RESULTS OF THE ELECTION—IF ANY ?

So far as the Election has proceeded, it would seem to con- firm our anticipation that the electors intend to create a Parlia- ment representing as nearly as possible the mediocrity of the middle class. Many a well-known Member has already been displaced, for somebody either not known or only known to be not worth knowing. Moro than tine able and accomplished man is sent out of public life, to make way for another who ought never to have left private life. The only conclusion as yet in' view is that it will be a Parliament of Nobodies: a Parliament of Nobodies can suggest no inference; the meaning to be anticipated from it is nothing.
