regard any new candidate offering himself as an inju-
dicious friend, if not an open enemy, of the Liberal
cause."

Lai pily did not offer resit. tance to the "gown," such was not
the case at Exeter. ThLre the riots of last 3-, ar were repeated.
A huge bonfire was lighted in the Cathedral yard, and there
was a display of fireworks. "Young Exeter" was docked
out in gorgeous costume, and there was P. scene of the
wildest excitement. The banks and other public buildings
in the Cathedral yard were barricaded. The authorities
have hitherto been unable to put down the Guy Faux
brations, which have been so often condemned by the judges
of assize visiting Exeter, especially as they take place in
the very heart of the city, muck to the annoyance and in-
