OTTAWA. June 21.-The opening OF the Lib
eral Convention yesterday afternoon in the
big Rideau Rink showed Il great gathering
Fully 1.5OO delegates or alternates were pres
ent. The Hon. Wlfrid Lauriers entrance into
the building at o'clock was received with
hearty cheering. He was followed to the plat
form by some thirty or forty OF the Liberal
leaders. and opened the proceedings by NOV
ing Sir Oliver Mowat to the chair
The Ontario Premier read from manuscript
a carefully prepared speech. which was the
leading feature OF the afternoon. He urged
the Convention to demand the most radical
tariff reform and as great measure Of reci-
tained without the sacrifice Of considerations
vital to Canadian national existence. He be-
obtained by a Liberal Government at Ottawa
The feoing in Ontario was 80 strong regard

assert that they, the Liberals were prepared to

idea OF n national future.
This written speech fell rather fiat. The ref
eronces to annexation and tho Iaudation OF
British connection were received in silence.
which was rather nn ominous fact. although
doubtless partly accounted for by the general
apathy which tho monotonous delivsrance pro-

the states in ten years. and he ascribed this
chiefly to the extortionate tariff He proceed
ed to mention Canada's three possible futures
There was union with the .motherland. The
Convention received this In silence. There
was independence ICheersl: and there was
union with the great country to the south.
This last received some cheers. Mr.. Laurier
then spoke against the high tariff.
Sir iichard Cartwright followed Laurcr with
vitriOlic speech in which he denounced the
Dominion Senate, as at present constituted. as
Legislative blot and farce which must bc abol-
ishcd or practically reformed. IIe denounced
the. present, Conservative Parliamentary ma
jority as guilty of condoning tho vilest corrup-
tion ever known in any English-speaking coun-
try possessing representative institutions. He
pitched into the protective tariff. and. like
Laurier and Mowat. dwelt on tho vital ncces-
sity of constitutional reciprocity.
The Liberal Convention reassemb bled to-day.
The Committee on RESOLUTIONS not being
ready with its report. little was done ut
the first session EX-Premier Jolly OF Quebec
delivered a vigorous speech. He asserted
that tho Liberal party had never before
in his experience shown such unity and
enthusiasm as 1t showed now. and ho urged
them to subordinate everything hut their
principles toa determined effort for victory
which he believed was now easily within their
grasp.
