Tories to skive them they will be driven to certain
destruction. (Applause.) Not only was he speaking
of this in Dorchester' but these utterances are being
made in every part of the United Kingdom, and he
did hope and trust the day is now come when the
people will no longer believe in thia than glory and
shun gunpowder, but believe instead that every man
and every Government most be judged by the sots
they have committed. Everyone of them who are not
prejudiced he asked to show one single kind charitable
act performed by the Tories for the working men.
Let anyone say so. (Voioe "Gladstone for ever.")
He quite agreed with that on; j Lord Beasooadield said
that Mr. Gladstone produced so many acts that he
meddled and muddied, but Lard Beaconsfield had
produced no acts worth mentioning at all. What was
the object of giving the Queen the title of " Empress
of India?" Our friend tbe other night told us the
Indian people never wished and never sought such an
empty title, and do not even know what it moans.
(Voice "He wanted a handle to his own name; he
wsnted to be an earl.") But what greater title
can there be than the old one, namely, that
title we believe in and love "the Queen of
England?" (Gilmore for the gam.) Why! do we
want any sham Jewish or other titles, that 11.1111111
Ilk. Lord Beaconsfield from his Oriental origin,
perhaps, wishes to put upon us? (No.) We are not
going to put up with humbug. When Mr.
tOlidow was in power be did not want to rat
silly titlee on the Queen of England; when Mr.
Gladstone was in power, he did not think it necessary
to quarrel with • Nizbarons people like the Zulus, nor
to attack the Afghans. (Hear.) Mr. Brym.r says
the Afghan War is now happily terminaW—(Voice
"That lithe third time 'twos to be finithed")—but
ocitlatur-day we learn of • new attack.—(A burst of
had arisen at the mention of Mr. Rrymer's
mime, which still continued, and in the midst we
heard something about" Heidi not go to the allotment,
tome the people there ;" "hole too proud." " He is
more an enemy than • friend," and" Homiest go with
his mother.")—Captain Greville remarked no doubt
that lady was a good woman; but., turning to the
reforms to Mr. Brymer, he asked where he was? No
doubt he was staying with his rabbits. (Laughter.)
No doubt when the election is over there will be
pi at) of rabbits in the town. (Laughter, and "You
mean skins, gr.') He had never had the pleasure of
essing Mr. Brynier'e estate, but was t dri that the
quantity of rabbits there is something marvellous.
(Voice: "You ought to go to L ,ndon if you want te
sae them," "Co-operative Stara," and "He's got
snore keepers than rabbits." Captain Greville said—
then he must have a large population. But he wished
to say nothing to hurt the feelings of Mr. Brymer, of
Hr. Brymer's family, or of Mr. Brymer's rabbits—
(laughter)---because he was quite sure from what he
had seen that Mr. Brymer will have to console him-
self with his own rabbits on Friday night—(laughter)
—And to recommended Mr. Brymer when he is having
his dinner to put panty of onion sauce with his
boiled rabbits. (Laugbt,r.) He bad ek,ltined very

he should have the honour again of addressing them

speech to-day of Lord Hartington, whom he looked to
as the lender of the Liberal party. Lord Hartington
Is • man of sound English sense, who has behaved in
the most plucky manner possible, bemuse he is going
to fight • seat in the North, in Lancashire, and in the
North politics run very high; and if their friend Mr.
Cress—but no, he was no friend of theirs—did n.
take care he would be drowned in the water-bucket.
, Lord Hartington told something about the island of
' Cyprus. lie says that anybody who will take the
trouble to lo' k at maps will see that in the Archi-
pelago, in that part of the Mediterranean sea, are
any quantity of islands, and Wands much nearer
Turkey, end much nearer Egypt than Cyprus, and
why the Government should pitch upon such an
island as Cyprus he could not understand. The
speaker happened to have been eight or tee years ago
there, and it certainly is for three months in the year
a very pretty and healthy islandl but the remaining
nine months nobody can possibly live there brit the
natives, and it had been for our soldiers nothing but
• gigantic hospital, an I whatever the Government
sent out soldiers for, to that place), he did not know.
Lord Beaconsfield said that in the conned years that
island shall have • magnificent harbour—(Voioss :
"Another great expense for us") --ships of war shall
go into that harbour, it shall be a great depot for the
Mediterranean. But that harbour has never been
made, and for all intents and purposes the island
might is well belong to Turkey. But the bland of
Cyprus does not even belong to us ; we pay £lOO,OOO
• year for the use of it. (Voice • "it is not worth it.")
We have Gibraltar, which commands the month of
the Mediterranean, and Malts near the middle—both
these nieces are admirable in every way for our use,
and he hoped they will always ours. So there
as no occasion in the first for England to take
this pestilential island: the second place, it is of no
use; end in the third place, it doge net bel
to iv,. (Voice "They hire the soldiers to send
them out end kill them.") And what about Lord
Beaconsfield's cats? (lntsrruption.) He saw the
whole town of Wey mouth placarded with bills about
the cat, so that other people are thinking of it besides
ourselves. (Voice: What about the 10.000 Indian
troop.?) What was the object of having those 10,000
Indian troops to Malta ? Did Lord Beaconsfield
expect to frighten Russia? It was like taking a stick
putting a sheet on it, holding it out to a child, and
saying 'There is a ghost." (laughter and " Why
didn't they bring there to Aldershot?) He wars afraid
it would have been too cold for them. Lord Beacons-
field never considered the expelse of bringing them
over; this was one of his expedients • they all cost

Another elf wt to re Ince the debt on Holy Trinity
Church was made on Tuesday evening last, when •
programme of vocal and instrumental music, a grand
debate, a stump oration, and one of Mr. Morgan's
inimitable musical sketches, made up a capital bill of
fare. So full was it that the Rev. H. Everett, who
presided, asked the audience not to encore, Mias
Newman and Mr. Morgan played charmingly on the
piano and harmonium, and Mrs. Groves with her
harp joined in eel/sauna from Mozart and Rossini,
thus with Mr. Morgan, aff .rding great pleasure to
the connoisseur. Among the singers were Miss New-
ass, Miss Keats, Messrs. Morgan, Durden, Fscett,
and Ylford, and they sung very pleasingly songs, duets, •
trio, and • quartett ; and deserve the thanks of those
Interested in Holy Trinity Church, for their great
kimisses. The extraordinary attractions included a
debate on "Axe the Mental Capacities of the Sexes
Equal?" Mr. Elf ord presided and four gentlemen
on each side took part, it being finally
agreed that woman is quite equal to man, and
VVirhater. The stump oration on "Temperance,"
P.sMorgan, was laughter-provoking, the variety
.
Sines raised by this favourite of the people
being about as many as tempt the electors at the
General Election, our friend the Eastern Question
cropping up in a laughable manner. "The juvenile
party," was of course a richly humorous sketch, and
Although Mr. Morgan was the popular favourite
before, we are sure on this occasion everybody was
ready to "Vote for Morgan."

THE ELECTION.
The nomination, unlike former years, passed by
almost unbeeded, notwithstanding the excitement
displayed. The following are the names of the pro-
poems and seconders —Mr. Henry Edwards, proposed
by Mr. E. Bayly, seconded by Dr. Tisard ; Mr.
Alexander Coghill Wylie, proposed by Mr. It. Gaskell,
seconded by Mr. T. Abbott; Sir Frederic Johnstone,
propoed by Mr. J. IL Devenish, seconded by Dr.
Simpson.

AN OBJECTION TO SIR FREDERIC
JOHNSTONE.
At the meeting last night at the Burdon, Mr.
M. James Burns, Mr. Wylie's solicitor, made
the following important announcement
"He had, he said, an important duty to per-
form, and that was to acquaint that meeting
publicly that when Sir Frederic Johnstone's
nomination paper was tendered to the Return-
ing Officer a legal objection was raised against
him. Some of them might be aware there is
now vacant a Scotch Peerage, namely, the
Marquisate of Annandale. By the Treaty of
Union between England and Scotland, it is
provided that no Scotch Peer shall be eligible
for election to • seat in the House of Commons.
Sir Frederic Johnstone is at this moment assert
ing his claim before the House of Lords, to the
vacant hiarquisate, and if he should succeed
in his claim, he will, by the Treaty of Union, be
absolutely disqualified from holding the seat.
By the beach Peerage Law the honour of no
Scotch Peerage is at any time vacant, there is
always some one holding it, and if it should be
proved by Sir Frederic Johnstone that he is
aided to it, then his election will be void, and
all v.itel in his behalf after this announcement
will be so much waste paper !"
SIR FREDERIC JOHNSTONE COME TO
GRIEF.

The following letter has been published lig having
been sent by Sir Frederic to Mr. Parsons. The hon.
baronet's grief has overcome him and he leaves it in
doubt as to who wrote the letter which causes him
such regret whether it was written from the
Tdegran office, or by any of Sir Frederic's agents or
supporters. We hasten to confirm the thought of our
readers that of course the letter was not from the
Tdeirram office; but in the Tettproat appeared •
letter from the Rev. Mr. Hideout, threatening Mr.
Parsons with withdrawal of custom, in these terms.
—"I hope you will withdraw Mr. Wylie'o name from
your shop, or I must withdraw my custom." Here is
Sir Frederic's letter 2--
" Olouoseter Hotel.
"Thursday, March 45th, MO.
" Dear attention has just been called to a
letter in the Telegram I cannot refrain from at once
expressing bow very much I regret that such a letter
should have been written to you All that know me
know that I should wish every man to take as active a
part as he chase for the candidate that represents his
opinion.; and that nothing could be farther from my
wishes than that anyone should presume to dictate to a
voter which side he should take
"I am only grieved that you should have been so
addressed.—Yours faithfully,
"F. JOHNSTONE."

THE SLANDER AGAINST MR. WYLIE.
Mr. Wylie has manfully refuted the cowardly
and deepicable slanders which have been cironlagea
whist him, and in such a feeling manner that he
more than ever, if possible, gained the sympathies
and good feeling of his audience. The room was
crowded to excess, and the proceedings were *atheist.
satin in the extreme. The Rev. Mr. Bolton took the
chair, and there were on the platform—Mr. Wylie's
father (who was warmly received), Mr. and Mrs.
Wylie, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, Mr. M. J. Burns, Mr.
Dennis, and many others. Mr. Wylie's explanation
was a most feeling one, and completely gadded the
audience, the result being, on the motion of Mr. Lim-
ning, it was oarded unaamously "That this meeting,
having heard the manly and straightforward statement
of Mr. A. C. Wylie, daring to regard its firm °pelvic.
Van that he Is a
.gentleman of honour and Integrity,
and, notwithstanding the desperate attempt to bring
discredit upon his candidature, pledges itself to use
every legitimate means to secure his return."
TUESDAY'S MEETING AT THE BURDON,
The Rev. Mr. Bolton, who occupied the chair on
Tuesday night, was right when he said it was the
randeat mop of all," for in vary truth we never
saw such a ering so large, unanimus o, and
enthusiastic as t wae. The platform was crowded with
members of the committee, and friends of Mr. Wylie.
The room was filled to overflowing by an immense
gathering, including many ladies.
As we have stated above, the Rev. E. Some took the
chair, and in his opening remark., wldch were of a very
spirited character, he called on them all to work earnestly
and well to attain their object, via , to return Yr. 11l wards
and Yr. Wylie. (clpplausa) The rev, gentleman was
, loudly applauded for his speech, and indeed he deserves
1 the thanks of all true Liberals for the part he has taken

said: Ladies and gentlemen, I address you hers t"ight

I seek to arJuse your sympathies, whlch so far I seem to
