Now when I turn to this stranger's address, I find they ere

I'm told is an amazing clap trap. It is about tenant *OM
This is the question on which he claims your suffrages. It is
a mat important one ; hut I do not allow any ginner Ones

saseeire there can he two opinion" on it. I call it the land-
here right too-as much to the interest of the one as the
Sher. I will give you a definition of the term, and tall ma

the entgoing tenant for all his particular and permanent im.
peaments. Is that it ? Then I Day it is the interest of

that this is grossly unjust. It ought to have been taken of

Thus is no difference between my opponent and me.
I know I have much to learn, but I will endeavour to be an
isdnitrious scholar, and if returned to the House of Cont-
ains as your representative, I hope you will never have
Irma to regret the choice you have made. (Great cheering.)
