The CHAIRMAN having read the circular convenana

Mr. H. C. WILSoN said lie rose under more ef
circumstances to address the meeting than had evict

struggled—that the man who had obtained tbe coni
fidence of the electoral body, and 1412 !Allay
been placed at the head of the ballot on mutf,:a
last, had betrayed the trust reposed in

that it he had only a majority of one on that oeeasi°ll.ol
would stand the poll with Sir B. Hall, had that dap -
at the elevetith hour, retired and left the Liberal Peo

costing him one sixpence of expense ; and tneYeg,
also guaranteed to return him at the contest for 2
which was required for the erection of the rliiii

when he addressed 3,000 people on Monday of
after the ballot, and they were " That the ne°ll,jee

which had bound him, and he would do so ism hi!

finding that he had not done so, he (Mr Wilson) 'l'ol
to Mr. Harvey, and he said his address was ready' aot
that he was preparing to do it ; but, finding he br:Sr•
done so that morning, Mr. Cassell, Mr. Ken with

He then spoke of the guarantee that his expel:lslso.ol

Harvey then promised to resign his commissi°lloo
into the hands of the Lord Mayor and issue his ,6

the public papers as to-morrow. He wrote the a wed
to that effect ; and, although he had previously den pin
that his qualifieation was good, be only a sb, , °rtett

clining to go the contest.—(Shame!) The e`ls
of Mr. Harvey had been one of the greatest bellt/Jwieedr

that had ever taken place in the annals of electioneo,ll
and he (Mr. Wilson) could nut express suftla the
strongly the feeling of disgust which perlnuut gr.
