LIBERAL BANQUET AT CROYDON.

The Liberals of Croydon feasted themselves on Tuesday
to the number of 400. There were present Lord Hough-
ton, Lord Stratheden, the Right Hon. T. E. Headlam,
Mr. P. J. Locke King, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P.,
Hon. Captain Egerton, M.P., Major Johnstone, M.P.,
Mr. C. W. Dilke, M.P., Mr. J. Hinde Palmer, M.P.,
Mr. WArthur, M.P., Sir P. O'Brien, M.P., Mr. Julian
Goldsmid, Mr. Leveson Gower, Sir C. W. Dilke, Mr.
Guildford Onslow, 141. P., and Mr. C. Robarts.
Sir C. W. DILgE related how he had been converted
into a supporter of the Ballot. In canvassing Walling-
ford, which, though called a borough, was really an agri-
cultural district, the answer he got from at least one-third
of the whole district was, " I votes as master votes."
That was not a satisfactory answer to one who thought he
was canvassing for principle. More than once he asked,
"Have you no principles?" and the invariable response
was "None at all ; if I don't vote as master votes,
master gives me the sack." He (Sir C. Dilke) had been
a Radical all his life, though he .had never been in
favour of the Ballot until he canvassed an agricultural
constituency. lie now felt that the Ballot was absolutely
necessary, and that they should have made no progress
by the measure of last year until they obtained the Ballot.
Mr. HEADLAM, M.P., asked for indulgence for the
Government if they did not come quite up to expectation.
They had many difficulties to overcome. Among other
topics which must necessarily occupy their attention Were
education, the devolution of landed estates, the adminis-
tration of the poor, the repression of crime, the laws which
regulated the sale of intoxicating drinks, and, greater
than all, the question of the Irish Church. The present
Parliament would make its mark in history,
Mr. LOCKE KING, M.P., spoke very bitterly against
Mr. Disraeli and the late Government, but thought he
done quite right to resign.

Mr. BUXTON, M.P.,on the other hand, eulogised the
present Government. We had now a Government borne
to power by the irresistible will of the whole people—a
Government imbued with the spirit of the people; a
Government that would really express their mind and
judgment in its policy. One remarkable characteristic of
our present Administration was, it did not contain one or
two middle-class men, merely allowed to creep in under
the wing of their superiors, but the popular element was
its paramount and commanding element. Never was there
a time when harmony between the Government and the
nation was more essential. With regard to the
Irish Church, Mr. Buxton remarked : At a meeting
of Conservatives last week a hope was thrown
out that the House of Lords would step forward and
snatch the Irish, Church from the fangs of the Liberal
party. They might depend upon it that the Lords would
not be so misguided as to adopt that sage advice.
If they did so, what must the result be ? It would
be like the gallant attempt made by an elephant in Ceylon
to stop a train by putting his head down and going full
butt against it. The hon. gentleman expressed his
cordial approval of the reduction policy of the Ministry.
The people of this country during the last two years had
felt what might almost be called the pinch of
poverty. Trade was still stagnant. Vast num-
bers of persons in every rank of life were out of
work. The profits both of commerce and agriculture had
been seriously curtailed. Local taxes had grown terribly
oppressive.. Never would a relief from taxation be more
welcome than now, and yet he much feared that an increase
instead of a reduction of our burdens was before us on
account of the Abysinian war, the bills for which were now
coming in, and he lamented to say that instead of
£5,000,000 so repeatedly promised by the Conservative
Government as the outside of .itst cost, it would amount to
little less than £10,000,000.
