TOSEN said he was cut short, but in a few words he would say that he would resist to the bitter end any attempt to alter the law as it at present stood. He spoke on behalf of his constituents and himself. Mr. JEPPE, in the course of his speech, said: Who are the people who now demand from us a reasonable extension of the franchise?

On the contrary, a large number of them were against it. They did not wish to exclude the new-comers for all eternity, but just now they should make no concession.
