VANCOUVER, Nov. 19—In two of the greatest political meetings in the history of ithe conservative party ln Vancouver, premier McBrlde and attorney general Bowser reviewed the Issues of the dampalgn tonight. Both the Dominion and O'Brien halls, the largest available halls ln .the city were packed to the doors, Messrs. McBrlde and Bowser each opening and closing the meetings which were alao 'addressed by the other four conservative candidates. Both the premier and the attorney general received most remarkable receptions. Cheering and singing preceded and followed the first appearance and the opening and dosing addresses ot each, particularly the premier, ln the overflow meeting at the O'Brien hall which the premier closed, women stood on chairs outside the open door to beam his last word. It was the climax ot a tour which the premier said was a remarkable succession of campaign sue- FKoedliw a lucid explanation ot the radlway policy, the' premier (took sir Chkvles Hlbbert Tupper to task on his Revelstoke speech. There six* Hlbbert had professed loyalty and allegiance to the conservative party In British Columbia up to the announcement of the railway policy. But the premier could recall when a few years ago the ser- vloes of all men in the party were re> quired and where was Tupper? No- where to be found. In a bye-election In Llllooet some few years ago liberal pa* pen had heen distributed with columns ofl Tupper who then, added the premier, called this a star chamber government. But nevertheless we won that hye-elec- t,on- .... "Why," continued*the premier, 'sir Hlbbert talks as though we wanted him. Yes and he talks aa though his heart Weeds for better terms. Why, If the man was worth a button, may I say, he could have ln Pictou in Nova Scotia started a campaign to inform the people at the other end of the dominion, upon 'this great question of better terms for tne provinces, particularly British Columbia. Tot today Messrs. Tupper, Wade and Ollvei^-a remarkable trio— were together In their effort to mislead the people upctn the Issues and particularly on the railway policy. It is this misrepresentation and mis-statement of fact which has all but ruined the liberal party in British Columbia, defeated Templeman In Victoria and Ross and other liberal candidates." The premier In reviewing the administration and railway policy spoke in all three hours ln the two halls, giving details ot both railway agreements. Speaking on the question of finances, he once paused to observe that neither Manitoba nor Alberta nor Saskatchewan own the'fr crown lands as we do, the terms of union with the Domlon being different to ours. Today if we chose to do it we could eell to. one of the many colonisation companies from whom letters have been received at Victoria containing offers for 50,i 000,000 acres of crown lands for 11 an acre, and within 14 days have |G0,- 000,000. Yet Tupper, Oliver and Wade would have the jteople believe thla railway bargain will ruin our credits Cries ot Not No! and applause.) The premier reiterated that the government would have control ot freight rates on the Canadian Northern and by competition those ot the C. P. R., and he declared that on terminals In Vancouver $5,000,000 would be spent, while ln all $40,000,000 would be expended ln British Columbia ln four years on the two railways. Hon. W. J. Bowser, after an able review of the Issues, stated that he had sent out a challenge to Duncan Ross, who at that moment was speaking in a ctty hall, to meet him on the public platform in Vancouver on Monday or Tuesday nights at meetings. Mr. Bowser will attend and "there," added Mr. Bowser, "I hope he will say tp my face what he has been bold enough to say behind my hapk in regard to the Goto contract," NO ENTANOLING ALLIANCES. Gnat Britain and United States Only Ask Mutual Good Will. •LONDON. Nov. lB.-The Pllgrlml' bo- cletyof London gav* a farewell dinner to* night to John Hldgely Carter, former secretary to the United-States embassy here, on the occasion of his departure for his ne-*Mboflt as minister to Roumanla, Seivla and-'-Bulgaria. Many prominent Englishmen and Americans attended the function. Sir Mortimer Durand, former British ambassador to the United States, -presided, and proposed the. toast to King Edward ' and President Taft. during which he paid a high tribute to the American executive. In 'addressing the banquetters, Sir Mortimer said: i i,.. "We In England know that If there Is ono principle dear to the American i heart. It Is ths principal laid down by Washing ton, no entangling alliances. It ls the best possible principle for a country so situated. We know we have no right ever to expect your help in'' our quarrels, or even to take It for granted that we must always have your sympathy. Neither nation needs to ask more of the other than good will. The Amei'lcan republic and the British empire are strong enough to fight their own battles. As long as union endures there is no power on earth that can seriously trouble your peace of mind." MAKING GOOD PROGRESS HOU8E OF COMMONS DISPOSING OF ESTIMATES.

B- Foster made a general criticism- of the expenditures of the government, which he said were growing at such a rate as to be alarming. Hon. W. S, Fielding, in reply, said the expenditures, If measured by growth ln trade and revenue, would stand favorable comparison with the peilod when the Conservatives were in power. Karli' ln the session Mr. Foster made Inquiry as to the possibility of getting more Information in respect to the imperial defence conference, and was told by Sir Wilfrid Laurier that everything had been produced which the imperial authorities were willing to have made public, Hon..

WRIGHT'S ROUSING RALLY Successful Meeting in Interests of Conservative Candidate for Nelson Held Last Evening in Eagles' Hall at Which Issues of Day Are Discussed —Public Meeting in Same Place This Evening It in any mimd a doubt lingered as to the universal popularity of Harry Wright, the conservative candidate In Nelson, or as to the prospects of his securing an overwhelming majority on Nov. 25, It must have been effectually dispelled last night by a glimpse of the conservative nally that was- held in the Eagles' hall. There enthusiasm and good spirits reigned supreme and the gathering which filled the spacious hall, listened with attention and evident interest to remarkably effective (tnd stirring speeches by W. A. Macdonald, K.O. of Vancouver, who is well known and highly acceptable to Nelson audiences, by Harry Wright, Nelson's next representative in the legislature and by W. A. Chesley, another staunch supporter of the McBrlde government. Hearty and spontaneous was (he applause which greeted the speakers and which punctuated the addresses. The gathering was unmistakably Im complete accord with the sentiments expressed and determined to leave no stone unturned to secure -an overwhelming triumph on election day for Harry Wright and the cause that he represents. Throughout, the meeting gave unmistakeable evidence of the vitality of the conservative party foil Nelson and of public appreciation of the Issues at stake. Owing to delay in the arrival of the Grow boat, on which W. A. Macdonald wag travelling to Nelson, the meeting began later than the time originally intended, but the unfortunate occurrence was powerless to dampen the ardor of the meeting and the commencement of the speaking was patiently awaited. The chair was takeni by W. Irvine, who introduced W. A. Chesley as the first speaker. Mr, Chesley gave an admirable address. He pointed out the specially favorable terms of the McBrlde railway agreement by which the C.N.R. line would be secured without the cost of a single dollar of public funds, and showed the illogical attitude of liberals who contended that the guarantee of bonds would be a burden to the province and also that the construction off the line was Inevitable without provincial alg. He showed how the McBride government had placed the finances of the province on a sound foundation, and alluded to the anxiety of the opposition to he In a position to handle the funds that the government had husbanded. He sketched the history of the construction of the Central railway by liberals iui New Brunswick, where °ldiie GETS FOURTEEN AWARDS BRITISH COLUMBIA TAKES 18 PER CENT OF ALL PRIZES FOR PLATE FRUIT—BOX OF F.

' Mta aanananm MMTWt tjfte HfcrtlB pew». SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20 Northern British Columbia, tiife Mecca of the Farmer, Stockman, and Homebuilder ( Letter from Mr. George L. Brown.) - - I felt Seattle Wednesday, August 4th, 1909, for the northern British Columbia country, went by way ofl Vancouver iu order to take up some parties there and arrived lit Ashcroft Aug. 6. From there I drove with my own teams, to Soda creek, 165 miles. At Soda creek I embarked for Quesnel on the river steamer Charlotte, owned by James Reid, Ltd., of Quesnel. At Quesnel took saddle horses and went to the Black- water country, from which point I rode south and examined the country thoroughly. The best farming country begins at Soda creek and follows the windings of the Fraser river clear to iFort George on both sides of the river. Everywhere the growth of vegetation was of the rankest kirad. I had been told of the luxuriance of the vegetation in that northern country, but was not prepared to see sueh a superabundant growth extending over such a broad extent of territory. Wild pea vine, vetch, red top, clover and timothy, and other kinds of grasses the names of which I am not familiar with grew everywhere. This wild growth would reach to my saddle stirrups and it affords the most nutritious food for live stock imaginable. Stock everywhere In evidence was rolling fat amd as a stock grazing country it haa no superior. For reasons that may be quite obvious to the reader that country has never been cultivated to any great extent. Its remoteness from markets nnd the lack of transportation facilities have placed an embargo on production that could not be overcome except by the building of railways, but now since the Grand Trunk Pacific railway is assured, the world is beginning to comprehend its enormous capabilities and possibilities and a rush of settlers will begin that will eclipse anything known in the history of the Great Canadian west. Why? Because no finer farm land lies out of doors than that in the great valleys and plateaus of northern British Columbia, tributary to tlie Grand Trunk Pacific road across the continent. Because that magnificent region offers inducements to the farmer and stock raiser not possessed by any of the prairie provinces. It is, at, once, pre-eminently a grain growing, a stock raising, a fruit, a dairy and a mining country all in one. In fact, its resources are as varied as they are enormous amd incomparable. In short, for mixed farming which pays better than any one line, there Is none better. Aa a mineral country it possesess untold wealth, amd, climatically, it has no superior. Its rainfall is not excessive, yet enough precipitation occurs to keep the ground moist and produce good and never falling crops. It is subject to mo blizzards and no such low temperatures prevail as are common to the prairie provinces and which make living a hardship. Its beautiful mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and streams combine to produce the most beautiful landscape effects. It is one vast game preserve. Deer, caribou, moose, mountain sheep, and goats, bear, black, brown and grizzly, feathered game, both water fowl and upland birds, salmon, trout -Mid white fish in marvellous abundance Ln* the lakes, rivers, ond creeks make it the sportsman's paradise. Hitherto, except to the hardy mountaineer, trapper and prospector, that country of mighty distances has been comparatively unknown. Forty to fifty years ago the miner and prospector was beguiled by the thirst for gold and by laborious marches trekked over pathless mountain ranges, forded dangerous mountain, torrents at the risk of his life and underwent hardships and privations that taxed the strength, endurance and hardihood of the stoutest hearts for the lure of gold. Cariboo and Cassiar, then considered as remote from the haunts of men as Dawson and the Tanana in these latter days, drew thousands to their wlldB. Many filled their pockets with gold. Some came back poorer than' they went. Now.the wilderness is being linked with the marts of commerce by bands of steel and the boundless hills and vales, will, within a few short years, yield their wealth to the undaunted empire builder in the form of golden grain and fruit; and stock will roam over its limitless hills green with the grasses that nature put there for the countless herds and flocks of the future. Prosperous farms and flourishing towns and cities will spring up as If touched by tbe magic wand of some mighty magiciaav and where the vast and silent wilderness existed as an unknown quantity the hand of man will have transformed it into cultivated fields, 'neath smiling skies and the whistle of the locomotive and river and lake steamer and the sound of the hammer and saw will succeed the whistle of ,the curlew and the barking of the coyote. In that great domain where the wilderness will be made to blossom as the rose in the next few years, there are 200,000 farms simply waiting the hand of the husbandman to develop their rich areas and make their possessors rich men. Here Is wealth and health for the man of thrift, energy, determination and am- httion. Thousands and teng of thousands of good, industrious, sterling men are struggling for an existence in- tihe world—able men—capable men. Is It necessary? No! Not f°r a"- It Is rendered necessary, seem -tagly by an Immutable law of nature for some men to toll and for others to thrive and succeed on tbe fruits of that toil Just as beasts, birds and fishes of prey thrive and fatten and gorge on the weaker and resistless parts of animate nature, but to the fearless, brave and ambitious man success lies Just beyond •seemingly insurmountable Impediments to human effort and success lies in the broad, fertile and resourceful areas of northern British Columbia for thousands of sturdy and dauntless mem and women and what is more precious than ell, health as well as wealth Is to be found In its valleys among its mountains and along Its beautiful lakes, rivers and streams. • British Columbia will undergo a much more rapid growth than Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta ever did because it Is a country of vaster and more varied resources and because its climatic conditions are not subject to such extreme and rigorous alterations. The valleys of the Fraser, Bulkeley, Stewart Jake, Francois lake, Ootsabunket, Nechaco, Klsplox, Chllcotln and many others will be speedily transformed from rolling hills, billowy with luxuriant wild grasses Into smiling farms dotted with innumerable happy and contented homes. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact that the country from Soda creek to Quesnel is the only natural, logical and feasible route for the building of the Vancouver extension of the Grand Trunk Pacific line from Fort George south. That, with Its natural resources and the advantage of water transportation In addition to rail, the country will grow by leaps and bounds. That the present and future travel to the interior of British Columbia to reach the Grand Trunk Pacific lime and the valley through which it will extend will he by the way of Soda creek and Quesnel and on to Fort George, tbat being the shortest, quickest and cheapest route. Therefore as a logical sequence the first, most rapid and permanent development will naturally begin and continue along that line of least resistance. Theabove isanother sample of letters by men of large experience who have lately examined the land tributary to Fort George. Every man man who has seen this magnificent country unanimously proclaims Fort George the natural distributing center and tbe next large city of the west. Prince Rupert lots have nearly all doubled in value since the sale a few months ago. About five million dollars has been invested. Single lots sold as high aB $18,000. Prince Rupert has so far only one railway in sight. Fort George has lines projected In every direction. Great stretches of agricultural land make the most solid foundation for a city. In this respect Fbrt George stands pre-eminent. Buy before the rush, Have a few lots to offer the eager thousands who will soon be rushing to the coming great city.

C„ Nov. 19.—The campaign here ls so strongly ln favor of W. R. Braden that It Is almost Impossible to get the liberals to back their candidate with their coin, even when large odds are offered. There are large sums of Braden money ln sight but no takers. It is conceded that the socialist can* didate will poll a larger vote than the liberal, and It ls more than likely that Dr. English will lose his deposit. A public meeting ln the Interests ot W. R. Braden, conservative candidate, will be held tomorrow night at which R. S. Lennie of Nelson and Ales Sharp will be the chief speakers. Braden's majority will likely be run 'up to 100.

EXECUTION OF AMERICANS Nlcaraguan President May be Called to Account for It WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-r-A. tense situation exists today as the result of the execution of the two Americans, Cannon and Grace in Nicaragua hy order of president Zelaya. The state department, having been now for nearly 48 hours in possession of the main facts of the case, has adopted am attitude of reserve amd Is awaiting some sort of an explanation from the Nlcaraguan government. It is fairly assumed that the press dispatch received last night ilrom Managua is accurate in the statement that the men were executed after a court martial on a charge that they had attempted by the use of dynamite mines to blow up some of president Zelaya's troop transports. If the department's advices confirm this story the question, at issue will be whether the charge against the men, assuming it is proved, justified their execution. Probably everything will depend upon the method pursued by Cannon and Grace in their attempts upon Zelaya's forces. If it should appear that the Americans slipped within the lines of the government forces under disguise when they planted their mines, they might be regarded as spies and so be subject to summary execution. But If they engaged In their work openly It will probably b© held that they should have been held as prisoners of war on the theory -that an attack upon •a ship by a mine is an act of lawful warfare. In the latter case there Is no doubt that president Zelaya will be called to account a.nd ample reparation demanded. New Volcano.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound —for thirty years these reports have been published all over America. Without great merit this medicine could never have gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills— never could have become known and prized in nearly every country in the world. Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that which will restore her health ? If you believe those who have tried it you know this medicine does cure. Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to cure you. Canifton, Ont.—"I had teen a great sufferer for five years. One doctor told me it was ulcers of the uterus, and another told me it was a fibroid tumor. No one knows what I suffered. I would always he worse at certain periods, and never was regular, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. I was very ill in bed, and the doctor told me I would have to have an operation, and that I might die during the operation. I wrote to my sister about it and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Through personal experience I have found it the best medicine in the world for female troubles, for it has cured me, and I did not have to have the operation after all. The Compound also helped me while passing through Change of Life."—Mrs. Letitia Blair, Canifton, Ontario. For 30 years Lydia E.

C. •SIR HIBBERT WRITES The Cranbrook Herald In its last issue gives prominence to a letter froni sir Charles Hlbbert Tupper attacking jbe McBrlde government's railway policy and it is only fair say that a weaker dissertation on a public question has never been penned by any public man in Canada of eir Hlbbert's ability and standing. Probably the weakness of the cause he bas espoused, however, has something to do witli the character of tlie letter. A perusal of the letter reveals on sir Hibbent's part a well defined amlmoslty to both the MoDride government and to. the Canadian Northern* ..railway and. presents some facts regarding the Canadian Pacific's attempt to block the Manitoba government's agreement with Mackenzie & Mann which have not up to the present been public property and which, La the interests of the cause he is supporting at the moment, should have ■been le-St for the private Information of the Canadian Pacific and Its friends. The only point which str Hlbbert mak*e against the government's railway policy, if point It can be called, is the contingent liability which the province assumes in connection with IU guarantee ol the Cauadiun Northern's bonds. He also, it may be said, takes the ground that no railway should receive assistance from the government of British Columbia for any line which it may build. With sir Hlbbert's animosity to the McBride government, which has existed now for some years, in fact practically since that government came Into offloe and was quite apparent ia the general electlona of 1907, when premier Mc- ■Bride was triumphantly returned to power, and with .the fact that his feelings toward the Canadian Northern railway are anything but friendly, the people, df lir-^irj^-Qjambia lfcvcj rtrthlng to thl.

"The Great Jewel Robbery," another interesting picture and Intensely thrilling, especially the escape from 'he penitentiary. The favorite picture on the program is "Sporting Days in the South." This program will be repeated this afternoon at 2.30 and this evening at 7. The Hertcnse Nellsen company are presenting "Magda" at the opera house '.his evening, und for a matinee this afternoon they Swill ofTer "Ghosts." The program last night at the Arcade was in keeping with the usually good set of pictures thut Is put on there, all the subjects being Interesting. They were us follows: "The Dog und Its Merits." "The Sailor's Sweetheart," "The L'ghthouse Keeper," "A Grocer's Dilemna," "Two Gentlemen" and "The Magistrate's Cilme," a very fine and well acted drama. There will be the usual mutinee toduy.at 2 a.m. The free drawing tukes place at the evening show. The pictures for this ufternoon and tonight at the Gem theutre are the classiest yet. The feature subject, Algy and Bwug- ger, or Educated Abroad," Is a high class, comedy, dealing with the experiences of two London swells in New York. The acting and costumes are all that could be desired and the scenic effects are excellent, one scene In particular shows a modern vaudeville theatre In full swing. "He Couldn't Dance," Is the title of another laugh producer that hoIdB out a new Idea to any who are anxious to master the terplschorpan art. "The Empty Sleeve" Is a flue drama ■■based on the, civil- v&r. The battle scene in this subject is p^rtlqll-;' lafly good.

But the province had other great resources that had hawMy been heard of hitherto. IThet sale of 660 acres of land at Point Grey this week had netted $3,000,000, and there were scores of valuable townsltes that would bring nearly as much money as Prince Rupert. Yet some blind liberals, not learning frrfm all the experience of the past, must still oppose. In Manitoba, on the prairie, where there were no obstacles to building in any direction desired, the C. N. R. paralleled the G. P. K., and with government aid—they built, for Instance, from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie, and on to Branton. But In British Col* umbla there was not the element or choice, for there were only certain ports of entry—the Yeliowhead, the Kicking Horse, the Crow's Nest, and the Flathead passes. All railway builders admitted that the Yeliowhead was the best, so objection No. 1 was disposed of. But the best grades were along the Fraser river. The liberal: wanted to build toward the Hope mountains, in a sort of "figure 8," but sucli a line would have to go over a mountain at a 2% per cent grade, against a % per cent' grade at most by the Fraser river route. Railway builders were sacrificing distance to grade nowadays, and a good grade was absolutely necessary In a road that was going to compete. The libera^ said there was nothing in the contract between the C. N. R. and the government about the road being mortgaged to the province as security for the guarantee, "Well, in ordinary business life," said Mr. Macdonald, if I endorse a man's note, and he bas got security for that note, that security is mine also." Or in some cases a government dealt more directly still with a railway company, and on endorsing the bonds, got a direct mortgage. It did seem .as If the liberals could bring nothing but foolish criticisms against the government's railway policy. If It came to the worst, a road that cost $60,000 a mile to build, would become the property of the province un- der a guarantee of $35,000 a mile. The first time Interest was not paid, the road would automatically ^ass over to the province. If'that should happen, the province was strong enough to bear the brunt. The guarantee had not a particle of effect on the province's credit abroad. Look at the assets ln the timber and the mines. The petty criticisms of the liberals were not worth a thinking man's attention, except for the purpose of meeting them, "So let us bring in the C. N. ft/," said Mr. Macdonald, "and get all tbe advantages of a competing road." He had always admired the C. P. R., hut he had a use for another road. Bring in the competing road, and the reduction of rates would automatically follow. Another question asked by liberals was why the G.T.P. Had net been invited instead of the C.N.R. As a mat* ter of fact they had been asked. And they made a proposition to the govern .ment, offering to build Into the central part of the province. But they asked a land grant of 15,000 acres per mile, a 30 years' exemption from taxation uud ■that the province should give up Its right to one-quarter of the towasites. The first condition alone was 03110! to $37,5|00 per mile and not a mere ituar- antee, but a gift outright. The value of the second and third conditions could be seen from the history ofi Prince Ru- l«rt. Was It any wonder the govern ment did not close a deal with the G.T.P.? Mr. Macdonald now spoke for a few minutes on the question of white labor. Men who could criticize the McBrlde government on that point, he said, were either ignorant, or careless, and he preferred to call the liberal speakers careless. The question of having the G.T.P. in British Columbia built by white labor came up ia* the house and J. A. Macdonald, leader of the opposition, proposed a clause providing that only white labor should be employed. It looked very innocent at first, but the government reflected and It was immediately apparent that if the clause went into the act, the act would be disallowed at Ottawa. He would not go so far as to say the liberals proposed the clause with the intention of having the clause disallowed, but they certainly proposed it with the desire to secure a temporary advantage, knowing that the government would have to vote it down. But the government said: "The G.T.P. will have to come to us later for various things, and then we will make an agreement for white labor." The prediction waa fulfilled and now -the G.T.P. was bound by a cast Iron agreement to only employ- white labor In the building of the road within the province. "And If you want proof," declared Mr. Macdonald, "there Is the G.T.P. being built now with only white labor." (Great applause.) Now, the McBride government was going to the country with a record that was unassailable and also with a splendid railway policy. It wtta doing the right thing by the country. But how were the liberals acting? Why, they were pursuing in regard to this great scheme the same old line followed ton 1874 and 1878, in reference to the build, tng of the C.P.R. At the period named, eastern Canada was almost Hit the soup- kitchen stage, and manufacturers were on their knees, but the liberal govemr ment Baid: "We are merely fHea on the wheel." Are ithe people of B. C. going to declare that they are flies on the wheel? asked Mr. Macdonald. Are they going to turn aside from the policy that the other progressive provinces have adopted.and are they., j&lpg tostopltbe wheels of progress?. The liberals, iald -the C.N.R. would^buUt:te.wi(y.ovbnt 8^fe^#WwhBtt? jjjjjWi people of British Columbia propose ta build tills road now, or to leave It to their sons? If the government were defeated, the road -would inevitably be checked. When Mackenzie & Mann went Into the money markets of the world, the financiers would say, "Brit-' Ish OolumiMa turned you down* and would not give you even a guarantee of your bonds, how oan you expect us to buy them?" Mr. Macdonald created great enthusiasm by his concluding reference to Nelson, where he formerly lived. "I have come back, said he, "to see If Nelson ls going to be ln line, and to see If the premier I follow will go back with a Nelson man at his back. You are waging « splendid fight here and by your unanimous nomination you placed In the field a true conservative, who Is getting all your support. But let me warn you, There are insidious Influences at work In* tills campaign here, and they are working behind the scenes. The opposition do not expect to w'fn on their own merits but they hope to win by weaning away conservatives from their party allegiance. Take It from an old campaigner, it is the last vote that wins. Sir John A. Macdonald said two things were mighty uncertain, a horse race and an election.. You do not know your horse has won until he has gone under the wire. See every man, and if one emissary is not enough, send two. "On election light, at the coast, I will look confidently for the message: Nelson has gone conservative. Harry Wright Is our member." (Great applause.) Chairman Irvine (announced that a public meeting would foe held tonight. also In Eagles' hall, which would be addressed by G. H. Barnard, M.P. for Victoria, Mr. Barnard ibeing the conqueror of Hon. Mr. Templeman. "How Is it going at the coast?" w.is the query volleyed from the back of tlie hall, and Mr, Macdonald was able to speak words of great cheer. The government was carrying ttie war into Africa, in other words, the opposition was fighting to hold its seats. "In conclusion," said Mr. Macdonald, "vote for premier McBrlde and you will be voting for your province and for yourselves." The rousing rally broke up with three Cheers for premier McBrlde, three cheers and a tiger for Hairry Wright, and three cheers for Mr. Macdonald and the chairman.

His remarks and those ot his supporters were throughout Intersected with that hearty applause which showed am. cluslvely tiie approval by the people ot Mr. Hunter's representative qualities during the past term and of the government's policy in general and sn assurance ot nls re-election om the 25th.
