THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT WARE/lAN.

The gatheriag of the townspeople of Wareham,
mooned to be the Comrades party of that ma-
lighterd borough, whkth It would need • tremendous

described by our Tory oontemporaries as enthuslastis.

of more than one other of the speakers. Mr. Carp

Parliamentary moo:dare can be re-organised, Mr.
13radlatigh's cam ham to be disposed of. The long
period of reflection which haa elapeel since the burly
albeit last confronted lb. House has not effected
soy known compromise between the opposing parties.
The feeling amongst the constituencies Is still as pro-
nomad, that many Liberal members who agree with
Mr. Gladstose on the constitutional aspect of the
question are afraid of committing themselves by voting
foe Mr. Bradiangh's admission to his stet. A renewal
of the conflict will as felt to be a deplorable waste of
public time; but it seems inevitable, and the Govern.
moot at. known to be unseal on the point. The
hasty aisomption that the Government proposal with
raped to the amendment of the rules of the House
innesnts practically to the dotere has readied no
ellaial denial; but Mr. Gladstooe is sot prow to
premature avowals. The whom which he has so
maturely deliberated is not likely to entbram • principle
so dietestel al to English opinion as that of stifling

impetuosity should lead him to Disks the existence M
