G0schen or Lord harrington. Neither OF these
politicians has any great weight and Mr.. Forster,
while the clearest and most vgorous-minded OF
the three, is personally offensive to the dissenting
members and their constituents Perhaps, on the

popular man Of the three, but he has dull,
heavy way with him which nothing seems
to cure. Mr. Gladstone however, must make
his own absence from the House simultaneous
with any delegation OF his authority as he has too
much OF the old warrior spirit in him to sit by and
allow any challenge to pass unanswered and he
has been too long at the head OF affairs to allow
any lieutenant to take his place while he ID
