THE LEAGUE OF ST. GEORGE.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPICTATOR."1

Srs,—I think your correspondent Mr. Ladbroke Black (Spectator, January 21st) has mistaken the meaning of the phrase "put party before self." Men may, and often do, make personal sacrifices for the public good which they regard as synonymous with the objects aimed at by their party. That is, I venture to say, the kind of putting party before self which is referred to.—I am,

Sir, &c., H. T. BLAND. Derby and Derbyshire Conservative Club.
