POLITICS ON THE BRAIN.
Reading edition
Everybody now has got politics on the brain. We dream of politics and we almost drink politics—at least, we have been drinking politics to-night. So far as I am concerned, I should like, Rip Van Winkle-like, to go to sleep for the next two months and wake up to find the general election over; only then I should like to wake up to find it had gone the right way.
Farmers' Dinner, Bassaleg, October 13th, 1885.
