---

'Launce and his Dog', 1885. The little dog is Lord Randolph Churchill, the Conservative head of a group known as the Fourth Party. He had long been an embarrassment to the party elders, but recently he had seemed to become even more vituperative than before. Sir Stafford Northcote, the Conservatives Leader in the Commons, is Launce. From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 23, 1885.
