the Conservative seat, and shall I fas-1 It my duty to give the
electors of Warehatn the opportunity of show WI; that they are
free to elSet their own representative, and that they will not
have one forced upon them ".-(applause).
I say hi acting as I hare done I have acted unselfishly and MI
an Kogliahuutn-(applautie)- and I am sure you will feel I have
actol as a true (k.itsereative-(applause.) I am ready to
saeriflo, myvell for the good of the canoe ; lan, ready to retire
If I felt that a majority of %on wished that I should it, so ; or,
nn the other hand, I an ready to stand In the position I have
assumed, and to izo to the isdi and take your opioinn there
-(eheuro) Tou fully understand the base, and have the
power to indicate jour opinions under the Ballot freely and
unfettered. If you, Conservatives, of Wareham, really feel in
your hearts that I should make you a better representative
than Mr. Drax It is hl your power to elect me in +pito of the
leaders of the party -(amlause)-and without the slightest fear
of Injury accruing toyourselves for it hereafter. I have been often
told in sly canvass by many Occtors, :Imre particularly in the
outlying distrieks-for in Narabani I Wiese you have always
had the reputation of hang tolerably independent, and I don't
think any here ...chi stand dictation from any one -that they
would like to vote for me, but that they are afraid. I have
endeavoured to explain that under the ballot all may vote .
Just as they please. Satisfy yourselves .4 two thin;„fs- :
first, that you arc perfectly free to form your own judg-
ment and act upon it ; mint second, that even if Mr.
Drax lbws stand, you can still retorts the mao of your choice
by a triumphant nuelority. and I feel I have 11,1 ocol to ask for
your votes - liej ...radon to canvass you -(applause). I quits,
agree with Mr. Wax in that respect, because I feel that thu
imbue Is one entirely for yoursehea 1,, deeide without pressure
or Induenee id any kind. It is customary,,,, these 01:a1a1,01/1
to submit • resolution eaprvisive of confidence in the candidate
and pludgnor the meeting t., use their Ltat, efforts f. .r his
return, but I an, happy to that to day my ',aunts-
lion japer has been fully cizned, and that I think I may take
as an talltllasioll of opinion that I NM worthy to he a candidne,
and I have the matter in your hands -(applaus,..) coueida
the claims .4 the respective C.Odit.ll.llll, and, having dnite that,
all I ask of you is that you will send the hod man to Parlia-
ment - (cheers.. I shall be lappy to answer any question that
slay he hut to toe. After a Taltlalt, MS HO inquiry was made, the
hon. candidate thanked the audietun for their candid and
imparUal hearing', he was very much obliged to them. O/11h
shoukl they elect him as their represcntative, the reception
they bad wen.relod to him that evening would be a great
tll/2111111111 to him to use morn than ordinary exertions in their
behalf - (cheers).
The large :malady then dispersal, but outside they swain
cheered the eloquent candidate.
