The Liberals lose at Dover by about 300 votes amid a low turnout with 1000 electors not voting. Opponent Barnett was absent. The result hints at Liberal apathy and a Conservative reaction. Catholic clergy in Cloyne endorse Home Rule, planning a Dublin meeting to form a working election group, possibly drawing wider Romish hierarchy support.

Forster on Economic Science at Bradford Meeting
The Right Hon. W. E. Forster, Vice President of the Council, chaired the British Association section on Economic Science at Bradford in an unusual move delivering the inaugural address in St. George's Hall.
