Laidlaw was the first speaker, and on rising expressed his gratification at seeing so many pree- em. He also said that he did not intend to take up much time. as the candidate and Dr. Jamieeon were present. and he knew that Mr. Rich- ardson was the Speaker whom the people wished to hear. He thought also that it was to be regretted that the two candidates could not have arranged for joint meetings in order that the people might hear both sides of the etory from the same platlorm by the candidates themselves. This, however. was not the fault 0! Mr. Bichardam. as he failed to get Dr.' Landerkin to enter into such an ar- Mcement. Then followed a caustic straingement oi the government for a violation of all the promises upon which they secured omce ; increased expenditure. coal oil combines. brok- en pledges, etc, etc.. but we must he briel. Mr. Richardson ascertained upon enquiry that Mr. “'11). Calder, of Durham, had come to represent the cause of Dr. Landerkin, and kindly invited him to take a seat upon the platform. whena program was ar- ranged. Mr. Ramage, of the Review was also present on the nlat!orm,but was not one of the speakers. A: 8 o’clock Mr. Richardson culled the meeting to order and toquutod the nomination of a chairman. Mr. Allan, of Bgremont. was soon select- ed, and never did he fill the position better than he did on this occasion. His introduction was brief and to fine point, and his remarks between the addresses were in good taste. 1 On Monday night last a meeting in the interest ol Mr. Richardson, the Conservative candidate, was held in the Agricultural hall, in the village of Holstein. Notwithstanding the fact that the weather was somewhat unfavorable, the hall was comfort- ably filled some time before the hour 0! commencing. From about seven to eight o’clock the Italian Harpere. announced to play at Mr. Richard- son’s meetings discoursed eweet music on the violin and harp, much to the delight apparently 0! all who were present and who had auficient love of music to appreciate it.

The meeting was cloud with cheers for the Candidate, the Queen, and a hearty vote of thank: to the chair- men, Mr. Klan. It wu‘e most orderly meeting and every one got a. respectful hearing. In concluding his able address he referred to the ever friendly persoml relations between himself and Dr. Landerkin, but with regard to his political carrer he had no knowledge that the Dr. had ever cast an inde- pendent vote, but was always aslave to the party with whom he voted, under all circumstances. whether ,right or wrong. If right it was all ‘right; if wrong it was all wrong, but lright or wrong Dr. Lankerkin voted with the party. Independence in the exercise of his own judgement in all questions was a right he claimed. and if the party wished to be repre- sented by a mere voting machine he was not the man to elect, as no party would bind him to support every or any measure, only as he saw it to be for the welfare of the country. He believed. too. that the electorate of this country was possessed more than ever before of a true spirit of independence, and turning to the chairman paid him a magnanimous complement when he said he regard- ed the Patron movement as largely instrumental in bringing about this healthy condition of political' inde- pendence. a well received portion of Mr. Rich- ,ardson’s address, and the frank way he put the matter could not fail to win the respect if not the support of some of his political opponents. The reference made to Sir Wilfred's abil- ity as apolished speaker, his loval talk at the jubilee in London, and. his subsequent dallying inaction in send- ing the contingent when the empire was in danger was appreciated by his audience. Mr. Richardson frankly admitted that some acts of the Conservative government should be condemned. but his comparison between free in- vestigation and subsequent punish- ment of of oflenders under Consens- tive rule. and the attempts on the part of the Liberals to screen the wrong doings of their own party was . Mr. Richardson was the last speak- er, and on rising to the platform was . cheered to the echo. He regretted, he said. that union meetings could not have been arranged for, and ex- plained the course he adopted but without success, in trying to bring about such meetings. A few min- utes were next spent on the demo- cratic character our government was i supposed to take, after which a re- ‘ view was made of the various cir- cumstances which led to the advent 0‘ tie present rulers. The hard times, allover the world, of which .Canada bore a share in the last years 'of Conservative rule was not the work of any,government more than is the good time now enjoyed with the returning wave of prosperity‘A brief reference was made to the Maui- toba school question, which he re- garded as the cause of the Conserva- tive overthrow. The return of pros- j perity, the discovery of gold in the' , Yukon, the Queen’s jubilee and j other circumstances, ushering in just after the Liberals came into power had no doubts good efiect on the party. The Yukon Scandal, the Preferential trade question, the vio- lation of the premlection pledges, scandalously ignored, were graflic- i 1 ally portrayed by the speaker, and , l r believed by the great bulk of the reople present. Dr. Jamieson was next called, and indulging a few minutes in his usual pleasantries. he turned his attention Io’Mr. Calder, whose addIess he rid- fled so fully that not a vestige of it remained. He gave a true version o! the American quarantine regula- tions, and the circumstances by which their removal was brought about, demonstrating beyond the shadow of a doubt, that no credit should be given the Liberals. The debt at the present time he showed to be seven millions in excess of what it was in 1896. The question '0! cold storage and rapid tranSporta- tion, too, had its origin during Con- servative rule, and the negotiations that had been entered by the Conser. vstit'e party before leaving otfice, for a fast line of steamships to the old country was set aside by the present administration and the commerce of the country is still snflering from in- action. during the past {our years an all round average reduction of two per cent. had been made A magnificent point was gained in the interest of the Reform party, when he pointed out that coal oil, binder twine and . cream seps rators had been put on the tree list. During the eighteen years of Conservative rule only 3762 cattle were sent into the United States, and since 1896, under Liberal rule they sent in the enormous number of 354.503. If the poor of Egremont possess half the l elligence Mr. Calder gave them credit for they would hme no difficulty in seeing that the self-constituted political stumper was "far beyond his depth.”| v' v-vvouv 0’ ”u. (S. F. Band. Winâ€"3, at the ccmoltmionx It affords your correspondent great pleasure this week to chronicle the marriage of our estetmed townsman. Thomas Carter, M.

Esq., of Meaford, in which town Miss Pye has. for a number of years, adortwd the teaching profession, and will be greatly missed from the Pub. lic School stafl. The marriage took place at the home of the bride’s mother, Elder C. J. Lister. of Owen Sound, officiating. The drawing room decorations, amidst which the ceremony was performed, were artis- tic and in harmony with the season, 'being chiefly of evergreens and {autumn leaves. The bride was pret- gtily attired in a travelling suit of fbrown cloth. and was atte ded by her niece, Miss Fulton. of Woodstock. who was gowned with Tuscan silk lisse over white silk, with touches of black velvet. At the conclusion of the ceremony and congratulations a dainty wedding repeat was served after which Dr. and Mrs. Carter left for their new home here, arriving at 9 p. m., and were given a cordial re- ception by a few of the ladies who had luncheon awaiting them. The happy couple were also given a splendid musical welcome by the I n n h-_j a ' i it’nce have we found the slightest deviation from the path of rectitude. The more we know of Mr. Richardson the more we respect him, and should it be the good fortune of the people of South Grey to elect him as,our representative in the House of Com- mans. we will stake our reputation he will soon be known throughout the Dominion as a. wise legislator worthy of the confidence of any peo- ple. a. gentleman. We have known him as a business man. We have known him as a member of the Municipal Council. We have known him as a member of the County Council. We have known him as a. member of the School Board. We have known him in every relation and walk of life and in every case we have known him as a success. In every case we have known him to lie honorable and up- rigll in his dealings. _In_note. single For fifteen years we have known' Mr. Richardson. We have known him intimately.

But the team paid no at- tention, more than to separate so that Mr. Allan was/'12 a line between gthe two horses without time to I escape on either side.

Now we do not know how such a dissemi- nation of campaign literature had its origin, nor can we speak definitely , in the matter. If the Conservatives, as a party or as an individual clique did it. it was a flagrant wrong; if the Reformers did it, it was not a whit better, but rather worse. Our opin ion is that the fraud was the work of unprincipled Liberals. (now we say unprincipled Liberals, because honest ones wouidn’t do it) in the hope of bringing odium on the Conservative party.

The Conservatives, as a party, a e not foolish enough to be caught in any such a game. It may serve the Grits as an election cry. but we’ll '1 venture to say an investigation will not be forced.
