POOLB.
THE HON EVELTN AsHLIT, M.P., in speaking at a
Liberal Workmen's Association dinner at Ride on Thurs-
day evening, said the Liberals had been quite united on
the Eastern Question, but the Jews and others had for-
gotten their benefactors. The Liberals should be neither
for Turk nor Russian, but the principle of freedom.
When they said he should wish success to Turkey, they
iu,sht PA well ask him to rescue a malefactor from a
polioeman who didn't read his Bible and beat his wife;
but he would let him arrest his man, ant deal with the
policeman afterwards. He vigorously replied to the
, recent statements on the Eastern Question mad, by the
' Marquis of Salisbury.
Si, WILFRID LAWSON ON THE LORD Or BRANRSEL.
—At a lecture on the rise and progress of the Liberal
, cause, delivered recently at Maryport, Cumberland,
by Mr. Henry Vincent, the chair was occupied by Sir
Wilfrid Lawson, Bait, M.P., who alluded to the
Right Hon. G. A. F. Cavendish Bentinck, M.P. for
! Wbitehaven, Judge-Advocate-General of England, in
the following terms parties now with their Ups,
U not in their hearts, admit that government in a free
country like this ought to be of the people, for the
people, and by the people. (Cheers.) If that be so,
It is incumbent upon US that we should do what we
can to enlighten and instruct the people that they may
know the means of governing themselves. The charge
was made against the Liberal party that it disliked
intelligence and knowledge. Who was it that made
that charge? It was a distinguished member of
Her Majesty's Government their friend Mr.
George Cavendish Bentinck, Judge-Advocate-General
(Laughter.) There was a great meeting of the Tory
party three weeks ago at Keswick. The Tories met
in the Oddiellows' Hall, which was a very suitable
locality. (Laughter.) They expremed great delight
in having such a splendid meeting at Keswick, which
they WO imagined to be very "Blue" plug.

(Laughter and cheers.) There were 180 sat down to
dinner, but on I.x.king through the list he could only
find the names of two Kes.eick men. ((heers and
laughter.) The Tories who sat II ,wn were brought
from the emit, the west, the north, an.l the south.
When the Tory agent had got this goodly tennis my
assembled he put up at the end .4 the room a large
placard with this appropriate motto Itpon it, "
my lambs." (Boars of laughter.) When the lainb.
had been fed they began to bleat. (Renewed laughter.)
'link friend Mr. Bentinek, who he was very !wry to
say was very seldom heard now in the House of Corn.
in.,,,.. enlightening them on the great questions .4
State, held forth in the it.semloly of lambast Keswick,
and said all the Ita.licals deten nothing an inuch as
political intelligence. (I.au ;bier.) Ile was very inueh
surprised —one ought not t. be surprised at anything
Mr. Bentinek Mlyd—but he (the chairman) was young
awl and was apt to be surprised at things
which ought not to surprise him ; but he was sorprised
at • .r. lientinck giving utterance to that remark.
Ile remembered the Ballot 11111 and arliecussion which
totk place upon it one night. The managers of that
Bill inserted a clause to enable the illiterate voter to
give his vote, and he saw Mr. Bentinck in a state of
eestacyllJA delight, saying in effect "Now we have
got the illiterate voter In the Ballot Bill it will do no
harm but a great deal of good." (Laughter and
~beers.) Ile (the chairman) always considered that
the illiterate voter was the sheet anchor of the Tory
party. (Laughter and cheers.) What the Liberal
party has to do in the future is to destroy privileges,
abuses, awl monopolies. (Cheers.) He crinhl not tell
when the time of the Lib .rat victory in West Cum
herbind would come. but he felt sure the time would
come when the yellow sands of the Tory desert,
irrigated by the streams of knowledge, gladdened by
the sunlight of truth, and swept by the breeze of in-
dependent*, shall yet produce a hardy race of
politicians true to the g sel old Liberal cause, who
shall on it.; behalf be prepared to work, to fight, and
I" conquer. (Loud awl sustained cheering.)
