, .

-• 973

Right Hon. George Tierney, - . 907
As soon as the Deputy High Bailiff 'announced
the state of the P 011; . , •
:Mr. 'THORNTON ; took the lead in addressing the
Electors. He observed, that he was on the pre-
ceding day almost the loWesf"ori the .Poll; but that the
zeal of his friends had raised him,2B above the
lowest, and he Could.. not doubt that he should
.at
lease preserve his present relative situation. Acl7.
verting to Mr. T!ERNEY'S desire of p/itmpers,
he declared; that while his friends gave him. a pre-
ference, be should not presume to request that they .
would limit their choice as to others; concluding
that he relied on their suPport,. and shoulol always ell-
deavour to deserve it. .
Mr.•TrEaN.sY, with some difficulty, obtained a
hearing. He declared, that. he should not be de-
terred by clamour' and abuse, and though the Poll
wasat present against him, he was not dismayed.—
lie apologized for not attending, sooner,, but was
.w,evented by, a fall.. He observed, that though he
had requested to have p/umpers, he had .no vieWito
fiMit the exertions' of his friends. All, he desired
-*as, a final majority. He, observed, that.EleEtion
contests were like war, one party, might. triumph
to-day and another to--morrow—but be had little.
.doubt of ultimate success. ' •

'Sir THOMAS TuRTON expressed his .hearty .thanks
to his friends for fulfilling his
,expectation of succeSs
by giving him so cOnspictions'a majority.. He ear-,
nestly intieated them 'to persevere, and dcubted.not
that on . Monday he should gain a higher triumph;
He observed, that Mr. TIERNBY affected still rd.-re-
ly on hisiriends, though he was obviously' neglected
by them.; and why ? He had them •at second-hand
;from his Committee, and secyad-hand, things, must
ntie the worse for wear. His own suppoit was span-
new,
the effea of his own exertions in a re4Jeelfill
personal application to his friends at their houses
and their shops.. He had started for the parlia-
mentary plate against many obstacles, but was likely
to reach the goal in spite of ail. He 'ConclUded with
saying, he had not .the presumption to .ask for
Plampers, but 'should be glad of the free choice of
his friends in their own way. •

Of Middlesex have too, much regard for a good
KiNg, to. support a man 'who treats
,him with irre-
lerence, and too much attachment to a good Con-
stitution to wish it to fall a sacrifice to Gallic Re-
formers, it is, not to be doubted that the Ele&ors of
Westminster will be full as loyal and constitutional,
