brX)AL OPTION. —A meeting was held in the Town
Kau on Friday evening, presumably under the
awipioes of the local Liberal Association, at which it
was stated Mr. W. O. Amery would introduce tor
discuss on the subject of '' Local Optio .—a plank in
the Liberal platform rand move a resolutionthereon.
The meeting was fairly well attended, but it soon
became evident the local optionists were in a mi.
nority, and the resolution pledging the Association
only to support a candidate favourable to the Alliance
scheme was withdrawn, as was also an amendment
moved by Mr. Brennan& who repudiated the idea
that the theoretical fads and crotchets of individual
members should be aii ed to the detriment of the
Liberal cause in the county. Still such is the way
of some folks in coining into • neighbourhood and
trying to upset all existing arrangements before they
know the local feeling on any subject.

FORMATION OF A NORTH DORSET LIBERAL
ABBOCIATION.

Over 50 delegates from local Liberal Associations
assembled in the Town Hall Blandford, on Friday,
to form a lliiisional Association. It WAS a capital
representative assembly, including peers, landed
gentlemen, farmers, clergymen, and labounng men.
The proceedings were of • somewhat protracted
character, and lasted nearly three hours; but, mainly
owiag to the tact and conciliatory conduct of the
Chairman, Lord Wolverton the result was •
unanimous vote and the expression of a sturdy and
honest determination to sink m wird iffi.rencssand unite,
as was well put by the Chairmen, in support of Mr.
Gladstone against Lord Salisbury. Tbe usual fertile
subject of discussion, the settlement of the rules wee
quietly agreed on, the oaly alteration made in the
printed rules being the scale of representatives to the
divisional council which was fixed at one for every 25
members of a local association. The following oaken
were elected .—President, Lord Wolverton; Vice-
Presidents, lion. W. H. B. Portman, J. Mama.
