OPENING OF A LIBERAL
CLUB.

Mr. if Bougie M.P. for South Dorset, visited
Weymouth on Wednesday for the purpew of opening
the new Liberal Club which lam recently been started
in St. Thomas-street, under promising auspices. The
premium, however, which it is expected will be only
the temporary home of the club, not being large
enough for a public meeting of the Liberals of the
town, it was decided that they should be invited to
inset at Cooke'. Rooms, Augusta-place, at seven
o'clock, vrhiin the rantnimr for the division was
announced to preside end to declare the club opened.
There was a ninnerons attendance of the Liberals of
the town, and also several well-known members of the
party from the villages inclwleel in the Weymouth
district.

Mr. &cents, M.P., who was enthusiastically
cheered, said he w.si very glad to be present, but he
did not know that he was to take the chair, or that
he hail been elected presideut of the now club. (Ap-
plause.) He 1141 very glad to prixside, and he
accepted with much gratitude the honour which had
been conferred upon him in making him the first
president of the Weymouth Isib ?al Clots. (.%pplaiise.)
He then called upon
Mr. A. Droria, secretary iii the club, who male a
short statement, explaining its origin. Ile said that
alter the splendid clam y at the last electi.m--(cheers)
--some of the bolder spirits of the party thought they
ought to try to rinvert a majiwity .4 tem into one of
hiindreda. (Applause.) They were emboldened to
take up a p elation which they thim.cht could no:
Is overturned by their politicsl adverearies,
and they net themselves the task ol further
educating the constituency. (Applause.) They
hail had that education in view as one
of their inain objects, lie them referred to the amive
part which hail been taken in the movement by .Ir.
Bowen and .Ir. Councillor Brown, and to the impetus
given to it at the dinner held at the Benton Hotel
sin./ the electi.m. fie explained that premises had
been secured in St. Thomas street, which Mr. Sturgis
had done them the honour to coin- down and "p.m
that .1 iy. (.Applause.) T...1-hing briefly upon lb"
great political quesitions of the hour, Mr. Dennis said
that iiotwitluitanding all the differences of opinion
which existed upon it, he thought it would not be
much .cut .4 Owe at that meeting of the Liberals of
%Veymeith if they gave threw hearty cheers for the
Premier —that great and jgood man who was en.
ileavoliring to do justice to Ireland. and at the MM.
time to secure the integrity .4 the Empire. (Loud
sheers.)

Mr. Sriotois, who was again loudly appbilidisd, then
deli vered • long and able ',leech, which was repeatedly
cheered. He mid he had been eeked to say a few
wools that night, awl he WWI very glad to do on. Ile
thought it red-cod ;nut credit upon the promoters
.4 the chili that they had taken the mettee in hand.
A. Mr. Comas 1,4/1 stated it WWI but It small beginn•
nig, but he holed it would hebotisli the ' nui.leus .4

a great advancer... as they liad the merit .4 bringing
people together to exprem their doubts and LO thraeli
'natters out, for thee gained more by thinking for
themselves than by listening to him or by reading the
newspapers. Such clubs were especially important
, now that the Liberal party was *toy much split tip,

direct attention to what (awl Harlington, MG
Unachen, and Mr. Chamberlain said, and they were
very fond of Mr. Chamberlain. (Laughter.) He
erpreeeel the hope that the (Merano' between mom•
hers of the Liberal party would won pow away, and
that they would all agree again, shake hank and
join them reforms upon which they were now agreed.
(Applause.) The Tories tried to make out that the
man wh ,did not agree with the Government policy
with regard to Ireland was no longer • Liberal, but
he asked them to remember that thous gentlemen who
differed from them were members nf the Lawry' party.
The hon. member then read and criticised wine
