crowd assembled in Pickard's hall,
Homesville, to hear the McCarthy
candidate. Mr. J. H. Lowery, at local
pedagogue, ,occupied the chair. The
first speaker, Mr. Murdock, a. wan of
all trades, dealt chiefly on where he
had been ; feats of he and his brother
in Michigan ; games he played whet] he
went to school; winding up with a
vee, truthful statement, that thera
were better speakers to follow. Next
•followed Mr. Hoover, a monument
man of Clinton, speaking with p"ofess-
ional enthusiarn on independence of
politics, etc. The candidate followed,
reading extracts from history from
Queen Mary's reign to the present,
extracts from Catechism, parts of the
school act to snit and worked in some
Irish wit'itnd'humor, denouncing Sir
Charles Tupper and his policy. where-
in he untruthfully stated that the
duty on goods coating from England
is greater than the duty on the same
articles corning frrnn any other coun-
try. The statement of coarse is
absolutely not true, as there is only
one duty and no mention is made of
any country. The uieeting htoke up
with three cheers for the Queen, also
for the candidate, which was feebly
responded to by West Huron electors.
The meeting all through resembled a
school boys stump speech.

large meeting in the Port on Saturday
evening last, the hall being crowded to
the do3rs. R, Reynolds and M. G.

and strongly in favor of the Conserva-

of ono, ae the Globe gave it some years
ago. No doubt between Tupperites,
\lcCarthyitee, Laurierites and Patron-
ites, it will be difficult to know who
will hold the ribbons when the House
meets at Ottawa. My prediction is
fur "The old Cumberland war horse."
