Excerpt from John Stuart Mill: His Life and Works
That candidature will be long remembered as a notable example of the dignified way in which an honest man, and one who was as much a philosopher in practice as in theory, can do all that is needful, and avoid all that is unworthy, in an excited electioneering contest, and sub mit without injury to the insults of political opponents and of political time-servers professing to be of his own way of thinking. The result of the election was a far greater honor to the electors who chose him than to the representative whom they chose3 though that honor was greatly tarnished by Mr. Mill's rejection when he offered himself for re-election three years later.
