ORATORICAL DUEL.
VIGOROUS SPEECH BY MR. BALFOUR. LIBERAL BLOW- AT FREE DEBATE. LONDON, 4th December. The Unionist leader (Right Hon. A. J. Balfour) addressed a gathering of 10,000 persons at Grimsby, on behalf of Sir George Doughty, the Liberal Unionist candidate who was defeated in January by Mr. Tom Wing, Liberal. Mr. Balfour said men of moderate opinions were coming over to the Conservatives. If the Liberals' proposals were carried the time when the House of Commons was a place of free debate would be gone for ever. The Govern- j ment meant to give one-Chamber rule, that chamber working under the gag. The actions of ' the House of Commons under the group system may not in the least represent the people's settled will.
