The Manchester Radicals do not seem particularly well organized. They

have complete control of the borough, but have nevertheless contrived to lose the second seat. They split on the rival claims of Mr. Abel Heywood, an extreme man of a vulgar school, and Mr. Jacob Bright, a candidate nearly of the Molesworth type, a hard, cold, but thoughtful democrat, who believes, or at least says, the will of the majority is a law. Conse- quently Mr. E. James, Q.C., leader of the Northern circuit, a moderate but trustworthy Liberal, and a very able man, offered himself, and was carried by the Conservative vote into the second seat, a result not in itself to be regretted, but indicating the party anarchy now prevailing in Manchester.
