LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22.

TO-DAY is appointed for the nomination at
Stoke-upon-Trent. Mr. GRENFELL and Mr. Ser.
jeant &IKE are equally determined to go to the poll,
and accordingly Mr. linassrotto HOPE'I4 friends are

confident of success. All the heart-sickness of the

Liberal party is shown in the fact that such a

man u kr. Hors hu the merest chance of repre-
senting a large manufacturing district like the
Potteries. On soma grounds, the whole public

might be well pleased to see Mr. Bora
again safely seated under Mr. SPLICER,
clothed and in his right mind, for hie unoontrolled
public appearaiim.s have about them a wildness

which much needs discipline. There must be
in the south or west of England some little
borough which would exactly suit him. The
representation of Stoke, however, fell vacant just
as his ennui was beooming insupportable. It is
true that it was Joux Lxwut Rh:cam's place
that was to be tilled but self-distrust is not one
of Mr. Hates weaknesses. Our readers have
seen his way of conducting a contest, and have
remarked in his correspondence with Mr. Gezzi-
FELL his eagerness to fix a personal quarrel on an
opponent. Mr. GRENFELL had used language
implying that Serjeant SUEZ'S candidateship was
encouraged by Mr. Hors or his friends. The
imputation, if such it be, would not have
been thought insupportable by • candi-

date really standing on his merits. The
point, however, is of no public importance,
for even if Mr. Hors's friends had not been
assisting Serjeant SIIZZ at his meetings it was
plain that they must wish to keep him in the field
and by all means get him to go to the poll But
Mr. HOPE'S inordinate vanity will not permit him
to fight a battle like other men. We must sup-
pose that he was originally constituted like others
in mind ; but something appears to have made
introspection impossible to him, and deprived him
of tho faculty of estimating himself by compa-
riaon with his fellows. Probably there is not
another gentleman in England of his standing
who, in a letter deliberately written, could boast
of "the whole tenor of his public life in and out
" of parliament" as palpable facts which it was an
offence of his opponent to " iguore."
Mr. BERFAMORD HOPE boasts much of the cour-
age with which ho repudiates allegiance to the
leaders of the Conservative party ; he thinks he
must be independent because he is not a devoted
follower of Lord DERBY. The Conservative party,
however, will not the less confidently rely on him
whenever any Liberal measure is to be opposed.
No doubt, there may be some convenience in a
loose conuexion with party leaders where a closer
union with them would impose obligations to

decency which there is no intention of observing.
There is no political party in England which would
like to be answerable for a tenth part of the fana-
tical ribaldry in which Mr. Bisimrosu Hora has
indulged in the Potteries against the in-
stitutions and people of the Free States
of North America. That unquestionably is
all his own, and it is a fair specimen _of

his originality. It is not without cause that Mr. ve;;;, or to lake notice of any future letters on the subject.
