The Conservatives had their own way with the meeting, and everything was in their favor. have been one of the strongest Conserva- tive meetings ever held in the District.

The great surprise of the meeting was when the Hon. J. R. MeLean made an attempt to defend the acts of the Peters Government. He failed in every effort to uphold the actions of his Government,

and his attempt to excuse his own depart- |

ment made the sensation of the hour. When charged with the Morell Bridge

contract and many other such shady trans- actions he had nothing to say.

Mr. Morson distinguished himself by carrving everything before him. He showed himself to bean able and fluent speaker. He made it pretty plain to the electors that the Peters Government was the most extravagant, tyrannical and cor- rapt government that ever held power in thix Province. He nailed his opponents on every point, and was loudly cheered. His election is more than assured.

Mr. Robertson, who a-ked to give an account of the dollars that Peters and Kickham failed to “ale of debentures. Bat on this point he had no answer to give, nor did he make any attempt to explain the matter.

Mr. John Kickham made a_ very practical speech, and showed his opponents how strong he was on his points, able to make some telling shots and he re- ceived a grand welcome from the farmers of the district.

Mr. Currie’s nice little speech was most unmercifully rubbed out by John Me- hean, M. P., who followed him. No comment is hecessary. Mr. cLean wa: at his best. He exposed the feeble attempts made to defend the Peters Government, and Jeft not a shred of Mr. Carrie’s speech to be re- membered.
