After the successful Conservative campaign of 1841, J. W. Croker said in a letter to Peel, " The elections are wonderful, and the curiosity is that all turns on the name of Sir Robert Peel.
' It's the first time that I remember in our history that the people have chosen the first Minister for the Sovereign.
Mr. Pitt's case in ' 84 is the nearest analogy ; but then the people only confirmed the Sovereign's choice ; here every Conservative candidate professed himself in plain words to be Sir Robert Peel's man, and on that ground was elected.
