Mr Farren, of Clinton, also thoegbt it was the duty of the Liberal party to contest the election in the *aorta Mr Cameron should be returned to Parlia- ment as goon as possible ; but the bur- den of protesting West Hens should be borne by the entire party in the riding, end with that view they should look to the ways and meats. (Applause.) It was proper that they should spend their money in this !natter ; it was in the cause of right, and was quite legitimate There has already been a lot of expense in this election, and Mr Cameron should n ot he allowed to pay all the expense of a mooted in the courts.
