SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.

SPEECH OP MR. GLADSTONE,

On Saturday the declaration of the poll took place at
Newton. Tho numbers declared by the sheriff, and which
showed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood third
on the poll, were as follows :
Egerton ... 9,171
`Turner
... 8,806
Gladstone
.„ 8,786
Legh 8,476
Heywood ... ... •.. •• • 7,653
Thompson 7,703
The three first were declared duly elected.
Mr. EGERTON and Mr. TURNER having spoken,
Mr. GLADSTONE, who was received with almost unani-
mous cheering, said he was physically unable to make any
effort to address the crowd, so that he was entirely depen-
dent upon its indulgence. The result of his speaking on the
Exchange flags at Liverpool, within the sound of the traffic
of Dale-street and Castle-street, had been that ho had left
his voice behind him. (Laughter.) He then said that as
politicians we live a life of contention, because it rarely
happened that in Parliament time was occupied upon ques-
tions involving principles as to which all were agreed. It
was our happiness to live in a country where the principles
of liberty—liberty of person, of property, of belief, of speech,
of petition—were better understood than they were in any
country in Europe. (Cheers.) He rejoiced to think that the
most ardent politicians, on whatever side he might range
himself, had no hesitation in sharing this feeling of satis-
faction. If he were asked for a political motto, in his search
for one he should be very happy to borrow it from a cha-
racter well known and much respected—ho meant the
policeman--(laughter)—who, when he found a number of
people blocking up the footpath, jogged them gently on the
elbow, and said, "Just keep moving." (Cheers.) When the
policeman said "keep moving," he did not mean, "Rush out
into the streets, and eet

and cabs ; neither did he mean overturn, as well as you can,
everything that comes in your way ;" but what he meant
was, that the people who were there wanted to get on, and
had a good reason for wanting to get on, and therefore it
was a great pity they should stop. That motto, familiar as
the illustration was, he ventured to think was sound in our
political affairs. It was all very well to say, " Things are
very prosperous; why can't you be content?" In all human
institutions there is a principle of taint and corruption—a
principle that led to decay was continually at work, and not
only the popular doctrine of politics, but the truest and
soundest philosophy of human nature, taught that it was
the duty of public men to make it their care and study to
apply to those dangerous principles a corrective in the shape
of a vigilant attempt to mend, and an anxious desire to ad-
vance. (Cheers.) He had now said all that was necessary
for the occasion—("Go on")—that was, all of a controver-
sial character. He had observed that our life was a life of
contention. It was well that in the midst of it there should
be some days of repose. Mr. Egerton, Mr. Turner, and him-
self were not met there to fight their battles, which they
would do on the floor of the House of Commons. touring
what remained to him of political life, ho would persevere
in the course which had been crowned by the approbation
of the electors of South Lancashire. (Cheers.) He was as
deeply indebted to them as it was possible for any man in
his position to be, for he came there a wounded man, and they
had healed his wound. (Cheers.) It was an active, though
he had no doubt a perfectly legal, canvass of twelve months,
carried on by the whole strength of a political party, which
had deprived him of his seat for Oxford, and it was a cam-
paign of two days that had given him his seat for South Lan-
cashire. He regretted that it had not been in his power to
appear oftener as a candidate, but he was thankful for the
result. He could, with sincerity, and without suspicion, offer
condolence to the defeated candidate, because he had been so

recently in their position. (Laughter.) To the gentleman he
had displaced (Mr. Legh) he offered his tribute of sincere
personal respect and regard, and he would go further, and
wish him a seat in Parliament on two conditions, which
were, first, that he wished it, and second, that he did not
displace any of his (Mr. Gladstone's) colour. (Laughter.)
He regretted the defeat of Mr. Heywood, and expressed a
ferront hope and confident expectation that Mr. Thompson
would soon find a seat. (Cheers.) He was sure that his
hon. colleagues who were too far off to shake the hand that
ho offered them—(cheers)—would desire that they should
cordially co-operate where they could, and where they could
not that they should fight out their differences liko men.
(Cheers.) He thanked the committees who had worked

for ".a, ghost of a candidate." (Laughter.) He thanked
the Liberal 'voters, and ho thanked those who had kindly
and generously, whatever might have been their original
party associations, thought fit, in the exercise of their elec-
toral priviloge, to come to the support of one who did not
wear the same colours, to assure to him the seat he nosy
honourably held. He had also to thank those who had
boon opposed to him for their kindness, forbearance, and
moderation. The hardest, thing said of him in the local
press, as far as he knew, was that he was an " erratic poli-
tician." (Laughter.) Ho had been accustomed to hear

that said of him all his life, and having for the greater part
of a quarter of a century held office, and been thrown into

the closest relations with men of the sharpest senses and
perceptions, he would advise a man who was "erratic" not
to try his erratic propensities upon either the trade or the
finances of the country. (Cheers.) Whether the epithet were
just or not, ho referred to it only to show how tenderly
even his adversaries had been disposed to deal with him.

He trusted that the recollection of the fact would go with
him to the Parliament, where they had sent him ; and if ho
felt disposed, in the heat of conflict, to think unkindly of
one who sat against him, the recollection of this election
might tend to revive in his breast a quality which was of
as much value in political as in private life—tlie quality of
Christian charity. (Cheers.) They would part in Chris-
tian charity that day. Some called themselves Liberals,
others Conservatives. The Conservatives contended that
they were the better Liberals, the Liberals that they were
the better Conservatives. He would not say the Liberals
wore right. They thought they proved their case by pointing
to the condition of the country, the sentiments of the
people, and the present relations between class and class.
For the moment let that remain a drawn battle ; let every
man drink his own health with three times three. Honesty
of purpose, manliness of proceeding, straightforwardness,
truth, and energy, had hitherto boon, and he trusted they
would continuo to be, the distinguishing characteristics of
his countrymen. As for our battles, lot them fight them
fairly ; as for our agreements, lot us never cease to re-

member and rejoice that we had a common country, a
glorious country, a noble country, a country with a past
that had given us one of the most distinguished places in
history, and a country with a future before which he pre-
sumed and hoped that oven her past, he was going to say,
might pale ; but, at any rate,. he had a right to say that
future generations of Englishmen would not be unworthy
of those who had gone before. Let all in their stations
labour to that noble end, and we should have no cause to

blush either for that which we had received from our
fathers or for that which we hoped to hand down to our

children. (Loud cheers.)
A local band preceded the right hon. gentleman to the
hustings, and from it to the railway station, playing the
" Conquering Hero," and other airs, and the train by ivhich
Mr. Gladstone travelled loft the station amid loud cheering.
Several members of Parliament were present.
