r CORRESPONDENCE. A. HASKINS,—Col. Clifford polled 2,338 vote? in 1868. Q A CARDIFF LADY ON LIBERALS AND TORIES. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAlLY NEWS. SIR -1 yesterday went to hear Mr Reed in the afternoon and evening at the Tabernacle, and al- though lama true Church woman, the shame that has been cast on the Tory lot here would make me blush to say I was a Tory. I am sure MrReed is the man for us. He is not, when he stands up to speak, obliged to be backed up by some of his friends, and then tell his audience, "Ah yes, that was what I was going to say." If Mr Guest can- not speak here, how will he be able to represent us in Parliament ? Well may Mr Reed say that men carved out of wood would do best for the Tory Government now; then Lord Beaconsfield could be the master and have his own way. Some of the people in Cardiff think so too, or they would not try- to return such a man as Guest. Let him go back to Poole. Oh, no, they turned him out there. Though all his dear friends could claim Poole, yet Poole was not to be tooled by him. If the Marquis of Bute wuld BP&re his cattle, it would be well tfe buried all the shameful Tory lot there, and not let them be at large to molest peaceful people. Then it will save the poor Tories spending their money on nnes to save some of their "nobility" from going to gaol. And as to the Western Mail, shame on their lieal They dare not speak the truth or they would shame their paper, which I would scorn to read. l ell the Tories to keep their money and not spend it on publishing pamphlets. They may yet want it to take their man out of town. The Liberals, as just melo,aild for the sake of his family, will, I know, give him their help to get back-say to Poole. But it was a pity he did not get back there on Wednesday, then he would have been the right man in the right place. Some of the Tones say it was a man that wrote the letter in Wednesday's paper, sign- ing herself A Lady Fnend of the Liberals." I beg to say it was no maD, but a true Lady Liberal, not ashamed nor afraid to show her colours.—I am, &6.. A LADY LISER4L AN& NQ KA AT. 4 V i v iII- -t,

HOW TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. ( DIRECTIONS TO VOTERS. The Tories having in the elections of 1874 shown exceeding fertility of invention in frus- trating the objects of the Ballot Act, by a resort to all kinds of expedients having more or less affinity to the celebrated Tory Card Trick, it becomes necessary that we should give plaiii di- rections to Liberal voters. We eamestlv exhoit them to bear in mind that— You cannot give two votes to one candidate. If there are two Liberal caudidates for two seats, vote for both Liberals, If there is oniy one Liberal candidate and two seats, vote for the Liberal only. Don't divide your votes between a Liberal and a To-y, beco/une you might as well stay away from the poll altogether. From the letters we have received, it is appa- rent that there are many electors in South Wales who are under the impression that with regard to "Plumper" votes, a Parliamentary election is the same as a School Board election. We deem it necessary to say that at Parliamentary elections, an elector can only give GEE vote to a candidate, whether ho plump" or "plit." Wherever two Liberal candidates are rulining for two seats, with Conservative opponents, Liberal elec- tors should split their votes by giving one to each Liberal. But iu order to m;lke it plain to Liberal voters in every constituency in this dis- trict in which a contest is yet to take place, we append a form of the Ballot papers for ech county and borough.

LII))EPKAL li,A,IEETIN.G AT HAYER- FOKDTOT. A CLEP.GYiIIAN" TRIBUTE TO A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT. T LORD KENSINGTON ON HIGHER EDUCATION IN WALES. Lord Kensington addressed a large and enthusi- astic meeting in the Market-hall, Haverfordwest, on Thursday mght/when the Rev. James Owen, of Withybush, presided. The area of the platform was extended for the occasion, and a large number of ladies occupied seats upon it. The walis of the room were placarded with posters describing the many excesses of 'lory legislation, while other bills contained a statement of the Liberal gains up to the present stage of the election. Lord Kensing- ton, who led Miss Owen (the chairman's sister) into the room, was loudly cheered as usual, upon making his appearance. The CHAIRMAN, whoss rising was the signal for loud applause, said that this was the first time in l is life that hp-had taken part in a public meet- ing by presiding, and no doubt many thought that he ought in a few remarks to explain the reason of his presence. (Hear, hear.) For one thing he believed it was understood that his brother George would have taken the chair on that occasion, but he was engaged in equaliy good work elsewhere— (loud applause)—in company with Mr William Davies-(cheers)-who, they hoped, would that day v. eek be an M.P.,as well as Lord Kensington. (Applause. )5He dared say that some might consider it very strange foraclergymao orminister ofjreligion to take part in a political meeting. It might be strange, it was he thought unusual, but lie ventured to say that it was quite right. (Applause.) He did not hesitate to say that 1e considered the act which most of them would have to perform on Tuesday or on Saturday, or both days. was as solemn and religious an act as going to church or going to chnpei. For let them remember what it "a" that they v. ere going to ';0. Remember that we are, orthatwe were before the Eeaconsfield Ministry, a self-governing community, and that we were not only entrusted with the duty and charge of governing ourselves, but actually with the government of one-third of the human race- ro-a t ing like .900 millions of people. We could hardy conceive what that meant, but the fate of something like that large num- ber depended upon the use that he and they, as well as every citizen of the country, mrde of their votes during these few days. And did thev mean to tell him that that was an act to be lightly done, or to be anything but thoroughly an I solemnly considered. He feared that there were electors who would give their votes for something even so small as a glass of beer. and he said to those who might poll in that wicked fashion, let them rather stop away, even though their votes were to be given on his own side, for he cr;red infinitely more for the principles of i is then he did for the return of any particular candidate at Haverfordwest. [(Applause.) He was perfectly suie that if all people who professed Liberal principles were true to them, Lord Ken- sington would be returned next week. (Applause.) W ether they did or not he was perfectly cer- ta; as sure ns he was of his own existence— that their principle", which were tie principles of progress, enlightenment,, liberty, truth and justice, must in the end prevail as they had for the last century prevailed, in spite of the determined opposition which the Liberals still had to contend against. (Applause.) And when party spirit was apt to run high, was it not their duty (the clergy's duty) to come forward and press upon their own partisans—and, if they would listen to it, also upon their opponents—that such fi z' ts as th's should be conducted in an honour- able fashion, with mutual respect, ea^'h avoiding misrepresentation, personality, and scurrility. He appeared upon the platform not only as "a minister, but as a clergyman of the Established Church, because he believed that the clergy, above all people, were indebted to the Liberal party. (Loud applause.) He maintained that the Church of England never vvns stronger than at the present day, and lie said that the fict was due to the Liberal party, \v: o had removed those grievances and sc .ndals, of which many persons formerly had just grounds to complain. Whxt did they think would be the chance of the Established Church in the present day if the Test and Corporation Act, for instance, had neve" bpen repealed—(applause)—if we still had to witness or hear of such a scandalous pro- ceeding as members of a corporRtion" boozing in a nublic-house until the conclusion of a sermon, and then going into church, and profaning a most solemn right of our religion by qualifying for municipal office. (Hear, hear.) Or sup- pose we still had those old church- rate cilucnit;ies wmcn most; or tnem could still remember. Supposing there still existed thst grievance of the exclusion of the Dissenters from the universities—(applause) supposing it were still the case that no Jew could take his seat in the House He wished that no converted Jew could take his seat in the House (Laughter, applause, and cries of "Beaconsfield.") Supposing the Roman Catholics had never been given their votos, he really believed that the Church of Eng- landnowever strong she might be in the support of political parties—would hardly be worth a five- vear's purchase. (Applause.) As long as the clergv did their duty he believed that the Church would not be disestablished, and he considered that the only real danger to the Church was from within —from amongst the clergy themselves.(Hear,hear.) All he could say was, that let the clergy be ten thousand times as useful as they were, let the Church be ten thousand times as sincere in the maintenance of Christian worship as it was repre- sented to be if its authority, and if the establish- ment were to be upheld by our supporting such national crime, as the Afghan and Zulu wars- (r.pl,laiise)-be, for one, would never lift a finger to prevent the disestablishment of the Church. (Cheers.) He was pleased to say that many of his own profession held the same view, and he had been told to-day by Mr William Davies, that he had been promised the support of a good many of the clergy of the county. (Cheers.) But, he added, there were other issues at stake, and he was not only Liberal on Church grounds or on ecclesiastical grounds, but more, much more, on political and on moral grounds-(applause)-and he then went on to review the policy of the Tory Government, with which he compared the legis- lative incidents of their predecessors' term of office, and amoagst them the Education Act in particular. The reverend gentleman resumed his seat amid loud applause. In the course of the CHAIRMAN'S speech Lord Kensington received a number of telegrams an- nouncing Liberal victories all over the country, and these messages, upon being read aloud, excited much enthusiasm amongst the audience. Lord KENSINGTON, who received an ovation upon rising, remarked that since he last addressed the constituency the political battle had begun in earnest. The result of the polling of the previous day was a net gain of 15 seats, with an acquisition of 30 votes on division, and to this number must be added another seat won at Norwich, the writ of which town had been sus- pended during the late Parliament—(applause)— consequently the gain to the Liberal party from Monday's elections in various parts of the country amounted to 31 votes on a division. (Loud cheers.) From the telegrams which they had heard, and astbe result of others which he had re- ceived in the early part of the day, it appeared that the polling was making very satisfactory pro- gress indeed in favour of the Liberal party. The chairman had alluded to the Times, and with their permission he would read two or three sen- tences from a leading article in that paper, because, as all knew, the Times occasionally had a tendency to trim its sails according to the way in which the wind blew. (Laughter.) After allud- ing to the net gain of 31 on a division, the writer says, To day the same number of constituencies, most of them English boroughs, wiil be polled, and it is obvious that if the tide of success flows as strongly as it did yesterday in favour of the Opposition, the whole of the ministerial majority of 1874 will have melted away." (Cheers.) And the article was concluded with the words, "This is more ominous for the Ministry, because it is calculated that the loss of several ggats in Scotland and Ireland cer- tainly not less than a dozen in all and perhaps as many as a score-is inevitable. (Applause.) He did not believe that statement to be at all an exaggerated one. Those who, like himself, had once served in the army, knew that upon an onslaughf being made on a stronghold, th« dividfld inio thr«a b<xuea— T attacking pnrtv, the support., and the reserves, ¡ Tt:e poetical attacking party were engaged to-day, to-murrow, and the next day, and the lIupporte- of whom thev would form a section—(applause)—• would be called in next week, while the reserves would coine in at the end, and if the attacking party only carried on their work for tlw next two days as they had begun, being backed up by the supports in the same bold way as hitherto, and if the reserves mustered as he expected, to sweep the enemy off I the field, there need be no doubt as to the result of the whole of tne elections. (Applause.) He did not wish to be considered a prophet, or to be f thought too sanguine, but he thought the informa. tion received up to the present time gave good ground for the hope and expectation that the day. of the Tory Government were numbered, (Applause.) He believed that the people of Eng. land had had enough of the present administra- tion. There as one subject, his lordship went on to say, which he had touched upon in other por- tions of the borough, but which he had not alluded to] here, and it was a matter of the utmost importance to Welshmen—he alluded to that which several members of Parlia- ment and those who assisted them, attempted to get^froin tLe Conservative Government for the assistance of higher education in Wales. (Ap- plause.)^ Some two years or three years ago, a deputation on the subject was formed to wait upon the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Lord President of the Council, and he (Lord Ken. sington) had Stne honour of serving upon th' t deputation, which was a thoroughly representative oue> It numbered members of Parliament on both sides of the House, amongst them being his noble friend and leader, Lord Hartington— (applause)—Sir Watkin Wvnn-essentially a re- presentative of Welsh Conôervatism-as w ell as other Welsh Liberal and Conservative members, there being hardly one Welsh member on either side absent. He should have said that Lord Aberdara wa3 also present, w hile there were clergymen of the Church of England, ministers of all denomin- ations:, and lawyers and laymen. Lord Aberdaro introduced the deputation to the Lord President of the Council, and in a very forcible speech announced the request which the deputation had to make to the Government. Lord Aberdare W" followed by Lord Hartington, Sir Watkin Wynn. Mr Henry Richard—(applause)—and myself, all of them strongiy advocating v. hat they considered a fair and just claim. They urged that Wales was the only portion of Her Majesty's dominions without the advantage of a grant from the country for the higher education of the people. If he thought that a Welsh university would stand in the way of any young man g^ing to Oxford or Cambridge, lie should consider the matter very seriously, and he very much doubted whether he could entertain the wisdom of estab- lishing a Welsh college on the b:<sis proposed, but it must be borne iu mind—and this was very strongly—that the Welsh University was intended for those i;naolc to Dear the exoe.se of a college career at either of the two great seat's of learning in England, while it was considered at the same time that a collego at Aberyhith would be a very useful stepping-stone to Oxford or Cambridge. (Applause.) Of course, the deputation never expected any answer (\1: the soot. Time was taken for consideration, but he regretted to say that the answer, when read, was not favourable. ( fchame.") Another meeting of Welsii members was held, Ahich resulted in a determination that the question should be broutrht before: the House of Commons. The matter was entrusted to the cnarge of his friend, Mr Huscev Vivian, who argued the question in a most able and forcible manner, being supported by Welsh 1nieiiibcr3 on both sides of the House. A repre- sentative of the Government — Lord George Hamilton—then replied and he (Lord Kensin"- ton), regretted to say that he could find no words, excepting those of censure, with which to describe the tone and manner of this oficial answer. ("Shame.") He regretted it extremely, because, in the first place, Lord George Hamilton was a personal friend, and an old brother officer, but be regretted it still more, because the reply w-a given with a sneer at the idea of the Welsh people making sucli an application. Lord George said that the Welsh were a people who talked a lan- guage which nobody could possibly understand— (laughter)—and he tried to turn the whole thing off in that msnner. It had been decided t'at if the Government gave a conciliatory aiiswer-smy. ing that they were then unable to entertain the question, but would seriously consider it subse- quently—a division should not be taken on the subject; but after the reply given by Lord George Hamilton, it was determined to divide if there were only three men in the lobby I keiv, to be on their side. (Cheers.) The result, of course, was well known to all of them. He knew it would be wrong for him to say that the Liberal Government would do what the Conservative Government refused to (io; but they should nevertheless remember that Mr Gladstone—(cheers)—lived on the borders of Wales, and that he took a great interest in the Principality. Mr Gladstone was deeply interested in the higher education movement at the time of its introduction, and if a Liberal Government; were returned to power, the cause would hav a powerful advocate in Mr Gladstone, no matter who might be at the bead of affairs. (Applause.) rI hough he did not for one moment say that it would be in toe power of the Liberal Government to take this matter up, and grant the application off-lwnd, he thought they might confiden ly regard the higher education question as one of the subjects which a Liberal Government would be most willing to entertain upon the first opportunity. (Applause.) He was glad to hear the remarks of the chairman upon legislative questions but be was sorry to say that only yesterday he read a speech by one member of his (the chairman's) family, containing words of very different import. (Laughter.) In the course of his remarks at a meeting in support of Mr Phillips, at Iùtle. Haven, the chairman's brother said, "Toe Liberals passed the Education Act. What has that done ? There is quite enough of education for everybody who wants it." (Laughter.) He (his lordship) was afraid that the chairman's worthy brother was one of those who knowing knowledge to be power, entertained a fear of the people of the country acquiring that power which knowledge]would give them. (Cheers.) He, on the other hand, was desirous of seeing tha people possessed of far superior educational faciii. ties to those which their forefathers had, and he felt confident that the same feeling was enter- tained by the chairman. (Applause.) He was sorry to say that there were many working ruen in this country unable to read or write but he hoped that before the lapse of many years there would not be a single male'or female, belonging to the rising generation, who had not had the advan- tage of an education in the schools. (Applause.) Mr Stephenson Uwen, his lordship went on to Bay, alluded in his speech to the acts of [the Conservative Government, and asked a question which was a very pertineDt one, and one which he did not mind adopting for his own use. Mr Stevenson Owen said :— Look- ing at what the Government had done in the past, he would ask them what they would do in the future." (Laughter.) He (Lord Kensington) would ask everyone to put that question to him- self. Let them look well at what the Goverment had done, and ask what they were likely to do with another lease of power. (" We won't trust them.") Let it be remembered in considering thia matter that the Government had already spent our money that they had got us into debt that they had aggravated depression and that* lastly, they had entangled us in unnecessary wars. In conclusion, his Lordship alluded several of the elections of the dav, and spoke of the highly Liberal character of the constitue- cv ot Haverlordwest. He was loudly applaude-i upon resuming his seat. I Mr ORMOND next addressed the meeting, and advocated the right of the Welsh people to such educational advantages, as were enjoyed ia Etio,. land, Scotland, and Ireland. The educational fa- cilities, he added, which has been given by a Libe- ral Government, would be the means of sweeping away I more pauperism than could b", removed by all other powers combined. (Applause.) Dr. DAVIES told all Nonconformists that they had nothing whatever to expect from a Conserva- tive Government, and after remarking that tha Public Worship Act had been the means of weakening the Church, he went on to speak in favour of the Burials Bill. Mr GEOKQB PHILLIPS followed, and remarked that the Tories already showed that they expected to be defeated. < r -< A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting, and Lord Kensington was then escorted to his lodgings amid much enthusiasm.
