London, Mr. Arthur Charles, Q.C. That disbelief is strengthened by
what we see of the composition of the Liberal Committee for the sitting Member, Mr. Lowe. The Committee has hardly been many days in existence, and yet it contains one hundred and fifty of the best names of the University, in- cluding many Members of Parliament,—Sir Julian Goldsmid, M.P., the chairman ; Mr. M. E. Grant Duff, M.P. for Elgiu ; the Right Hon. James Stansfeld, M.P. for Halifax ; Mr. W. E. Price, M.P. ; Mr. Serjeant Simon, M.P. ; Mr. Waddy, M.P., &c. No doubt, the Doctors are somewhat inadequately re- presented on the Committee,—though some Doctors of great eminence have given their names,—and for a very good reason. We suspect the Conservatives would never have started a candidate, but for the disgust of many of the Doctors at Mr. Lowe's steady and powerful support of the admission of women to medical as well as other degrees. But what has weakened Mr. Lowe on the medical side of his constituency, will vastly strengthen him in the faculties of Arta, Science, and Laws.
