The canvass for Mr. Hughes in Lambeth is, we understand,
going on prosperously, and we rejoice to observe that the working men of London are taking an active part in the canvass for the best friend of co-operative labour who has ever asked the votes of a constituency. In a very manly address put forth by the leading men among the amalgamated engineers, iron moulders, masons, carpenters, painters, bricklayers, bookbinders, compositors, boot- makers, and colourists, the writers remind their fellow-workers that Mr. Hughes has written much and nobly in their cause, and not written only, but "supported largely and co.:tirnally with. his purse co-operation on the soundest and best principles." We trust their appeal may succeed. If Lambeth wants a local candidate, let it return the next best man—Mr. Alderman Law- rence. But for such a borough to return two local men, when they might send one of an entirely fresh type to the House of Commons, would be foolish and wrong. Parliament will not miss the services of Mr. Doulton.
