TO THE -ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY…
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF BRECON. GENTLEMEN,— I. <> With the knowledge that there is in your County a strong Liberal feeling, and chat that feeling has been un_ represented in Parliament for more than thirty years, cannot doubt that you must view with regret the prospect of another General Election in which the opportunity is el still wanting to you of an expression of your opinions. I therefore venture respectfully to solicit the honour of your votes for the County of Brecon. T Though personally unknown to the majority of you, i cannot be said to be an entire stranger, my Father and Grandfather having held property in the County foi the last Fifty years. I am able to see the great evil of disturbing the poli- tical peace of your county, and should shrink from so doin" had I not good reason to hope that a fair chance of success was before me. Should my candidature, through your endeavours, be successful, I sho'ultI enter Parliament as a decided sup- porter of Mr. Gladstone's Government, believing that it is based on those sound principles of liberality and justice to the people to which we look for the future prosperity of the nation. I observe with pleasure that it is the intention of the Government during the ensuing Session to deal with the questions ot Jliducation, the Transfer and Descent ]jand,_the Game Laws, and other matters, in all of which there is much need of reform. I shall vote for the immediate repeal of the 25th clause of the Education Act, especially as I look upon that as one step towards religious equality, which I hope to see established in the country. I shall support any mea- sure tor making education compulsory and excluding all religious instruction, as in mj opinion such instruction does not come within the province of the Government. c c.ajln°t doubt that when the energy of the Ministry is iairly exerted, with a view to the more equal adjust- ment of the burdens of local taxation, such a measure will be passed as will accord with the wishes of the ma- joiity of the ratepayers, and tend to lessen the present reeling of dissatisfaction at the heaviness of the burdens which they are compelled to bear. I should support with pleasure such modification of the game laws as may tend to secure the occupiers of Ian against damage arising from an excess of game. Lhe laws relating to the sale of Spirituous Liquors require amendment. Any measure that would impose a check upon intemperance would meet with my entire approval. There are many other questions on which I shall hope to give you my views before the day of election, if yoU will favour me with a hearing. Finally, I would remind you that the Liberal party has, but with short intervals', conducted the Government of the country for the last forty years that under it the nation has enjoyed a season of unexampled prosperity, and that Mr. Gladstone has just given us a programme of great promise for the future. I ana, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, W. FULLER MAITLAND, JUNR. Garth House, January 27th, 1874. 102.50

— rj70 THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF CARDIFF, COWBRIDGE, AND LLANTRISSANT. GENTLEMEN— After 17 years of faithful service as your Representative in Parliament, I have once more to ask for the renewal of your confidence. Luiing that period of time I have had the pleasure of voting in complete harmony with the opinion of the majority of my constituents in favour of those great legislative measures which have added to the glory and greatness of this Kingdom, the permanancy of its institu- tions, and the wealth and comfort of its people. In 18GS you sent me to Parliament with the avowed object of supporting the Administration of lr. Gladstone in its attempt to render tardy jus tice to Ireland by the Disestablishment of a church which was alien to the great mass of its people, and by making the law affecting Landlord and Tenant more compatible with fair security to the latter for his improve- ments. I most heartily supported the measures introduced to effect those objects, and believe that in time the result of their having become law will ac- complish the pacification of our Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen in Ireland and bind together all classes of her Majesty's subjects in indissoluble bonds. I have to congratulate you that, notwithstanding the persistent opposition of the Tory party, you are now enabled to record your votes by Ballot. Whatever your opinions may be you can now give effect to them with absolute secrecy. 1 u"nnecessary for me to point out at any lenDth tne other great enactments of the Parliament about to expire Suffice it to say that I most cordTally Sv and^ the T, r* t Ab°lilion of Purchase in the Army, and the Judicature and Education Bills which ,ffid»cvTd°Le,MntS cannot but K iid4lBO'totSS,WTmy of the State, and also to the elevation of the people. dencetomy past^Pn that 1 may refer with confi- that, if elected, ^eeras a guarantee I rtrr all WPII ,L, • i 111 ever be found sup- the liberties of the. people Trthe68 °f all i\.artmentTof wkhout niggardliness'"in -j ^ePd^plufon.

I am likewise strongly in favour of Mr. Osborne Mor- gan's Dissenters' Burial Bill. With reference to tne series of measures announced by the Prime Minister in his admirable address, namely, the reform and readjustment of Local Taxation, the intended alteration in the Laws affecting Employers and Em- ployed the transfer and occupation of Land, and the as- aimilqt'ion of the County and Borough Franchise, and especially the abolition of the Income Tax.

It has da to the enlarged constituencies independence and se(TK in the exercise of the franchise, and it has with Sue deliberation improved and reformed the administra- are some of the principal measures which, among multitude of minor reforms, have been the result of fv.Xlx.urs of the Parliament of 1868. I have given my •?i 1 ncassistancein passing them, and I entertain some W1Snce that the country will, on reviewing the history this parliament, feel reason to fee satisfied both with the work itself and the manner in which it has been Tt appears me that the task of the Parliament now ahnut to be elected will be of a somewhat different character, and that it will consist rather in the extension j adaptation of our laws and institutions to the grow- • wants of the community than in the accomplishment of great organic changes, 01 sn the removal of any crying is ti'ue that the question of the extension of house- hold suffrage to counties will probably be brought, promi- nently under the consideration of the new Parliament. While I desire to see the agricultural labourers adequately represented, and while I believe that no good grounds ran be assigned for the exclusion from the franchise of many whose condition is absolutely identical with that of its present possessors, I am of opinion that so great a change could not be effected without other consider- able alterations of our existing electoral system, and I am unwilbng to pledge myself to vote for the principle of a further extension of the suffrage, until the conse- quent changes have been more thoroughly discussed by the country.. Xhe Prime Minister, m the Address which has just been issued, has indicated sonte of the subjects to which tne attention ot parliament will probably be more imme- diately called, -t1 ew will doubt that our system of Local Government arid Liocal Taxation, the Sanitary Laws, th» Game Laws, the laws relating to the Transfer of Land, and those which deal with the relations of Master ana Workman are susceptihje of improvement, but, on tht other hand, few will be of opinion that on these ques- tions, great or sweeping changes are necessary, or that J anything is required beyond gradual, though liberal reform.. The prosperity of the country, aided as I think we may venture to assert, by the sound financial policy 01 tne present Government, has given to the next Parliament an opportunity of dealing with great questions of finance, and of granting considerable relief to all classes by well- considered remissions of taxation. These are subjects which will afford full scope for the exercise of the highest administrative and legislative ability. I am far from claiming for the Liberal party a monopoly of either of these qualities, but I leave it with confidence to you to determine whether you prefer to en- trust the direction of the labours which I have briefly in- dicated to those who have in the past consulted the wishes of the people, or to those who-have usually opposed them. The present condition of Ireland may disappoint those who expected that any legislation could immediately re- move all traces of disaffection or hostility to the Im- perial Government. The Irish measures of this Parlia- ment were not intended as bribes to secure the adection of Ireland, but as acts of justice, which we owed as well to ourselves as to Ireland. It is, however, satisfactory to know that crime, especially agrarian crime, has greatly decreased; that in spite of the efforts of a few insignificant persons to revive the Fenian Con- spiracy, the country is universally tranquil, and that with this increasing tranquillity its material prosperity is steadily advancing, notwithstanding the occurrence of two insufficient harvests. You are aware that in Ireland a strong desire exists, a desire which I rejoice to say is peacefully and constitu- tionally expressed, that while the union between the three kingdoms should be maintained, a Parliament should again meet in Dublin for the purpose of consider- ing Irish local affairs. So far as this desire origi- nate& from any supposed inability or indisposition on the part of the Imperial Parliament to legislate for Ireland, I am fully convinced that it is founded on error and I will not admit that there exists in the two countries any such diversity of circumstances or character as would alone justify Parliament in excluding from the consideration of Irish affairs, the experience, the wisdom, and the patriotism of the members of Parliament of the United Kingdom- I admit that in Ireland, or in other portions of the United Kingdom, a grievance exists in the necessity for holding minute and unimportant inquiries of a local character at great expense before Committees of both Houses of Parliament: but I think this grievance may be remedied without any disturbance of those functions of the Imperial Parliament, which are really of a legislative character. Agan, Ireland may suffer in common with the rest of the empire, from the fact that in the variety and multiplicity of its duties, many of which are of an exciting political character, measures of merely administrative or sociai importance, too often'fail to obtain from Parliament the prompt attention which they deserve. But the remedy for this appears to me to lie, not in the creation of a number of local Parliaments, but in a reform of the procedure of Parliament itself which might enable it successfully to deal with the mass of business which now nearly over- whelms it. The present Government has had the good fortune to have been able to preserve unbroken relations of peace with all civilised nations. We are now engaged—not, I think, by any fault of ours-in a war with a barbarous African Power. Although the expedition which has been despatched is on a small scale, I am sure that you will have seen with satisfaction that no precaution has been omitted which could tend to promote its efficiency, as well as the health and comfort of the troops engaged in it. I trust almost immediately to be able personally to solicit from you a renewal of the trust which you have conferred on me, and remain- Your obedient Servant, HARTINGTON.
