TO the ELECTOR 3 of the CITY of LONDON.
G ENTLEMEN,— I n compliance with the wishes of Twiny
et my ft-tends in the City, who think that the sentiments 1
expressed at the meeting of the Liberal Association on
Tuesday last have not been published so fully as they ex-
pected. I venture respectfully to place before the electors the
grounds on which I claimed the honour or their suffrages.
I a
Mwsy political life began with the first agitation 'of the Corn
, and I was a member of the Anti-D.';rn Law League
which,'under the guidance of Mr. -RicbArd Cobden, achieved
thAr repeal—
the greatest social revolution of the age. I
then took an -detive interest in the abroz Ilion of the Naviga-
tion LanN,, although it was a question which tried the con-
„,iltenej, of free traders more than many of the old school of
""..'frowners could endure.
These and the other fiscal changes of the last twenty years
Contr buted so much to the hat piness and prosperity of the
country that the grounds for controversy have been narrowed
very much to the Church Rates and the Ballot. On the first
of these I never hesitated for a moment to admit they were
most discreditable to churchmen, who would gladly raise the
sum by a voluntary rate, and that forcible exaction should
cease without delay. As to the Ballot, althoueli never op-
po-ed to it, I considered that the growing indifference
throughout the country, and the sickly course it was rennin;
in the house of Commons, did not warrant a Quixotic at-
tempt to press it on the constituencies of England at this
time, feeling sure that it' the want of it became a grievance it
must soon be redressed, and I should be then ready to take
my share in the work.
On the question of ;,he franchise I declined to commit my-
self to its immedi.dtc or early reduction, and I based this
liemi - ation, not 'only on what had taken place in America, but
in a field for a fairer trial of democratic e.overnment than any
othe,r, place in the world—Victoria. Australis—where the
worai:dz classes, being chiefly men who hind paid I heir own
Pa's.,sages, involving an outlay of £l5 to £2O, would compare
'ee-y favourably wito those they had lett behind—that they
had a( quired universal sulTrage, and the Ilse they had put it
to, as far as they could, was social and political rctro.zression.
ooh community had felt its effects so sensibly that it
foot
new electoral amendment act was passing triumphantly (in-
volving. for the first time the education test of the elector's
signature) which would disfranchise from one-third to one-
half the electors. At the same time, I stated my wne-ness
to extend the £lO franchise to lodgers, and also would be
glad to see its equalisation in the country as in the to

Was preferable, in a country like ours,feeling
that we were not covered from all ordinary or even extraor-
dinary risks.
_ In defending the privileges of the City I had no misgivings.

the last unimpaired memorial of the dawn of re-
present itive government—its traditions are intimately asso-
ciate 1 with our national history —it still retains the vigour of
maturity; and enjoys the. crodsCulence-ef the vat tuft-Mast'

respect of the country, and I should in common with my
fellow-citizens endeavour to teach all rash innovators that
rte had the power and the will to enforce it.
In submitting my name to the consideration cf the Liberal
electors represented by their committe.,, I d- tcrmined to
abide their decision, and not permit myself to be a party to
any division in the camp. Uniformity of opinion I never
expected, but at some future period my sentiments, which
have been mellowed by experience, may then prove more
acceptable to the constituency than on the present occasion.
—Yours most respectfully,

T. At. MACKAY.
