reading iofsthe bill enfranchising women,
and argued over the old track in favor of it.
Dir. Bouvorie opposed it with the old Oh
jections. Mr.. Gladstone said he was not
prepared to sustain the measure, for

manhood in; the trying scenes and. tur-
bulent excitements of elections. He pre-
ferTed the Italian idea of female suffrage,
founded on property, but exercised by
proxy. He was opposed to the bill in its
present shape, but was willing to sustain a
careful measure for the same object. =.

objections, and thought the scenes at cleo
tons were easily avoidable by the same
means which already enabled members; un-
interested to vote. ~, ~. ~
