measure. Touching Home Polities Mr. Belli said the
policy of the Liberals was clearly explained in the
addresses of the leaders, but the policy of the
Conservatives was not so plainly put In his
manifesto, Beaconsfield said nothing of what be was
about to do at home although the country was
wel governed, still, many things required reform. If
Lied B— was to be believed, nothing required change.
A great interest was taken in liridport, in the Burials
Bill, a Bill winch would require to be carried. (Cheers)
The matter was keenly felt by • large number of
nonconformists, and the speaker considered it • matter of
jastiee, though many church people were oppased to it,
b it he knew • Liberal Government would carry it at once.
County government and suffrage would occupy the
attention of a Liberal Parl;aineut. The towns bad house-
hold suffrage and municipal councils elected by household
suffrage no persons spending the rates were elected by
ratepayers, governing the town as the ratepayers
wished, and the householders, when a Parliamentary
election came, could sen 4 back a member, and spend the
taxes as they desired. (Hear, hear.) In" countes" men
were differently sitiffated, for unless he occupied a
valuable house he hail not • Parliamentary vote. Mr.
Belli felt sure that magistrates spen the money of rate-
payers wisely and economically, but • period was now
reached when the elective system of towns must be
extended to counties and that in future Parliament will
have to lwekcto! liy household suffrage, and boards
elected in counties for the purposes of government (Hear,
hear and cheers) The new candidate had said that the
extension of bousehotild suffrage to counties would entail
the disfranchisenient of such boroughs as Bridport, but the
hon. speaker wished the electors to remember the Govern-
ment of Ng (when Mr. Disraeli was pryteier) which

justifiable, a Liberal Gave, nment was pled_md to elrry
such a reform—(lood cbeers)—and public opinion would

drive a Conservative Government to alle;or household
suffrage in counties Public opinion made them grant it
to the towns, awl it und,nabtally soon would to counties.
The present Imel system conferred litany benefits : but the
memlarr considered that the effect of the free trade in
corn and the agricultural depression would be to make
changes and refornu in laws of settlement and entail .if
land Faasing on to" Finance" Mr. Ralli alluded to the
bombast of many Conservative addresses, denying the
inc-cite of taxation. 1)1.1 Conservative smokers know

lug) In conclueioo Mr. Rani observed he had oalittc‘l
many subjects of interest, but the matters passed over he
would take the opportunity of explaining to the electors
before the election. But the hon, speaker showed the
principal reasons, inducing bin) to adhere to the Liberal
cause, and expressed the hope that the electors would
return him—leries of Yes,')— and place a Liberal
Dovemment in office instead of one which, during the
last five years, had rules! them. (Deafening cheers.)
$ ducone expressed a wish that the Liberals would
support the ".artny and !levy." Mr ltaiii at once assured

thn that they -would, Pe.rsonally he bed voted for
keeping up the forces and should continue so to do, the
navy was never in a better condition than during the late
Government. The hon. member then stated his intention
to canvass the borough before the polling day and
'luring the canvass he should be pleased to answer any
question put to him, or if any voter wished to
communicate, he should be onl,. too pleased to answer his
letter. With these wonle, Mr. Rani withdrew amid
enthusiatic cheerio* froiu without, and receiving the
hearty congratulations of those in the room, for the
straightforward and consistent speech he had made, an
addrwis which every elector must acknowledge as his
masterpiece. A re.assuring voile; of chmrs went up,
schen, a minute after .1. P. T. Gundry, E-. 1., made his
appearance. Mr. titulary stated it was not his intention to
make a long speech, but he would simply say he would be
failing in his duty were he not to come forward and
heartily coincide with every sentiment expressed by their
hon. and worthy member. (Renewed choering.) He
strongly advised all who had beard him to go borne and
read carefully the statesuianlike address which Lord
Harlington had published, such a banner he was proud to
sail under, for a more statesmanlike speech he never
read Not for a moment ,lid he think that the good cause
so many years supported by the borough of Bridport would
be deserted at this election. (Renewed and louder cheers.)
In the hour of deepest despair of the Liberal party,
Bridport was one of the many places that stuc c tirmlr to
its colours, and Mr. Gundry earnestly expressed the hope
that i.e might be long be spared to fight the Liberal battle
aide by side with those who thought as he (the speaker)
did, Mr. Gundry asked for three cheers for Mr. Ralli and
up went, with one accord, a true British shout for
Liberalism in its policies.
MR. WARTON AGAIN—UPROARIOUS PRO.
CEEDINGS.

The Conservative cu dl it, sided another shade to the
funereal gloom by attuutting a, teething in the way of •
speech mein on Tuesday evening. Oa this n.'- lion he was I
supported ly s certain Mr. Potch who attempted to patch
teethe breach :area ly [widely Mr. Warion'sprev ions speech. ,
Mr. patch appears ta be a very nine littl,, WWI, and is:
said to hove assistel to contest a large numher of previa.
dal elections in his day. Flow far be has been successful
prioriy we have not been able to ascertain. The meeting
was qniet and orderly until the candidate reads pointed
remarks concerning Mr. Radii, whets • perfect uproar pre-
vailed. Several t:mes be attempted to resume his speech;
bat was &soften interrupted. After showing, or attempting
to show, the inaccuracy of Mr. Rattle arithmetical
calculations relative to the rise and fall of the Income
Tex, and that the Conservatives bad softened the rigour
of that tax, he worked the feelings of the crowd to the
tomilimig pint by alluding tq,the policy of the Liberals,
who didn't want toe xt,nd eultrages for the working men,
111,1 wanting to take from Bridport its ancient rights.
14.ich eentiniento as these were received with markt of
discust and disapprt.bation. Hisses and growls were
intermingled • ith "Turn him out—he ought to be turned
alt." Several intoxicated p-none without comnsei.ced the
disturbance, which cave license to boys and the rabble,
and it was YOMO tints ere order could be restored, but
when something akin to quiet was obtained Mr. Warton

down the challenge to meet Mr. Mani, but had since
heard nothing from one of his solicitors to whom he had
expressed the wish. However, the solicitor had been
Ivery kind, for he gave him some bread and cheese, and
not only that, but brought him coned to his views—the
views from tho solicitor's dining and drawing-room
windows. (Laughter and derision.) Mr. Warton Miniy

To judge from the first appearance of the "learned
barrister " before the electors, he evidently basis his
success upon his oratorical powers; but as he after-
wards gave a most serious attention to the speech from
Mr. Ralli, be must be convinced ere this that he must
select another weapon. But should he be so unwise as
to retain that conviction, he must see that he is doing
the very thing to alienate himself and his cause from
the support he is sanguine of possessing. Flowers of
rhetoric, in serious political discourses (and political
discourses should be serious) are like the poppies
among corn, pleasing to those who come only for
amusement, but highly prejudicial and unnecessary to
him who would reap the profit. Even in the politic*
world, a handsome address and a graceful oratory go
a great way to engage the affections of men, but if the
Tory candidate rejoices in the belief that he is possessed
in the smallest degreed of such inestimable attributes,
he is mightily mistaken. Athough he may attempt to

" stamp new vigour on the wondering crowd,
In monosyllables his thunders roll."
One can admire the manly eloquence, noble ardour,
quick recollection and forcible reasoning of a legislator
or borough member in defence of his country or
individual policy, or even the ready utterance of a
finished "Barrister ;" but when a man so far forgets
himself in setting forth as • " spouter" the picking to
pieces and attempting ill-timed puns upon the public
address of his opponent, and to parade it in the ears of
a respectable and educated constituency, then the
intelligent cannot but be disgusted, although the
vulgar rabble may gaze and applause.

A barrister's blush is rather a rara aria and as
unlikely to be seen again as the "Dodo." Although
I question whether any person in the tiresent genera-
tion, over in the course of their existence, saw a
barrister blush, certain it was that the candidate
stated he should exhibit one. On the production of

functionaries, who would have graced the
with their presence, in support of the speaketigi.

but whether the action was to conceal a blush, or
to hide a Wartea his nose, is not known; and

successful 'Arne of • case he had had the honour of
conducting and winning on behalf of working men, the
barrister, strange to say, ventures upon another blush I
Yes, the egotistical man of law absolutely blusAes,
while parading to the electors what he has done,
and what he intends to do (that is, if he's got the
chance).

Backed by the sinews of the law, d to node cause
eelebee, the candidate presented quite a legal appear-
ance (I am not quite sure whether there wasn't a blue-
bag), and unfortunately the arrangement of these
unusual articles at the hustings necessitated the slaves
of the press to move to another table, which, if it had
been about treble the size, would have just suited their
requirements. There were but a few subjects touched
upon, both in the speech and address of the Conserva-
tive candidate, worth attention or time to criticise.
But, with permission, I cannot let a few words which
the Tory candidate employs in his address pass with-
out taking the liberty to term them hypocritical. He
says "criticism is not a policy." I am at one with
him. I grant him that. But why then did he so
maliciously and persistently delight in criticising such
a sensible and consistent address as that issued by the
sitting Liberal member, Mr. Rail? Interrogatively
he also says "Is Mr. Gladstone to rush in where Lord
Hartington fears to tread? I would ask Mr. Warton
what on earth possessed him to be led to rush into •
borough where angels (were they Tories, and I hope
they are not) would fear to tread? For the glorious
Liberal triumphs of the late contests in Bridport are
yet verdant in the recollection of the youngest electors.
Mr. Walton either forgets, or is ignorant of the tanning
Goldsmid received, not many years ago, and the
subsequent fate of the unhappy Norfolk, who was
rendered (through exasperation, I believe), so far
insane as to persist in going to church minus his hat,
and indulging in other absurdities and vagaries, for the
delectation of the rising community. Nor can he
forget the refusal of the electors to return a fellow.
townsman, a respected citizen who was on the eve of
appointment to one of the highest positions of trust
and honour, in the power of England to confer (how-
ever much the latter gentleman was maligned, for
those who envied were the Brat to calumniate)—but
apart from this, what does it go to prove, together
with present apparances ? That the town, as ever, is
impervious to the siege of a Tory army. What was
Insinuated at the last election by some enterprising
gentlemen ? Something very extraordinary amongst
Liberals at least. A vigilant watch was kept for what
was pleased to be termed "Bribery and Corruption "
with a view to disfranchise the borough. This simply
meant that they were jealous of anything being done
by the successful member to secure to himself a
charitable name, in short, they intended, as far as
lay in their power, to frustrate any attempts on the
part of Mr. Ralli to benefit the town which had
returned him to Parliament. And, actually, in the
face of this, a Tory complaint is that Mr. Rani Aga
done liU cor noatng for Bridsort This sounds rather
conflicting. Ilan Mr. Belli done anything for Bridport ?
Ask him and he won't tell you—but I know who will I

ttc., Mr. Belli has been the Melina of benefiting,
whether solicited or unsolicited. The 29th inst.
appears to be the earliest day on which the election can
take place. So there is yet a little time to look about.
I hone the Tories are going to look about, although I
am amid the result of their looking will be, that they
will see too many breakers ahead, and won't stand the
ignominy of the poll ; that would be a pity, for we
shouldn't in that case have any fun. Mr. Bali is not
hurrying himself to canvass. I neither blame him,
nor believe the insinuation that "there is disaffection
abroad." It really doesn't look like it.

" The slandertnis tongue its own prattle betray.,
And truth will shine brightly se hassh°°a deca"*"
Mr. Ralli has the same old partisans anti supporters,
the same spirits who stood by him at the last election,
and when the red-letter day arrives, Mr. Rail
undoubtedly will find himself the lion of the poll.

Electors! have you heard the echoolmaster is
abroad? And so he may be. He might as well be
abroad as at home; and so might the brewer until he
becomes a better orator. But after all a brewer may
prove a handy man at some elections, but not
at each an election am we are going to have at
Bridport.

If Dicky didn't commit & breach of etiquette, he
certainly exhibited a lack of gallantry when he
demanded cheers for the women. Mark you, the
women. Dicky evidently didn't remember there were
a few ladies ist the room, encl.& fair sprinkling of the
gentler sex outside, but he must have heard a voice
outside say, "we have /caws in Ilridport.." and
although be may "give the people straw to make
bricks," his was the last straw which broke the
electors' Lacks, and a concussion of the political spine
was evidently far from pleasing the refined tastes of
the political barrister.

Apropos of the "barrister," what a pity it is that
some one don't advise him for his good- but there,
man is such • stubborn animal, and will rarely act
upon good advice, and I suppose barristers never will
be advised, by virtue of their privilege of giving
instead of taking it. But Wart-on will soon be Warf-
el', for moat assuredly will he be swallowed. I hear
that a certain Lord So-and-so, is coming or come, and
some other individual rejoicing in a lengthy namet
• name so long and 80 diMCIIIB to pronounce, that
the electors attempt it, lock-jaw will become
prevalent among the inhabitants. I wish the pre-
fatory nomenclature added by his sponsors to the
family label had been " Joe" or "Bill" but it isn't,
it's something dangerously longer, and I shudder to
think of the results. At m, rata I hope if he comes
to the hustings he won't produce documentary
evidence, or the hotel will have to undergo enlarge"
ment, and a "special' fitted up for the reporters.

In conclusion, the return of Mr. P. RAJA the
sitting Liberal member, is undoubtedly imminent,
being backed by an unbiased majority, as ever nobly
determined to fight the cause of prosperity, pesos,
(and to a great extent) reformation. it is not true
that this constituency, who Briton-like manfully
defended the late and beloved Mr. Kitchell wand en
comers, are now going to depose his worthy ettooseser,
who has proved himself in every respect deserving
the honour conferred upon him. Will they to
the "legacy" left them by the late esteemed .
(iundry ; a legacy which his eon so ably and steadfastly
supporta, viz, the wish that the electors should
defend ever the Liberal character of the borough,
upheld for nearly half a century. The electors say
"No," and eche answers "No." The Tories may
save themselves this time, pahs, and expense of
running their heads against a post (I mean a poll) for
there are sound reasons for Presuming that had not
Mr. Pall's seat in the Rouse of Coniniona been
deemed perfectly at J P. F. Gundry, Esq., would
have himself contested the neat.
