A NEW CANDIDATF, FOR

On Saturdays numerous meeting of the electors
of Manchester, requisitionists of Lowe and Potter, was held
in the Corn Exchange, when Mr. Alderman Neild, the
chairmen, announced the withdrawal of Mr. Lowe from the
costar, and callod upon Mr. lieu& to explain the dream-

stances.
Mr. Herod eaid they had sent a deputation to London,
with a requisition bearing 4,000 signatures, which was nearly
equal to the number which voted for Captain Denman et the
last election. When they met Mr. Lowe he expromed his
anxiety to come down to represent Manchester but his
friends at Kidderminster bad rent an deputation
to him, and be had felt himself bound In to them,

(Sir J. Potter) who had al y accepted their

meted to come forward and fight this battle &gaited the
dictation of the gentlemen at NewslrsLuildings, and against
a coalition in the Heuer of COMMON in favour of the policy
of Lord Palmerston, and that was Mr. James Aripinell
Turner. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. J. auturrr said he would not deaden the effect of
Mr. Hrngh's speech, but would at once more " that Jame,
Aspivall Turner, Esq., be placed in nomination Meng with
Sir John Potter, for the suffrage@ of this constituency.'
Mr. Meteoric Roza said they had worked moot earnestly
for Mr. Lowe, but at the last hour he had thrown them upon
their Dianeends. After anxious deliberation, in which every
member of the executive committee took part, they decided
that there was one man for the present emergency, end that
man weer Mr. Turner. Iln (Mr. Knee) could hem evidence,
alter being twelve yeas ooeocistod with him, that there was
no man who had devoted more time and money than he had
to further the intermits of thin city, and he had great pleasure
in seconding the motion.
Mr. OLIVER II ev woo n, in eupporting the motion, said he
felt he wee MI doing that which they, by their acclama-
tion. bad alms y detailed.
The CHAIRMAN, in imbedding the resolution, mid they
were in the position that one active hour was worth two
talking hours. If Mr. Turner had acceded to the request of
his friends, his name would have been before the doctors
long ago. He had now seceded to their earneet wishes in a
moment of difficulty, and contrary to his own inclinations,
and that constituted a double claim upon their gratitude. He
felt persuaded that Mr. Turner would never disgrace them,
and therefore he had mast pleasure in putting the motion.
The motion was then put, and all but unanimously
carried, amidst vociferous cheering.
Mr. Tv amen then 'dammed tiro meeting. He had no
wish to intrude himself upon the Manchester community,
but they would naturally wish to know something about
him. He came Into Manchester, in 1919, as poor ayouth as
any in the town ; but he wee of respectable family. His
fat t had become insolvent, and he himself, after strug-
gling in vain to retrieve the loudness, also became insol-
vent. He had wince, however, paid all his debts—(cheep)
—and be had risen by honourable conduct and industry.
If it was the decided opinion of the majority of the electors
that the present nienibers should to returned again, he
should not be disappointed ; but he believed they did not
represent the feelings of the great majority of the
electors. Ile and Sir John might be Indistin-
guiehed compared with Bright end Gibson, but at all
events they knew as much of commerce as Mr. Gibson.
He believed Mr. Bright would be a great for to the House
of Commons—(Beer, and " No ")—ari he had been always
a determined opposer of every measure which tended to inter-
fere with the liberty of the subject. He did not think Mr.
Gibson was a valuable member. If be (Mr. Turner) went to
parliament, it would be with a sincere desire to do his duty,
to contribute to the progress of the comely, and to support
their local interests, as Mr. Brotherton had done. lie had
always Leen connected with the friends of program. lie felt
it would be considered a great objection that he and Sr John
Potter were both of the game religion (Unitarianism), and
that not a populaeone; but he would always respect the
religious opinions of other sects. He should never attempt
to pull down the church, but would try to promote the came
of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.)
Sir Jelin Forrsit wan therein consequence of • requisition
signed by 4,000 electore—not obtained by paid mummers.
He had taken part in Manchester in every active movement,
1 and in accepting this invitation be had no petered ambition
. to scree. He should desire no support bet upon liberal
principle.. He had not, ea had been rid, dishonoured his
father ; but if Sir T. Potter had now bean alive Menchester
would not have been dictated to by Newell's-buildings.
(Cheers.) lie had not left his old friends, but they bad left
him. He believed Mr. Bright had rendered important ser-
vices, which would never be forgotten; then was no change
of opinion in that respect, bet there was a change in the
opinion. of the electors as to the targer policy. He thought
