Metropolitan Boroughs election sketches: "Whig" and "Tory", 1874. Voting in London. 'The leisure of street-loungers was beguiled with a variety of diversions. One was exhibited at Greenwich, in a mild sort of dog-fight between two arrant curs, which bore on their collars the labels of "Whig" and "Tory," and the bystanders were much edified by this practical lesson, intended to show that the indulgence of party spite has a ridiculous and odious aspect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
