proposed that Mr. Rent. gcriven, take the chair.
Otago's?: said he had met some of the quarrymen
and tradesmen of the island. and he should like to hew
their opinions on the subject of the election. This was
the most important meeting of any that had been yet held,
he believed not j voters had pledged themselves, and the
best plan WWI to take up the cause of one of the candidate,
and In what they could for him. Ho should like to we at
least :NO out of the :nil voters go one way on the polling
day, and he himself would go with the majority —(Cries of
"No," and Yes.") There was no eliiTerence in the politics
of the two candidate'; there was "much qf a muckiity
about them, and therefore it was Al personal msttec, and
for the 'denims' to enngider which would do the greatest

Ths Chairman replied he did not think one would at
this late hour.
Voter: There's time enough yet.
Mr. W. WHITE: What about those who are absent?
Only one.fifth of the voters are here.
Mr. W. Arrwoom proposed that the meeUng go for one
man. however, the majority docile.

Thera was some confosion, and the Ilistamin eabi Mr.
Pearce most not try to influence the meeting for or against
either mn.lidate and on this Mr. P. J. Pearce came down
from the platform, but insisted he was in order.
Mr. F. P. Mastwooo mid the nieeting had not to go into
the Individual merits of either, but to take up the cause
of the one who would best look after the interests of
Portland.
A show of hands was taken, and about Oil held up for
supporting one candidate.
Mr. A. W. Orrea suggested a committee to ascertain
the opinions of the electors, and then have another
meeting.
The CHAIRMAN asked if any one had anything to say for
either candidate.
Mr. W. WHITS.. sail Mr. Fowler had been connected with
agrieulturista for 10 years, and did not want anybody to
speak for him.
Dr. Nimes testified to the extreme liLerality and
benevolence of the glighy family at Sherborne.
Mr. J. C. LAN° (chairman of the Local floard)mentioned
the 'imposition to erect a second convict establishment
here, which the Portlandera memorialised against, and it
was stopped. The proposal to make Portland a place for
import and export, would in much good. The Britannia
ship had been remove.? to Dartmouth, and this was a proof
that they wanted some one to look after their interests in
Parliament—(applawie). If Mr. Fowler went, he would go
with one hobby —airricultnre, he was engines to take off
money from the fanners, but there was no knowing c_M
whom it would be put. Captain Rigby, if returned, would

that the meeting put confidence in Capt. Iligby.
Seconded by Mr. SMITH.
Mr. Arrwoott. reminded the voters that they mere free
and independent: it was an utter impossibility for any one
to tell how they voted under the ballot. The niesi were
both wrong for him.: he should like to see a Libentl, in
favmir of Disestablishrnent.
Captain A. SCRIVEN said Mr. Fowler had given them an
Intellectual treat ; he had toll them how to get beef a
penny and twopence a pound cheaper—(laughter). They
ought to be represented by a thorouglidired Englishman,
and none were more respected than the Digby family
