The late Lord Randolph Churchill: the Member for Woodstock, 1874, (1895). 'In 1874 he became member for Woodstock at twenty-five, defeating Mr. George C. Brodrick, who is now the Warden of Merton, by 569 against 404 votes. He showed very little promise during his contest of becoming an apt speaker...[and] between 1874 and 1880 did little or nothing. He was young, uneducated, a stormy boyish figure. It was when his party went into Opposition that his chance arrived...he devoted himself to acquiring that sound knowledge of the forms of the House which afterwards served him in good stead...Lord Randolph was Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons when he was thirty-seven years old'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
