DISRAELI'S MAIDEN SPEECH.
He Expected to Conquer but Was
Promptly Hooted Down.
From Macmillian's Magazine.


One night early in 1888 Uhe year after
he had failed in his contest as a Radical
for the borough of High Wycombe)
Benjamin Dsraeli, sitting in the
Strangers Gallery of the House OF
Commons, listened to the debate on
the address in which Lord John Rus
sell Macauley, Stanley, Bulwer and
other leading members of the house
took part. Next day he wrote to his
sister: Was at the House of Commons
yesterday during the whole of the de-
bate-one of the finest we have had for
years. Macaulay was admirable, but
between ourselves, / could floor them
all This entire nous, | was never
more confident of anything than that
] could carry everything before me in
that House. The time will come"
The time did come four years later
when on Dec. :, 1897 Disraeli, having
been returned as TORY stood up in
the House of Commons TO make his
maiden speech. The story of that
historic fiasco has never been fully told.
What is generally known is that Dis
racli was interrupted by bursts of
ironical laughter almost from the be-
ginning of his speech, and that at
length, utterably unable, to catch the
ear OF the House, he concluded by
shouting at the utmost pitch of his
voice the famous phrase: Though l
sit down now the time will come when
you will hear me-" But the whole
episode, what led up to it and what
followed 1t, is most interesting.
The subject of the debate was a
motion by Smith O'Brien for a select
committee TO inquire into the alleged
practice of veXatious petitioning
| against Irish members elected in the
popular interest. Daniel O'Connell
supported the motion, and IL had been
| arranged that Sir Robert Peel should
| reply; but the strongly expressed wish
of Dstraell that the duty might be
given to him, backed as it was by
many members of his party, induced
the Tory leaders to give way to this
ardent young recruit.
There had been an ardent, though
very bitter quarrel between O"Connell
and Disraeli's sponsors when he car
ried the Radical flag on the hustings
at High Wycombe In 1882 Three years
later Disraeli, having turned Tory, at
tackled tho Melbourne administration
which was retained in power by the
Irish party, for having elapsed as he
put 1t, "the bloody hand of O'Connell.'
o'Connell retorted in a speech of saw
age vituperation in which he declared
that Distraeli's life was a ''living lie
and that he was descendant of the
impenitent thief on the Cross" Dis.
raeli challenged O'Connell, but the
irishman, after killing DEsterre ir
1915 had made vow against dueling
and always wore black kid glove or

his right hand asa token of his life
long repentance for having shed an
other mans blood. Then" wrote Dis
raeli, in a scathing letter to O'Connell.
I'VE shall meet at Philippi." Now the
two antagonists were face to face at
Philippi-in the House of Commons,
with, happily. the floor between.
Dlsracli's failure on this occasion was
not due to nervous timidity but to the
less amiable fault of ever-confident
fiuency to the young members irrita-
ting self-assurance of manner inspired,
obviously, by the conviction that he
was about to leap into parliamentary
fame at single bound. This, with his
fopish attire, his affected gestures. and
the knowledge of his rapid change of
political opinion, caused the British
Radicals and the Irish Repealers. both
led by the lusty lungs of O'Connell, to
indulge in roars of ironical laughter
and other disconcerting cries.
