After the reading and adoption of the
minutes of the last meeting, and the ap-
pointment of municipal *nominees, hie
Thomas Gibson, M.PP., was called up -
un to address the meeting. In a speech
of over an hour's duration he reviewed
the political situation, and showed the
necessity for thorough organization and
hearty work it. future election As lie
vigorously scored point after point
against the policy of the Opposition in
the Local House his remarks wete ap-
plauded to the echo, and he oomcludd
amidst the greatest enthusiasm.
Brief speeches were also given by Dr.
Sloan, Dr. Macdonald, and Messrs Wede,
Morton, McMillan, Strac}yp, McLean,
Hoch, McGillicuddy, J. A. McEwen,
and others.
A committee, consisting off Messrs.
Wade, Mortem, Hood, Strachan, F. S.
Scott, and Dr. Sloan, was appointed to
devise ways and means to watch the re-
cision of the voters' lista throughout the
oounty, and under these conditions no
town in Canada can offer greater advan-
tages than Goderich. It is well known
that Goderich leads the van in the salt
Reade, and this fact, coupled with the
magnificent harbor facilities of the town,
should make it a desirable location ter a
railway terminus.
We have, time and again, pointed uut
the advantages that would accrue to the
C. P. R. in the event of Go derich he-
mming the terminus of the western
branch, and we do int intend to revert
to the subject en this occasion, but we
do say that inure energy should be at
once exhibited by sur local men. If the
C. P. R. authorities were duly invited to
0,derich surely they would come hither
as willingly as thiy went to Wingham ;
and if the salt business it, one in which
they take a keen interest, G,dench,with
its thirteen well, would prove to be a
plate of importance so far as that indus-
try is concerned.
