Mr. Bright made another, and a much finer, speech on
Thursday at Liverpool,—containing a vehement attack on Mr. Disraeli's political sincerity, and reporting the late Mr. Cobden's judgment thereupon. Going back from the House one night after Mr. Disraeli had spoken ably "for his clients," ""Mr. Cobden was speaking of the extraordinary spectacle of a man of Mr. Disraeli's powers and genius giving everything up to a cause in which he felt confident he could not believe, and he made to me this observa- tion :---‘ What a retrospect that man must have ! He seems to forget this, that by and by, as far as this world is concerned, there will be nothing left but retrospect to any of us.' " Yet Mr. Disraeli can hardly forget this. There is no man who looks at life more often from a point as it were outside it. Probably if he heartily believes in a hereafter, he thinks that he can carry strategy thither with him,—and educate, if not the souls of his party, at least his own, for a more radical reform than any he has advocated here.
