THE FRANCHISE BILL.

BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 5.-ln connection with the
great reform demonstration here yesterday an
meeting was held in the evening at
Bingley hall at which 10000 people were present.
Speeches were made by John Bright and Joseph
president of the board of trades.
Mr. Bright said the torie majority in the house Of
ords was actuated by the same bitter hatred of
liberals as in 1882. '.Who were the
Deers?" he askad. They were the spawn
II the blunders, the wars and corruption of dark
ages OF our history they had entered the temple
of honor not through the temple of merit, but
through the sepulchres of their ancestors. They
were no better than their fathers. Some of them
were worse, for their privileges had produced
ignorance and arrogance. The reform of the
house of lords, Bright declared, was urgent and
inevitable. The creation of new peers to pass
the franchise bill would only get rid of the pres
ent difficulty. What was wanted was limitation
of the veto power of the lords Should the peo-
pie submit, or should they curb the mobiles as
their fathers had curbed the kings of England.
Mr.. Bright then explained the manner in
which he would like to see the power of the
lords restricted. He would allow the peers to
retain their present powers during the first ses-
sion and that bill should be presented to them,
but he would absolutely preclude them from We
toing the franchise bill or any bill second time
Many persons, no doubt, would think him too
lenient to the peers, but he preferred the rene
dies which, while effectual, would cause the
least disturbance to the existing Institutions
Chamberlain read long and powerful attack
upon the peers. 1.-The divine right of kings
he said, had been acknowledged to be danger
GUS. The divine right of peers was a ridiculous
fgment If the lords remained obsti-
nate in opposition to the popular will, the

end. He looked forward with eager hope to the
result Of this agitation. England the chosen
home Of self governed people, never will be sub
SERVANT to the insolent pretensions Of heredi-
tary class The sentiments of the speakers were
received with enthusiastic applause. A resolu-
tiOn was adopted denouncing the action of the
lords in rejectiag the reform of franchise.
