On appearing at the window, Mr. Goldsnsid wax
greeted with great applause. He said : Gentlemen, I
have now had the pleasure of being in Bridport some-
what more than a fortnight, and it is ten days or more
since yon fint did me honour of allowing ma to addreu
you. Since that time I have, I hope, made the
acquaintance—not certainly to such an extent es I
could wish, but 'till some aisquainiencie—with the larger
poition of the electors of this borough, and I should be
very much ashamed If I did not thank you for the very
great kindness, and courtesy, and, I may say, amiability,
with which I bare been received by men of all opinions
and parties in the boroesh—(applaria). I told you
before what was the truth—that I had never addressed
a body of men who had been more attentive and more
courteous then you were on the previous occasion—
(appletve)—and I most any that my opinion of your
attention and your courtesy has been confirmed and
increased by the reirption which I have everywhere
experienold—(applause). I must beg von all to believe
that I have done to the beet of my ability what I eould
to pay my tespecte to every resident in this borough—
(heat, hear). You will be well aware that it is
Impossible, even with the !meatuses I have bad, for •
stranger not to make some rnistakes—(hear, howl—
but I can assure you that if I have made mistakes
It has been quite against my will, and without toy
knowledge, and the longer you give me the opportunity
of setting such mistakes right the better I shall be
pleserd—(applause). Having said this much, I wish
tint, if you will allow me, to address • few remarks to
you in answer to the able, and, I meet say, temperate
speech width orroo addressed to you last night by your
present member —(hear, hear). At the same time, (beg
to say that I have no aociriaintanos with him whatever,
and that any feeling of mine in regard to him is purely
of a public nature. I wish him no haricot any sort, but on
the contrary : the only change I wish to make is this—l
think that, as he has told you, for 27 years he bas
worked so exceedingly hard, a little quiet now would not
be bad for hie oonstitution—(laughter)—and, with my
principles, you will not think me far wrong, if I
believe it would be very good for nord-4ebesis and
laughter). Having given that tribute which I think due
to the temperate tone of hie remsiks, you will perhaps
allow me to offer you some comments upon the subjecits
on which be treated. He began with some observations
on the Reform Bill. Now, though I sin very happy to
see the Reform Bill for the present what it is, in its
man features at sill events it has becomes thing of the
peel. Yet there are oertsio remarks he made, to which,
if you will kindly listen to me, I should wish to offer
say answer to the best of my ability. He stated that
the course Mr. Bright recommended to Mr. Gladstone
was to bring forward • Bill simply for effecting an
extension of the franchise, and in no wise to Weil the
distribution of teats. He said that was Mr. Bright's
inion and advice, bet be did not tell you
Mr. Bright's reason, which was this—that if Mr.
Gladstone got in the thin edge of the wedge,
he could afterwards get in the whole of it, saist
then disfranchise and group es much es he pleased—
(applause)—so that instead o/ Bridport being grouped
with Mahon and Lyme, which Mr. Mitchell felt would
be to grievous a thing, you might hate boa grouped

that Mr. Mitchell does not think the latter an evil.
d all the
Iped
lays that the prima bill will last hi. time, "

ald b.
thought the use-the only use-your franchise.
in, you are quite right-(langhte4
what he said-Omar, bear). I do not think you are all
eh
of that opinion; I may be mistaken, but I don't think
to you was to lest es long as ba lived, and, if fyyou7lithyineke
to
I shell be, because it is not generally he gem
who talk loudest that vote the straighteett-4leefiheieZ te
but on the oontrary-(theerr). I would -n
suggest to you that Mr. Mitchell's doetrine is rather
curious. He says you were going to be grouped with
Honiton and Lyme-that wrs • dreadful thing, become,
very likely, he would not tau been the member for dm
group; or you might be disfranchised, but, says Ur.
Mitchell, that dont matter, because it won't happen so
lone as I live, therefore you may be quite satisfied.
Now, I don't look to Mr. Mitchell or to Mr. Goldsmid,
but to the borone of Bridport, and what I one to you
i. that Mr. Bright has declsred in the House of
C:OCOLDOOS, that be and those who set with him will
never be satisfied till they have disfranithi,ed what
he sails "the neat of corruption" in Wilts as'! Dorset,
and the South of idogland, And given the seats to the
men of the north-(aeplause). That is the policy Mr.
Mitchell will go to Parlament to advociate-(oheers and
arise of ' no, no"). It is perfectly true that Mr.
Mitchell will tell you he will vote against such •
measure when it comes before the House, but I want to
know this-what lithe ate of your returning • member
to strengthen a petty and make them powerful enotto
to carry everything before them, and then one yodel '
against • partimdar measure ?-(applause). Mr. Mitchell
has already shown you the uselessness of such • course.
because you hove already lost one member -(hear, bear).
Bs says. "You may be grouped, that would be
dreadful; but if you are disfranchised, have patience!'
-(leughtez). bowl don't know what that gentleman's
views are, but, for myself, I would rather have my
horns tied than my heed cut off -(heer, hear). Mr.
Mitchell perhaps goons the value of his own best best,
and be don't care about it-(laughter and applause).
Now, gentlemen, I admit that these as. matters of
opinion ; I only give you ray opinion, and you are quite
welcome to take it for what it is worth-thear, hear)-
but that is my feeling. In nosy other portions of Mr.
Mitchell's speech as to Reform I quite agree, because it
seemed to me that he gave most excellent reasons why be
should have voted exactly contrary to what he did-
(langhter)-in fact, gentlemen "the hands terra the ,
hands of Jacob, but the 'Mee was the voice of Ran"
-(applause, and laughter). There is one point upon
which I do agree with Yr. Mikhail, to., that the
personal payment of rates is • most important question,
and the existing system
requires great alteration. But,
how does that matter steed? Mr. Mitchell does not
tell you whether he voted with Mr. Bodgkinson or not;
and what did Mr. Disraeli say about it ? 111 do not detain

natured bat rather weak little joke-(lushier). How
does this question of rate* stand? because I believe you
are all intended in it. Mr. Dieraeli's Bill was that the
landlord and tenant should be able to agree as to who
should pay the rates, awl that provided the rates were
paid then the landlord or tenant should have the vote
as they could ogre*. I don't say thet was the best thing
that could be done, but I do think that wa. nearer
your view and tourer the right view than what was
carried. Now, who moved in this matter of personal
rating! Mr. Hodgkinson. • supporter of Mr. Gladstone.
Who moved the rider and suppoi tad that motion! Mr.
Childers, Mr. Gladstone's Secretary to the Treasury.
Who supported thus two propositions! Mr. Gladden*
himself-(applause). What did Mr. Disraeli say? for I
hoard him myself • though, perhaps, I have not worked
so bard in the House of Cononoes as your unfortunate
member. I have dose what I could to be fit to ace
myself before you, and, if you return me, I will do
what I eon, according to my view of the duties of a
member of Parliament-and al which I may by and bye
invite you to hear my opinioa-and if you wish to return
ins again, in spite of the opposition which is sure to occur
,ill am now elected, 1 shall not be afraid to encounter it
-(applanae). What 41 Mr. Disraeli say! He said
t that the Government did not wish to deprive the lodger
from voting by aereenet with his landlord; but if the
proposition met the feeling of the House he oh uld be
glad to have • law that was general in ita operation for
the whole country, en as to do away with the Small
, Tenements Act end local acts by which what w a law
in Binniaghans warn not law in Sheffield, and what was
, good for Bridport was bad for Lyme; but he would
make such alterations as were found necessary in the
subsequent Polionent. What did Mr. Diaraeli say
quiie lately at the slue of this seenion, when the subject
was again brought before him! He said, we all know
' that in the Reform Bill of 1832 great modificattous
became neeesaaty, and he was quite aware that in the
Reform Bill of 1868 further modifications would be
necessary-(hear, hear). I shall be proud if you do me
the honour to send me where my voice can be heard to
support such • modification of that measure as shall
make your votes independent of the personal payment
of rates on it stands at preaent-(cheers)-and I shall
farther, as I tdd you the other night, be willing and
endeavour to take opinion of the constituency open
questions affecting them in order that I may be able to
represent them, not in the silent manner which Mr.
Mitchell considers to be "the whole duty of man," but
with the best words I can put into my mouth, and to
the best of my feeble efforts to make known your views
where,in my opieion.they ought to be kaurn-(applause).
I think I have said enough on that point. I wish just to
motile one little observation which seemed to strike either
Mr. Mitchell or some other gentleman, ea, that any
interruption to whet he (Mr. Mitchell) said was in any
way caused by or pleasing to mud( or those gentlemen
who set with me. I can assure you, and I can assure
Mr. Mitchell and his friends, that the interruption be
was subject to was entirely out of our control. The
fact was, some young gentlemen of the age of ten, and
some, perhaps, a little older, were amused by • paper
put up behind my back-1 had no idea what was on it,
at it made them laugh, and I am afraid Mr. Mitchell
thought they were laughing at him -(laughter). I do
not think they were, because I do not think they heard
him-(spplause and laughter)-and it they did bear him
there was nothing laughable in what be said-I rather
began to wish there had been-(obeers and laughter). I
simply my this to show there is no foundation for the
suggestion that we caused or were pleased at the
interruption of Mr. Mitchell's address. While I am on
this subject I cannot pass over the insinuation thrown
out that there has been any sort of intimidation, or
persuasion in an unfair sense, used by any gentleman
.egsaii:yidingrangsbtethail
with whom I am acting. The only forte that °paid
have given iise to ouch au insinuation I will detail to
you, Mr. Mikhail rather complained that this contest
had begun so soon. Now, Mr. Mitchell forgot
that he bad been here 27 years, while I ease*
down a perfect stranger, unknown to you all ;.and I
ask you, should I have acted with common courtesy,
with common sense, and with common discretion, if
I-a man who you bad never seen before-had come
down only a fortnight prior to the election, and baked you
for your votes?-(applause). Was I not bound in
courtesy to everybody here to present myself before you,
and to as many of you u I cos, in order that you may
learn something at me, and having done that, if you
like me, to let me have a Manes- (applause). That is
what I um* to do, and I think I may say that there is
not one gentleman with me but is most anxious, as I am
most anxious, to act with the utmost good feeling and
kindliness to men of all classes and partial in
the town; and I em quite sure of this, that
whether you send Mr. Mitchell or myself to
Parliament, we both desire to represent to the beet of
our nspective abilities, and according to our several
ideas of proper representation, the interests and
feelings of this borough - (applAuse). What has
occurred was this finding myself • stranger here,
and finding also that my time only allowed ine
to go about during the day, when for the most part I
could not find the working men at home-and it is
precisely the working-classes I am particularly anxious
to see and know-I saked one or two gentlemen, whose
acquaintance I have had the pleasure of making, to
allow me to go to the places where their workmen were
employed, and address such of them as would be good
enough to bear me. Both the gentlemen to whom I
allude kindly gave me that permission, but, at the
mine time, before allowing me to address their work.
men,. they told every man there-and it is in the
recollection of such of you amongst them as are
present-that they aceeeded to my request to allow me
to address thou who were willing to hear me, without

(Nimbuses). As to the matter in question, every gentle-
man and every workman who was present at those two
places knows that what mused is exactly as I have told
you. If I had had tin honour of l-ing acquainted with
the gentlemen who are friends of Mr. Mitchell, I should
have licked them to allow me to do the same at their
workshops. What reception such • request would have
met with I don't imow ; but I should have asked them

made slaves of, they would have talked very differently
-(hear, hear). I mean teeny that before arguing about
things we must pat ourselves • little in the motion of
the persons concerned, and not arre simply from our own
point of view. As to church establishments, I am very well
acquainted with a country geographically feral/toot from
us -Hungary - where them io a large body of Protestants
who are amongst the most independent in the world.
opArQlolartleanantnudvmi.besurp.pifrzdthehtimbyt are what
oyez should call
church of the country, and they prefer • tax being put
upon them for the paymest of their own minister.,
bsomoo they }hos mamae their own affair. indepen•
amity. _ I hope souse day to ham an opportunity of
exp Lining to you in a lecture the poeition of the
Protestants in Hungary, and you will WM that they are
m free as yawed's& and there is no people in the
world more akin to us by sympathy and feeling than the
noble people of Hungory. •hoos mostitation is only
mveo years younger than our own. I only radio to
Hungary become Mr. Gladstone speaks of the whole
oontinent as if nothing of the sort existed. It is a
matter not generally known, and I shall be glad to
eke an opportunity of going more at length into the
subject, because you will find it has cheating upon the
Irish Church question. One more remark shout the
establishment is Ireland. Mr. Mitchell told you that
private interests are to be respected-that St. Patrick's
Cathedral-I remember it as • ruin-which INN restored,
at • cost of £150,000. by the late Sir B. Guinnem won't be
taked away from its present poesemora What a very
kind thing that is of Mr. Gladstom to do-(laughter).
A gentleman takes • church in ruins-for it was posi•
tively in that state-ant re-builds it at esortoone oust,
and Mr. Gladstone actually will not make it into an
educational establishment or cavalry barracks? How
evadingly kind that is 1-(laughter). I think throe
"tender mercieo" shows us a little what we may expect
when this is considered a great conesegoo-(applarue).
Mr. Mitchell also accused us of beiog foolish because
we think evil will resu't to the Church of England if
the Irish brunch of the established church be destroyed ;
but what did Mr. Bright and Mr. Roebuck say on
the subject in the House of Commous? They regarded
the diaotablisholent of the Irish Church as of greet
value, but its principal value was thia-that it would
de•l • mortal blow to all establishments, and that if the
Church of Ireland west the Church of Englend would
soon follow -(applaese). I want to know what warrant
Mr. Mitchell has for saying no harm will arise to the
Eoglish Church, when the principal man of the Liberal
party tell us that the severance of the connection between
Church and Stale is their main object--(hear, hear).
I may say one word respecting Mr. Miotiell's allusion to
ritualism. I consider that the Church of England is a
most tolerant church-it admits within its borders great
variety and great freedom in various point., but I do
think it is very mush to be desired that an act of the
legislature should define more Clefirif what may be
allowed without infringing upon the doctrines of the
Church, so that those gentlamen who have a great
regard for the Protestant institutions of the couttry
may know that those who would redly be inclioet to
follow the doctrines of the Church of Home are merely
hovering about the outskirts of the Church of Eogland,
and have no place in her borders. I should be glad to
see passed such a measure as might, without interfering
with individual liberty, give security to the great
population of this country that nothing shall
Impinge on the noble fabric which has been built
up by their ancestors, and cemented by the
faith and blood of bundreds-(applause). I do not
think I might to detain you by going Into these
questions at length. I wish you merely to know what
I think about them. Now, if you will allow me. I
desire to speak on a subject, which I ought to have
referred to when I previously addressed you, if I had
not been afraid of wearying you. I then said that I
was in favour of a great apresd of edmation, and that I
considered it was porticolsrly essential now when the
franchise sad a share in the Government of the country
had been given to a larger number of the people. What
I wish to see is, a cheap, general, and ootopieheneye
education brought to every poor man's door, but I do
not think it would do in England to make it obligatory on
• man to do what he did not wish with his children,
because "an Emlishntho's house is hh molls," and he
does not like the Government to poke its noes between
him and his children. But I quite think that the
Government ought to offer every Inducement by giving
appointments to them who mend a very elementary
education in preference to mush as were not too qualified.
I am, in fact, for education being enforced by all
moral means, but not by direct coercion, because
I think that is on.English-(bear, hear.) As to the
relations between capital and labour-between masters
and the employed, I should desire to see brought about
what answers extremely well abroad-a tribunal chosen
partly from the workmen and partly from the masters
to arbitrate in every dispute between the two parties;
that them should be delegates chosen wh it
became reemeary by the workmen from amongst them-
selves, end by the masters from amongst themselves, to
meet at stated times and decided all disputes between
the two in on amicable manner' without exercising any
coercion, or forcing men into • particular way of work-
(applause). I would just say • few words in respect to
another subject, vii., the Poor Law. I think it is of
great importance that some measure should be brought
before Parliament which, without weighing unduly on
the ratepayers, shoold enable out-door relief to be
more largely given--(applause)-because many a poor
men, who has paid rate, and supported others through
a long and hard-working life, is brought late in years by
some misfortune to be no longer able to earn his brood
for himself and those near an dear to him; if be was
sent to the workhouse or union, it would bresk up hh
home and he would have to mill his goods at •
great samillee, and if he should be better off
afterwards it would oast him twice or three times
as much to renew them again-(applatian) I shall
therefor* give my most earnest support to any measure
that would extend to the poor honest labourer-the
hardworking men who hat some to grief -the means
of keeping out of the union and remaining with his
(applause). I was taunted yesterday with
saying I did not consider • member of Parliament
to have done his duty to his constituency who did not
speak for them in Parliament, and I was answered, "If
everybody spoke in the House of Commons it would
become •Isesr-garden." In reply to that I my, if nobody
spoke how should we be governed at all?-(1thsr, hear,
and laughter). If you had 858 Mr. Mitchell, in the
House of Commons, what would become of the
coantry 1- (applause). lan not saying this bemuse I
wish you to infer that Mr. Mitchell doss not work very
honestly acid very laboriously, but to show that if be
says such absurd things as that he lays hinted( open to
an absurd answer-(bear, hem). I mean to indimie
that if I had sat In Parliament for this borough 77 mars
there must have been question, before the Home
interesting to the coectry and to you, and that
your representative ought to be able on thous
°cessions to mate himself heard-(applaaset That is
my opinion of the duty of • member of Parliament--
(heir, Mas)-end I way Moo that he ought tabs ready to
sit on committees, and to do his work la the evenings,
and that all these qualifications Monk be consbioed-
(applatte). Is will be for you to judge, if you send me
to the House of Coatroom, when I come baek, whether
