The Real Ugly Rush, 1859
The Real Ugly Rush, 1859. When Disraeli introduced his Reform Bill to the House, it caused trouble for his own party even before its defeat brought the Government down. Mr Henley and Mr Walpole were both seasoned politicians - in fact Walpole was Home Secretary. Both men retired from the Derby ministry in protest at the Bills introduction. Mr Henley predicted that there would be an ugly rush on the part of the People should there now be any reduction in the proposed extension of the franchise. The phrase was used in a parliamentary sense by Mr Punch who said that the real ugly rush would be that of the rival parties and politicians for the Treasury Bench. This cartoon shows a Keystone Cops scene of various key political figures jammed in a doorway, jostling and pushing to be the first one through. At the front are John Bright with the eyeglass, the tiny Lord Russell and the smooth Palmerston. Behind can be seen Lord Derbys crown and, on the right, Disraeli trying to squirm through. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 30, 1859

The Real Ugly Rush, 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the political turmoil surrounding Benjamin Disraeli's Reform Bill in the House of Commons. The introduction of this bill not only caused trouble within Disraeli's own party but also ultimately led to the downfall of the government. Seasoned politicians Mr Henley and Mr Walpole, both respected figures in their own right, retired from the Derby ministry in protest against the proposed extension of franchise. In this cartoon-like depiction, we witness a chaotic scene reminiscent of Keystone Cops as various key political figures find themselves jammed in a doorway. Pushing and jostling to be at the forefront are notable personalities such as John Bright with his eyeglass, Lord Russell standing tall despite his diminutive stature, and Palmerston exuding an air of smoothness. Amongst them can be seen Lord Derby's crown symbolizing power while Disraeli attempts to navigate through the commotion. The phrase "the real ugly rush" was coined by Mr Punch who predicted that rival parties and politicians would scramble for power once it became available. This artwork serves as a visual representation of that prediction, showcasing how ambition and competition drive these influential individuals towards securing positions on what is referred to as the Treasury Bench. This historical photograph provides us with insight into a significant moment in British politics where personal interests clashed with national reform aspirations. It reminds us that even seasoned politicians are not immune to heated debates and power struggles within their own ranks.
