The largest Liberal -Conservative Convention in the history of the county of Huron was held in Henson on Thursday lase for the nomination of a Liberal -Conservative candidate •for South Huron . The large hall was completely packed with representative men, and scores were unable to secure standing room, remaining outside in the hope that an overflow meeting would. be held. The enthusiasm was unbounded. the various speakers being frequently interrupted by vigorous applause. Among those on the platform were Mayor Beattie, of London, chairman of the Western Liberal -Conservative association ; Major Jos. Beek, of West Huron fame ; John Sherritt, M. P, of North Middlesex ; Dr. Rollins, of Exe ter ; B. B. Gunn, Seaforth ; Mr. Holm - stead, barrister, Seaforth ; T. B.

The nomination of Mr. Eilber as the standard-bearer ofthe party in the coming election was moved. by Dr. Rollins, who performed a similar duty four years ago, and seconded by Mr, B. B. Gunn. Both mover and seconder made stirring speeches. The nomination was unanimously carried amidst the wildest enthusiasm, Mr. Either in accepting the nomin- ation, made a brilliant address, which was received. with unbounded en- thusiasm.
