Tln\ gathoring was the largest of the kind ever Sald in the Windsor, and was attende/l by a host of political and other prominent perâ€" sons in Montreal and the neighborhood. The Hon. Mr. Blake addressed bimself to the work of the late session of Parliament, pointing out the bad character of the Paciâ€" fic Railway Syndicate bargain, the unpaâ€" triotie character of the Government in not entertaining the offer made by the Canadâ€" ian Syndicate, and the reckless manneor iu‘ which the publicexpenditure was increased..

As the ouly important question before the »electors during the contest were the N. P. .and the C. P. R. Syndieate, the defeat of the Government Candidate who in other ~respects appears to have beea a very popuâ€" lar man, the result of this election may be regarded ms a test of public opinion on‘ Athese questions, Indeed Mr. Thomas Whute, the member for Cardweoll, wln1 .stumaped the Riding, aduuts that the result wumay be "looked upon as a verdiet upon Athe work of the session just closed." . As 13 their wont after a defest, the Conservative Party attenapts to attribute the success of 4he Liberal Party to the religions ery, Mr. Kennedy, the Conservative Candidate beâ€" ‘ing a Roman Catholic.

At all events the charge of bigotry cannot be charged against the Conservative leaders who brought Mr. Kennedy ont, when it is remembered that the probabihties of a Conservative victory, if a Protestant were the nominee, were exâ€" eellent, and that by supporting a Catholic they lessened thow chanees.
