ELELTIOM

At twelve o'clock this day the High Bailiff pro-
claimed the Election in the ufual form, at the Ha-
ting& in Covent-Garden. Mr. Fox appeared upon
the hulling., attended by Lord Wicaram Rostrata.,
Mr. Bran, M. P. for Middlefer, Alderman Coons',
Mars. Wispany, GII•IIAIT, and a number of difiin-
guifhed Electors. Mr. Fos was received with repeated
Shouts of applaufe.
Mr. BYNO then came forward, and, in an animated
fixech, propofed Mr. Fox as the fitteft perfon in
she kingdom, to reprefent the City of Weilminfler
in Parliament. He defcribed him as not having been
satiated by any falls or perfonal motives, in taking
upon him, at this important ctifi<, a (hare in the
Adminifiration. He was a man, he raid, " who net
only poffefed the wifdom and the talents, but the
heart and the feeling- which ought to animate the
Minifter of a free people." He fair!, that it had nev'
been the praltice of the Gentlemen who compofed
the prefent Adminiaration, to terrify the people with
falfe alarms—they were well convinced that the
people of England aid not require to be terrified to
excite them to exertions in defence of their country.
Be then expatiated upon the difailrous Bate in which
the laff Adminiaration had left the country, and
deferibed Mr. Pox as the fitteft perfon to Serve, of
even tole* it in this emergency. He cotudnded by
propofing Mr Poi as the Member hr Weeminfier.
Mr. Wisnerr then came forward, and (poke rot
nearly half an hour, during which time he was re-
peatedly interrupted by cries of " Fox! Fox!" His
,ech was chiefly diretted ageing the meafures
which had been 'Maned by the late Adminifiration.
Mr. Fox then addreffcd the Eleaors. He began by
explaining the law which required a re.eleaion, in the
event of a Member of Parliament accepting an of.
ice under Government, the purpore of which was,
that the Electors might, in returning a perfon of the
lathe tame, take care that they did net return one of
different principles. If they thought that he had in
the leall altered his political fentimeots, he folemnly
called upon them to difebarge their duty and to re-
jeft him. He difclaimed all perfonal motives as
having situated his conduit in accepting a (hare
lb the Government at this momentous and pe-
rilous erifis. Wh he turned his eyes he faw
nothing to hope, but every thing to fear, for his
owls credit, in conducing the high office unroll-
ed to him. At home, unavoidable burthens—.
abroad, where his department called him more par-
ticularly to turn his attention, nothing but ruin ; yet
Pbe trufled, that the victory of Trafalgar, if followed
.
up in a proper manner, might in a great meafnre atone
for the Continental diallers. He concluded by folemn.,
ly afuring the Eleaors, that he remained unchanged
in his political principles; that he was Bill the fame
friend to liberty, and as great an enemy to cortup.
tion as ever; and that he would alto continue the
fame detetmined Supporter of the privileges of the
people, as limed to them by our glorious Conflitu-
tion.
The Iflgh Bailiff then called for a fhew of hands,
of which there was an unanimous difplay in favour of
the old Reprefentative, who was declaredduly defied.
Mt. Fox, in a neat Speech, thanked the Electors.
Mr. bRATIAM then came forward, and recapitulat-
ed the Cervices rendered by Mr. Fox to the country ;
bet, he Paid, there was another perfon (Mr. Sheridan),
who had acted along with him on the fame principles
for twenty-five years, who ought not to be forgotten;
and he was Cure that if that Gentleman could be a
4 Candidate for Weftmiofter, the Eleaors would be-
llow upon him an equal thare of their approbation.
That Gentleman had now reprefented Stafford in
Ave fueceffive Parliaments, and he did not think it
likely that hit confiituents would ever defert him—
but he had a Son, who inherited all the virtues of his
father, and whom he (Mr. Graham) intimated his in-
tention of bringing forward as a candidate on any
enfuing occafion.
Mr. Fox was then chaired in the ufual manner,
1 and received with much exultation the noire congra-
tulations of John Bull.
