Bath election row exposes times and hume spat
A Bath electoral clash spills into public debate with attacks on the Times and Globe for bias. The Bath electors accuse Hume of intruding and Roebuck of reformist merit, urging voters to assess candidates by character and public service rather than aristocratic influence. The piece argues Bath fans democratic reform, denounces government influence, and cites Devonport and Brighton as contrasting examples of independent press strength.
