tions, each OF which maintains that its
special views ought to prevail. One
section holds that the butchers son who
Peraoaated Sir Roger Tichborne, and is
now expiatiDg his offense in prison,
should be instantly liberated and put in
possession Of the Tichborne estates.
Another section refuses to support any
candidate who will not vote for the
suppression Of the traffic In strong

ment Of the Church of England the
sole object worth striving for. A fourth
will not bc satisfied un.ess women are

mere delegate that be shonld enter

been.
SEEKING A CANDIDATE.
la the event of no candidate appear
ing TO solicit the honor of representing
the borough of Bramber, the self-selsct-
ed committee of that borough must en-
deavor to procure one. The area from
which 10 choose embraces nearly nine
million square miles, inhabited By more
than two hundred and forty million
persons. Indeed, the fact is worth not
ing, that any citizen of the British EN-
pire, not under sentence for crime, is
eligible for seat in the Parliament of
the United Kingdom. In the case of
the imaginary Braihbe= Committee, the
difficulty of selection lies in the exist
ence of rivalries among its members.
Most of them consider themselves the
proper persons to represent the constit-
nency but none viii admit that anv
one but himself onght to be elected. /,
Is necessary, then, for the Committee 70
look elsewhere, and they will probably
ask the Political Committee of the Re
form Club in London to help them.
Whether Liberal candidats offers
his services to constituency ,or wheth-
er his services are requested by some
members of it. the hard task is to get
the Liberal electors te agree in support
ing him. The chance is that he will be
distasteful to one of the many sections
into which the party is divided /; and
even if he should suaceed in conciliating
all Of them, be will end himself face to
face with an Irish section which cannot
be conciIiated on any other condition
than that of giving a pledge which is
held to be equivalent to approving the
secession of Ireland from the Union of
the Three kingdoms. The Tory candic
date has none Of these tribulations.
His sole fear is lest one Liberal only
will go to the POLL He knows that the
majority of the electors is Liberal in
opinion, and that his victory depends
upon the extent to which the majority
is split UP. Probably three Liberals,
each supported by section of the par
ty. go to the polls. The Tory obtains
the entire vote of his own party, and a
few votes from Liberals who are dissat-
isfed with all the party candidates, and
who deem it no evil to help the return
of Tory, provided that the failure of
the candidates whom they consider OBJ
jectionable is thereby assured. |
