Excerpt from Address of Sir Roundell Palmer, M. P., To the Present and Prospective Electors of the Borough of Richmond, Yorkshire: In the Town Hall, Richmond, on the Twenty-First Day of August, 1868 Now, Gentlemen, I have done with the past, and propose to say something of the future; and it is impossible to approach the sub jcet of the future without referring in some degree to those alarms and apprehensions in which I did not myself participate, but which were expressed by some persons of not inconsiderable eminence, as to the effect of the large extension of the Franchise which has _now taken place.

Lowe, who seemed to foresee innumerable dangers, 1f not general anarchy and confusion, as the probable consequences of such a measure of Reform. How that view could recommend itself to one so able and of so clear a mind, I for one, do not at all under stand: and I am happy to observe that, although he seemed then to be so much alarmed, he does not now seem to be more frightened than other people. (laughter.) On the contrary, he appears to have as good a heart in carrying reforms further as almost any one amongst us. (hear, hear.) I therefore think I may take courage, and say, that I fail to see, in the way in which the arrangements for the forthcoming general election are being made, any Signs of approaching anarchy or unusual corruption; it strikes me, that things are going on very much in the same way as they used to do.
