Earl Russell met the great body Of the Lib

in respect to reform Was fully explained.
Lord Russell expressed himself rs decidedly
on that occasion as Mr.. Gladstone and John
Bright had previously done Mt Liverpool,
Birmingham and elsewhere. He was, more
over, equally " "rad1cal" In his admiration for
our woIking-men; aud, to sum up all,
he declared war to the knife against
ous Tory ohstructionists. In the
beginning Of his speech, he informed bis
hearers that the Government had consulted
tho only point in which they differed with
him was in regard to the fresh appeal
