LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION IN THE
WEST RIDING OF l'Ol?KSIIIRE.

The failure of the petitions against the return of Lord t
Milton and Mr. H. F. Beaumont, for the South-West
Riding, has given great satisfaction to the Liberals
of the South-West Riding, and to none more than
to the earnest friends of the cause in the Hudders-
field district. On Tuesday night, at Longwood, the
first of a series of congratulatory meetings was held ;
and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic character.
Speeches were delivered by the members for the South-
West Riding, and by Mr. Leatham, M.P., and Mr.
Mundella, M.P. A resolution expressing confidence in
Lord Milton and Mr. Beaumont was carried. Lord
Milton declared that he had emleavoured to fulfil the
promises he made on the hustings. lie believed that the
Conservatives would not oppose the third reading
of the Irish Church Bill ; that if they were
to do so, it would force the disestablish-
ment of the Church in England. He did not think it
advisable to hold many banquets in honour of party
triumphs, because they fostered ill-feeling among friends
and neighbours who bad different political opi-
nions. Mr. Beaumont thought they had fought
well this session, and scarcely believed that the

House of Lords would throw out the bill on the Irish
Church ; but if they did it would be a nail in their coffins,
and a very long one too.. The real difficulty in regard
to Irish matters would be the land question. He voted
for the Permissive Bill because be thought that legislation
was required, and he wished to press the Government to
take up the question. He concluded by declaring it to be
advisable to have a further redistribution of seats. —Mr.
Leathern made some observations in which he laid
great stress on the importance of the Ballot. He said

that the question was becoming stronger than any
Government, and must eventually triumph. A resolution
was carried expressive of confidence in the present Admin-
istration, and Mr. Mundella, speaking of the subject,
declared that the Government was honest and sincere,
which could scarcely be said of any of its predecessors
since the days of the Commonwealth. After considering
the work before Parliament he said that close application
was required in a member of the House of Commons.
