Rule Debate
The analysis foresees no sweeping victory for either side as results trend toward parity. Losses for Gladstone from anti home rule and Parnellite defections cloud chances of a Liberal majority, with Scotland’s results discouraging for home rule. Parliament’s composition may shift slowly, but the drive toward Irish self government remains, even if Gladstone fails to enter Parliament strongly.

Stuart Portrait of Egbert Benson at New York Historical Society
One of the best preserved modern paintings, Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Egbert Benson, hangs in the hall of the New York Historical Society. After seventy nine years its flesh tones glow, mellowed by time without fading. Benson hosted generously, and his mansion’s cellars were well stocked. The painter, Benson’s guest, likely did not hurry the work, unlike his Washington replicas that now appear washed out in the same venue.
