the meeting was to take steps towards
protesting the election of Hon. J. 0.
Patterson. Mr. Wm. Proudfoot ex-
plained the result of the recount,
which left Hon. Mr. Patterson's ma,
jority at sixteen, a reduction of nine
from the ofGctel return. Statements
were made showing that the election
had been carried bar open ants of
bribery, and, believing that there was
ample and reliable eviden^e upon
which to unseat the successful Candi-
date, it was unanimously decided to
enter a protest, there not being 'a
dissentient among the large number
present. A resolution of continued
confidence in Mr. M. C. Cameron and
an assurance of unceasing support in
the event of a new election being held,
which •is looked upon as o certainty,
was carried amid enthusiasm, as was
=else a resolution of unwavering attach-
ment to lion. Wilfrid Laurier and the
endorsation of his policy. The Liber.
als also expressed their determination
to resist to the utmost all illegal efforts
to defeat an honest expression at th
polls, and showed their siucerity by
