Mr. IL OAST Barris then appeared on the
orchestra platform above, and was received with
thuuderin4 applause, and cries of "Go back," front
the Conservatives. He said he appeared in order
that they might do what the Liberals asked them to
di last night, and that was to give each site fair play
im.l a fair hearing. the friends were fighting for the
Liberal interest, and particularly asked them to hear
Lb. other aide. They were not afraid of meeting the
arguments which might be brought forward, but
wanted to hear thus, arguments in order to refute
th.ut at any future meeting. He asked them in
Captain Greville's name, in the name of Liberty
herself, to give Mr. Brymer • fair and patient hear-
ing. Depend upon it they would do their awes a
great deal more harm by the policy they had been
pursuing than by hearing Mx. Brymer, and he adjured
them to hear everything he had to say.
There was then • hush, when a Conservative pro-
posed three cheers for Mr. Batten, but this was
hushed d
Mr. Baum, in the first plane, thanked Mr. Cary
Batten for the very kind manner in which he had
asked them to keel. snows • but let him remind them
of one thing—if he thought whole of this moss of
1.0 'pie were composed of the electors of Dorchester, he
should have very little opinion of Dorchester,
because last night (another outburst) they
gave Captain tireville a patient hearing. There
ware all aides of politics, Cooservatives and Liberals
there; and they gave him • patient hearing, and it
was but fair they should give the other side • bearing.
