(_A BALLAD OF BIRMINGHAM._)
["You will not find an alliance in which the weaker side has
been so loyal, so straight, so single-hearted, so patriotic
as the Liberal Unionists have been during the last five
years.... Birmingham is the centre, the consecration of this
alliance."--_Lord Salisbury at Birmingham._
"Now I neither look for nor desire reunion" (with the
Gladstonian Liberals.)--_Mr. Chamberlain at Birmingham._]
