TO THE ELECTORS OF MIDDLESEX.

GENTLEMEN,—
THE death of Mr. Hanbury has deprived you of
the services of a highly-esteemed Representative in
the House of Commons.
For the vacancy thus sadly and unexpectedly occasioned
I venture to offer myself as a Candidate.
There are many among you, I flatter myself, to whom
my name is not unknown as a zealous supporter of the
Liberal cause, and at this important crisis I hold it essen-
tial that any candidate presuming to ask for the suffrages
of such an important and thoroughly Liberal constituency
as that of Middlesex should be able to give trustworthy
assurances of his devotion to the principles which they
have at heart.
Should you do me the honour to return me to Parlia-
ment it would be my first duty to co-operate with those
who desire to effect the passage of an honest and straight-
forward measure of Reform—such a measure as would
prove to the large body of artisans and working men, whom
I hold to he entitled to the franchise, that the House of
Commons is not afraid of the people, nor averse to the free
extension of political privileges, nor disposed to deny to
the intelligent operatives a share in the government of the
country, to whose burdens they are called upon to contri-
bute. If the Reform Bill proposed by the Tory Ministry
be not capable of adaptation to such an end, I should not
hesitate to give my adherence to any course which may
seem the most calculated to attain the desired object.
Respect to the memory of your late Representative will
not allow me for the next few days to take any further
steps to bring myself before the Electors, but 1 shall take
the earliest possible opportunity of meeting you in public
and giving you a detailed, and I trust satisfactory, account
of my views upon all the important political topics of the
day.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
HENRY D. LABOUCHERE.
