In point of uumb000, of enthueiaanl and of the representation of the riding iu w111011 it WAS 1101(1, the mee3iug which greeted Dir. Whitney in Exciter, on Satur- day last, was far ahead of any previews gathering during the 10090111 tour. It WAS investing which gave him just grounds for gratth0atioll• There were farmers peeeen3 front every township in tato constituency, and the residents of the village turned out and gave the Opposi- tion loader a cordial welcome, Tho meet- ing was Yield in the skating rink, which seats about 3,000 people, and 01 least half of that number wasp005ont• Tho gallery had been re001ved for ladies, and it was 01'owcled with members of the fair sex. The only members of the Legislature present were Mr. Whitney and Mr. Mag - wood, but two Con000703ivo candidates foe Huron were in attendance and made brief adclressos, Mr. Wliituey'a address lasted for over an hour, and wasfregnent- ly op/Aoudad, but, unfortunately, he had not recovered from a cold he contracted at Aylmer, and hie voice not having re- covered its usual strength and elearuess, he o0enoionally exporienoed eomedifliculty in raising it to the required pitch. Mr, Whitney arrived at 10.80 o'clock, and was met at the station by a deputa- tion, which escorted him to the hotel. A number of carriages had been provided, and in the first were 11'Ir. Whitney 1 Henry Blither, of Creditue, the Conserv- 11117e oauclidato for South sheen ; Dr. Rollins, of Exeter, President of the Con- servative Association of the riding, and J, A. Williams. In the second carriage wore Major Book, of Goderioh, the 00u- servative candidate in West Huron Thomas Magwood, M. P. P., of Stratford; John Britton, of !fullers, and L. II. Dickson, of Exeter. The procession to the skating rink, where the meeting was hold, was headed by the Exeter Brass Baud, which play0d a umber of loyal airs. TDB 1108114(1 01110110. The Chairman of the meeting was Dr. Rollins, and on the platforuh with him were :—J. P. Whitney, 113, P. P., Thomas Magwood, M. P. P., John Williams, of Zurich ; Henry l ilber, Crediton ; John Sherritt, Stephen Township ; John Tor- rance, Zurich ; L. H. Dickson, Exeter ; John Britton, Hullott ; Jobu Wade, Stephen ; Thomas Yearly, Stephen ; Major Beck, Goclerioh ; W. J'. Carling, Exeter ; James Thom, Excitor ; Dr, Miller, Exeter ; Charles II. Sanders, Exeter, and Wm. Plouson, Fullerton. In opeoing the meting the Ohairmen stated that they had come together for a little political talk, and to hear their new and esteemed leader, Mr, Whitney. By eftluxiou of time, he said, the term of this Legislature would soon be at an cud and a new one would have to be elected. The Liberals had held power for a quart - or of a century now and there were very cogent reasons why they should hold power no longer. Dir. Whitney had definite argot -emits to advance why this Achniniotratlou ehonld no longor000tivao to exist, and ho had come to aegoaiot the People with them. Mr. Wbituoy, too, was very wisely making himself person- ally known to the people in the West, They (0000 very glad to have him with thous, and he asked that a good hearing should be givou to him. Major 1300k, of Goderich, Iooal condi. date for West Huron, 2800 first called upon and spolni for about five minutes, He had come simply to hear the loader, ho saki, and not to talk himself. At the last Federal elections ono of the chief orio5 of the Liberals was that the Con- servative Government had been too long in power. The same argument could now be used for 1)010ng out the Liberal Government iu Ontario. The Preview, he was of the opinion, was stirred to its depth in opposition to the preseut Ad- ministration, and as the 0onservatives had a young, vigorous and capable leader he felt assured that there would bo e change of Government after the next Provincial elections. Dm. WIIITNLY'S ADDRESS. In introducing 111r. Whitney the Chair. roan asked for en attentive and silent hearing, as tato leader's voice was not in very good condition, Earlier iu the clay doubts had beau entertained whether 110 could speolc at all or not. Iu beginning his address Mr, Whitney expressed his pleasure at meeting snort a large panther of the constituents of South Huron. He was gratified, too et the presence of so many ladies, who, by their attendance, showed their interest iu the country's welfare. He had emus, 110 said, to erit10i80 the deeds of the Govern- ment of this Province, and there was n0 eousbiLuency to which they looked for etroeger 'support than that of South Huron, Ile made 00010 general remarks on party government, declaring this the best government for the interests of the people. The liberties of the nation had boon preserved by the struggles of the two parties. Wo occasionally hoard some talk of too much party, but too much party there could not be. Sometimes, however, there woe too mush party peri• mony. Ito dealt then with the various branches of the Administration, dwelling ohisfly on those of finance stud odnoation, His alhargos regarding the alleged mis. managenlonb of the finances of the Prov - 11100 wore rho 5113)10 as wore urged a0the former meetings. Tics argued that the envies loft by Sandfleld Macdonald had boon (110sipate1 and bile Government had gone on 1nor00010g the expenditure la MOSS of the income of the Province until the timber 0000urces, which wore called on to moot the recurring dofieibs, were N003101111y exhausted and the flee. plc were 111reetened with the !pecten of direct taxation, IIo charged the Govern. menti with having borrowed money and with living oonoealocl the fact from the people, Eno also charged them with (emotionab'lo methods of distributing inonoys, and cobalt—led that 5omo yoa10 ago the funds appropriated for ool011i.

TI111 eorctTION 1'11PAl(THh:x'0. In speaking of the Department of Education he urged the need of further strengbheui» g of the P11bllo Schools, and giving the 00 per cent. of the people who bega11 and ended their ed nation mh them a large quantum of teaching. Ho 0011- lowled that 010 changing of the school books so often was a severe tax no the poolceto of rho people, and these changes were made for the benefit of talose wbo compiled the books and drew largo royalties from their sale. He spoke with condemnation of the Czar -like power of the Minister of l;dllcation, and his nlotil- od9 of conducting the department on the principle et a political machine. He said that if he and hie eollengae5 succeed. ed to power they would remedy all these evils, or at least rdo if 30130(1 the people shoulrl given he same vordicb regarding them as regarding their Predecessors. The license system, the Agricultural Department and the mining law as operated by the G000rn1T1ent came in for severe condemnation, Mr. Whit- ney touched 0n the charge made against the present Opposition that 16 was com- posed of iecompotents, and he said that if the members of the Opposition did not compare favorably with the members ou the Government side, from Mr. Hardy down, then Heaven help then!, He evoke with scorn of thio egotism of 3110 Liberals iu rho House who tried to exalt themselves by decrying their opponeut0. Ile felt ooulldent that the people of the Province would declare against the pres- ent Government at the approaching oleo. tions, and he asked South Enron to help to swell the Conservative victory. Thomas Magwood epolce briefly and touched on ln0tt905 111 a general way, and Henryl;ilber, the candidate for South Enron, closed the meting i11 a short speech, in which 11e express031 the utmost oonfidouce that he himself would be elected, and that Mr. Whitney would be Premierthe loot, The m meeting closed 371111 ho 00ng 001 cheers, ('lll'Itl'JI (11)(Jll11 .
