The ConServative Meeting at Go clerich: The Coil se r v a aye dettionitratiou held (;oderich on Friday° ev«.+i-nr• last waS a success in every respect. TI7e weather was favthsable, the attendance was large and the meeting was ELS (Viet and order- ly as:: the most ecruptilous'. conki desire. The' Meetiiig was. held in the roller skating rink. This building is 120 feet long and 63 feet wide, arid it was seated to aceoinmodate 2,500 people. The seats were all filled and there were prob- ably about 300 people standing in the passageways and seated in other ways as hest they could around the building, no that the entire atteudance may be put down at between 2,500 and 3,000. About one-third of the seats were oceu- pied by belies. Sir John and the Hen. Messrs. White, Thompson, and Mr. W. R. Meredith, accompauied by a number of Goderich friends dro-ve out to .4 Dungannon, 12 miles from the- county town, mid held Et meeting there in t le afternoon_ They were somewhat 1' te in returning, and it was considerably after the appointed hour when they reachhd the hall. Lang before that time, however, tile habi was pecked full and. roans even fer standihg was at a premium. The ushers, generalled by Messrs. Ban and Addison, did every- thing in their power to accommodate the crowd, but they could net possibly make roam when there was no room to be had; and, consequently many had to stand during the entire evening.; On the platform, besides the speakers, were seated several clergymen besides prominent members of the party, amongst wham we hoticed Mr. Thomas Farrow, M. P. for East Huron; Mr. M. Hutchinsou, Goderich ; , Mr. Joseph Kidd, Dublin ; Mr. Thos. E. Hays; McKillop ; Mr. Thos. Kidd, Seaforth ; Mr. 'W. R. Davis, Mitchell; and others. The hall was tastefully decorated with evergreens, banners and mottoes and presented a very nice appearance. The first of the speakers. to arrive were Hon. Mr. Thompson ' and Hon. - Thos. White. They were escorted to the platform by Mr. Wm. Campbell, President of the West Hlif011 'Conserva- tive Assoeiation. Shortly after Sir John Macdonald and Mr. Meredith arrived, and they were escorted to the platform by Mr. V. W. Johnston. The several ministers as they arrived were warmly greeted. by "thee audience, mad the cilium -Mg and waving of handker- chiefs and ettannotion was especially pronouneed when Sir John made his ap- pea,nmee. But the rcceptien was, upon the whole, taint: C011iltlertng the immense_ audience. The time was when such a crowd would have almost raised the roof atr the building in honor of sueh an event.

The meeting- in every reepeet was well con- ducted, and it is rare that so large a gathering ie so unierly, and that sogttle is said to offend the most sensitive. The ehair was occupied by --Mr. F. W. John- ston, of Godericht who in a brief but -neat speech inurodaced the guests to the audience. During the evening also, ad- . dresses from the Liberal Conservative Association of Goderich were presented to Mr. Meredith trail Sir John Macdon- ald, These addresses were -read by Mr. Wna.

An election had recently 8 been held in Princer &nerd Island, the issue on which it was fought being the abolition of the Legislative Council or the second chamber. The Conservative party were in favoisof abolishing the Council, and they were defeated in the elections. Such, however, was the hy, pocrisy and cant of the Grits that they actually were congratulatieg the Prince Edward Island Reformers for achieving. a victory on. the very question to which they themselves took' objection. .
