Foot unposed  The annual general meeting of the New Ferry Liberal Club was held on Tuesday last, Mr. Martin Harvey presiding. Mr. W. 11. Lever was also present on the platform. The Chairman, referring to tihe balance-sheet, remarked that the club had not handled quite s o much money as in the previous year. He thought that the Club was never in a stronger position than it lien occupied. It was true that the amount of eutecriptions from honorary members showed a decrease, but members would agree with him that that institution was soundest • which relied mainly upon subscriptions from ordinary members (hear, bear). If they were satithed to run the club merely on outside help, it would prove that the club had ceased to exist for all practical purposes. They had to mourn the loss of the late secretary, Mr. Knowles, whose energy, devotion and perseverance sere well-known to all of them. However, the club had been most fortunate in securing :dr. Grehan, who had stepped into the breach and put in much valuable time as secretary pro tem.—Mr. J. K. Thompson then read the treasurer's report, and when same had been adopted unanimously, Mr. ILever arose to propose a new president in place of Mr. Edward Evans, junr., resigned. Mr. Lever said that it gave him great plea'sure to propose the name of Mr. Witmer (applause), and he hoped the resolution would be carried unanimously. Ho ought to explain that at the preeent time Mr. Winser was only about one day's journey out from Colombo, therefore his consent could not be obtained. However, be put Mr. Wineer's name forward subject to that gentleman consenting to stand. He would also like to express the regret that everybody felt that they had not the pleasure of proposing Mr. Evans 83 their president again. Its (Mr. Lever) re!membered that on the last occasion Mr. Evana had expressed the hope that he might remain their president for life, and be felt sure that they all had echoed that wish, and regretted that he was now no longer connected with the club which he founded and had tended from a tender plant until it had grown into a stalwart Liberal tree. He trusted, however, that this state of affairs might be remedied in the near future. There was no need for a man to commit political . . . ..  suicide and sever his connection with the club as Mr. Evans bad done, but he was convinced that when :fir. Evans had thought further over the matter, he would again be. come their president. However, in Übe meantime, he positively declined to do so, and therefore they must fill the vacancy. Hi therefore did not think that under the circumstances, which were not agreeable to any one of them, they could do no better than select a gentleman who resided within easy reach of the club, a gentleman, moreover, who was well-known to the majority of the members, and in whom they had implicit confidence. There could be no doubt of hie sturdy Liberalism, and his ardent support of the principles they advocated was assured. As fulfilling all these conditions, lit, had much pleasure in proposing his name for the position of president, subject, ol course, to Mr. Winger's consent on his re. turn (bear, hear, and applause).—Mr. H. (.I. IMartin seconded, and the following gentlemen were unanimously elected as vice-presidents:—Mesers. W. H. Lever, Tomkinson, .Steven Williamson, J. S. Ferguseon. J. L. Tillotsop, and Peter Owen. M. Martin Harvey was unanimously le-elected to the position of chairman, and Mr. Ll. Jones was again appointed to the vice-chair.—Air. Lever, referring to Mr. Harvey's re-election, said that a hearty vo,e of thanks was one te that gentleman, who had the happy knack of inspiring all those who came in contact I with him with confidence.
