There was not a single club bearing the Eadical blue: the Sproxton Club members wore the mazarine, arid Mr. Chubb wore so much of it that he looked (at a sufficient distance) like a very large gentianella. It was generally understood that "these brave fellows, " representing the fine institution of Benefit Clubs, holding aloft the motto, "Let brotherly love continue, " were a civil force calculated t...o encourage voters of sound opinions and keep up their spirits. But a con- siderable number of unadorned heavy navvies, colliers and stone-pit men, who used their freedom as British subjects to be present in Treby on this great occasion, looked like a possible uncivil force whose politics were dubious until it was clearly seen for whom they cheered and for whom they groaned. ^ Thus the way up to the polling-booths was variously lined, and those who walked it, to whatever side they belonged, had the advantage of hearing from the opposite side what were the most marked defects or excesses in their personal appearance; for the Trebians of that day held, without being aware that they had Cicero's authority for it, that the bodily blemishes of an opponent were a legitimate ground for ridicule; but if the- voter frustrated wit by being handsome, he was groaned at and satirized according to a formula, in which the adjective was Tory, Whig, or Radical, as the case might be, and the substan- tive a blank to be filled up after the taste of the speaker.
