cording to the Administration the trust demanded
by- them, and pointed out that those who believed
most implicitly in the sincerity of the Ministry, au
had the greatest confidence in their ability to earl
out their designs, could not yet adopt the Franchise
Bill unless they believed that it would, taken bYd
itself, be beneficial. The issue for which Lor
Grosvenor provides a substitute is whether the
Franchise Bill—pue.et simple—is worthy of becom-
ing law. It is quite idle to talk, as Mr. Milner
Gibson talked last night, Of bills to be laid on
the table expressing the intentions of Ministers, tie,
be proceeded with " as soon as circumstances wonciu
allow," and the gravity with which he repea%
Mr. Villiers' statement that it is natural to n.
upon electors before fixing upon constituenele
was wonderful. It is, peaaps, natural to bel_
carpets and furuiture before knowing the rooms
be furnished. What are we to think when language
such as this is repeated after its absurdity 1'15,',
been exposed? Mr. Milner Gibson probably hear':

another has since undertaken the defence a 11_,,
Franchise Bill, and that he, the last of them, nf
discreetly followed the example of his predeeesse':f
in eschewing the task of noticing,
meeting, the arguments to be found in it?
