Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1885-11-27

At the elections now proceeding in
England 100000 persons are admitted TO
vote who were never allowed to exercise
that privilege before. When the colored
people in this country were admitted to
the franchise they gave their votes 70 the
party that had conferred the franchise
upon them. In England it appears that
exactly opposite has been the case, for the
opponents of the party 10 whom their en-
reimbursement is due have received a mg-
Jority up TO this time of the votes of the
people. There are three parties in Eng
land, beside the Pernell party in Ireland.
The party now in power, and which. it
appears, is sustained by the result Of
the elections, is the Tory party, the party
OF the arisiocrats and their adherents and
supporters. The Wig party, moder-
ate liberals, come next. They agree
with the Tories in supporting aristocratic
privilege ard the union of church and
state, but they favor a reform Of abuses
n a moderate progressive policy. /, wss

form OF the English Parliament, after a
struggle which brought the country near
TO a revolution, owing to. the determined
and desperate effort made by the Tories

Radicals, the party that originally brought
forward the proposition to extend the
suffrage and to allow voting to be by bal

ing these measures as means to accomplish
practical purposes, this party favors the
the correction OF political, corporate and
other abuses; the separation Of
the church from the state; a re-
form or abolition of the House
of Lords, substituting Tor it an elective
assembly change in the land laws which
shall allow OF the sale and transfer of lands
on the same principles as exist with re-
spect to other property, and the abolition
OF entail and the system of pr~imogeniture.
Many OF them favor still more radical
changes, such as the abolition OF titles, the
substitution of a republic for a monarchy.

party; it has supported principles while

the slow progress made by the Wings,
and have in a namber of instances put up
