Disappointed by the outcome, he wrote two articles, “Rival Cities” and “The Alderman in Art,” attacking the influence of politicians and merchants on artistic questions and proposing a credentialed Director of Fine Arts to administer public funds for art. When the directorate of the National Gallery was publicly discussed in 1893, he nominated himself, again unsuccessfully; see “The National Gallery” in the Speaker (2 September 1893).
