text_original: Burke ascribes the reason for the failure to the open voting. The electors were obliged, he said, to record their names, and the consequences of an opposition to great corporate and commercial connections were too obvious not to be understood. [Sidenote: 1768  Wilkes as Member for Middlesex] As soon as Wilkes knew of his defeat in the City, he struck a yet bolder note for success.
