Mr. Goschen also rallied the Opposition on the disposition they
are showing to renew their promissory notes after they are in Office, and ought to be thinking of redeeming them. They won the General Election by promises, and they appear now to think of retaining Office by a renewal of these promises. That will hardly do. The late Government effected a good deal, but carefully refrained from drawing bills on the future. They and their followers now constitute the strongest Opposition which for a good many years has sat on the left side of the Speaker's chair ; and they are full of hope that they will be even more successful and united in Opposition than they were in Office, though in Office they were both united and successful.
