gallery and i. received . a . tremendous
ovation. When Sir Join -rose to speak
was the signal for o re of the wildest—
perhaps the wildest—greeting that was
ever accorded a pnbilic man. Clieer fol-
lowed cheer, the allidiente waved nap-
kins until the ground floc* was a eea of
white, men stfaod o 1 chairs - and tables
and yelled and chetlrecl, others stamped
with both feet and elattered knives with
deafening remelts ; I the . uproar lasted
probably, twenty minutes, and only
quieted down to be rerieved again and
again.
. Sir John spoke fo l• an' hour. Among
other things he told of how he received
the notice that. th G. C. B. had been
conferred upon hins He ras, he said,
entering the colonia4l offi e by • appoint -
Ment, when a let.terl was placed in his
hands.. It was frp Mr. Gladstone tell-
ing' him I that her Majesty had been
pleased to confer the Order on him.. Sir
John spoke on the topic of imperial fed-
eration shortly, He .said that it 'a
question for di cues oo; and his proposal
is btiefly a fed ratiqn by treaty,. without
a Federal Parliame4t, and guaranteeing
the autonomy of eadh meniiet. This, he
said, would make E glae0 the -police of
the world. Eager ing 'fadependence he
said he wouldrot h ve it they never
l
could have it w thou bloodshed. He inti-
mated pretty elainly that Conservatives
would appeal • to a, ms 111 support of
British connee ion., &nd dealt at length
with the 'argil entslagair t a* 'severance
from the mother country. Annexation
he did not think w rth discussing.
The festivities las. e.d.uptil a very late
hour, and brought tio a diose the most
successful convention ever held by the
