TORY LIES.

THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
mdi'lftv-1 beg to direct. your attention to a paragraph in this
tars Morning Herald, under the head of " Election Move-
"'is." The "lies" therein will prove to the public the despe-
rate shifts to which the Tories are driven to bolster up their
rotten cause.
T !laving manoeuvred (this is the fact) to get rid of Lord
e'enr,anuth because his Lordship would act honestly on the
!ivileg,e questicn,' and give fearlessly and conscientiously
poilma'ln support to the Poor-law Act, the " uack"
ssoticiaus of this borough (the Tory "Loyal and Constitutional
1,4
e ca,)/1" %ill know what is meant) began to look out for a
wec'n,, d alotiopoly candidate to stand with Mr. B. B. Cabbell.
amt Sir,
want they
him hunteto subd high and low for such a person. " All
wscribe," said the cormorants, "is
, e a
mere trifle, we declare, and he is sure to come in."
y tried Mr. Hope, M.P. for Gloucester, but he knew the feel-
14e a the boroagh, and declined the honour. A dozen other
gentle
r, 'nen were thought of, but all of them squinted like the
‘2l'et'lleinen in George Crui lc, hank's Omnibus, and buttoned
, their in
pockets directly the name of Marylebone
P4-rnentioned. What was to be done ? The Election
o;watoittee held meeting after meeting. • To-day one
r44ivatil 4
h' (of course I am not personal) was to bring
: a candidate in six or eight hours. They
rn. a couple of days. To-morrow came, but it
, ought no eandidate with it. Another adjournment was asked
ip'"r atdd granted, but " the Lord help 'em," as poor paddy
sav, to
irnt (a fact) candidate could ba "caught." A third adjourn-
was earnestly solicited, and, after much squab-
granted, and yesterday the aforesaid cormorant Election
iraimittee met. deterined to settle the bashdozen or
wrsons there wee; I believe they resolved to send a re-
io Sir James Hamilton ; l;ut if you, Mr. Editor, will
statue ttl,e Morning Herald of th;s day you will find it gravely
hat a 4-reat meeting of the electors was held, and that the
se. entirely. fal it James was numerously signed. All this is
esterday
'Ole only Tory meeting held in Marylebnne
was that of the cormorants alluded to, and I ehal-
(fir those " foul birds," or the celebrated ) reporter who
anyup their food, to affirm that 50 electors could, by
the ibilitY, have been applied to for their signatures to
y!equisition when the paragraph alluded to was concocted.
lafut, Mr. Editor, will Sir James Cockburn spare his son-in-
' (Sir James Hamilton) the 2,0001. ?
I am, Sir, yours obediently,
AN ELECTOR OF THE BOROUGH,
AND -AN ANTI-MONOPOLIST.
