oil forgotten. But 10 and behold after we have done
the very things they advised to do these turn
round and tell the country that do not TO have
vote because We are not enthusiastic enough II we
in any other capacity than that of Taxpayers must
have rows, riots, threatenings such forced
tho last Reform bill into law and then because We take
the hint, they point TO our peaccable attitude as
proof that content with present exclusion.
Verify there is no pleasing some men. To me this
evidences spirit OF determined opposition To reform
altogether And first Of all, with reference to the bill
which has been already introduced into the House of
Commons by Mr. Gladstone though 1t IL admittedly but
the first instamcnt of reform the resolution which has
been moved and seconded, and which have to third,
afirms II to be ga wise and desirable Of REFORM
swise because IL is moderate and desirable, because
1t lessons the magnitude Of grcvous wrong. The OPP
ponents OF the present bill very fond OF rang at
because IL is not comprehensive measure" they
grandy phrase il; but TO me there some wisdom
In the policy pursued II ithad included the redstribu
Zion OF seats of every member whose seat was
threatened would unhestatngiy have voted against IT,
and Joined with the conservatives would have ensured
the defeat OF the BILL but, by keeping that back til the
principle OF the bceA affirmed, they
full consideration in committee, and each clause Is
taken separately they have better chance Of
when It's enemies in detail than when the pha-
ianx OF opposition Is united by Personal interest II the
illitcrate farmer workman OF 1882 was educated
enough to vote, then certainly the giving OF votes
70 much moro enlightened class In 1865 IS
but bare act OF justice-to DO desired,

yeat or course you cannot help these; there always
have been such men and always win be so l?ng seat
In Parliament Is object Of ambition; II rich mon are
mean enough TO bride, willing 10 pay, and electors
willing to vote for money no at Of Parliament can put
corruption down but by an extension OF the franchise

e. they can DO now and when that day comes
tellgence not for their purse; constituencies will send
the best to represent them whether rich or poor
For these reasons sir, well others which might
name, do most heartily indorse the resolution which
has been propoeed and let truly say, do this from
selfish motives through any class prcjudices, but
because believe IL will tend powerfully conso
