MODERATE LIBERALS DIsPLEAsED.
rvap moderate Liberals are but moderately sat
,s6ed The Daly Necs, usually a stanch Minister
ial organ, swallows this bitter pill with many WY
faces. Mr.. Bright in powerful speech on iueS-
davi,dionantly denounced the whole business anu
professed total distrust of any scheme concer'ea
with the Tories Mr.. john Morley, though ME-
Ch,mberlains next friend he states to support he
bargain.
TORY DELIGHT
The Tories everywhere hail the agree
memt with delight, but mostly
refrain from public expressions of exultatlon WHICH
ale freely INDUCED in in private. Having per-
celyed an extension of the franchise to be inevt-
able they are overioyed with an arrangement
which at the same time insures them share IN
framing new electoral system, which promises TO
maintain the Tory grip on the county stronghoIds'
and gives fresh vitality to a Chamber which is
the best bulwark again t further reform
The Ministerial answer is renewal OF
the former Radical cry that the franchise is first Ill
,mportancc. counled with the plea that constitu
tional reform may be safely entrusted to House
hereafter elected by an enffanchised people.
RADICAL OF burst.
The Radical protest took the form yesterday of a
resolution proposed by Mr.. Labouchere declaring
the reform Of the Lords 10 be urgent. Sir Wilind
Lawson seconded II in his usually hippaht style
Mf Gladstone mildly opposed " as inoppoftune,
aud the ionse rejected II by . vote of Lao to
~, Tho Mnstcflallsta. except Mt Chamberlain aud
hr Charles Dixie. who abaiained voting with the
Tories against tho resolution, The minority Was
une xpeotedly large when one considers that the
Government elected 10 make Itself the champion
of the Lords, nor are Mr., Labouehero aud Sir Will
fred Lawson men the country would be likely TO
select as leaders.
