Mr. Hanooce, responding, said he had been con-

with the Interests of the sitarenolden. He could oaly
say on his behalf it was quite likely that at the next
meeting they would be able to go over the original
railway to hold it at Abbotsbury. (Hess, bear)

important item on the agenda—to select a candidate
for. the division —a ',retest was presented by the
Sherborne delegates, who had been instructed to
object to toe selection of a candidate without
previous reference to their association This
led to some rather strong observations on the
impropriety of binding delegates to& particular line of
action The Chairmsn said he was able to inform
them that Mr. Portman had deinitely determined
not again to present himself to • constituency. The
need of immediate action, with a Conservative candi-
date already in the field was admitted generally and
a proposal to postpone the selection for a week met ,
with little favour or support. Two names were than
mentioned as those of gentlemen who would make
eligible candidates if they would stand (about which
Viere were some cautions uttered ~ the Hon Cecil
Ashley son of the Earl of Shafteebury, and the Hon.
Edwin Portman, next brother to the present member.
Mr. J. Bw-inhume Hanhain s name was also discussed
but that gentleman in a modest speech said although
his name bad been mentioned in connection with the
representation of the county, he had never offeeed
himself, and he would beg his friends to re-consider
' the idea of a candidature on his part. The Chairman
very warmly congratulated Mr. Hanha n on the
course he had taken His tine, would coins, butt was
not yet. The necessity of a candidate with a well-
known county name wet declared, and the majority
of the meeting endorsed it. It was urged that the
selection, to give it strength and weight, should be
unanimous. and in the end it was determined to invite
the Hon. Cecil Ashley to stand for the county, to
meet the Executive. and failing him, to make the
same invitation to the Hon. Edwin Portman.
