Lloyds Weekly Newspaper (Newspaper) - February 22, 1880, London, Middlesex 1DITED BY REGISTERED AT THE POST OFFICE LONDON ONE THE IRISH BOROUGH The debate on the extension of the franchise which took place in the House oi Commons on Tuesday is to be because the opposition to this extension by the Government was conducted in an to exasperate the Irish Such a as that of the Chief Secretary for with its feeble pleasantries and stale banter can only deepen the dislike with which he to be regarded by Her Irish The Tatter words with which Mr Meldon closed the debate will be and reechoed in The announcements in the Irish the right mans frequent departures to especially when large were to be and the neglect his duties as Chief Secre tarv have so exasperated the people of Ireland rebuke from him must be taken as a A racing Chief Secretary can even to a Tory to be the right man in the right in the present condition of The tone of the to resolution in favour of the equalization of the English and Irish borough franchise was deplo rable The speech of Lewis TOS calculated to exasperate the Irish and so to play into the hands of the professional agitators whom he In the course of his he Home Rule was not now a harmless snake it was a poisonous The hiss and rattle which heralded its and the slimy trail it left had made it hateful in the eyes of every loyal When people sive observations like these received in the House of Commons with Ministerial in the course of a debate on the expediency of granting to them the franchise which has been conceded to their English they may well tarn and ask themselves whether they will ever obtain justice from an English while the Conservatives have a majority in It was only when Bright after Sir William that the debate became worthy of the importance and gravity of the sub Sir made one excellent point in denouncing the vituperative tone of the member for Bright removed the discussion to a higher level than it had reached before he In disposing of the old Tory trotted out afresh for this that poor people like the smallest Irish householders could not be safely trusted with the he said that when a Liberal Government proposed to reduce the English borough franchise to the Tories by more than votes declared that such an extension would swamp the constituencies with the working class and the very next year these objectors leaped over the and agreed to a suffrage under which it was enough if there were four walls round a man and a roof over although his house was no better than a To the contention that extension of the franchise in Ireland must wait until the Irish seats could be Bright replied that a sweeping had beeri passed for England eleven or twelve years ago and that redistribution was still to The right honourable gentlemans reasons in favour of the put with quiet and in unvarnished are He denied that the Irish people were apathetic on the He asserted ou the it formed part of what he called the bundle or faggot of which the Irish people have against the House of He told the House that if it did Ireland justice by extending the borough the country would become more tractable with regard to other Coming to the party view of the Bright tackled it with his usual vigour and Possibly the extension of the suffrage in Ireland might make Irish Conservative mem bers myths There are said the who do not think that would be any particular If the Irish people are and if they are Liberal or they will return Catholic Liberals and Radicals directly they have a full voice in the election of members and in a country governed by repre sentative institutions this is only just and The possibility of such a consequence cannot be properly alleged as an argument against an act of joining could be better than Brights de scription of the Toryism of the justly unpopular Chief Secretary for The Chief Secre he disagrees with everything that has been done for Ireland for the know not how many I say lie is so steeped in this which I call a feeling hostile to the real interests of I doat think it is possible he could absorb a single drop Such a Chief Secretary is a worthy representa tive of Tory Irish policy which has con in a systematic opposition to reforms and improvements of all and in the main tenance of a numerous police and a strong mili tary The Conservative objection to the extension of the Borough franchise in is not one of but of They will have none because it would enfeeble their On inis head Bright gave the Ministerial benches bit of I am of opinion that it is by your policy in Past times that this unfortunate state of feeling has and exists in Ireland and if I sat on that sioe of the sitting there I was to lose Wiat little common sense I have

think it quite possible tnat we might so change the state of things in Ire that we should no longer breed and encourage a opinion there which not only but we this side But it comes out of the the and
