Mr. Brato observed, that altlionall lie did nut happen
to find himself at the head of the poll this d.et, lie bad
tl.e satisfaction to per. rive that the difference was very
trifling, and therefore lie calculated that what he said
Yesterday hail made a due impression. He ho and
and
trusted, indeed, that the independent electors of. fiddle-
x wool!l never declare against anold and tried servaut.
From the general state of the poll, it was ',Woos that
she stale cry of " coalition," a high his late colleague
'l old endeavoured to rare, had produced nu effect what-

there was nu coeliti on his part, as neither lie himself
(.Mr. H.) nor any of his agents, hail ever canvassed for
a second vote in fat .ffir (deny of the other ratelidates.
lint the cry of coalition was nut the ottly objection
r..teed against him (Mr. R.) at this electioit. It was said
ley the friends of the other candidate (Mr. Whitbread),
!fiat as that gentleman had declared in favour of a thy-
roogh Reform, hr (Mr. H.) was hound to support it.
'lke meeting had yesterday heard, and no doubt with
great pleasure, an eloquent speech from an lion. Hano-
i rr, who °bum d, a ith reference to Reform, that gar-
deners would feel it right to tear up weeds by the routs,'
and that so should Reformers tear up every public evil.
himself, he had no hesitation in saying, that he bad
i7n objection to tear up by the roots every proved evil,
sue le, for instance, as useless places and pensions, be-,
I 'use such places and pensions formed no part of our I
Constitution, nor did 'licit existence serve in any degree
to add to the stability of the Crown. Now, upon the
same principle, he could not hesitate to disapprove of
the system, which, while the great Officers of State nett
y no means overpaid, those who rendered nu service ,
1. hetever to the State were paid beyond all calculatios.l
lint with regard to Reform, he certainly objected to,
what was termed the radios, system. Ilk only object
was, to remove those defects in our representation,',
which had arisen out of the lapse of site. lie wished to
restore our ancient Constitution, according to which,
counties, cities and populous towns, or those places
only were allowed to send Representatives to the 'louse
of i:omtnoas which had sufficient wealth to pay their
Reresentatites. lint several of those places bad since
fallen into utter decay, becoming quite unable to make
any such payment as formed the original ground of their
right to send Representatives to the House of Commons.,
This, then, was an abuse which ought to he reenuved.l
Therefore be was an advocate for the abolition of all the
ratten boroughs, and fur the transfer of their franchises
to the populous towns which at present hail Repre-
sentative at all. These, combined with aa abridgment
of the duration of Parliament, were his ideas of Reform,
and sus It was the Reform which he had always support-
ed ; such too was the only Reform which he should con-
linne to aupport, for he was now too old in life to change
La opinion.
Mr. 11(akruerao, whose appearance wasloaded with
snore tluin.:estully ardent expressions of regard and
respect, observed to the people, that if they had witness-
el the entbludasui which he had seen' yesterday upon
