WyndhamGeorgeBorn in 1863. He has Irish blood in his veins, and is a descendant of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. He joined the Coldstream Gds. when just out of his teens, and saw active service before he was twenty-two in the Suakin Expedition, gaining the medal and star. At the age of twenty-four he became Private Secretary to Mr Balfour when he was Chief Secretary for Ireland. In the following year he entered the House of Commons as member for Dover, which seat he has held ever since. Parliament was ready to greet this new representative of a race of politicians, but Mr Wvndham was not an early success. His opportunity soon came, however. His talents received recognition, and in 1898 he became Under-Secretary for War, an unenviable office which he held during the Boer War, in the course of which he had so often to justify the blunders of his department before an angry House. In 1902 at the early age of thirty-nine, he entered the Cabinet as Chief Secretary, for Ireland. Himself of Irish descent, with strong sympathies for the people, he was anxious to render Ireland contented and prosperous. With that object in view, in 1902 he approached a distinguished Indian civilian of pronounced Nationalist leanings, Sir Antony MacDonnell, who temporarily accepted the office of Under-Secretary on the understanding that he was to maintain order, solve the land question by voluntary purchase, settle the education question on Mr Balfour's lines, and generally pursue a policy of material improvement and administrative conciliation. The situation was thus a very peculiar one. The Under-Secretary practically dictated the policy, and was granted greater freedom of action and greater opportunities of initiative than fall to the ordinary subordinate official. The outcome of the policy was Lord Dunraven's Devolution Scheme, in the preparation of which Sir Antony had taken an active part. This was practically Home Rule in disguise, and had to be repudiated by Mr Wyndham, who had allowed himself to be nominally responsible for an impossible situation. He had apparently let the control of affairs in his department slip from his hands, and become the mere shield of a subordinate who carried out his own interpretation of an impossible agreement. The climax was reached in March, 1905, when Mr Wyndham, being of the opinion that the controversy which his action had given rise to had greatly impaired, if not wholly destroyed, the value of the work which he had to do in the office that he had so long held, he resigned the Chief Secretaryship.Coldstream Guards
