BIRSIINOHAST ELscrlott —Our correspondent
writes :—" The nomination takes place on Monday (to-
day) at twelve o'clock. Both candidates are working hard;
they are addressing ward meetings from morning till nht.
Mr. Lloyd's friends called a meeting in the Town-ball on
Friday night, but the opposite party obtained possession
of the floor of the ball, and for three hours the uproar was
only increased end varied by lights, not one word the can-
didate said being heard except by the reporters to whom
he spoke. The rune wu as matchless as it was disgraceful ;
nothing like it has ever been experienced in connection
with any election in the town. Mr. Murphy made his
appearance in the hall ; that increased, if possible, the
tumult, and he was persuaded to leave. On Saturday it
was industriously circulated that the persons who made
the disturbance at the meeting were 'in the pay of Mr.
Dixon's committee.' That body met and published a
prompt and indignant denial of the accusation, which was
declared to be not only ' absolutely false,' but it was
added, the committee bad done everything in ital power
to prevent the disturbance ; in fact, all deoent people
were disgusted at, and ashamed of, the proceedings of
Friday night, as they well might me. Mr. Dixon's friends
speak with a confident suurance of success. There are
&Wpt 15,500 voters on the register."
