tors present pledge themselves to use their bad exertions
to et cure their future return."
Mr. ll'Oxotos Sinn seconded the resolution, which was
put and carrisd without any dissaithat.
Mr. Costar n. M.P., their addressed the meeti_ ng. After
risoreesing the &Hitt which he had felt at timing the
••y of the liberal party so eloquently defended by Mr.
moon Harcourt, he denied that the conservative party
had any policy, and referred to the speech of Mr. Dcwaeli
ou tl.e pi ev.ous evening in support of that view. As to
Lead Stauley—the Last card the government bad to play
and the ettkinent of the Alabama ho remitted
that .t was well that those claims were settled by Lad
Stanley, for the conservative party would never have
allowed them to be 'settled In tho same way, if they
could have helped it, by a liberal government. Among
other thing. which the goveruneet had taken from their
oploncute was the policy of amity and e inaliattni
timards the United States. It wee frevently urged that
Mr. Gladitone was dangerous. Who, be asked, war the
most dangerous', Mr. Oladtone with his courtge or Mr.
Dim ail with his reckless audacity Y He knee no greater
instance of audec.ty thin that of Mr. DisraelL with his
foot on the reek of his party, doing to tell them that be
had for many years been educating them. (laughter.)
Well might they ask him " Are you educating us now—
is tie avers of educaton complete r" They were told by
one of their opponents that as regarded the
Irish church they were flying in the face of
their God. It appeared to him a desecration
to cceound the endowments of a church with its Greed,
and to lay that by attempting to remedy a temporal abase
tl.ey were committing a spiritual offence. (Hear.)
Alderman Lawnmecz, M.P., observed that by that day
week the result of that great contest would be known,
and Le felt confident that the citizens of London would
Lave 1 nerd tree to their principles.
Ision bonen ItornsimuLD, M.P., adverted to the se-
ttees which had been offered by the candidates on
the other ride for the course they were pursuing,
and contended that they were ffi quite insucient.
Ike p:
end position of England in the word was
due to the triumph of liberal principles in past times, and
Le bad no fears as to the result of the coming election.
Mr. R. W. Came:ark M.P., after some general re-
marks on the position and prospect* of the libaul party,
raid that having informed himself correctly as to the posi-
tion of the contest in that City, he felt confident that the
