I Cardiff Representation. THE HUNT FOR A RADICAL CANDIDATE. Another Report of the Executive Meeting and What Leading Liberals Think. Once more has the foolishness Mid absurdity of excluding the press from important iiicct- iiigs at which public matt ers are discussed, on either SKIC of politics, been demonstrated in connection with the Cardiff Liberal Executive rreeting on Monday night. The "Western Mail," as our readers, of course, expected, gave a fairly full and accurate report of the pro- ceedings at this secret meeting, while our Radical contemporary, stepping down from the prcud pedestal from which, while its repre- sentatives had free entry of all the Liberal meetings in connection with the Cardiff Par- liamentary vacancy, preached its lofty mtxrali- ties, and insisted that th.) so-called private meetings should be regarded as its own ex- chiSive preserve, by dint of worrying a few "impressionable or squeezeable individuals," ana of drawing upon its own imaginings, managed to eke out half a column, in which slipshod statements and girdings at our dread- ful lack of journalistic morality struggle for th" pre-eminence. All this is very amusing, and not less so because it gives a new reading to a very old proverb. "When the devil was sick," &c., nay now be rendered :— "When the devil was well (i.e., admitted to the Kadioal meeting), The devil a saint would bo; When the devil was sick (i.e., exoluded) The devil a saint waa he." In the face of this appalling case of back- sliding, coupled with what must now be apparent to the most obtuse Radical intellect, namely, the uttjr futility of the attempt to keep out the "Western Mail," is it not time that the Liberal party of Cardiff should seriously consider the necessity of opening their meetings to the press of both sides without let or hm- drar.ce? We gather from what took place at the commencement and at the close of Monday night's meeting, that the Liberal Thousand are to be asked at their meeting to open their doors to the press. Let us hope that they will be wise enough to vote in the affirmative, and ii there should be any still obtuse ones re- maining, perhaps the account we give beiow of Monday's meeting, which fills up some of the interstices left by the late hour and hurried manner in which our report in yesterday's "Western Mail" had to be got out, will develop their receptivity — ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE EXECU- TIVE MEETING!. The Cardiff Liberal Executive meeting on Monday evening was almost equally divided on the question of recommending Sir Edward Reed to the Thousand. Even sworn friends of Sir Edward admit that a third of the meeting was against them. The selection committee, who were seated together like the deacons in the "set fawr" of a chapel, were dead against this proposal, with the excep- tion of "Cochfarf," who has come round lately to the side of Sir Edward. Mr. Bird, in a few brief words, delivered in the dole- ful tone of failure, stated that the selection committee had been unable to carry out the work entrusted to it, and that the only thing they could do was to recommend the names of Mr. John Cory and Mr. E. R. Moxey. Mr. Bird further explained that he was strongly in favour of a local candidate, and he indicated that this was also the view of the selection committee, though it is under- stood that some months ago he declared that no local man could carry the seat, and until a few days ago Dr. Edwards, another mem- ber of the selection committee. was of a like opinion. Mr. Louis Samuel led off the attack on behalf of Sir Edward, and using as an argument the failure of the selection commit- tee, after several weeks' hard work, to secure a suitable candidate, asked the meeting whether it would not after all be best to ask Sir Edward Reed to stand again. Councillor Morgan Morgan supported, and called atten- tion to the fact that every gentleman with whom the selection committee had been in communication had refused to stand. With regard even to the two gentlemen whom the 't committee had named—Messrs. J. Cory and E- R. Maxey-their president had been obliged to confess that they also had written declining nomination. About this stage of the meeting Mr. Powditc-h proposed that Sir Edward Reed be asked to stand, and then proceeded to twit the president and the selee- tion committee with not having done their duty in carrying out the definite instructions given them. This was followed by a demand tor art explanation, and Mr. Powditch, stand- ing to his guns, referred to the famous excur- sion to London to see Sir Edward and induce him to withdraw his resignation, and declared that tiie deputation went in an unofficial capacity, self-elected, and without the consent or knowledge of the Thousand. Mr. F. L. Short asked whether Sir Edward Reed's resignation was not made in definite terms, and was assured that such was the case, such assurance being backed up with extracts from the mutilated letter. A nice passage of arms was provoked by a certain rev. gentleman, bearing a highly popular surname, who called attention to the fact thai certain "junior" Liberals had presumed to arrange a public meeting for next Saturday night to force the pace in connection with the invitation to Sir Edward, Such action on the part of young men, this rev. gentleman intimated, was highly unbecoming, and certainly should not have been taken without first consulting the president of the senior association. This brought up two of the "young men" alluded to. namely, Councillors Morgan Morgan and Tom Andrews, who in vigorous language re- sented the remarks of the rev. gentleman, and hinted that anything he might say could not influence them. They had made up their minds, they declared, and should certainly hold the meeting next Saturday night, unless some satisfactory arrangements were made at that executive. The Rev. W. Spurgeon here intervened to deprecate the idea of going cap in hand to Sir Edward Reed in the face of his definite and conclusive letter. The freedom of the city. too, said the rev. gentleman, who seems to believe in the reality and stability of the "honourable under- standing," was about to be presented to Sir Edward in consequence of 'tus retirement, and under these circumstances he, Mr. Spurgeon, could not vote for the resolution. Mr. Jehn Gardner advised the executive to be cautious and pause before deciding to approach Sir Edward and Mr. Short. Mr. W. Jenkins (chair- man of the Cat hays Ward Liberal Association), Mr. Enoch (a member of the Cardiff Board of Guardians), and Mr. Mildon spoke in the. same strain. At a later stage in the proceedings Mr. Lewis Williams proceeded to ventilate his views, but he did not get very far, or become very clever, before he stumbled over the phrase, "We have arrived at a crises when we are really afraid to speak." Once more the juniors, led by Councillor T. Andrews, with the hot-headednos of youth, impetuously de- clared that they "were not afraid to speak, at any rate." "Softly," cooed the senior, sooth- ingly, "we are treading on delicate ground. Soma of us seem afraid to speak." Councillor F. J. Beavan thought that Mr. Lewis Williams should more fully explain himself, and this, the little man, realising ette awkwardness of the position, reltiai-kied he was about to do by ¡ finishing the remark which had been interrupted. What he meant to say was that they were "afraid to speak for fear of being misunder- stood or misrepresented." Into the little scene which followed, the president, who all along had been bobbing up and down in his I chair, trying to keep everyone straight, pro- jected himself with the remark, Well. I am positively afraid to speak, too." Principal Edwards put his oar in with a speech indicating a desire to know how the oat was going to jump, and Councillor F. J. Beavan, Mr. Tom Tavlor, and Alderman David Jones fol- lowed. Mr. F. J. Beavan supportfd Sir Edward; Mr. Taylnr defended the action of the selection committee, who had been rather roughly handled by previous speakers, and concluded with the old challenge, If you think you can do better come and try," while Alder- man Jones, in a sensible and tem- perate speech, produced the impression that he did not favour the idea of Sir Edward being again approached. At the same time Alderman Jones advocated unity and unani- nltv in action, and much caution in attitude w;th regarcT to Sir Edward. Mr. Bird, re- plying to a remark by Councillor Morgan that their president had not had justice doue him in connection with his efforts for securing a candidate, found occasion to again remark that he had "no ambition to serve," backing this with an emphatic declaration that under no circumstances would he consent to represent Cardiff in Parliament, There were several Irishmen at the meeting, and their sentiments were voiced by Mr. Tom Callaghan, who de- clared that the first and foremost plank in the programme of whoever was selected must be Irish Home Rule. This roused a protest that Sir Edward had always voted straight on that question, a position which Mr. Callaghan con- ceded, adding that what Sir Edward had done before he could do again. One or two amusing scenes occurred towards the clone of the pro- ceedings. One member of the executive, "a Daniel come to judgment," rose, and, reminding the meeting that they had been talking for three hours, declared, "now it is time for mo to have a word, and I tell you that unless you do as I tell you, the seat is lost. I meet scores I of the electors every day, and can influence hundreds"—"Who is he?" passed from lip to lip of the astonished listeners—"and you must do what I tell you," but he forgot to add what that was, leaving his audience in painful sus- pense, while another, ornamented with gold- rimmed spectacles, got up and. leaning forward like a man about to have a good time in a pulpit, commenced. "Mr. President and Gentle- men.—I have been trying for two hours to speak, and now I would emphasise"—but what he would emphasise was never explained, for with startling unanimity the wearied and worried Parliament-makers declared "Let's go home," and forthwith left, exhorting each other, with, uplifted hand and tragic voice, "in the face of the sun, and in the eye of the (gajs) built." to be faithful and not reveal any of the secrets of that meeting to the wicked "Wes- tern Mail" men. The issue of the meeting, as already stated, was that, on the advice of the president, Who strenuously endeavoured to avoid an open rupture, it was asrreed that Sir Edward Reed's name should be placed before the Thousand, and that it should have prece- dence of tiiei names of Mr. J Cory and Mr. Moxey. The general feeling among prominent Radicals in Cardiff on Tuesday was that Mr. Cory and Mr. Moxey will at once decline to allow their names to go before the Thousand as alternative candidates. Mr. Cory has already positively refused to become a candidate on any condi- tions, and the president of the Thousand holds a letter from Air. Cory to that effect. Air. Moxey has also, again and again, for various reasons, declined to become a candidate. There are many Radicals who believe that Sir Edward Reed will also adhere to his resigna- tion, though he may be flattered with fresh evidence of the confidence of a considerable section of the Liberal Thousand. It appears to 10 be pretty certain, however, that the Thousand will be far from unanimous on the proposal to ask Sir Edward Reed to stand. Many of The old hands who were formerly his staunchest supporters are now stoutly opposed to his candidature, alleging that if he were selected after all that has taken place it would humi- liate the whole party to invite Sir Edward Reed to champion the Radical cause. MR. HEPWORTH APPROACHED. A statement was current on Tuesday that several members of the Liberal executive jour- neyed to Swansea on Monday and waited upon Mr. J. Hepworth, head of the well-known firm of clothiers, at the Langla.nds Bay Hotel, only to receive from that gentleman a renewal of his refusal to allow his name to be nominated for the Liberal candidature of Cardiff. INTERVIEW WITH MR. NORRIS HEP- WORTH. As the result of an interview which took place between our Swansea representative and Mr. Norris Hepworth, the celebrated clothier of Leeds, at the Langland Bay Hotel the other evening, we are enabled to throw some light on the difficulty the local Liberal Association has had in getting hold of a candidate, and also to clear away one of the suTcested names from the list. Mr. Hepworth is not for Cardiff Air. Hepworth, who is quite a young man, was in company with another great North of England merchant—Mr. Jackson, of three-and- liinepennv-hat fame. They seemed to be greatly enjoying their stay at the delightful bay on the Gower coast. From what our representative could observe during a very pleasant little dinner Cardiff has lost in Mrs. Hepworth a remark- able addition to its social attractions. But Mr. Hepworth was very decided on the matter. In reply to our representative he said frankly and at once — "Yes. I was approached bv the leaders of the Cardiff Liberal Association early this year, and asked if I would allow my name to be put before the association with those of other gentle- men. and I at once wrote and told them what I now tell you, that I have no intention what- ever of seeking Parliamentary honours, at any rate, for some years to come." "Then you have declined once for all?" Unquestionably. I am young, and I am going to devote the next few years of my life to my business. We are opening new branches both in England and abroad, and I am myself abroad a great part of the year. In a few years I may possibly finter Parliament. I have already been con- sulted with respect to several seats, some of them pretty safe ones, but I have returned the same answer." "You mean 'safe' compared with Cardiff, I suppose?" suggested our representative, with a little emphasis. Oh it is not the stiffness of the contest there that I am afraid of at all. I dearly love a. fight. I fought and. won a ward at Leeds which had always belonged to the other side. I should like to fight Cardiff of all places. There is no place I should so much care to represent if I went into Parliament at all, but, as I say, I am not going." INTERVIEWS WITH LEADING CARDIFF LIBERALS. MR. EBENEZER BEAVAN RETICENT. A ^Western Mail" man on Tuesday waited upon Mr. Ebenezer Bevan to ask him what he thought of the situation and the effect the executive committee meeting was likely to have upon H. The teetotal county councillor was nourteous in his reception, but he seemed to be in a reticent mood. The reporter, under these circumstances, thought it judicious before "pumping" Mr. Beavan to inquire after his health, but this littb, ruse was see L through at once, MT. Beavan remarking, somewhat gruffly. "I know what vou have come here ahout. It is not so much riboirt my state of health as that you wish to 'draw me in relation to last night's meeting. It is rather too bad of you, as a representative of the Western Mail,' to come here and fish on a subject which hitherto has been kept private from both papers, so far as not admit- tine the press is concerned. "I suppose you have read the report of last nifc-ht's meeting?" "Yes. I see the "Western Mail" and the "Daily News" have each :m account of what is puiported to have taken place, and it is only another evidence, to my mind, of the folly and absurdity of keeping out the press. Yes it is a fact that at the meeting a suarsrestion was made as to the admission of the press, and the decision arrived at was that the officials of the executive would themselves give the official report to the cress representative- "But, what about tin present position of affairs v" "W ell, the meeting was a very important one, and lasted, as you are aware, until nearly mid- night. You may guage from that fact thi character of tli- meeting, but you must not ask me to tell you anything that transpired, it being a private meeting of the Liberal executive. I am sure oil will not press me to divulge these private particulars." The reporter said he could not think of doing 80, and withdrew. CARDIFF DEMOCRATS IN REVOLT. The Cardiff democrats, despite the fact that the chairman of the Union has given his adhesion to the Sir Edward Reed party, are in open revolt against the decision of the execu- tive to recommend the name of the honourable member to the Thousand. "We had a hard job to badger his resignation out of Sir Edward." one of the leading democrats told our representative yesterday, "and we will not take him back as a candidate unless we have definite pledges and ample surety that he will in the fufcuie consider himself our representa- tive and act as such, and not use his position to promote his own desires. There will be a strong and numerous opposition to Sir Edward Rc-ed on the Thousand. The proposal to approach him again inajr be carried, but those against him will be strong enough to extort fioin him the guarantees of political consis- tency and party loyalty which he Htuhbornly refused at the famous Colonial-hall meeting in 1892. If lie is adopted by the Radicals of Cardiff he will first have to eat humble pie. He will have to discard his old notions ? bruit the personal independence of a member of Par- liament, and all that sort of rubbish." THE TRIUMPH OF THE "JUNIORS." A correspondent writes:—The result of the meeting of the Cardiff Liberal Association Oil Monday wa.s a decided victory for the Junior Association, but so indignant are some of the older ones at the proceedings that a re-con- struction of the Cardiff Liberal Thousand is now said to be intended, and a "bust up." as one ef them called it, may be expected at any moment. On reading over the minutes of the previous meeting it was found that Sir Edward Reed's resignation had never been formally accepted, and this was seized hold of as a peg by some of the younger ones. and it was on this ground that Mr. F. J. Beavan spoke in favour of the motion that Sir Edward Reed be asked to re- consider and withdraw his letter tendering his resignation, and the older ones had to submit to a resolution which binds them to go to Sir Edward Reed and inform him that they had waited upon every person recommended to them by the Liberal Whip, but no one could be found willing to contest Cardiff at the next general election, and under these circumstances beg of him to again come forward as their candi- date, and this, too, in spite of the fact that two members present on Monday evening who repre- sented the Irish electors told the meeting that under such circumstances they must not rely on the vote of the Irish electors. It also transpired -and this was another, point seized hold of by the Juniors-that Mr. Robert Bird was never sent to London by the Liberal Thousand, but by the few who were accustomed to manage these matters, and, therefore, these gentlemen had never been asked in the name of the Thou- sand, and there were those on Monday who declared thyt if a deputation consisting of some of the Juniors had Tone up the result would in all probability hive Lien different. Sir Edward Reed has. however, definitely declined to contest Cardiff again, and especially at the next general election. Mr. Moxey has also definitely declined, and the only name before the Liberal Thousand is that of Mr. Cory, who will not meet with the approval of the Junior Association. On the understanding that the executive would approach Sir Edward Reed and I use their best efforts to induce him to withdraw his letter, the meeting proposed to be held on Saturday has been abandoned. WHAT HAS SIR EDWARD DONE FOR THE RANK AND FILE? To the Editor of the "Evening Express." Sir,—If Sir Edward Reed is to be the Liberal candidate again, we must know at once if he will support the Liberal programme and the Liberal party. For a long time he lias done l little but threaten opposition to the Govern- ment if he did not get what he wanted, and, as he has so far had nothing, it will be necessary that before we can entertain the proposal to adopt him to know what are his intentions. It is rather strange that the gentle- men whose names figure in the papers to-day as having supported Sir Edward at the executive last night have either been made magistrates at Sir Edward's recommendation or shortly expect to be elevated to that position on account of his influence.

Sir,—Your correspondent C. H. C," is a coward. He avows himself a disciple of Socialism, and yet the craven is afra.id to assist us in furthering its principles because, fersootb, the Independent Labour Party is not strong enough to win. He says four or six representa- tives in the House of Commons would be of no service to Socialists. This is not in accordance with history. If C. H. C." will read the records of the Commons he will find that every great reform has had its advance guard. But supposing we were not represented in Par- liament by more than one member, we should still be doing more good than if we had no one in Parliament. Take recent events. Will C. H. C." dare to say that Keir Hardie's amendment to the Queen's Address asking for consideration of the unemployed question was without its effect on the country ? Supposing it had only been the means of showing the apathy of the Liberal party to great social reforms, it was still an educative force, which could not have been used with such telling effect on the community except through the legislative Chamber. The same thing applies to Keir Hardie's motion asking for the reduction of the pension of Mr. ex- Speaker Peel. Let us take, however, the full allowance of M.P.'s granted us by C.H.C. viz., four or six, representing the Independent Labourists in the Commons. Every individual of that party counts for votes on a division. History will supply the rest. How many times within the last 50 years might a small party of I four or six have spoilt a measure 1 jp of the Government by holding the balance power ? And it is this balance of powe, which forms our basis of fighting. We must force the Liberals to give us the great sociar., reforms which we seek. Our first step in this forcing is to compel them to allow us to return,? several Independent Labour M.P.'s to the-' Commons by threatening the continuance of j their majority in the House, and, therefore,-J their Ministry. Our second step, when we get, several members in the House, will be to compel; them to introduce social reform Bills by threatening the passing of their pet mea- sures — that is to say, by holding the Parliamentary balance of power. Reforms in the past have been achieved and reforms in the future will be achieved by these same plans. We do not desire, and we do not expect, a Labour Ministry within the next teJ1 years, but that is no earthly reason why w, should not work our very utmost to further the aim. It is a truism that constant dripping weareth away stone," and in no case can that truism be applied with greater force than to the promotion of a great social revolution.—I am. <fcc.} CUMMING NORTH.
