THE HON- mg") Layman. 1x0 i.\‘ run DRILL SHED.-â€"ABOUT THE MEET â€"-O.\'E OF THE LARGESI’ 3.000 PRESENT. EVER HELD IN THE COUNTY. The reform association of South Victdria have everv reason to be gratified at the success of Hon. Wilfrid Laurier’s meeting in the skating rink here on Diontlty afternoon last. When the meet- ing opened at LWo o’clock there could not. have brcn ltSS than 3.000 people present, afair proportion of whom were ladies. Among the audience could be seen men from Minder). Sranhope, Latterworth and other northern townships. “ho must have risen at}; very early hour in order to rob the train and reach Lindsay. The platform was very tastefullv decorated with choice flowers, uLLl the walls were hung with hunting, and flags. Mottoes adorned the walls in many places. Chairman John A. Barron before: an- program apolOgized for the unavordablo -tl)sence 'rf‘lxv vies-Presi- the South \tctorm Liberal Associ-atio !. Mr. Wm. Cameron, who was to have taken the Chair. “We have here,” said Mr. Barton, "3 hlej man, afi‘good man, in the person of the leader loyal Opposition at Ottawa. theiHon. Wilfrid Laurier. After the next general election, when our good friends. Mr. Geo. McHugh and Mr. R. J. McLauglin, come back from Ottawa they will toll you the same story that all members sitting behind Mr. Lnurier have to tell, that is firm he is the idol of his party, that to be acquainted With him is to reopect him, and that to know htm is to love him." Mr. George Moll-ugh, the liberal candidate for South Victoria, was; then introduced, and was Well received, 11.. a..:A-_\th I who am so ill versed GATHERING great man, a “O ov . v â€"-V-v, Mr. George McHugh, the liberal candidate for South Victoria, was; then introduced, and was Well received. He said:-â€"Why I who am so ill versed in the art of public speaking should appear on a platform with such able and talented men as we have before us. re- quires an explanation no matter how brief its form. Let it suffice for me to say that. the action for the reform conven- tion held in this town on March last having selected me as their candidate. to contest this riding in the interests of the liberal party, it becomes my duty; no matter how humble I may be able to (lo I do not intend to take part in the ‘ discussion of politices here to pay. Ilwill ‘ leave that to our eloquent tongued and Honored Chief and his able associates, ‘ will offer for me later on to address you on the situation as it may present itself to my mind. I might here tell you that I have always believed it to be the duty of government to remove, instead of placing burdens on the shoulders of the people. How h s the government at Ottawa kept faith wiih the people inthat respect? Is not the Dominion Franchise Act an un- necessary and a cumbers one burden plat 91 on the shoulders of the people! It drains large sums from the public treasurer and large private subscriptions from the re- spective political parties. and then leaves many citizens disfranchised. I regret to say that I cannot agree with those learned ministers at Ottawa who have gone throuh this country lecturing on the orosperity of the Canadian when we see the stock on the farm. the products of the soil in the barmand the very land itself of which they speak in such glowing terms all diminish- ing in value, I do not charge to the tariff regulations enacted at Ottawa all this decline in value; but I do say that they‘ are certainly chargable with a very large share of it, and while speaking of the agriculturist. I wish you to remember that I donot forget that the merchant, the manufacturer, the citizen. the mechanic and the laborer should all receive equit- able consideration in proportion to the benefits the country derives frcm their various callings, as they are all as necessary to our comfort andindependente as is the farmer. and in the framing of tariffs all should receive equal considera- tion.â€"â€"Do not be afraid that I am going to enter on a discussion. I know this vast audience come not for the purpose of heanng,me but. I will_ask you to bear with mu vvvvvvvvv so. to come before you and ask your support for the cause you have choosen me to represent. And to ask that neither through my inabxlity or inexperience shall you allow the policy of the party of which I am but an humble follower to suffer. me for a moment. I may not again fer some time have an opportunity of speak- ing to so many of our friends, and being your candidate I am sure none of you will think it surprising if I take a lively interest in the campaign in this riding. and if 1 ask our friends to see that so far as we are concerned that it shall be fairly and honorablv conducted. Perfect har- mony does and I am sure it will continue ‘ to prevail in our ranks, and while we will be both energetic and active for the liberal cause, we will see that our opponents are treated with courtsey. A cheerful support I expect and, this I know I will receive from my friends, and at the same time I bespeak a badly feeling for those who may happen to think that they can see just as well through the other end of the spy glass. Abusing opponents does harm: kindness begets friends. I may now say to our Honorable Leader that not by my feeble efforts. but by the energetic, active and cheerful support of his friends and my friends, coupled with_those feeble efi'orts he will win South Victoria.â€"Applause. things for their common country should nlly around a man like Mr. laurier, a. man who had maintained the stnndurd of thO hie even in politics, where it '88 A"?! 8 vigdroug apeeok from Mr. said thaialmost everything was bad.

MOLAUGELIN, who was Interu- duced as the future {member for North Victoria, made an admirable speech. He, too, expressed gratification at seeing such a magnificent meeting. He saw men ‘ before him fron Lutterworth, Mindent and Standhope, who had travelled a dis-i tance as great as from Toronto to be pres- 1 ant. This showed the spirit of the people in the north riding of Victoria, and the magnitude of the meeting showed the spirit of the people of South Victoria. The Libt-rais wouiu wm the victory by the spirit of patriotism which actuated them andthe lofty principles which they profess- ed. This Was a time when Canada need- ed men of character and ability. The things that have been done at Ottawa were con- trary to the principles of the Consertive party. contrary to the principles of the Liberal party. contrary to all principles, and this was the time when all men of i. oner and all men who hoped for better MR. W31. MULOCK, member for North York. alluded to by the chairman as “Farmer Mulock. because he always looks after the interezt of the farmers, being a practical farmer himself,” spoke of what the French had dune to save Canada in the hour of trial. When Mr. Laurier was chosen leader they did not stop to ask at what altar be worshipped, or from what nation his forefathers} were descended. They saw in him the elements of greatâ€" ness, and all the qualities of aloyal citizen. Canada Washkc a young; giant with its limbs bound and undeveloped. And why? The Government of the day and its predecessors had paralyzed the country’s prOgress, and brought to a standstill. wasted its substance, and impoverished its people. He declared that from the time they took office until the 30th June, 1895, the Dominion Government had in current expenses. in yearly expenses, collected from the people, in all, the enormous sum of five hundred and forty-two millions of gold dollars. ..-.. n x “ uUILaI E- At this point little Ella Brady, the ten~year-old daugh' er of Mr. Thos. Brady, presented Mr. and Madame Laurier Wlth handsome boquets and was well kissed by the recipients. Mr. D. R. Anderson. secretary of the South Victoria Reform Association, then read an address to Hon. W. Laurier, who was loudly cheered as he came forward to reply. He spoke for over an hour and a half. He said the language of the chairman, did he not know him of old. would lead him to the belief that he (Mr. Barron) had kissed the blamey stone. Mr. Barron was a Canadian, but his forefathers must have come from the land of the blarney stone, where sweet- ness of language ran like water in the brooks. He at once launched out into a discussion of the policy of the govern- meat, but our columns are too crowded to give a resume. Speaking of the Manitoba school question Mr. Laurie:- said :â€"“I shall not hold myself responsi- ble when a speech is condensed into ten lines. I shall not be tesponsxble for the. condensing, but I have no objection that every word I speak here or elsewhere shall be taken down. By those words I intend to stand and to be judged.” Although he would like to see separate schools restored, he should make no sectional appeal, but should appeal to the Christian and brotherly feelings of all sections of the country. Although of French origin. his country was not limited to the Province ef Quebec, but it extended to wherever on this continent ‘the British flag flew. That was the lplatform upon which he stood, and if tupon it he could not win, he should be tglaj to fall with it. , t- n_‘_ ‘Y Irv -n--- ..-.... -‘v 5...“ In answer to a question from Rev. N. Hill of Omemee. asking him to state the stand he would take on the prohibition question, Mr. Laurier said that when the Liberals get into power they would take a plebiscite. The will of the people would be ascertained and whatever their W111 it will be the duty of the goVernment to Acnrry into execu tion. .___L - M13." W.“ Graham, opposition, put a question with reference to school in the North-West which was not clearly understood. this: We bane nothing to do at present at all with the North-West. We have to deal with Manitoba. Manitoba. as you know, is not the N orth-West. Does your question refer to Manitoba or the North- West ? Mr. Grahamâ€"To the North-West â€"-to the whole. Mr. Laurierâ€"Well, I cannot answer that. because the condition of things is not the same. Mr.Grahamâ€"Well, the question now in agitation. Mr. Mulockâ€"That :3 Manitoba. Mr. Lauderâ€"Very well, what uboub Manitoba? Will you repeat your ques- tion. Mr. Grahamâ€"If each sect [S to have schools of its own, what 13 to become of our _public school system 7 (Luufihterz) Mr. Laurierâ€"If'all sects have to have schools of their own I don’t know what is to become of our public school system. I cannot persume to answer that. The constitution has to provide for that. The constitution has simply provided an appeal by the Protestant minority where it exists and the Roman Catholic minority where it exists. There is no further appeal that I kno_w. _ -\ Mr. Grahamâ€"It. is not the Romun Cltholic minority, it’ s the J gangs. MIDLAND A KILLEDâ€"A111 1 s.in.‘;Monda.y while the steamer J. D.
