The attendance was very large and the town hall was fairly packed to the doors. Thronghout the meeting the best of'order was kept. Mr. Holmes, the Opposition candidate, made his first appearance in Crediton, and judging by his reception, has made re meet, favorable impression on the public. Mr. Bishop spoke for half an boar, fol- lowed by Mr. Holmes for the same length of time. Mr.ollin C i e then took an hour in the interest of Mr. Bishop, and Mr, Holmes replied during the next hour. Mr. Holmes was laboring at a disadvantage, being very hoarse. but in all Other respects the •diaad• dantage was on the opposite side 'of the platform. Mr. Holmes showed up the iniquities of the present government in a Manner which' could not be and was not contradicted by Isis opponents. Fie hod a large number of Catholic hearers and in laying down tris platform be did it so :clearly and impartially that no one could take any offence. He achieved one thing never done fu Crediton before "Knocked out Collins."

On Friday evening last the first shot e the presentolitical camps%gn_. for South Ifur< n was fired hi Exeter, Mayor Clarke, of Toronto, was expecte 1, but owing to ill health could; not be'present, and his place was taken by N. Clark Walleee, one of the. `• Noble Thirteen," The attendance was very large, hundreds having to leave, be- ing unable to gain admittance. The cbair was taken by Lawyer Hickson, who gave a short address. Dr. Rollins wee the first speaker and he sueceeefully dealt with ` the ninny acts of iniquitous legislation oe the part of the Alewat administration, Mr. Bishop, the government supporter, war next called. He spoke for half an hour, advancing reasons why he and Oliver 'Mowat should be returned. he stated that their course had been an honest one. and should commend itself to alt right. thinking people. Mr. Bishop made a creditable speech. !lir. Holmes followed, and although hoarse, shattered Mr, Bishop's arguments and soon with* house wild in plaudatiou. Mr. Clare; Wallace then took the platform, and in a speewh al ne,rly two burs' duration, lucidly expial:n* efl the Meredith policy. Ho was Tile the men who opposed the Joanit Bill and was present on this occasion to oherrt iwi. the cause of Equal Rights. 13o woul;tnot disparage the Catholic religion, but would in the strongest terms denounce their Tet- ting epeoial privileges. He would for the present concede to them all the eonstitu- tion allowed, but would favor the abolish- ing of amendments thereto. Mr. Wallace dealt with other phases of the WOO, and WAS so sueeassfut iii hie appeal that Re. formers as well as Couaeryatives felt that he was pleading a righteous cause ant% that Meredith's platform would ultimately win. On the whole the meeting was one of the beet ever held in the county of Morass. The meeting closed with the usual formal- ities. Un Monday evening Ur. Rolmea held one of his rega'ar meetings in Exeeete Tlria meeting was also over -crowded, and hundreds were turned away. Tile meet- ing duly opened, Mr. Holmes took the platform, and speaking for one hour pie. sented his claitna most clearly and in a mariner which defied contradiction. Ile labored under a had disadvantage, being yet horse ; but notwithscentling he pieta - el the Ifowat administration as it never before bad been pictured, and exposed, the truckling influences it courted. Ile tap. pealed to the O'.ceters as an Equal Right's supporter, and gave proof to show he had always held the seine views, lie would not do the Catholics an injustice. Tru giving them Equal Rights with the Protestants, and this he would always vote to do. Tie said the Catholics, if they would look into the matter dispassionately, would .not ob. ject, but woutri consider be was doing them a fever. Mr. Holmes made a conetnetug address, aria WW1 testily applauded by the more liberal Reformers. Mr. R. II, Collins, Barrister, on behalf of lir. Bishop, spoke atsonto length, and WO must admit that be gave one of the most eloquent and powerful addressee we ever heard -one that would do credit to any crater on the continent. Bnt Mr. Collins has a very ,bad erre°. and with a bad case it is difficult at the best to snake en impression. He dealt at some length on the Separate school question, and while he strongly held the relies, the prord in support came abort. Mr Collins made Some valuable points, but they turned out to be valuable to lir. Holmes. Mr, Holmes :replied to Mr. Collins in a successful manner, showing wherein Mr. Collins had told only a part of the truth and also where he had made some Inisrep- resentations. Having the chance of reply Mr. Holmes had an advantage, of course, and therefore it would ba unfair to infer that Mr. Holmes has everything on his aide. The meeting was orderly throughout, a pleasing characteristic of an Exeter audience. Mr. Jos. Senior has sold hie fine driving horse to Mr. Edw. Christie. Mr. J. A.
