districts with a single member for each electoral di^Tision, except
in a very few cases, where the old form was preserved — had only
to receive the final consent of the Lords, Then the Government
that had accomplished this great task, and successively bi-aved
so many dangers, met its fate. Mr. Childers's Budget was the
ostensible cause of the fall of the Gladstone Ministry. Excep-
tion was strongly taken in the House of Commons, and outside
it, to tlie proposals of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to in-
crease the beer and spirit duties. The opposition was strong ;
the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer made some concessions, but
not enough, and the opposition was kept up. It did not seem to
be a matter in which the fate of the Ministry was likely to be
involved ; but whisky was destined to prove as deadly to Mr.
Gladstone's Government as water had proved to the Adminis-
tration of Lord Beaconsfield. On Monday, June 8, a crowded
House had listened to the long-drawn conclusion of the debate
on the disputed point. To the general surprise of the House,
two speeches — one by Sir Chai'les Dilke, and one by Mr.
Gladstone — converted the debatable matter into a Cabinet
question. Even then, at that eleventh hour, the House had
no idea of what was about to happen.

The present Parliament has been fruitful in scenes of all
kinds, but it has never witnessed a more striking or more
startling scene than that which hailed the fall of the Gladstone
Government. Cui-iously enough, up to the last moment there
was practically no impression in the House that the Govern-
ment were going to be defeated. Sanguine members of the
Opposition showed by ingenious tabulation of figures that the
Government would only have a majority of some five or six,
and would therefore suflTer a moral defeat. Hopeful Minis-
terialists, on the other hand, demonstrated that the Government
could count upon a safe majority of twenty-seven to thirty. It



THE FALL OF THE ABMINISTBATION. 353

was only when the division was well-nigh over, and the benches
had pretty well filled, that any inkling of what was about to
happen dawned upon the Senate. The keen eye of one well-
known Conservative suddenly discovered that the men from the
" Aye " lobby were almost all in, while the " No " lobby was still
pouring a steady stream of members into the House. On the
Treasury bench one or two of the younger and less experienced
members were observed casting anxious glances towards the
door through which the followers of the Ministry were making
their way back to their places. Rumour ran rapidly along the
Conservative benches that the Government would have next
to no majority — would have no majority at all — would be in a
minority. Lord Kensington came in hurriedly, with a face
set into determined absence of expression, and sat down by
Mr. Gladstone. A few moments more, and the paper was
handed to Mr. Winn amid the loudest outbreak of cheerina:
that the House of Commons has heard for more than a genera-
tion. Wild with delight, Lord Randolph Churchill actually
leapt on to the bench, waving his hat with the enthusiasm of a
schoolboy. His friends clustered round him, caught at him,
drew him down, but could not restrain him from the vehement
expression of his delight. The example was contagious. .The
whole House to the left of Mr. Speaker roared and shouted,
and thundered, and waved its hats, and clapped its hands in a
frenzy of genuine delight. Their hour at last had come, and
the fate of the Ministry was sealed.

Mr. Gladstone immediately rose. For some seconds it was
useless for him to attempt to speak, so long and loud were the
triumphant cheers and cries of his opponents. When at length
he was suffered to speak, he announced that in consequence of
the vote that had just been given it would be necessary for the
Ministry to consider their position, and he accordingly moved
the adjournment of the House. The next day he informed the
House that he had placed his resignation in the hands of the
Queen. Then followed an interregnum of odd uncertainty.
Mr. Gladstone had gone out, but it was by no means certain
that the Conservatives would come in. There were many

among the Opposition who strongly disliked the idea of their
party coming into office under such conditions. The Queen
sent for Lord Salisbury. For a few days it seemed uncertain
whether Loi'd Salisbury would accept the difficult trust. There
were troubles to contend with in his own party as well as
outside it. Lord Randolph Churchill was known to have a
strong objection to the ' old gang,' as he irreverently styled
the time-honoured and somewhat slow-going politicians of the
Opposition front bench. Lord Randolph desired to see younger
men of the party given some opportunity of distinguishing
themselves. This was one difficulty. Another was the ques-
tion of coercion. That was a question Mr. Gladstone's Govern-
ment would have had to deal with almost immediately if they
had remained in office. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles
Dilke were known to be strongly opposed to any further
coercive legislation, and it is probable that the Ministry would
have gone to pieces over coercion if it had not tripped over the
Budget. Among the Conservatives, too, opinions differed on
the coercion question. Lord Randolph Churchill was not an
advocate of coercive legislation. These and the obvious dis-
comfort of accepting office with a minority for a time disturbed
the Conservative councils. For some days all was suspense.
Active negotiations were carried on between Lord Salisbury
and Mr. Gladstone, between Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph
Churchill. The situation was epigrammatically expressed by
Mr. Gibson. ' For a fortnight,' Mr. Gibson declared, ' the
Liberals were in a state of suspended animation and the Con-
servatives in a state of animated suspense.' At last a definite
conclusion was arrived at. Lord Salisbury accepted office,
after allowing Loi-d Randolph Churchill to have well-nigh his
own way in the composition of the new Cabinet. On Wednes-
day, June 24, 1885, the two parties changed sides in the House
of Commons, and Mr. Gladstone addressed the chamber from
the front Opposition bench. Mr. Rowland Winn moved for
most of the new writs for the i^e-election of the new Ministers.
After a stormy existence of a little more than five years, the
Gladstone Administration had come to an end.
