A full biographical sketch Of The marquis
OF Salisbury has been already given. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach WAS secretary OF state
Tor the colonial department, and sits for
East Gloucestershire. He has always been
looked upon as "A sort Of dark horse" by
the conservative partyas possible lead
er. lie owes this kind al regard to his hay
ing done little or nothing in opposition to
help or hinder his chance. For long time
he has effaced himself Was chief secretary
for Ireland, which experience preceded that
in his last office where he very thoroughly
mismanaged the Transvaal and prepared
for the mother country and the Cape Col
ony the mess from which they have only
just escaped.
Lord Randolph Churchillis the second son
Of the duke Of Marlborough lie was born
in 1919 4 slight, active man, his upper
lip covered with a long mustache he has a
habit OF twisting thoughtfully, he might be
mist AIKEN in the street for one of the usual
fashionable idlers among the club men OF
the day, but for an air of preoecupation
and thoughtfulness which tells one that he
has a more serious pursuit in life. He
founded the Fourth party, " as an annex
30 the Conservative party. With Irish
blood in his veins on the maternal side,
with an intimate acquaintance with recent
Irish troublas, gathered during the Irish
ticeroyalty OF his father, and in his capac-
ity ms one az the most active members oil
the duchess Of Marborough's committee,
he has acquired an accurate knowledge ola
humber OF facts which he has an unpleasant
knack ofproducing at the most inconvenient
moment for his opponents, and with an air
Of ingenious candor. This is one secret oil
his success in the house
Sir Richard Assheton Cross represents
Southwest Lancashire, and was Lord Bea
consticld's home secretary. At the time o.
his elevation to office it was said that the
appoint meut was one OF Lord Beaconsfcld' s
Jokes. A banker and barrister as well as
chairman OF quarter sessions, rubcund Sul
Richard did not make a bad secretary, j
his speeches on every conceivable subject
were rather trying. He wears spectacles and
is forever at quarter sessions, either de
molishing antagonists, demOnishing delin
quents or sentencing offenders to condigr
punishment.
Edward Gibson is the Conservative rep
resentative OF Dublin university. His abil
tiles airs more snowy than solid and there
are better men in the Troy crowd. Has a
handsome young face, and Is prematurely
gray Rich. Not only active and pushing
but slashing DICTATOR and u ready hand
at telling partisan attack. In the gener
al poverty OF talents he is bound to score
heavily. He has distanced Punket-a
much ADLER man-in their common PROBES
sion by sheer diligence. A recent stamping
expedition across the border showed him il
q favorable light as platform orator. His
skill in swaying iuries stood him in great
stead there. He is by no means the most
rancorous OF the opponents OF Irish home
rule
William Henry Smith represents West
minister, in succession to the late Johr
Stuart Mill; was Lord Beaconfield's first
lord OF the admiralty; has the monopoly 0
the railway book selling and news-vendin!
trades on the principallines in Great Britain
A commonplace man of kindly nature anC
business habits, who did not make failur,
at the admiralty because business habits 0
any description tell there. Is said to be al
accidental Conservative. Years ago h
sought election at the reform club, and wal
turned away. A subsequent application a
the Carlton met with success. His speeches
are scraps of tireside conversation, wherein
it is demonstrated, in manner that de
fies contradiction, that two and two max,
exactly four. Is a substantial pillar of tn,
established church, rules his wOrkpeOpl'
with paternal despotism, farms few hun
dred acres of Land, and keeps a yacht
Altogether a highly respectable person
Henry Howard MOlyneux Herbert, fourth
earl OF Carnarvon, was born in 1881. II,
never sat in the house OF commons. Lore
Derby took him in hand after hearing his
maiden speech in the upper house. Al
twent y-seven he was made under secretary
for the colonies. He seeded from the Dis
raeli cabinet in 1866, on the question OF th'
extension OF the suffrage. In 1878 he die
the same thing on the Eastern question
He is able, but impracticable Politics
apart, Lord Carnarvon is described as q
model English gentleman, taking interest il
prison discipline, gnostic heresies, and al
sorts of other respectable questions. He
is great, too, as a Freemason.
Claiborne Hardy, Niscount Cranbrook
was born in 1914. In 1856 he was elected
to parliament, and two years later he waf
made under secretary OF state for the home
department. He wrested from Mr.. Glad
stone the seat for the University OF Oxford
He became president of the poor law board
home secretary, and finally secretary o.
war under Disraeli. When Disraei was ele
waited to the peerage, he was very sore be
cause Sir Stafford Northcote was made
leader of the house of commons. To con
sole him he was given peerage and APP
pointed secretary of state for India. He is
a good speaker, rather hippant, and avery
handsome man.
Sir Stafford Northcote is member for
North Devon, which pleasant county he re-
sides in, and leaves with regret to perform
his parliamentary duties. He is the mild
est-mannered man that ever scuttled Radi-
cal ship or cut the throat OF Liberal minis
try. Was once secretary to Mr. Gladstone,
from whom he learned finance, and to
whom he still looks up with respect, to the
chagrin of the more turbulent OF the Glad
stone haters, who call Sir Stafford leader.
He several times played second fiddle to
Lord Randolph Churchill, led all the organ
lied attacks on Mr.. Bradlaugh, and rem
tlered some assistance to the government
in its conflict with Irish obstruction. Is re-
lied on budget nights to pick holes in the
proposals ofthe ministerial tinancier. Fair
commissioned rather heavily bearded and
benevolent looking. Recites genueel poems
at penny readings better than he speaks in
the house, but in spite OF his somewhat
harsh voice, has in manner and matter oc-
casionally risen above mediocrity as de-
batter.
Col Stanley was secretary for war in
Lord Beaconsfield's administration. He
was born in 1871, and joined the Grenadier
guards at seventeen, retiring In 1868. lie
has been a lord OF the admiralty, financial
secretary to the war office and secretary to
the treasury He married Lady Constance
Viliers daughter Of the earl OF Clarendon.
He is Lord Derby's brother.
