CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION
AT BRI PALEY HILL,
On Men lay cveniue the return of Mr. Brooke-
Robinson, M.P., was celebrated at Brierley Hill. A
banquet tea, given in the Drill Hall. The cempany
numbered up-ver :s of 403, including a numerous
assemblage of laies. Mr. Henry Smith, J.- Pa
presided, and at the head tale!e there were also, in
addition to the Liteeet f the evening, Mrs. Brooke_
Robinson, the Rove. J Stone, J. W. Wiltshaw, J
W. Jordan, and Mes,rs. A. Steveley Hill, M P.;
Wilson Lloyd, Alfred Hickman, J H. Smith, W.
Corbett, W. Freer, W. Waldron, D'Arcy Ells, J.
L. Holberton, W. S. Gortm, J. S. ; Major
Walker; Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Waldron, and Mrs,
D'.A.rcy Ellis. in the body of the hall there were,
among others, Mean. J, Carpnaail (Secreta,rye, H.
Thompson, H. V Breton, W. S. Shepley, E. B.
Langlauds, M. Rollinson, and B. Freeth. During
the dinner the Brierley Hill Glee Party gave ap-
propriate selections of music. The proceedings,
which were highly successful, terminated at a Lae
hour. The loyal toasts were proposed by the
Chairman.
Mr. Wil on Lloyd, in speaking to the toast of
"Church and State," said that in Mr. Brooke-Rob-
inson they had one who would support the union
of Church and State, and a member who had gained
one of the greatest victories of the last election.
He hoped they would determine to make Mr.
Robins )fl safe and sound in his position—(ap-
plause).
The Rev. j, Stone responded.
Mr. W, Corbett then gave "The Houses of Lords
and Commons"
Mr. A. S. Hill, M.P.' who was loudly cheered,
said in reply, that the House of Lords protected
the rights of property, and prevented hasty legisla-
tion. The questions new before the House of
Commons could not be said to be altogether easy
questions. The Conservative party had been but a
short time in office, and yet during that time so
well had they succeeded that Ireland had ceased to
be a difficult question. There might be questions
of foreign policy of difficulty, but they were in
much better hands than in those of the last Gov-
ernment—(hear, hear). The affairs of that country
seemed already to be of a brighter aspect. With
the continuance of a. Conservative Government
matters at home and abroad would do far better in
that year of 1886 than they did during the years of
famine under the Radical Pharoah—(hear, hi ar).
He could take some credit to himself for a foresight
that in Lord Randolph Churchill they had a young,
an energetic, an intellectual, and a bright and in-
dustrious leader (loud cheers) With Lord
Randolph as leader, they had done something to-
wards restoring quiet in Ireland, and were avoiding
the plum and birch rod policy of Mr. Gladstone—
(laughter). Teey were treating Ireland as part
of the British Empire and telling the people that
if there were any bad law they would amend it,
but so long as the law existed they would be called
upon to obey it—(cheers). As to the obstruction
of the Parnellites, led by Sir W. llarcourt, it would
be well to prevent it, but he could not say he went
so far as to agree with Lord Randolph in the en.
deavour to give freedom to the House of Commeas
by what he calls "an effective and easy manner of
closing debate by the vote of the majority." Those
words seemed to go further than meat of them
would be inclined to go; because, although now
they formed, with the Unionist Liberals, a majority
in the House of Commons, the time may come when
they—the defenders of the liberties of that country:
would be in a minority when their power of resist-
ing the majority could only be made effectual by a
fair advantage being taken of the members of the
House of Commons—(applause).
The Chairman proposed "The Borough Member."
In doing so he said that for well-nigh thirty years
that borough had been represented by a .gentleman
who had long since lost touch with the interests he
was supposed to represent. Many times had the
Conservatives tried to dislodge him, but they were
always unsuecessful until Mr. Brooke-Robinson
came to the rescue. and he buckled on his armour,
first fought an unsuccessful fight, but nothing
daunted, again came forward, and eventually
secured for them the great victory which they had
met that night to celebrate. Mr. Sheridan, be it
remembered, was an old Parliamentary hand, up to
all those artful dodges that were supposed to catch
the ear, and what was more important, the votes
of the masses—(a Voice "He has bet them now")—
and it required a good deal of courage to come for-
ward and dislodge Mr. Sheridan, but Mr, Robinson
had done that for them—(applause). Mr. Sheridan
might be compared to a political giant, a Goliath,
but the David had been found to bring him down,
and to give him such a knock-down blow that he
believed they would never be troubled with him
again—(cheers), To conve t a majority of 1,200
into a majority of 2.000 the other way was no mean
thing, but this, by pluck, energy, and Indomitable
perseverance, had been achieved, and he had much
pleasure in giving the toast—(loud cheers).
Mr. Brooke-Rnaineera ea, who xraa wooeivo
with loud and enthusiastic cheering, thanked the
company for their generous reception, and said that
the longer he lived, and the more he moved in the
world, the more did he find that the Tory party
were the patriotic party, and the party which had
the moat desire for the welfare and the well.behig
of the people—(hear, hear). l'hey were &lifetime
. in that eistriet ftom unfair rates and railway
charges, and it was their Conservative friend Mr.
Hickman who had done meat to br:ng about a
better state of affairs—(cheers). :It was by the
votes of the working men that he (Mr. Robinson)
had the honour of standing there as their member-:-
(hear, hear). He believed they recorded their votes
on his behalf because they thought, and rightly
thought that he was their frit): d, end he ceuld only
le,pe that that friendship would never be severed—
(loud applaus -). He was quite st re that he and the
working men of that constituency could always hold
their own against the Separatist Liberals, and
whenever the next election came he thought that
the result would be exactly the same, and that he
should rise within those walls on a future occasion
to return thanks as their membet—(loud cheering).
Mr. Alfred Hickman proposed "Prafte and Cam
merce," and other toasts followed.

OPENING OF A CONSEUVATIVE CLUB

AT WORDSLEY.

A Conservative club for Wordsley and district
was opened on Monday night by Mr. A. Staveley
Hill, Q.C., M.P. 'Cher.: were also amongst those
present at the ceremony Mr. Brooke• Robinson,
ALP, Major Walktr, Messrs. J. L. Holbertou, F.
Stuart, H. Smith, W. Stuirt, J. H. Walker, Holmes,
Collett (hon. see), &c. The building has a lam,
and commodious reading room, supplied with dairy,
weekly, and evening papers, and materials for
chess, draughts, &c., as well as a still larger room,
which will be used as a lectn-e hall and as a place
in which political and other discussions will beheld.
The club already numbers 10G members, and the-e
is little doubt that in a very short time the number
will be greatly increased, as the club supplies a
long-felt want at Wordsley. In the unavoidable
absence of the Presid, nt (Major Webb) Mr. Stuart
took the chair, and in a short speech introduced Mr.
Staveley Hill to those present.
Mr. Staveley Hill, who was loudly cheered on
rising, said he was very glad to find himself once
more amongst them at Wordsley. They could not
meet without remembering the severe trial they
went through only a year ago, when the issue of the
contest was still doubtful. He, however, struggled
successfully, seconded by their gallant efforts, and
was able to lead them to a victory which would, he
hoped, result to the great good of their country,
They fought the battle under considerable difficul-
ties. He looked upon such institutions as that be
was about to open as calculated to make their
struggles easier in future, because by meeting and
discussing political subjects with one another and
by reading political journals the people would arrive
the more readily at conclusions which they all be-
lieved were fraught with the gravest consequences
for their political future—(eheers). Since that time
they had done him the greatest honour that could
be conferred upon any man by &ecting him unop-
posed to represent them in Parliarnent—(cheers)
They bad thus laid upon him a deep debt of grati-
tude, which he would endeavour to discharge to the
best of his ability. He trusted that institution and
similar institutions throughout the country would
prosper. They all had one work—to study what
should guide them so as to lead their country on
to prosperity and to greatness, to the happiness of
the individual and the prosperity of the people at
large—(great cheering).
Major Walker, in an effective and vigorous
speech, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Staveley
Hill.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Brook-Robinson
and carried.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.
