DatavS.—On. Tnesday Mows. J. 0. Pat-
terson and M. 0 Oatneron were nominated
for the West Huron vacancy. Mayor But-
ler was chosen chairman and arrangements
were made for the speaking, it being Mr.
Patterion's reacting. Mr. McGillicuddy
appeared on behalf of Ma Cameron, and
asking what time would be given him, was
informed that he could have the same time
as wouls1 be allowed Mr. Patterson in the
evening, but as the Reformers were not
prepared to allow any Conservatives( to speak
at their evening meeting. Mr McGillicuddy
was unable to speak. Mr. Patterson made
an able presentation of his position, which
evidently was in accord with the large gath-
ering. 11e touched upon the pamphlet
circulated by Mr. Cameron, because in that
fly sheet the government was charged with
putting a detective on Mr. (Ps. track. Thie
Mr. Patterson by a telegram from the
Premier, proved to be an untrue statement,
and the presentation ot the proof that it
was a lie conceded for politioal purposes,
took a firm hold on the audience. Mr.
Larke foltowed and made a speeoh that for
interest,truthfuluess and firm grasp of facts,
redounds to the honor of oar visitor
from the East. Mr. Larke merely alluded
to the pamphlet by saying that it was not
necessary to get sworn affidavits as to the

and proved himself a good representative of
the government,and a most genial descend-
ant of the gieen island of the sea. The
speakers were at times greatly cheered, and
at the close there was much enthusiasm.
The hall and all the adjoining rooms and
stairways were densely peeked, nevertheless
several hundreds were unable to obtain ad-
mission. In the evening. meetings were
held in Mr Patterson's Interest at Leeburn,
Dungannon, Manoheater and Taylor's school
house, Goderich tp. Mr. Patterson has the
help of Col Tisdale, M. P., E, Coolirane,
M. P., Hon. Jno. Costigan, Ald. Frankland,
Mr. Larke, Dr, Bfortague, Captain A, M.
Todd, E. Campion, Q. a, Dr. Holmes and
others, so that the electors of the West
Biding can not complain that there is no
discussion of political queetions. Hon. Mr.
Laurier addressed a large audience here on
Tuesday evg, on behalf of Mr. Cameron,
assisted by subordinate Liberals. Mr. Pat-
terson or any person in his behalf were not
given an opportunity to speak. Mr. Laurier
is a fine speaker, eloquent and theatrical,
but having a weak cause, failed to make a
deep impression. Among other things he
commented on the reverses met with by
the Liberal party, and eaid those reverses
roade it more than over neoeseary for Liber-
• als to fight keenly for their principles at
the present time. The Conservatives, he
said, were boasting the •Government would
have a majority of 40. No matter if they
had 50 or 75, the Liberals would still meet
Parliament with hope and courage, and do
duty to their party and country. It is
better to maintain' a bold front than die in
despair.
