the electors; of the East Riding of Huron
who had assembled to hearnon. Farrow

ship and give /I review of the Conservative
policy and to criticize the policy of the Op
position.
The speaker of the evening waa introduc-
ed by Wm. Elliott, who bad been voted
chairman of the meeting. Mr. Farrow in
rising to speak was received with hearty
cheers. He said lie regretted that Rfr.
Cameron could not be perertaded to put in
an appearance ae he had some thiugs to
say to him which he would like to say to
his fuss. He was not afraid to meet Mr.
Cameron. Be had specially invited Mr,
Cameron to meet him but conld not get him
to do so. The work which he would indi.
sato for to -night, would bo a defence of theN. N. P., an explanation of where the dollars
„went and the 0 P. R. The N. P. was a
success in me far as it made Canada some-
thing more than a dumping ground for
Yankeeproducts; had prevented the strang.
ling of our manufacturers, and lifted Can.
adieus from their narrow bones before the
Americana tn their feet ready to talk red.
prosily in an independent business position.
About the money spent by our administra-
tion, we have vent a good deal but we
have something to show for it, We have
not fooled the money away on Goderioh

was large was because the Provincee of Brit.
ifili Columbia, Prince Edward Island and

tion with heavy debts, which were assumed
by the Dominion and Ontario and Quebee
were relieved of a ten million dollar burden
in the same way. He quoted from the pub.
tic accounts to show that Ontario bad re.
ceived from the Dominion 20 millions of
dollars and this in the face of all this cry of
'Robbery.' A. few stanzas of "Ontayreeo 1"
"Ontayreeo," recited just hereeetthe crowd
off in prolonged laughter and applause,
With reference to the 1.P.R. we have spent
78 million dollars for what Mr. McKenzie
tried hard to accomplish, but in vain, for
125 millions, and we have not added to
your burden. You pay no tax on your tea,
nor office, nor newspapers, nor buy stamps
any more for notes, yet you did all of these
things when MoKetzia was Prime Minister,
No doubt many here have abused the 0 P.
R. yet you all Grit and Tory are etraining
, every nerve to bring it into your town.
Anyone present who don't wont to hear the
whistle of the 0.P.R. bore in opposition to
the Grand Trunk hold up your hand. No
hands. Well you like the 0.P.R. The three
hours speech wee concluded by a stirring
reference to the Biel question. The atten.
tion of the audience to this part of -Ur.
Yarrow's speech and the rousing applause
which was awarded to hie many good hits

The Londod Free Prete says ;—
A, oonple of years since a reporter of
the Hamilton Spectator endeavored
to convict 0. G. Martin, a jeweller
of Blyth, on the charge of selling and
offering to sell begin money, which
Martin had been doing under the as-
sumed name of W. A. Garland. The
game he worked was a deliberate
swindle, somewhat similar to the saw-
dustowindle, that flourished to it great
extent in the States some years ago.
Martin had ne bogus money, though
he doubtless made hundreds of fool -
lab peeple believe that he had, profit.
ing well by their credulity. However,
in the face of the strongest evidence
against bis he was found not guilty
on two indictments made against
him. The Martin family flourishes
strong in Huron County, and their
influence got him off. Tho jurors
subsequently explained their failure
to convict by saying that be was
somewhat shy in intellect, and made
himself a criminal, not for profit, but
because he knew no better. If this
is the reason trouble does not seem
to have given him knowledge. Short.
ly after his arrest he removed to
Luoknow, and for months past the
country has been flooded with the old
circulars offering doss, twos, flvea
and tens in unlimited quautity. The
address given was drawer 41, Luck -
now, Onb. These circulars came un-
der the notice of Provincial detective,
Jos, E. Rogers, who Made various
attempts to nab Martin again. Cun
-
ning Martin fought shy for a long
while. After considerablis inquiry
blas astute detective found a man in
Guelph who had sent Martin $1O,
but bad received no reply. Roger;
induced him to write again and 'ask
what he could get for another $10.
In a couple of days Martin wrote that
he would send $800 for this sum.
The $10 was tent and the bill was
marked. More, the letter was ac-
companied by a DISC, who watched
drawer 41 and finally saw the letter
taken from there by 0. G. Martin's
young brother. He followed the
brother, and saw him hand the letter
to 0. G. Martin, and saw 0. G. Mar-
tin read it and stow it away. Con.
elusive evidenoe tins, but better fol.
lowed. A week elapsed and the in-
dividual in Guelph got no reply,
Then Detective Rogers appeared
again upon the scene, and made
things interesting for lir. Martin.
The detective swore out a warrant
charging Martin with offering
forged bank notes ; with ready.
ing money under false pretenses,
and with inciting the Guelph individ•
nal to commit a felony by pnrehasing
forged' bank notes. Last Wednesday
evening the detective went to Luok-
now, and on Thursday morning he
arrested him in hit store. Martin
looked as if lightning had struck him
far an instant, but reoovered enough
to protest his innocence vigorously
find make an extensive kick when
Rogers undertook to search the safe
the safe. He became so violent in
his objeotions that he had to be hand-
cuffed. The safe yielded 300 circul-
ars, a large amount of letters from
victims and a pile of crisp new Dom-
inion $1 bills that he used for sam-
ples. His dodge was' to cut a piece
off a bill and eencl it as a specimen of
his stuff. Besides this, in Martin's
pocketbook was found the identical
marked $10 bib dent from Guelph.
The priaoner was taken to Guelph
and had his preliminary trial Thine -
day. Eie was ()cremated on all three
charges in the warrant and bail was
refused. As Guelph is not in Huron
County it ie probable that this enter-
prising gentleman "will be kept out
of mischief forib while.
The following is a oopy of the sir -
online used by Martin :—

"Father J. 7. Upchurch,” the
founder of the A.O.U.W. Order, is the
eon of a North Carolina farmer, and
was bent in that State Eboli Sixty-
six years ago. He wae brought up
on a farm, but when seventeen years
of age he came to Pennsylvania and
worked ae a millwright at Bethlehem.
Later he opened a temperanoe ho•
tel at Raleigh, N. C., but had to close
it for lack of custom. He then went
to work for the Raleigh d Gaston
Railroad Cempany. From that
time until recently he has occupied
many important positions in the
machinists' departments of various
railroad corporatione. He held the
position of master mechanic of the
Mine Hill & Sehuykill Railroad, but
being seized with the petroleum fev-
er epeut two years and sunk con-
siderable money on, Oil Creek. After
working for the Badwin L000motive
Works in Philadelphia and the Pen.
riejlvania Railroad at Altoona in
1867 he moved to Meadowville, where
ho organized the first lodge of the
A.O.U.W. Hie first idea was to or-
ganise a society to establish- a better
relationship than than existed between
employer and employee, to avoid strik-
es and create sympathetic feeling be..
twoen capital and labor. Hie idea,
however, developed in another direc-
tion, that of fraternal oo-operativo as -
augment ineuranco, although he still
retained the name ho had first ohosen,,
that of United Workmen. In hie
most enthusiastic) moments he esti-
mated that the order might grow to a
membership of 5,000 to 10,000, and
the old man is fairly bewildered at the
remarkable growth of it, the total
membership in the United Stateigand
Canada being abouf156,000. 'Father'
Upchurch is /IOW quite a hero, par.
ticnlarly in the west. During a vitt

COLD, COLDER, OOLDEST.--A letter from
Kamm, dated /3arveyville, Jan, 26th, after
referring to minor matters, says :—I have

so stormy, nothing has ever been known
like it before. Our stormgenerally last
