LAURI:TM—Mr. Hughes writes :—" House of
Commons, Juno fl. - Sir,--The notice in
,your paper of this
morning as to my intentions in Lambeth is not quite
taconite. I intend to stand en the voluntary principle;
that is to say. I shall employ no paid agent, and open no
assonant.. rooms ; but the neeewary expense of hustings
and public meetings I mean to pay myself. The plan of a
subscription in the constituency to pay a candidate's ex-
penses wems to me open to many grave objections, indeed
to be miserly au improvensent on the pemeut system.
When we want to have pure elections, and the best men
tor owidiciatee, we shall throw all expernel (est ept,
pperr-
heps. the cost of public meetings) on hie rates.—l am.
