that the leaders of the party are now thoroughly alive to the necessity that exists for a fundamental change in our organisation.

With such a change, there is no constituency where ultimate success need be deemed impossible. Take Westminster for instance. Up to the year 1868 it was looked upon as hopelessly Radical; it is now an almost impregnable Conservative stronghold. The change has been brought about by sheer hard work at, and close attention to, the dry details of electoral management. Would not Mr Smith, Westminster's distinguished representative, be ready and willing to serve his party by giving them the benefit of his advice as to how to effect a similar transformation in other cities? We believe that if a few of our most expert and practised election managers would but combine their ideas and experience, we should see the example set by Westminster and the City of London followed, in a few years, throughout the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.

Faint-hearted Conservatives must remember that even our present great defeat can be retrieved by the transfer of some five per cent Liberal votes to our own cause. It cannot but be within the resources of political science to win over that number of men from a cause the ultra-Radicalism of which becomes daily more apparent. Now is the moment to set to work. The Oxford election is our first encouraging omen, followed by the vic

tory at Sandwich, and the defeat of the Scotch Lord Advocate in the Wigtown Burghs. Secondly, we may expect other Conservative abstentionists to imitate the good example set by Lord Carnarvon, and to return in the hour of adversity to the party, some of whose deeds they dissented from in prosperity. The imperious character of the new Prime Minister, and the corresponding tone already adopted by some of his subordinates, warrant the belief that his present Administration, like his last, intend to ride rough - shod over the scruples of all who shall presume to differ from them. Interests may again expect to be harassed; and "plundering and blundering" will be again the Liberal Ministry's motto. Let us make those words its epitaph. We have sufficient time before us in which thoroughly to organise ourselves; but none to waste. have confidence in our leaders, who have had the opportunity during the past six years of showing themselves capable of conducting the affairs of State. We have the sympathy and good wishes of every country in Europe, with the exception of despotic Russia. Sursum corda should be our battle cry; and if we have but faith and perseverance, there is no reason why the next general election should not see the constitutional party return again to power, with an even more decisive majority than it possessed in 1874.
