Mr. Repton issued an address yesterday afternoon
offering himself for re-election. He says :

" I think that the true principle of representative Govern-
ment is, that every interest should be duly represented ; but
any system of representation based on the principle of re-
presenting numbers is inconsistent with true liberty. Recent
events in America have confirmed that opinion. But at the
same time, any proposal for admitting the more intelligent
members of the working classes to the privilege of the
franchise shall be honestly considered by me."
