man set forth on his expedition to con.

of enthusiasm almost unparalleled, even
in his career. He drove, rs usual, in an
open carriage, accompanied by Mrs.

crowd assembled and gave him an ova-
ton. The train inside the station was
unusually long. His salon was at least
q hundred yards from the booking Office.
Every foot of space between the
two was covered with masses of
people, except narrow lane,
through which he walked. 1t was only
with the greatest difficulty that he made
his way. Everybody seemed determined
to grasp his hand. Dozens OF ladies
pressed forward to thrust flowers upon
him as he advanced. The people closed
behind him, pressing after him to the
very door of the salon carriage. All this
time there was one uninterrupted cheer.
When he reached the carriage he dis
posed his flowers round him, and then in

window. Speaking i'm full. clear voice
he addressed the people for a few minutes.
He said he understood what their enthu-
siasm ment. He pointed out, as he never
lOoses opportunity of doing now, the cx-
act issue of the election, namely between
Salisbury and coercion and himself and
Cancellation. At the principal stations
along the route arrangements are being
made for him to say a few words to pub.
lie meetings gathered in the yards of the
railway stations. l hear that besides his
Scotch speeches, he will also address
two or three meetings i'm the North OF
England, probably on his return, if his
health continues good: also a mass-meet-
Ing in the East End of London.
