LONDON, Nov. THE government, it is
announced, will adopt the policy decided
upon by the liberals of the Leeds con-
ference as expressed by John Bright,
namely: 10 decide the question of re-
forms to the suffrage from that of a new
distribution of parliamentary seats aud
make the suffrage bill the first aid oriuci-
pal business of the coming session. The
text of the suffrage bill has not been de-
cided upon, but it will be called either the
household suffrage bill or the equalization
of franchise bill. The measure will aim
to do away with the present distinction be-
tween borough and county franchises At
present householders in boroughs are en-
titled to vote, while in the counties the
franchise requires that the rent paid shall
equal SO per annum. The decision of
the government to promptly taxa up the
consideration of this bill, has realty re-
ioiced the Parnellits, but the tories are
bitterly opposed to it because of The great
increase IN the Irish electorate which it
will bring about.
