Untitled extract from newspaper article in the [Edinburgh Evening Dispatch]

Extract from an article in the [Edinburgh Evening Dispatch] detailing the negotiations between the British Government and the Boers over the franchise [of the Outlanders [Uitlanders]in the Transvaal], condemning the attitude of the Liberal party's leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, prime minister, over his refusal to support British military deployments in South Africa. It also notes that [John] Morley, politician and writer, and [Leonard] Courtney, journalist and politician, wish to see the Boers implement reform in the Transvaal, and wonders whether William Harcourt, politician, due to address his constituents that evening, will agree with Morley and Campbell-Bannerman [in objecting to] any military preparation and armed intervention [in South Africa], lamenting the change this represents in British Liberalism.
