Notes and Events.
As Mr Balfour passed through Huddersfield Station on his way from Manchester to Leeds, he ' got off ' a clever quiet hit at Mr Gladstone. An immense crowd was on the platform, to whom, iv declining a request for a speech, Mr Balfour said : Gentlemen, under other oircumstances I should be very pleased indeed to address you, but neither in this nor in any other particular am I anxious to imitate the methods of a very distinguished statesman — (laughter)— whose habitual methods of electioneering consists in inconveniencing the officials and the public who desire to travel in the same trains with him.
