r:ence and the present feeling in the country. He
asked them to replace their present members by
two gentlemen who would :more fully represent
their opinion. (Cheers, and a voice: "No fear.")
Mr. V. J. Turney seconded and Mr. Phipps sup-
rted fie resolution.

Mr. Miles ri;laied the platform afterwards, and
moved as an amendment, that Sir Richard Temple
and Mr. Bosanquet were not fit and proper persons
to represent the division. (Cheers and counter
cheers.) Mr. Miles maintained that he had a
right to express his dissgreement with the speakers
wren they were saying that which was false, or
making misrepresentations.
Lord Beauchamp rose td order, and said the
speaker should only refer to those points which he
challenged.
Mi. Miles, in reply to statements by the speakers,
contended that tire honour of England sever stood
higher with foreign nations than at the present
time. (Cheers and derision.) Mr. Gladstone and
the Liberal part were quite as much prepared to
maintain the honour and integrity of England as
the Conservatives. (Cheers.) The Conservatives ,
had no special right to maintain the honour and
integrity of the country more than anyonc else.
They were trying to bound on the liberal Govern-
ment to make war in the Soudan, and a more idiotic
policy could not possibly be put before the country.
Mr. Mlles, referring to General Gordon's mission.
said n.; sooner had he got to Khartoum than the
Conservatives said he was gone there to support
slavery, and any stick would, they thought, do to
beat Mr. Gladstone with ; and he reminded the
meeting that those who raised the cry about any
slavery were the party who iasued the circular to
men or-war ordering any slaves to be pushed oil
• British ships if they came onboard. After referring
to the secret treaty inciaent connected with the
Berlin Conference, Mr. Miles said he believed the
majority of the East Worcestershire electors would
not hold the Conservative candidates fit and proper
men to represent them.
Mr. Bosanquet was afterwards questioned on
local option and Sunday closing, He said he did
not believe in local option ; and as to Sunday
closing, his present view was against allowing the
sale of drink for consumption on the premises on
Sundays, (Cueers )
The Chairman declaired the original resolution
carried, and the meeting terminated at a late hour.
