Mr McGillicuddy was unable to speak.

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.
