pointing delegates to represent the in.-

m
branch comittees throughout the said
townships, which will report to the
Secretary of the Association. Mr. John
Mallough, who occupied the chair, open-
ed. the 'meeting by a, very appropriate
speech, in which he strongly nrged the
necessity of .having the party thoroughly
organized fin- the coming struggle in the
North Riding of Huron, and having a
permanent Association .' He then called
upon Mr. Thomas Farrow to address the
meeting. Mr. Farrow congratulated
those present on the interest taken by
them in the'Conservative cause; and dis-
tinctly stated, if the Conservatives
chose him as their standard. bearer in. C°ItRIE
