LONDON, May Elm the House of Com
mons tonight Sir Chas. Dixie moved TO re-
solve that in the opinion of the House it is
desirable to redress the inequalities 10 the
distribution of political power in tha Uni-
ted Kingdom. He complained that the
legitimate influence of large and Important
towns was sWamped by old and decaylng
borroughs In which the power OF single
individual was paramount over lis coDstltu-
ency. Sir Charles continued at great length
pointing out existing anomalies in represen-
tatiOn, and concluded by declaring that the
time for tinkering had gone, e,and a complete
and thorough revision was the only remedy.
Geo. Anderson, the member for Glas-
cow, seconded the motion and showed that
England is entitled to 490, instead of 493,
members of Parliament; Ireland to 50, in
stead of los, and Scotland to 76, insteed of
90. There were s constituents with an
aggregate of 1,S40 voters, which had the
same representation as others with 1885,
600 voters. It was impossible to delay
redistribution much longer.
Thomas Collins opposed the motion, be-
cause no method of redistribution was SET
forth and argued that the counties already
bad the advantage of the boroughs. He op-
posed representation based on population,
because it would result in giving further
D JWer to class already in an unfair ma
iority. True representation was not one
of numbers but of the various elements,
interests and classes OF the community.
Gladstone acknowledged the force Of the
reasons on which the motion was based,
but said he was unable to support it. He
admitted that he was in favor of "a redistri-
button of the seats in Ireland, but even
that was not urgent. The subject was full
of difficulties and it was idle to approach it
unless the members were prepared to deal
with details. This was the last year of the
present parliament and was no time to con-
slider question of such Importance. More
over be believed the public did not demand
such measures at present.
Geo. Dixon spoke infavor of the motion,
and contrasted the cases of Birmingham,
Liverpool and Manchester with those OF
several neighboring villages, showing the
glaring inequality which existed IN their
respective representations.
A division of the House was finally reach
ed, and the motion was rejected by II ayes
to 26S nays.
