TIIE CoIIING ELECIION.

We have now approached so near to the General
Election that we have almost begun to count the
hours which precede it, am! it is well for us at such a
juncture ta remind our fa ien,ls that I heir duties as
good Liberals do not consist in simply voting for the
Liberal candidate, but in persuading others, and point-
ing out the numerous reasons why a Lilaral Govern.
ment would be the moat advanta4enus f r the Lotion.
Happily, or rather uahappilv, the electors of P.,„1,
have in many instances felt the ill s Hee!. arising from
etsgnant *trade and Tory in srule. The universal
distress under which the nation haa recently laboured
has left its mark in our inilst, and when the sorry ta!e
we are to hear on All Fools' Day has been told, and the
income tax doubled to meet the reckless expenditure
of Lord Beaconsfield'e Government, it will take som
thousands of pounds out of Poole to make it up when
it is next collected. Ifundreda of pounds have ben
drained ant of our pockets in • most unjustifiable

the estimation in which that m n most in) 111.14 of all
taxes, the income tax, is held here. It is now pretty
well ascertained that the present Government will
rms4er .fdtuhr,,in .gietu the last
s,
w
dbasolve on the bualgetnueeti.av, and if such lathe ca,e we
may expect a Gener•l Election veryearly in April. Some
have gone ,o fares to say that a dissolution will take
place before that time, but this is improbabb.. How-
ever, whether it does or not we ought to be well pre.
pared for every emergency. We may be ca led upon
at any moment to commence active warfare, end the
sooner the day comes the heartier shall we welcome it.
Our opponents are sanguine ef suemss. So sr.
we, but let us not make light of them. They have I
used every device to regain the popularity they lost I
by their petition, even to inakin4 land far their own '
benefit, anal trying to persuade Us that it is for ours,
Their cue has been to mislead the people, to win them
over with mud, and lies, and persor al abuse of every-
thing and everybody connected with Li' oei alism. They
tried coercion, and that upeet the little popularity
they had. A " fishy " petition, though mellow with
six years of axe. is still as fishy as ever it was, and as
indigestible; it let the Canford cat out of the bag, it
showed that the polite request made to the electors to
vote be the u3anorial interest really meant "Refuse
if you dare." We did dare, we refused, we rejected
him who would subjsct us to his iron rule, and we
showed him, as we will show him and his once again,
that our consciences shall dictate to us how we shall
vote, and not the M*ool. of Canford. When we were
represented by Canford interest what did we find--a
thousand broken promises, and a man representing Us
who misled half the constituency, who said he was
Liberal on all questions except the Irish Churtb,
and who proved the value of this assertion by never
voting for a Liberal measure all the time he eat in the
House. Was it any wonder, then, that after broken
promises, and such sailing und.r false colours, that the
majority of 120 was secured for Mr. Waring at the
election of 1874 And do Conservatives, who admit
themselves to be in the minority in Poole, for one
moment think that we have forgotten the pros and the
cons which go to regulate the mind of the public upon
political matters. esasal influence alone will carry the
next election, but behind this local influence, behind
the fishy petition, and the Canford screw,
there is another influence nearly, if not quite,
as great—the effect that Tory misrule has had
upon the public mind. This is an influence which
Mr. Schreiber (or whoever comes forward in the Con•
eervative interest, for we hear from very good
authority that it is not at all impr obahle that Mr.
Schreiber will retire from the contest) has all his work
cut out to overcome. What has this present Govern-
ment done in six years? Mr. Bright says "nothing
whatever useful at home, and everything that you can
Imagine that is mischievous abroad.' It has neglected
its own towline's, and minded other people's, its foreign
policy has signally failed. The integrity of the
Ottoman Empire has not been maintained, Turkey is
not reformed, Russia is brought back to the Danube,
the Afghans are our bitter foes, and yet we have no
scientific frontier. The needless swath African WAy
has been sadly 'mismanaged, anal many brave lives
sacrificed, whilst at home we are experiencing every.
thin. that is bad from a r hamerci al point of view,
and our nation is in a deplorable state. But whilst
writing such a tale we are not telling the people of
Poole what they are ignorant of. ney are keenly
sensible of the effects of Tory misrule and on all sides
we hear of the feeling of allecout rat at the present
state of affairs which prevails in our midst. Therefore,
let us praise the courage of our advert's ies, who have
to wage war not only against the Liborals of Poole,
but agaii,st the feelings
produced by recent local and
national history. If there are not alosens on sun
burgess roll at this present moment who call them.
selves Conoervatives, and who will vote against the
Government who have disgraced our nation, then the
opportunities we have had of judging of what the
feelings of the people of Poole are have been made but
bad use of.—Poole Telegram.
