To go no farther back than the defeat of Lord Beacons-field at the polls in 1880, one may recall the confusion and retirement of Mr. Forster, the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish, the harrowing of Sir George Trevelyan and Mr. Campbell-Bannerman, the brief rule of Sir William Hart-Dyke, and the sudden appearance and disappearance of Mr. W. H. Smith.
