Morng Chronicle 18 Jun 1817
Meeting at the Free Mason Tavern W. Lucas Esq. in the Chair
Mr Walkman
"I myself declare, that
though I have never
gone to the extreme of
universal suffrage &
annual elections, I am
still and ever shall be
willing to give the advocates
of those views the
fullest credit for their
sincerity and zeal –
Some amongst them
have done the greatest
good to the popular cause
by ability & application
in their writings to
enlighten the public
mind. Could we attain
triennial elections,
and a full comprehensive
extension
of franchises
to the people, it would
be in my judgment
a reform competent
to guarantee to the
nation a strict an
and unceasing controul
over the Executive."
Right Honorable John Philpot Curran
"I am not for giving
"votes to the beggars on
"the bridge, nor for the
"constant rout of annual
"Parliaments,
"but for a substantive
"representation of
"the people."
