Millner’s vemarks were short, poetic and _ pointed. He said that he admired genius, and in the “andidates selected to-day, that quality was

leeply imbedded. Mr. William Welsh chen stepped to the front. He was svidently out of sorts and talked

rather recklessly on our trade relations and

he Gonsequent ruin around us. But it was in dealing with the temperance ques- ion that he shone particularly. He stated that since the Scott Act had come into fect more liquor had been imported and lrank than ever before. He thought it high time something were done _ to remedy this terrible state of affairs, and if nothing better offered he would go straight or prohibition. To be sure, he hailed from Belfast and took his ‘‘ raw,” but that lid not make any difference ; he was a pro- hibitionist, all the same! He agreed with a previous speaker that he was not Mr. Laird’s equal, either in stature or states- manship—there was more ability in Mr. Laird’s little finger than there was in his (Mr. W.’s) whole carcass. He, however, had been shoved in to fill a break in the party, as he often was before, and he was in the hands of the people. Mr. L. H. Davies delivered the same old speech that has done duty for years past, and was so familiar to the greater portion of the vudience, that as soon as he had got under way many of them left the Hall, as they knew very well what was coming from what had been said. The speech abounded in charges of corruption agaiast the admini- stration of Sir John, and fairly bristled with such elegant expressions as ‘* boodle,”’ **swag,” ‘‘the boy,” etc., etc. He also touched on the temperance question, but waz more guarded in his utterances than Mr. Welsh. He said that he was in favor of temperance, and would vote for prohibi- tion provided a majority of the people were in favor of it. He, however, did not think it a square deal to make prohibition an issue in this contest, as there were hun- dreds of other points to be decided upon at that time, and a decisive vote could not be obtained. He looked forward to the | triumphant return of the Liberal party at the coming election.
