large and enthusiastic audience in Bar-
field, as that which greeted him and
his eloquent assistant, Dr. McDonald,
M.P., on Monday evening. The town
ball was filled with electors, many of
whom were from the surrounding
country, while some thirty ladies paid
a fitti,rg to the speakers, by gracing
the gallery with their presence. Mr
Tames Camphell was appointed
man. There was no representat
Mr Weismiller present. Mr McLean.
was the first speaker, and after making
a complimentary reference to the la-
dies he briefly reviewed his more per-
sonal qualifications for the Legislature,
referring to his 15 years' experience in
municipal matters, while his opponent
had never occupied a position of trust
under the people. He reviewed the
course taken by the Ontario Govern-
ment, in the expenditure of the public
money, and drew some very pointed
comparisons between the extravagance
at Ottawa and the economy at Toron-
to. He answered fully every charge
inade by Mr Weismiller' at his meeting,
and was very ably assisted in remem-
bering them by our old friend, Mr Geo.
