ONE-SIDED CRIT MEETING. Yeo and Perry Shirking and Shuffling

fieckett and Lefurgy Challenge

Them To

4 FAIR DISCUSSION

SUMMERSIDE, Jan, 27,

Afraid to meet their opponents, Messrs. Yeo and Perry advertised a pnblic meeting to be held here last night, supposing Lefurgy and Hackett were attending the meeting at Tignish. The latter, however, were advised of the mecting here, and returned in the morning train. It was then rumored around town that-they would not be permitted to speak ; that the Grits intended making a party gathering of it. Enquiry was made of Mr. Gafiney, chair- man of the Liberal Association, who sub- stantially confirmed the report, as rumored. The meeting was held in Mon'gomery's Hall, and was not large, although attended by the leading supporters of the party and a considerable number of Couservatives. The standing slanders were rehearsed and the usual number of blue min predictions indu'ged in. Hackett and Lefurgy have advertised a mass meeting to-night, and invited Messrs. Yeo and Perry to attend.
