Mr. Jessel did not say much to his constituents at

Dover, except that he for one should not pander to the wishes of his superiors,— quite a superfluous remark in a politician whose pot weaknesses are to answer his superiors, snub his equals, and, mentally, kick his inferiors into their places. He exonerated the Liberals from wishing to pass the Ballot to increase their own power by remark- ing that the majority was already quite large enough, and excused himself from promises by declaring that he was not in the secrets of the Cabinet. Up to Friday evening no opposition seems to have been announced, and the Standard occupied itself into goading Conservatives to the fight.
