A full biographical sketch OF the marquis
OF Salisbury has been already given. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach was secretary Of state
lor the colonial department, and sits for
East Worcestershire. He has always been
looked upon as a sort Of clark horse by
the conservative party-as a possible lead
er. He owes this kind OF regard to his hav-
ing done little or nothing in opposition to
help or hinder his chance. For long time
he has efiaced himself. Was chief secretary
for Ireland, which experience preceded that
in his last Office where he very thoroughly
for the mother country and the Cape Col
ony the mess from which they have only
just escaped.
Lord Randolph Churchill the second son
OF the duke OF Marlborough. He was born
in 1S49. A slight, active man, his upper
lip covered with a long mustache he has a
habit Of twisting thoughtfully, he might be
mistaken in the street for one Of the usual
fashionable idlers among the club men OF
the day, but for an air OF preoccupation
and thoughtfulness which tells one that he
has more serious pursuit in life. He
founded the fourth party" as an annex
to the Conservative party. With Iirsh
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 his capac-
ity as one OF the most active members of
the duchess OF Marlborough's committee,
he has acquired an accurate knowledge ola
number OF facts which he has an unpleasant
knack ofproducing at the mostinconvenient
moment for his opponents, and with an air
ofingenuous candor. This is one secret OF
his success in the house.

Southwest Lancashire and was Lord Bea-
consfeld's home secretary. At the time of
his elevation to office it was said that the
appointment was one OF Lord Beaconsfield's
Jokes. A banker and barrister aswell as
chairman OF quarter sessions, rubicund Sir
Richard did not make bad secretary, if
his speeches on every conceivable subject
were rather trying. Hewears spectacles and

molishing antagonists, demonishing delin-
quents or sentencing offenders to condign
punishment.
Edward Gibson is the Conservative rep-
resentative OF Dublin university. His abil-
tiles ars more showy 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 debator, and a ready hand
at a telling partisan attack. In the gener-
al poverty OF talents he is bound to score
heavily. He has distanced Plunket-a

sion by sheer diligence. A recent stamping
expedition across the border showed him in
favorable light as platform orator. His
stead there. lie 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 John
Stuart Mill; was Lord Beaconfield's first
lord of.the admiralty; has the MONOPOLY of
the railway book selling and news-vending
trades on the principal linesin Great Britain.
A commonplace man OF kindly nature and
business habits, who did not make afailure
at the admiralty because business habits of
any description tell there. Is said to be an
accidental Conservative. Years ago he
sought election at the reform club, and was
turned away. A subsequent application at
the Carlton met with success. His speeches
are scraps OF fireside conversation, wherein
it is demonstrated, in a manner that de-
ties contradiction, that two and two make
exactly four Is a substantial pillar OF the
established church, rules his workpeople
with paternal despotism, farms a few hun
dred acres OF land, and keeps yacht.
Altogether a highly respectable person.
uehry HOWard MOlyneuX Herbert, fourth
earl OF Carnarvon, was born in 1881. He
never sat in the house OF commons. Lord
Derby took him in hand after hearing his
maiden speech in the upper house. At
twenty-seven he was made under secretary
Tor the colonies. He seeded from the Dis
raeli cabinet in 1866, on the question OF the
extension OF the suffrage. In 1878 he did
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 in
prison discipline, gnostic heresies, and all
sorts OF other respectable questions. He
is great, too, as a Freemason.
Claiborne Hardy, Viscount Cranbrook,
was born in 1914. In 1856 he was elected
to parliament, and two years later he was
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 OF
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 ap-
pointed secretary OF state for India. He is
a good speaker, rather fippant, and very
handsome man.
