Lord 11041(10p . abed sat. in parliament
for • several yearunnoticed, When, in
'May, 1880, he appeared as the leader of
a fourth party. There were only three
other members of it, but they were all
•able men. and they contributed so much
to the downfall of the Gladstone mines
-
-try in 1885 that their" leader was taken
into the conservative •cabiritit as secret
tory of state for, India. Lord Randolph
so distinguistied himself in that office
ethat in the new ministry of 1886 he was
felt, to have won his priernotion to the
. pOst of -chancellor of the exchequer and
leader of the house of commons. In five
Inonths he resigaed, and never again
took a preminent part in the affairs of
