Lospos. March ia.-Lord Randolph
Churchill came 10 the front again today by
making . motion that Lord Rosebery had
sniringed upon the liberties and privileges
OF the house Of commons by concerning
himself with the election Of . member
OF the house OF commons through
his speech made At Edinburgh on
Saturday. This speech, according to
Lord Churchill. must have influence
upon the pending election at Lea;ny.
Continuing. Lord Randolph asserted that
Lord Rosebery had evaded the rule which
preciudes the premier from intervening in
the election of members Of the COM
mona Sir William Harcourt chancellor
Of the exchequsr and Liberal leader in the
house Of commons. said that as Lord Ran
doiph had not proposed that Lord Rose
berv should be called to the house he
could not understand what course Lord
Randolph wanted the house to take.
Thereupon Lord Randolph said that he
intended his motion ~ protest against
Lord Rosebery's action.
Sir William Harcourt remarked that
there were about 500 OPPOSITION peers who
were constantly interfering in elections.
He himself had no complaints to make
for speeches which had greatly influenced
elections. He referred undoubtedly to the
prelates who are members of the house of
lords. He then classed Lord Churchill's
motion a. being ''trumpery, petty and
contemplate" and contradiction Of his
own defense when accused of breach OF
privilege in 1857 for lending carriages to
be used at . certain election, . course
which was used at the same time and
place by Lord Salisbury.
