Mr. B. T. Williams, the Member for the Carmarthen District,
having accepted a County-Court Judgeship, Mr. Lewis Morris, —the author of " The Songs of Two Worlds,"—came forward, with Mr. John Jones Jenkins,—both of them as Liberal candi- dates,but the voters of the Carmarthen District do not wish for a poet as their Member, and seem to prefer very much having an ex-Mayor of Swansea. Perhaps they arc right. Mr. Lewis Morris might, perhaps, have misrepresented the Carmarthen Liberals, almost as seriously as Socrates would have misrepre- sented the Athenians, at the time when, as Mr. Lewis Morris finely puts it, " he doubted their doubts away." The ex-Mayor will do the thing better, and save Mr. Morris, perhaps, from personal experience of two very distinct worlds,—the world of thought and the world of political importunity,—simul- taaeous experience of which does not often result either in song, or in the mood of mind which leads to song.
