LAMB, oi Lorneville, was chosen chsirmsn, and proved himself on excellent person for the position with the exception of keeping good order, end in this respect the crowd did as they saw fit. In A short speech he pointed out;the aims and objects tithe Fermers’ Alliance, urging the term- ers to look well to their own interests end to send one of their own profession to per- llsmsnt. He concluded his remarks by selling on the first speaker, Mr. Donsld Jsclmon. Mr. JACKSON, in response to the invite- tisn, ssld:â€"“I do not intend to take the platform, as I em so high up now so the most of vou." ( Uproer. and cries ot “pist- iorm or sit down.”) Mr. J sckeon then mounted the speaker’s stand and sold he believed the farmers should have greater representation in parliament, end spoke oi Mr. Campbell es s model farmer and stock- rslser. pointing out how Mr. Campbell lied drained his term; he also msde a reference to how deep he worked in the mud thst ycur rep-error will omit reierring to until he repeats it again, as it must have been 5 slip o! the tongue. Mr. Jackson ssid. “Vote for Mr. Campbell and piece him st the herd of the poll on election dey.” The next speaker was Mr. R. CAMPBELL, oi Hartley, who gave some figures respect- lnR the growth and membership of the order which were somewhst uninteresting. The chairman next celled on Mr. “M. Mexmxo, oi Hartley, who responded promptly to the invitation. As no revels- iicns had yet been msde the crowd began to lock {or a slight indication that the Innouncement or the bill would be verified. When Mr. Manning began to speak it was plain to be seen he was worked up to quite a state ct excitement. He said he was a iron, and believed in standing by their candidate. They were charged with being named to the best interests of the com- munity by buying from home, and sending their money away, but his money was hie own and he would spend it as he saw fit. Continuing, he said the object 0! the insti- tution was to do away with rings and combines. and some said they were s com- bine themselves. (A voiceâ€"What are you!) The farmers had to toil in the sun when it was ninety degrees in the shade, and they were called “moss-backs” and “hay-seeds," but he was not ashamed to be a farmer, Ind stand by a farmers’ candidate, as they needed greater representation in parlia- Item; the farmer is poor enough, God knows. and it God does not know it we do. (Wound sensation),and if they had greater unresentation in parliament they would he}: up the rings and combines. At this point Mr. Jonxsrorz asked the Maker how he proposed to break up the mnblnes, but not no answer. “What is “a cause of the combines!” continued Mr. “Milton.

[ Dr. MCKAY then stepped to the platform and said: “Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,â€"With reference to the news- paper article in question. the facts are these: I held a meeting in this village. at which I stated the amounts that the Mowat administration had given to various institutions that are of vital importance to the farming industry, and it so happen‘ ed that no reporters were present to report what was said. I was anxious that the farmers should know what the adminis- tration had done for their interests, and I wrote a short report and gave it to Mr. Munroe, who re-wrote it, adding to what I intended to say, (or which Iam in no way responsible.” Dr. McKay then took hie seat. Mr. CAMPBELL then continued: The next grievance was with THE. POST. He said that when Tar: Posr announced his candidature it headed it "stale news," and he thought the one to give it that appel- ation should be called “stale brains." As the item did not appear for nearly a month after the event transpired. it looked as it it was done to injure his chances of elec- tion, and further. he had not been fairly treated by The Peer. People who knew him knew he was not in the habit of being dunned. yet THE POST had dnnned him for $1, when he found by referrina to his books that it had been paid on the third of J anuary last. Dr. Manyâ€"0h, that In only a slight mistake; there 15 o number of John Cam;- balla who get their mail matter here and a mistake might very easily occur. Mr. CAMPBELLâ€"“Well. after the treet- ment that I have received I have die- centinaed taking the paper and ordered it to be stopped.” He then referred to the Mowet odminieteretion’e method of placing men in offices, giving the good offices to men who were not farmers. when a farmer could fill them.

Mr. CAMPBELLâ€"“A11 right, you can make your explannlon."

Mr. Campbell then referred to an article published in a newepaper in the village, which he charged Dr. McKay as being the writer of. After reading the article he called on Dr. McKay to deny the charge. as he had called on the editor in question. who had given him a written statement charging Dr. McKay as being the author of the article, and it they did not think the writing was genuine let them take proceedings aaainet him (Mr. C.) {or forgery. At this juncLure Mr. Gums. an elderly gentleman, came forward, took the plat- form, and said :â€"“ As I have been charged with circulating a falsehood I desire to make an explanation. A person might, in a moment of indiscretion, make a state- ment not in accordance with the facts, and still not deserve to be branded as a liar; a person who deserves to be classed as such is one who makes a statement when he knows the statements are false. and not in accordance with the facts. With refer- ence to the matter, he had occasion to be in the barber shop when this was talked of, and he simply told what he heard.” Mr. CAMPBELL-Well there will be some more jokes referred to before longmrobebly they on all jokesâ€"this etory hoe been o1:- enleted by Mr. Gamaâ€"let him any It it in n joke.

One of the stories that had been circulated was thet he had voted for Sam. Bushee at the leaf. election, when it was impceeibie for him to have done no, as he was not on elector in North Victoria.

Roam In better opinion of him than that you had better not place him in a position to be ex- travagant. Referring: to the seventh plank, the speaker claimed that it was so worded that the meeting was obscure ; it said “county oiiicers to be appointed or elected.” As we generally understand it. an appointment is made by a body of men elected for the purpose, and being elected is appealing to the popular vote. What are to be the qualifications of the various officials, and for what length of time they are to hold office, we are notitold. Mr. CAMPBELLâ€""The meaning is the sameâ€"you had better go to school." Mr. Mm'rnonxn.â€"“Wsll, it you under- stand them to be the same in our common usage of the terms, the meanings are as ‘ wide apart as the poles. For instance, we ‘ read that the lieutenant-governor has been pleased to appoint a certain person to an office. We understand the otiice is in his keeping, and he is responsible for the ap- pointment. 0n the other hand, when we hear of a certain person being elected, we understand that appeal has been made to the popular vote. It the meaning be the same what better would it be supposing they were installed in office as Mr. Camp- bell is contending for. Referring to the chargeoi weakness shown by the adminfl tration in repealing their own acts, he pointed out that it oiten happened inall administrations that after a law did not work as satisiactorily as it was hoped for, the law was repealed; it had happened time and again, and no person ever thought of charging an administration with weakness or incompetence. At this point the speaker said he was a member of the order. and what they were contending for was only an act of justice, but they should send men to the proper parliament to advocate what they were contending for. Every plank in their platform, with the exception of the seventh, and more particularly the tariff. were Dominion measures, and could only be dealt with in that parliament. (Uproar). The speaker, "Well, it you don’t want to hear go outside and let those listen who want to, and it I am wrong let the candidate set me right." The CnAIBMAN,â€""It I had known how you were going to conduct yourselves, and that I should have to listen to such speeches as some of the first speakers made, I should not have consented to have been your chairman.” Shortly after this the crowd dispersed, without offering cheers for either queen or candidate.

(Up- roar in the back of the hal). Continuing, he said that Mr. Campbell referred to the third plank of the patron's platform, which set forth “purity of administration and rigid economy in public affairs.” The speaker contended it could not apply to the Mowat administration, for during their long tenure of cflice no person ever dared to take the responsibility of chart;- ing the administration with misappropria- tion of public funds.
