THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 18ftl.

Lord STRATIIEDEN'S protest against the third
reading of the Appropriation of Seats Bill appears
opportunely enough with the result of the election
in South Lancashire. The triumphant return of
the Tory Candidate is a perfect justification of that
protest of Lord STATHEDEN. It is more than that.
It is a glaring evidence of the folly of that wretched,
little, peddling, bit-by-bit reform system in favour
of which the Liberal party, as represented in the
present Coalition, appear to have abandoned their
endeavours to carry through any measure of a really
comprehensive character. There, in effect, is proof
positive of that folly—there, in the return at the
head of the poll of Mr. CHARLES TURNER, the
Conservative Candidate, now M.P. for South Lan-
cashire. Our contemporary, the Observer, as the
Liberal Sunday organ of the Government, ap-
pears somehow to have been startled by 'the news
of Mr. TURNER'S success. Insomuch as to cry out
in a sudden paroxysm of dismay—" It is no use
mincing the matter; political power is gradually
Passing away from the Liberal party, and, unless
some event calculated to wake the country to ac-
tion immediately takes place the narrow majority
now -wielded by the Government will soon dwindle
clown to nothing." Adding, moreover, "The only
'event of the kind that can effect the object is a
prompt dissolution of the present Parliament;
because, by bringing the danger home to the
business and bosoms' of all men, there would be
more likelihood of a decisive reaction, which is
the only effectual remedy for the present atrophy
of the Liberal party." Nay, even going 80 far as to
exclaim in a series of almost hysterical ejaculations
—" The circumstance is critical ; the issue is vital;
the time is rapidly speeding; and in a little longer
it will be too late." Winding everything up with that
exaggerated apostrophe so often—and we will endea-
vonx to believe always so inappropriately quoted—
the Miltonic words addressed by SATAN to the le-
gions of the damned! Besides—even, in the present
instance, waiving the origin of the apostrophe—
i't must surely have been regardel, at the worst,
in its present application, as a very monstrous exag-
grration. Supposing, that is to say, that what is now
popularly spoken of as the Conservative Reaction
to be as far spread throughout the constituencies
Lord I)Ennv's most infatuated supporters could
Wish the world to believe—even then surely it
were somewhat preposterous to address the Libe-
ral. Reformers all over the country in these de-
sictiring word; of his Satanic Majesty's :
" Awake, arise ; or befit). ever fallen !"
It ither hard, that, upon the Liberal Party—to sup-
r Ise it can be so very easily swept aside ! Why,
according to this view. of the political situation,
th. e cause referred to must indeed be in a most
t!ekettY condition. The South Lancashire Elec-
'lowed thus lunatbriouldy, is in truth but
the last dropthe h
to o •
t
Coalition, rim over the cup of bitterness for
e last straw. to break the camel's
back of the grand
olla podri da Government. Re-
garding the actual
position of things between oppos-
ing parties, it is c
era..t .
of it. That, we take
.iat prov oking, to say the least
ore. It comes inopportunes 'unanswerable by any
close of the last session fni. Y for Ministers at the
sv a reasons. Firstly—
