THE RYE ELECTION.
[TO THE EDITOR OP TER "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—In your comments on the result of the Rye election I see that you allude to the " swing of the pendulum " as though it were in itself a cause. May it not very well be that this " swing " is the result of any one of the four reasonable causes which you mention in the same paragraph ? For my- self, I have always voted Conservative. At the next election, however, I shall vote Liberal, not from any desire for change per se, but because I wish to see men in power who have not made, and do not intend to make, an alliance for any purpose whatever with Germany. I merely give you the point of view of one or more voters.—I am, Sir, &c., JAS. RALPH.
[Unquestionably the German Alliance has alienated a very large number of votes from the Government.—En. Spectator.]
