THE REPRESENTATION OF THE KING-

Hillman (Wollaston), T. Darby, B. War,., H. Moore,
D. Williams, W. Cooper, Thompson, &c.
The Chairman expressed the pleasure it gave him
to see such a large meeting there to welcome Mr.
Staveley Hill, who was well known to all of them
—(cheers)—for the high position he had maintained
for many years, and the interest he had taken in
the West Staffordsilire Division—(applausa). lit
had had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Hill's farm-
stead, and could answer for the practicability of his
work. Not only was:hea farmer in that county but
he was a landed proprietor in the Far West of
Canada, and he (the Chairman) 'vas satisfied that
if the friands of agriculture would leave their in-
terests in his hands they would be perfectly
satisfied with the result.
Mr. A. Staveley Hill, who was receievel with loud
and prolonged cheering, said it was his duty to give
an account ta his constituents, and that difficulty
bad been very considerably removed by the fact
that there had been speeches made at -Wordsley and
_ _ . . .

other places in which there had been brought ag-Ains
him everything that might be said to his detriment
and therefore a good opportunity had been afforded
him of knoisiug all that could be said against him.
lie had sat in the House of Commons for seventeen
years. That was a pretty long apprenticeship, and
during eleven of those years -he bad represented
that large division of Lis native county of Stafford
(cheers) He had endeavoured during that time
to the best of his ability, which had been fairly
trained, to show himself worthy of the confidence
of those who had sent him to Parliament —(cheers).
If he had erred or failed in any p rticular it had
been from no failure of desire or unwillingness on
his part. Two speeches had been made in which
certain charges were made against him. One charge
against him was that he promised to support the
County Franchise Bill, unier which so many were
now being admitted to the franchise, and toat he
did not do it. That statement was wholly and
entirely false—(applause). lie had never in his
life said one singie word against the extension of
the franchise, aud the only time upon which it
could be charged against him that he voted in a
way hostile to it, was when snne twelve or fourteen
years ago a .bid was brought in at the end of the
cession, and it was voted it was too late to go en
with the matter that session,—(A. Voice : "Did you
vote for it ?" Another : "Did you vote against
it?' ) Ile asserted most positively as a gentleman
and a Staffordshire man that he never voted against
the Franchise liill in his life; but, on the contrary,
he did vote for it. lie was not in the habit of slii.k-
ing out of the House of Commons on such occasions,
but always voted one way or the other. One of the
papers had tried to make a little capital out of the
fact that he was not in fa,votir of giving that divi-
sion of the county the name of Kingswi:aford ; but
he thought it was better to keep clear of the
boroughs in th-se matters, and that the divisions
of the :.counties should be named North, South,
East, IN est, as the case might be. But he never
said a word against, having that divi,ion named
the Kingswinford division, and when Mr, Harrison
said he was not in his place in the House of Com-
mons to rectify the view he took when he found it
was not the view of his constituents, he referred him
te the manly letter of Mr. Sheridan, where that
gentleman said it was false—(cheers). it had been
boldly stated, either in that room or at Highgate
CAllraoll, that his course of policy upon fiscal
questions had been directed to the t txation of wheat.
There never was anything more untrue than that.
His speeches, both in and out of Parliament, would
bear witness to an absolute contradiction of that.
He asked them what they thought of those who
would go behind his back and make statemenis
they must have known to be false for the purpose
of prejudicing him in the eyes of his constituents—
("Shame"). He was ill favour of the proposal of
Huskisson that they should put more duty on
importations from the United States, until they let
in our glass and iron under less prohibitory duties
—(cheera). At any rate it was worth trying the
experiment so long as it did not increase the price
of the food of the working men. He pointed ou.
that when the Agricultural Holdings Act was passed
by the Conservatives in 1876 he entirely disapproved
of that part of it which enabled landlOrds to contract
themselves out of it, and anyone who read a speech
of his delivered not far from that place in 1880,
would see that he stated one of his first duties upon
returning to Parliament would be to make the Act
compulsory upon all persons. Mr. Green had said
"Mr. Staveley Hill is one of the Tory party who
endeavoured to lessen the amount payable to tenants
for improveim,nts." That atatement was most false.
de had brought a bill into Parliament in which he
set forth an assessment which he believed was most
in favour of the farmer. He established a system
which was known in the Midland Counties to be
most favourable. It was what wao called the "Lin-
colnshire custom." He also provided an agreement
' between the landlord and the tenant, and the whole
thing was so liberal that Mr. Howard, the Radical
member for Bedford, voted for it. and said it was
the only good measure that had been introduced.
Mr.Jlarrison had said the Liberals passed the
Ballot Act Lin spite of 'cory oprosition, and sug-
gested that he (Mr. Hill) was oneuf the Tories
who had opposed it. In 1875, when the Ballot Act
was introduced, he supported it, and he did so be-
cause of the tyranny he had seen Liberal employers
exercise over working pimenlat Coventry in 1872.
He also spoke in the House of Commons in favour
of the Extension of the Hours of the Polling Bill,
and to say no opposed it was a downright he—
(cheers). He denied in the strongest terms the as-
sertion made in connection with the Medical Relief
Bill, that he (Mr. Hill) never voted for measures
that were intended to benefit the working classes,
It was utterly untrue. Mr. Hill incidentally re-
ferred to Lord Randolph Churchill. He had known
him through his life at Oxford, and he was without
exception tho most industrious, the most able, and
the most brilliant speaker he had ever come across
in his life. Some might not agree with his views,
but they must admit he was a right down plucky,
good, successful speaker—(cheers and groans).
Major Walker proposed, "That this meeting ex-
presscs its confidence in Mr. Staveley Hill as mem-
ber of Parliament for this division, and pledges it-
self to use every legitimate exertion to secure his
return at the forthcoming election."— (cheers).
This was seconded by Mr. Henry Smith and
carried.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman for presiding
closed a succesful meeting.

wanted to see a cheap loa, but before that he
should like to see better trade, so that the people
could have money to buy the loaf with. He did not
think it was the fault of the Liberal party, but the
fault of free trade; and he should like to see aO%
put upon flour, so that England would have more
of the trade. Ile thought their present policy soll
a one-sided policy, and that some people would d°
anything rather than give it up.—The meeting Wah•
