VOTELESS PEERS.
EFFECT OF THE LIBERAL POLICY
(Received December 7th, 10.50 p.m.) LONDON, December 7.
Mr George Wyndham, speaking at Stourbridge, said whatever the result of the elections might be, half the electors would declare against the Government and a change in the Constitution, and no Constitution could stand which was based on only half the voters of the country.
Earl Derby, speaking at a Unionist meeting at Lancaster, comparing the Government's veto resolutions with Lord Rosobery's and Lord Lansdowr.e's proposals, said he confessed he relinquished the hereditary right without a qualm of conscience because, ho believed he could render infinitely hotter service to the State sitting in tho House of Lords as the representative of a great city than as his father's son, whereas under the Parliament Bill he would be voteless and a mere male suffragette.
