She hoped they would give the same assistance In securing the return of their .candidate to Parliament. .(Applause.) Mr. Deacon' who was enthusiastically greeted, re: ••; the Women's Alisociation had sprung into life at • •,e .bound, and it had already ,done considerable 'work. (applause.) He was much indebted to the women for the work they had done for him at the recent County Council election, and also tomany members of party,who worked so zealously and so successfully for him whilst he was laid up. That election had demonstrated that the Liberals could have the candidate of their choice in-South Widnes, and the victory gained had inspired him with stronger hopes than he had before of success at the General Election. (Applause.) But they must not rely too much on the recent contest, for they had .a hard tlght before them.

He did not wish to be idle, and he had no desire to leave while he could work for the town. (Applause.) It was an extraordinary commentary upon the attack upon him that a special tram was engaged to carry all the Tory speakers to their homes. (Laughter, and applause.) Alluding to Irish affairs, Mr. Deacon said the Local , Government Bill would not settle the matter any more I than the land question, and their opponents were afraid of bringing the bill forward fora second reading. Nothing would remedy the state of the country but the passing of a Home Rule Bill. (Applause.) . . . _  Mr. F. Hartland then—deliveied a speech, after which Mr. H. B. Shores proceeded to give a lecture on, "Life in Ireland." His graphic and highly interesting descriPdons of places and people were enhanced by a iseries of lime light views.
