Cornwall, June 16.---N. W. Rowell, the liberal leader, on the occasion of his visit here last night, had a stir ring welcome. The town hall where the meeting was held was packed to overflowing, and many had to stand in the passages at the back. Many Indies were in the balcony. 'The tone of the meeting was de- cidedly heartening from a liberal point of view, and those foremost in the fight are confident that the libe- ral candidate, James W. reeve of the township of Cornwall, and warden of the united counties of ! Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, will emerge Victorious. Mr. Mcleod made a distinctly fa- vorable impression, and it is believ- td that disgust with the govern- ment's vacillation on the bilingual school issue will materially aid in turning the scales in his favor.

Second: That we wish Mr. Rowell God speed in his worthy undertak ing and express the hope that all the members of our church in the province of Onfario will use both their ipfilience and the franchise to elect candidates who. will support Mr. Rowell in his nndertaking. The resolution was carried with- out one dissenting voice and was warmly supported by seven or eight members of the association four of whom stated that they had been life. long conservatives but that on this issue they were in favor of Mr Row- ell and big policy.
