A full biographical sketch of the marquis
Q! 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
er. He owes this kind Of regard to his l,av-
ing done little or nothing in opposition to
help or hinder his chance. For u long time
he has cffaced himself. Was chief secretary
ior Ireland, which experience preceded tlnt
in his last Office, where he very thoroughly
mismanaged the Tr,nsvaal and prep,,red
Tor the mother country and the Cape Col
ony the mess from which they have only
just escaped.
Lord Randolph Churchill is the second son
OF the duke OF Marlborough. He was born
in 1s49. A slight, active man, his upper
lip covered with IL long mustache he has a
habit OF twisting thoughtfully, he might be
mistaken in the street for one of the usual
fashionable idlcrs among the club men OF
the day, but for an air Of preoccupation
and thoughtfulness which tells one that he
has q more serious pursuit in life. He
founded the Fourth party" as an annex
to 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
viceroyalty Of his father, and in his capac-
ity as one OF the most active members Of
the duchess Of Marlboroughs committee,
he has acquired an accurate knowledge ofa
number OF facts which he has an unpleasant
knack ofproducing at the emostinconvenien
moment for his opponents, and with an air
OF ingenious candor. This is one secret Of
his success in the house.
Sir Richard Assheton Cross represents
Southwest Lancashire and was Lord Bea.
cOnsfield' q home secretary. At the time of
his elevation to office it was said that the
appointment was one OF Lord Beaconslield's
jokes. A banker and barrister as well as
chairman OF quarter sessions, rubicund Sir
Richard did not make bad secretary, il
his speeches on every conceivable subject
were rather trying. Hewears spectacles and
is forever at quarter sessions, either de.
molishing antagonists, dcmonishing delin.
quents or sentencing offenders to condign
punishment.
Edward Gibson is the Conservative rep.
resentativc OF Dublin university. His abil-
tiles ars more snowy than solid, and there
are better men in the Troy crowd. Has q
handsome young face, and is prematurely
gray. RicR. Not only active and pusllins
but a slasling debator, and a ready hand
at telling partisan attack. In the gener-
al poverty Of talents he is bound to score
heavily. He has distanced Plunket-a
much ADLER man-in their common profcs-
sion by sheer diligence. A recent stamping
expedition across the border showed him in
q favorable light AZ a platform orator. His
skill in swaying iurics 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 Vest
minister, in succession to the late John
Stuart Mill; was Lord Beaconticld's first
lord OF the admiralty; has the monopoly OF
the railway book selling and news-vending
trades on the principal lines in Great Britain.
A commonplace man OF kindly nature and
business habits, who did not make a failure
at the admiralty because business habits of
any description tell there. Is said to be an
accidental Conservative. Years ago he
sought election ut the reform club, and was
turned away. A subsequent applicationat
the Carlton met with success. His speeches
are scraps Of fireside conversation wherein
fies contradiction. that two and tw" pas naLo ,u
