The elections of the recess are ominously suggestive of the

necessity of union amongst Liberals. With a wise policy, Bos- ton reconciles its sections, and adopts Mr.. Tuxford as its only candidate. Honiton unanimously returns Mr. Moffatt, who has already done well in previous Parliaments. Wick seems dis- posed to except the candidature of Lord Bury, one of the most promising of young Liberals. But Reading is divided against itself ; it has two most desirable candidates, but a purely local feeling is likely to result in the success of an undisguised Tory. The Liberal electors of Reading will do well to settle the matter ; they should bear in mind that it is not alone themselves and their local views which require representation, but the great body politic of which they only form an item.
