The deep interest felt by Me working men of this town, in
the clumsier sad political mentimants of Mr. Tramway,
Omit late candidata, .as snob as to suggest MN lasting
expression thereof, and accordingly a liberal mud hearty
movement—originated and meditated by the actual proem
tan—led to the purchase of • massive, elegant, and richly-
aimed silver salver, on which was engraved a suitable
iaseriptiou. The meat visit of Mr. Trelaway to Bedford
was seised us fitting opportunity for the presentation, and
for this purpose a meeting of the liberal eleeton and non.
siemens of the borough was omvenel, at the Castle Rooms,
