| THREE GENERAL DIVISIONS
with respect to the preponderancy OF the two
parties In the state. The first extends from
| Walpole's time TO the accession of George Ill.
| This was the period Of the reign OF the great
| whig houses, when Jacobites were still extant
| and Pretenders were still to be feared. The
| tories during this time were not called To rule.
| But when the third George came to the throne
Qs60,) a new order of things began. That
monarch, freed from the fear OF the Stuarts,
| and imbued with many of the ideas about the
| kingly prerogative which had driven that un-
| happy family from the throne, resented the
control of the great wings Then began the final
| struggle between absolutism and constitutions
| alisIn. Before this had been brought out the
| French revolution, with its revolving excuses,
| had generated strong reactionary current In
| English thought. These two Influences kept
| England almost permanently tory for seventy
| years. But In 1880 that great liberal revolu-
ton had at last silently accomplished itself
| which had been set in motion by Fox and
| Burke during the preceding century. The great
reform bill became law, since when the wings
| or liberals, as they are latterly called, have
| Of the government. At present a curious COM

| supremacy. The two great parties appear 10 lie
| splitting asunder. The liberal tories under
| Churchill, seem inclined TO unite with the Par
nelltes heretofore acting with the wings OF lib
erals. The conservative tories are likely 20 drift
| toward Gladstone and the liberal wings while
the radicals under Chamberlain bid fair TO
