MR. HARR% SCRIMS or RINFORM.—The ingest
out scheme of Mr. Hare would probably next be paused io
review by the coedave totraeted with the concoction of a
measure to carry Into effect the intentioes of parliament.
No scheme easatioved by the enthusiastic appemrel of a
political philosopher like J. 8. Mill can fail to be
worthy of at least candid and full orneideratioo.
The outlines of the scheme, as described by its
chief adheresta, are the following :—" The unit of repre-
sentation, i.e., the quota of electors who would be
entitled to have a member to themselves, would be sew-
tailed by the number of voters being divided by the em-
ber of sesta to the house ; and every candidate who ob-
tained that quota would be returned. from however
greet a number of local constituencies it might be
gathered. The votes would. es at preseet, be given
locally ; but any elector would be at liberty to vote
for any candidate to whatever part of the country
he might offer himself. Those 'lectern therefore,
who did not wish to be represented by any of the local can-
didates. might aid by their votes in the return of the person
they liked best among all those throughout the country who
had expeeseed a willingness to be cheese. This would so far
give reality to the electoral rights of the otherwise virtually
disfranchised minority. Hat it is important that cot only
those who refuse to vote for any of the local candidates,
but thorn also who vote for one of them and are defeated,
should be enabled to find elsewhere the representation
which they have net secoesded ie obtaisieg in their own
district. It is therefore provided that as elector may de.
liver a voting paper containing other names in addition to
the one which steeds foremost in hi. preference. His vote
would only be counted for one candidate ; but if the object
of his first choice failed to he returned, from
not having obtained the quote, his second per-
haps might be mew fortunate. He may extend
his list to a greater number, In the order of
his pretemece, so that if the names which stand
sear the top of the lint either cannot make op the quota,
ca are able to make It tip without his vote, the vote may
