SERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The annuli dinner of this association was h-id
on Monday evening at Cooksey's Hotel, Old Hill.
About 120 gentlemen sat down to an excellently-
served repast. The chair was taken by Mr. G. 11.
Best, the vice-chair by Dr. H. R Ker. There were
also present Messrs. W. Bassano, W. G. Walk
J. Walker, Alderman Bagott, J. M. Brindley
(Birmingham), W. Barton (Birmingham), S. J .
Carpmail, W. P. Strawson, Underwood, Williams,
Sari!!, Plant, Coley, Penn, Wright. Whitehouse,
Mead, Caldicott, Cartwright, Horton, E. Shaw
(honorary secretary), and others.
The Chairman proposed the usal loyal toasts,
heh were duly honoured.
Mr. W. BASS 'no, in proposing "Churc:: and
State," reminded his audience that the party ‘,.''.l:ch
so pe sistently claim to be the party of the country,
which, when in power, Lad succeeded in disestab.
lishing one great limb of the Church, and would
use its utmost endeavour to educate the country
into tie mind for disestablishing the other. It was
a partyVwhich did not hesitate to say that the
association of religion with the nation was wrong;
tthat religion Should be left to take care of itself. He
thought the nation which ignored religion could
expect no blessing—(applause).
Ker resp mded. He thought that the true
basis on which the Church and State should exist
might be found in the words of Lord Eldon, who
said the union was not for the purpose of making
the Church political but the State religious. The
discs a blishment of the Irish Church was the cause
of the fall of Mr. Gladstone. The country resented
the act, and the union of Church and State in
England was more firmly established than ever
under Lord Beaconsfield—(applause).
Mr. J. M. Brinclley then proposed the toast of
the evening—" Success to the Conservative cause."
He said the toast was one which at the present
moment demanded a far greater power and higher
I eloquence than he was gifted with to set forth its
barest merits. It was the cause of the people, proved
by the fact that their feelings were in harmony
with the policy of the Government, which had
been so emphatically and unmistakably endorsed
by the popular votes of Liverpool and Southwark—
(applause), The evidence of history showed them
that the aim of the party bad ever been to secure
the best Government, frame the most useful laws
extend the commerce of the nation, and increase
the foreign prestige of England by upholding the
honour and dignity of the nation abroad. Lord
Beaconsfield wasthe only English statesmen worthy
to carry out such a policy. He (the speaker) be-
lieved that the Eastern Question had at its root
the commercial welfare of the nation. To keep the
realms we had won in India, to preserve to England
the trade of the East—all the lines of Eastern
pol:cy had this object —(applause). Lord Beacons-
field, in the plan for the government of Afghanistan,
had placed a barrier beyond his " scientific fron-
tier t 3 the advance of Russia—(applause). He
had done more; he had opened up Central Asia to
English enterprise. He had the same policy in view
when he secured the Portectorate over Asia Minor
and the possession of Cyprus--(Applause)—when
he secured the Suez Canal shares and the waterway
to India—(applause). The statesman who had
framed the plan should be the one to early it to a
triumphant issue--(applause).
Alderman B igott responded. He congratulated
the members of the association on their large meet-
ing and on the progress of the patty in the neigh.
bourhood. Dudley was thoroughly prepared t
support Mr. Henderson, who knew the requirements •
of the borough and understood the wants of the
working people.
Mr. Underwood proposed "The Visitors," which
was responded to by
Mr. Barton (Birmingham), who congratulated
the district on the recent School Board victory at
Kings winford. He re"ared the result as an augury
of success for Dudley borough, as this portion had
• always been the Liberal stronghold. The Liberals
last year made a great outcry for dissolution, but
this had suddenly ceased. The Liberals had
perhaps recognised the fact that they must win
eighty-six seats to secure a majority. He had
looked through the constituencies, and did not see
where they were going to turn out, a single Con-
servative—(applause). He believed the Govern-
ment would return to power with an increased
majority—(applause).
Mr. Caapmaal also responded.
"The Chairman and Vice-Chairman' was pro-
posed by Mr. Strawson, and sutitable acknow-
ledged.
