PUBLIC kEETINO OF LIBERALS.

A public meeting was held in the National School-
room, Wyke, on Friday evening in connection with
the South I kweet Liberal Association in eupport of the
candidature of Mr. 11. P. Sturgis, the Liberal climb-
date for the division. The chair was occupied by Mr.
H. Pete, of Fleet House. There were also present—.
Mr. H. P. Sturgis, Mr. J. Howard Bowen,
Mr. J. Brown, Mr. Rolls, and Mr. Burch,
each from Weytnonth. Several Tories were elm
iwesent, and repeated attempts were made to
interrupt the pneeedings, but the unanimity of the
Liierals was too great.
Th.. CHAIRMAN said that as a near neighbour be had
been asked to )(reside at that meeting, and through
harmony with Mr. Sturgis's winciples, and owing to
appreciation of his personal cftaractee he felt he could
not refuse the invitation. (Hear, hear,) One of the
greatest advantage* Mr. (Sturgis poesessed was that
like Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Bright he had had a
thoroughly good business training, lie did nos di..
put.' the business capacity of Colonel Hainbro, but
etated that Mr. Sturgia's political principled made
him more fit to represent this constituency. So much
might be said in respect to him personally. What
was more important was his political principles. He
wished to call the attention of his leareni to the Arts
which had been pans.' by the Liberal Oovernment.
Trade had been freed from its shackle., religion made
free from test...and an Act passed conferring the franchise
upon agriculturirts. (Applainied He repudiated the
cry which had been raised aguinst the Liberals to
the effect that they would upset the Church and the
House of Lords. He ventured to prophecy that Mr.
Midstone would azain be their premier. (Cheers,
and a few hisses.) They had (eir things sketched out
for their iirogremine which would be sufficient for
one Parliament. newt included land reform,
procedure, registration, tr.. Ile denounced repro.
aentsitions which had been made to the effect that Mr.
Chemberlein'e principlee in reepoct to land were
im peruaals of his speeches proved. The
Liberals hail been accused./ telling thumping 16Pa."
lie (Mr. Pet.) would not accuse the Conservatlee
party of telling "thumping lies," but he hoped r.
Htuniga would have a good thumping majority at the
election. (Cheers.)
Hr. H. P. Secinini, who we.. very cordially received,
said he had lawn told that at Wy.kn he would nit be
welcomed with the same unanimity sinil enthusiasm
as he hal had at other meetings which he had ad-
dressed. He did not mind that very much, but whet
h. had awn of the people of Dorset led him to believe
they would at all ergots pee him a fair hearing.
(A Voice Englishmen always will.) lit. Sturgis
replied that that was why be thought
they were I.:nglishmen. (Cheers.) Ho Inr,tt,l ho
had not teen able to cell upon all the electors
individually, for he considered any man who emue
forward with the hope of representing the electors .1
