[TO TEE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR. ") SIR, — I notice your correspondent
"Centralist" wishes that a solution could be found as to the best means of electing a number of Centralist Members to the House of Commons. As an experienced politician, I beg leave to offer the following suggestion. There are at present a number of constituencies represented by Socialist-Labour Members. At the next General Election in many of these cases the Socialist Member will not be opposed by the Liberal Party, and therefore the opportunity will arise to run a number of Centralist candi- dates, with the possibility of receiving sufficiently large support from Free-trade Conservatives and Liberals to carry the seats. Why not be ready with candidates and funds ?- I am, Sir, &c., FREE-TRADER. [Our correspondent's suggestion is, we believe, thoroughly sound.—ED. Spectator.]
