The CeNDIDATS ascended • waggon on the Green, I
accompanied by Mr. Cary Batten, Mr. B. Fosesee

Mr. CART MATree hal Leos asked to preside; but

a hearty reception; but it, eat thong's. that if he came

Liberal priucl ides he held, for this is a fight on which
it is not simpl, a pleasure and honour to be returned,
but in which it is the duty of the Liberals
to join tete 1,e7 for the great Liberal party. As
to gentlemen belonging t the Conservative party, be
hoped some may be induesi to give him their support.
If they would take the trouble to read, they would
see the Liberals had always beuefittel the poor teen.
The Government of which Mr. Gladstone was Prime
Minister, he had the honour to belong to, and every
one of the measures they ',minced will c.mliim t the
welfare of the people of Great Britain. B it, I ;eke.);
at measures of the late Government, coulsi they point
out any thee bad donegood to the pseir man? Gentlemen
who mostly belong to the great c suntry interest and
are Conservative., will naturally produc.i measures to
do themselves good, instead of to the peeple. One
measure the Toriesdid everything they could to prevent
was the passing of the Ballot Act. The Liberals did ir .t
peas it to put themselves into power, bee sue by the
Ballot they were put out, awl the present Government
put In; but Liberals passed it beranse every man in
this country should vote fearlessly and above board,
and when he went into the room an I lot his
CVOS/ to the candidate's ',Arne he ebbed to
support, no living man, woman, or shild
should know how be voted. The obstonti sn offered
by the Tory party lasted throuth two wh, le Parlia-

left 0,000,000 surplus. (Voico : "What haa become
of It? "it has been squ sudered as "Gun-

might well talk of that unhappy prince, Oeteway.,,
and why we went to war with that unhappy barbarian
he could never understand. What have the preeent
Government done with that £0,000,000? It had been
deliberately squandered, and 1.1,0U0,000 in ire hail
gone. Yet Mr. Tiryant'a support •vs hail the c ohne,'
