TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

SIR,—As the working classes have reason to
complain that they w ill not be fully represented
by the proposed eaten scion of the franchise, I would
suggest that they, and. all who will be ineligible to
vote under the new B kform Bill, should (as half a
loaf is better than mane) have representatives of
their own these nypresentatives to be elected
through the medium of the ballot, and styled
" Members for Englan il," " Scotland," or " Ireland,'
one or more to each division.

This plan would, I -think, obviate much of the
ill-feeling now existin,g, and give a partial trial to
the Ballot, without with these classes could not be
really represented, an d the power granted them
would prove a " shaloi."—Believe me to be, Sir,
your obedient servant,,
