Election £ tddte&e& COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. GENTLEMEN,— Her Majesty having been advised to dissolve Parlia- ment, there will very shortly be a General Election of Members to serve in the new House of Commons. In respectfully soliciting a renewal of the confidence which you have reposed in me as one of your representa- tives, for a period of time extending over forty-four years, I feel that it is not required that I should mike new pro- fessions. Most of the great questions which so long divided public opinion in this country have been set at rest, and the New Parliament will have to discuss and decide upon subjects which, although of the greatest importance to the welfare of the community, have happily not ye assumed a party character. Such, for instance, are Laws affecting Employers and Employed the Licensee Laws the Laws of Rating and Local Government, the Laws relating to the Descent and Tenure of Lam ■ If I have the honour to be re-elected as jjouse of •County of Glamorgan, I shall enter the assist- r( Commons with an earnest desire to a?or.4 fr endeavours ance in my power to the Government in I30rtant mea- to deal with these, and with the other J tjje Prime aures alluded to in the address publish Minister to the Electors of Greenwi<g*_ntjenien> I have the honour to be, T vant Y7 £ thfMA5sEL TALBOT.

The difficult question of K ational Education has been dealt with in a comprehensive manner, but the Act re quires considerable modIfication, and I have on two oc- casions voted for the repeal of the —5th Clause, being de- cidedly opposed to the application of rates to dogmatic teaching.

I shall be much astonished if the spirit of the nation does not resent this unprecedented manoeuvre, as it its in- telligence will defeat the attempt to submit a false issue to its judgment.

GENTLEMEN,— Her Majesty having, by the advice of her Ministers, resolved upon the dissolution of Parliament, I again offer myself as a Candidate for the Representation of your Boroughs. I trust that my political opinions are already well known to you, and that it is scarcely necessary for me to say that I adhere to those Liberal principles of policy which I professed when you first did me the honour to elect me. The Parliament, the career of which is about to close has not disappointed the hopes of those who anticipated from an extended suffrage a great increase in legislative ^The maintenance of the Irish Church Establishment and the system of Purchase in the Army were abuses which although, in my opinion, indefensible in argument mi"ht'long have held their ground, but for the impulse which the attack upon them received from the large ex- tension of the popular element in boroughs. Besides removing these abuses, Parliament has given expression and effect to the desire of the people of this country that the instruction of their children should no longer be left entirely to voluntary effort; and, if it has not completed the structure, it has at least laid the foun- dations of a really national system of education. It has secured to the enlarged constituencies independence and protection in the exercise of the franchise, and it has with due deliberation improved and reformed the administra- tion of the law • t t These are some of the principal measures which, among a multitude of minor reforms, have been the result of the labours of the Parliament of 1868. I have given my willing assistance in passing them, and I entertain some confidence that the country will, on reviewing the history of this Parliament, feel reason to be satisfied both with the work itself and the manner in which it has been ^°It appears to me that the task of the Parliament now about to be elected will be of a somewhat different character, and that it will consist rather in the extension and adaptation of our laws and institutions to the grow- in 2 wants of the community than in the accomplishment of great organic changes, 01 in the removal of any crying a^l jg t.ue that the question, of the extension of house- hold suffrage to comities will probably be brought promi- nently under the consideration of the new Parliament. While I desire to see the agricultural labourers adequately reDresented, and while 1 believe that no good grounds fee assigned for the exclusion from the franchise of manV wb°se condition is absolutely identical with that of its present possessors, I am 0f opinion that so great a change could not be effected without other consider- able alterations of our existing electoral system, and I am unwilling to pledge mygelf tG vote for the principle of a further extension of the suffrage, until the conse- quent changes have been more thoroughly discussed by The Prime Minister, in the Address which has just been issued, has indicated some of the subjects to which the attention of Parliament will probably be more imme- diately called. Few will doubt that our system of Local Government and Local laxation, the Sanitary Laws, tht Game Laws, the laws relating to the Transfer of Land, and those which deal with the relations of Master and Workman are susceptible 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 anything is required beyond gradual, though liberal rCThe prosperity of the country, aided as I think we may venture to assert, by the sound financial policy of the nresent 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 ^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 n°t intended as bribes to secure the affection Ireland, but as acts of justice, which we owed as well to ourselves as to Ireland.
