Is it possi- bl for Lord Salishury to o on with an ad- ministration constructed on the lines of the present one, but without Lord Randolph Churehitl's aid? Lord Randolph Churchill was much more than chancellor of the exchequer. e was the leader of the louse of commons, and during the autumn season showed that whatever may be his quality as a financies he has in a high degree the gift of managing men, and especially of guiding a loosely or- ganized and inpressionable popular assem- bly.
