It is not among people of "wealth and local influence," who I see are supposed to be the only available candidates for Parliament of a recognized party, that you will find the elements of revolution. We will grant that there are some few genuine Democrats there, and let them pass. IT IS NOT AMONG PEOPLE OF WEALTH AND LOCAL INFLUENCE WHO I SEE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY AVAILABLE CANDIDATE FOR PARLIAMENT OF A RECOGNIZED PARTY THAT YOU WILL FIND THE ELEMENTS OF REVOLUTION WE WILL GRANT THAT THERE ARE SOME FEW GENUINE DEMOCRATS THERE AND LET THEM PASS
s, Liberals, or even Radicals. Not one of them probably would go such a very short journey towards revolution as the abolition of the House of Lords. A one-chamber Parliament would seem to them an impious horror, and the abolition of the monarchy they would consider a serious inconvenience to the London tradesman. Now this is the real Parliamentary Party, at present divided into jarring sections under the influence of the survival of the party warfare of the last few generations, but which already shows signs of sinking its differences so as to offer a solid front of resistance to the growing instinct which on its side will before long result in a party claiming full economical as well as political freedom for the whole people. But is there nothing in Parliament, or seeking entrance to it, except this variously tinted Whiggery, this Harlequin of Reaction? Well, inside Parliament, setting aside the Irish party, which is, we may now well hope, merely temporarily there, there is not much.  AS TORIES WHIGS LIBERALS OR EVEN RADICALS NOT ONE OF THEM PROBABLY WOULD GO SUCH A VERY SHORT JOURNEY TOWARDS REVOLUTION AS THE ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS A ONE CHAMBER PARLIAMENT WOULD SEEM TO THEM AN IMPIOUS HORROR AND THE ABOLITION OF THE MONARCHY THEY WOULD CONSIDER A SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE TO THE LONDON TRADESMEN NOW THIS IS THE REAL PARLIAMENTARY PARTY AT PRESENT DIVIDED INTO JARRING SECTIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SURVIVAL OF THE PARTY WARFARE OF THE LAST FEW GENERATIONS BUT WHICH ALREADY SHOWS SIGNS OF SINKING ITS DIFFERENCES SO AS TO OFFER A SOLID FRONT OF RESISTANCE TO THE GROWING INSTINCT WHICH ON ITS SIDE WILL BEFORE LONG RESULT IN A PARTY CLAIMING FULLY ECONOMICAL AS WELL AS POLITICAL FREEDOM FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE BUT IS THERE NOTHING IN PARLIAMENT OR SEEKING ENTRANCE TO IT EXCEPT THIS VARIOUSLY TINTED WHIGGERY THIS HARLEQUIN OF REACTION WELL THE INSIDE PARLIAMENT SETTING ASIDE THE IRISH PARTY WHICH IS WE MAY NOW WELL HOPE MERELY TEMPORARILY THERE THERE IS NOT MUCH
