thoroughly cotecientious man, and in these days that
was no little thing to he able to say of • man whom
they had at the head at affairs They had now
abundant opportunity of seeing how small a part eel-
science played in the actions of men. When they
looked at the present state oh' the Government, they
could not fail to think there was erre littie outeeme of
tenecientions omviction in their actaens. They were
et totally opposed to all their pretests probe Ono
that it was ahnost inemorivable how any Issily men
having self-esteem and self-respect would for a
moment have placed themselve, in the in idiom,
'smitten they Iwl now &teemed. (Hear, hear.) It
eppranel to him they thought if they held the reins
now they would derive the sAyentege at the general
electe.n, and so they had taken thee, with • view to
maw what would turn up. What would turn up,
he thought, would be that next November they would
turn up themselves—oil their backs. (Laughter
and cheer.). The Conservatives were now dis-
posed to go on with the times in order that a
reasonably good opionion might be formed .4 them
when the general election took place. But had they
any consistency? (No, no.) Had they not done all

aware what the remelt would have heen if they could
have had their fling, but r. Gladstone bad managed
to stave off that fearful evil for which alone they
ought to be for ever grateful to him. He would refer
to the Redistrileition .4 Seats. That was bound et be
a sore want with constituencies like Poole. Pee:ably
they would have preferred th Inge should have remained
AA they were rather than a change should have taken
plate, But they must take • bread, view I e. than
test, and remember the needs of civilisation, what was
best for the meows and whether that could net be
better served by the franchise being placed on a broader
hese,. so that the man who earned his bread by the
..wrett of his brow had a voice in the spending of the
nation's money. (Hear, hear.) While, therefore, in
leeing at the past with soma- measure of regret, he re-
garded the future with &greater degree of hope. (Hear,
how.) Mr. Pascoe Glyn being present, he would like
ety to him that as an elector, if he (Mr. Glyn) went
t.. Parliament imiessing to support Mr. Gladstone, he
should expect him to do it. (Loud cheers.) If his cane
weeding's scruple; prevented him voting with Mr.
Gladstone. then he thought he should come and sur.
render his petition to those who had sent him there.
(Hear, hear.) He was quite prepared to admit they
onild not expect a man to go into Parliament to be
dictated to, as to every step he should take—they
..light not mexpect any man to be a mere delegete, but
1,.- did think that if he could not cranacientiously agree
with the Government he was sent to support in their
main pelicy, he ought to come back and sure-neer his
office. If lie did me so —and he was seeming Mr.
Glyn wwild get int,. Parliament- he would not trive
hint his vote a second time. And more than that he
would say that when it eame to a crucial test, and it
was not smatter of einscience that Isom., I , but
merely one of the C ed., and then if lie failed them
