Mr John Bull, the representative of the British people, is on a boat being sailed by the new Conservative Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury. He had been given an unexpected opportunity to form a government after the resignation of the Liberals following their Budget defeat. However, it was soon apparent that the new administration intended to follow in the footsteps of the previous administration quite closely and for as long as possible. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 11, 1885.
