Thousands of patients in different paits of the country are now down with INFLUENZA. QUININE is the ONLY SPECIFIC. I This is tested by the experience gained, both in London and Paris, when INFLUENZA first appeared. It ,vai also clearly established that the most convenient form to exhibit QUININE was in the form of GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS. I GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTEKS. This preparation has been nefore the public for twenty yearn, and has succeeded in gaining the highest reputation as an UNFAILING TONIC, being so much appreciated, in a'l places where it has been iven a fair trial, that the demanii for it is inerta-iing day by day. GWILYM EVANS' BITTERS contain a full dose of QUININE in each tablesDoonful. besides the active principles of tha following well-known medicinal herbs SARSAPARILLA. GENTIAN, LAVENDER, BURDOCK, DANDELION and SAFFRON, scientifically preswred. anil c mhined in such happy pro- portions, as to be suitable to all ages at all seasons of the year, and forming a Tonic Bitters POSITIVELY U EQU ALLED GWILYM EVANS' BITTEKS has treated SEVERE CASES of INFI.IJENZI and he.tvy colds with greater success than any known xeiii-(iy. MODS OF ACTION. They strengthen those parts of the system which hive been weakened by disease, and thus make the constitution LESS LIABLE to fu'ure attacks, and thev are specially recommended to those who have alreaiy h id an attack of Influenza. AFTER THE INFLUENZA. AFTER THE INFLUENZ The after effects are often more disagreeable than the malady itself. Tne feeling of depression, low s-pirits, helplessness, and want of go," which afflict the patient, when recovering from an attack of lnfluenzi, are often unbearable. A few doses of GWILYM EVANS' BITTERS taken in time will efftettially drive away this seise of ex- treme helplessness and feeling of misery and weakness SPECIMEN OF TESTIMONIALS. INFLUENZ I.

FOOTBALL. 1 Wrexham come down another place in the Com- I filiation, "11 S:itunlay, when they allowed Chester t > j beat ttitin on the Ivacetinu>p, by tlueenoala to one. The ground was covered with mmv, ar,d rain ai d sieet feii Ihroii^noiit t!ie game. Only thirty-five minutos were played eacli wiky. Wrexham played their nsual team, S..Tones heio!! ill wliilt- Obestrr Wf>r, represented b:, the best J le:Hn they have had out tI'¡ season. From t ie k?k-' ff. \Vrexh:"n we'e ae once danger-   ous, ?t d B. Lewis mi?<fd Hn easy chance d tC?rht?. The hom* team tiil had ilip. best of it for gome I tiiPe, ?nt C?eatfr at last wei t t" the f!nnt and 8c"red with a L 0? ,.hot,. Jones allowing the L?ll: to roll through Itis fit gers. Dirett'y afterwards a second point was added. This appeared to be clearly off-side, but no appeal was made. The teams thus crosstd over with Cheater leading by two Koala to nil. In the second ha.f. the game was evenly contested, both elevens being nearly westing on several occasion*. After several attempts 13 Lewis scored, an-1 it looked M if Wrrxham might just make a drttW of the match. The vi-itors, however, were on thtir mettle, and adding another goal, won by three uoals to one. On the day's play the best team won. and we must congratulate Chester upon having got t >gether such a good eleven, after so many reveries and disappoint- mente. The heavy groitnd und"uv>!edly affected the home team more thHil their opponent*, who played much stronger throughout. Sam Jones, in goal for Wrexham, plnyed a good game, with the exception of the first goal, which he gave to Chester. llobeiti hardly played up to his best form at back. The half-backs appeared to tire on the heavy ground and were not so effective as iiuft). B. Lewis was the best forward. Parry atid Tiiiner put in some go' d work in the held, but did not finish up well before goal. Wilding was quito out of it. For Chester, Cafferky played well in goal and got rid of some nasty low shots. His was well protected by the back:" who both kicked strongly. The half-backs were safe. E. Carty made his ap- pearance again for Ci.e^tjr after a rather long absense, and played his usual rouzli and tumble game. Of the forward*, the left wing pair played very nicely. W. Lewis did not show to much advantage in the centre. The first round of the W elh junior competition was played off on Saturday, and the game?, as a rule, resulted as it was generally expected they would. There were several protects, and some of the matches, including that between Wrexbam Gym- nasium and Saltney Itet;etve, have to be replayed. Bangor and Denbigh played another drawn game in the senior competition, on Saturday. The weather at Bangor was very stormy. The goal posts were blown down, while the ball was more out of play than it was in. The match was ordered by the council to be re- played at Llandudno. We believe, however, that the Llandudno ground is too small, and we under- stand that the tie will be played at Colwyn Bay. The Wrexham club has decided to admit soldiers in uniform, below the rank cf vergaiit, to all their matches, with the exception of cup tits. Chirk play Everton in the Combination, at Chirk, to-day (Saturday.) A special train will leave Wrex- ham at 1.45 p.m. The third round of the Welsh Senior Cup will be played off to-day (Saturday.) Wrexham are endeavoming to get Sunderland to play them on the Monday aft-ir the Christmas Day. Crewe Alexandra, who were t eaten by Xoithwich Victoria in the final qualifying round of the A-ii-ocia- tion Cup, protested against lhJ qualification of A. Wittick, who played for Noithwich, and who, it war alleged had signed for Walsall Swifts in January I&Lt. The protest was considered by the Divisional Com- mittee at Crewe on Monday night. The committee, after hearing the evidence, found Wittick ineligible, and suspended him until February 15th. The match was ordered to be replayed at Crewe on December 29.h.

WELSH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. I -1 A meeting of the council of the Welsh Football Association was held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel I on Tuesday night. There were present—Mr E Phennah, in the chair; Mr Hall, Mr Wilcox, Mr D. I Smith, Mr T. E. Thomas, Mr Cotton, Mr J. Jones, and Mr Taylor, secretary. The tie between Denbigh and Bangor was ordered to he rr-plal ed at Llandudno on Saturday, kick-off at 2.15. Mr Benie, Rhyl, is the referee, and the match has to be played to a tinish. Mr Hall, on behalf of Crewe Alexandra, applied for an extension of time for the tie between Crewe Alexandra and Westminster Itoveis, An extension to December 2Sth was granted. It was decided if Bangor win their tie with Den- bigh, and if they agree to it, that the tie with Chirk may be played on or before January 2nd. A meeting of the sub-committee appointed to manage the junior competition was afterwards held, when several protests arising out of the first round were considered. A protest fiom Brookside Villa, on account of the unfit state of the ground, which had been laid after the match had begun, was dismissed, the fee being returned. Holywell Reserve protested against the state of the ground at Connah's Quay. There was no communica- tion from the referee, but if he confirms the statement of the Holywell Reserve, the match has to be re- played at Connah's Q lay. on or before December 26. Moss White Stars and Buckley Victoria only played 35 minutes, the referee (Mr Humphreys, of Penycae) not turning up. The match is to be re-played on or before December 28, and it was ordered that 91, to be paid to the Victoria, should be the nrat charge on the gate." Mr D. Smith is to be referee. A protest was made by Berse Roveis against the state of the ground at Buckley. The protest was not lodged with the referee on the ground, and it was accordingly dismissed and the fee forfeited. A protest from the Minera Victoria, on the ground I that full time was not played, was dismissed and the fee forfeited. Wrexham Gymnasium lodged a protest against the unfit state of the ground at Saltney before the match began. The protect WfB upheld and the eame ordered to be replayed at Saltney, on or before January 2nd. The draw for the recond round of the Junior Compe- tition is as loliows — riitvr DIVISION.

Wilding kicked off for Wrexham. Turner got possession and pi««e<{ to Parry, who ran along the rjht and ceiitn d. B. Lewis secured and had an ea-y chance of scoring, but he shot wide. A free-kick for Wrexham near the visitors' goal was followed by a corner, which was well sent in but cleared. A free-kick for a foul throw.in by Heyes relieved the pressure for a time. The ball was returned, aid Turner and Parry passed well, but the leather finally went behind. Cxffeity kicked cut a long shot from LPP. A fref-kitk for \Vrexham in mid-field was well put in. B. Lewis heading over the bar. Handa for Chester was followed by a similar advantage for Wrexham. Chettar then ttished away. Off-side was claimed, and nearly all the home team stopped playing. Chester, however, went on, and Ca; ter sent in a fine shot, which J URel4 88yed well, and Lea cleared with a splendid screw kick. After exciting play near the home t:o..l Joneatcored the first point for Cheater with a long sh >t, S. Jones letting the ball slip through his hands. Directly from the kick-off, Cheater were again aggiesrive, ar.d S. Jones saved a good shot from Mun ip. A corner for Chester was sent behind. Soou a fterwnids Walker scored the second goal for Cheater. Wrrxhj-n then played u t), and had hard lines in not scoring on several occasions, Caff erky saving well. B. Lewis got well through, but just failed to score a corner, which was got away, resulted. At the other end an exciting bully took place in (he home goal, but the ball was finally removed i ut of danger, and half-time artiveil with the score-Ciiester, 2 goals Wrexham, nil. On changing ends, after even play, Chester got up and shot outside. Both goals were then visited in succession, but nothing was scored. A free kick against Chester for a foul throw-in looked dangerous, but came to nothing. Parry and Turner passed well along the wing, but could not get through, a comer, which was followed by another, resulting. Nothing tangible followed, however. B. Lewis had very hard lines in nl t scoring on two occasion. A corner for Chester WRS c!eared, and then. after good play on the home right, B. Lewis shot first goal for Wrexham amidst cheers. Hardly had the ball been kicked off from the centre when the Chester forwards got well into the home quarters, and from a nice pass W. Lewis scored the third goal for Clu;¡.t;r. Time directly afterwards arrived with the sc re—Chester, 3 goals; Wrexham, I.-The following were the teams -Clieoter Cafferky, goal; Maidocks and Taylor, backs; Rogersor, E.

■■ ■— ■■ I THE LEAGUE. I Rain and snowstorms were prevalent in the North on Saturday, affecting the football and le-tiening the numbers usually attracted to the League grounds. There were seven fixtures but the Accrington and Aston Villa Clubs gave up their game after a baief time. The successes of Bolton Wanderers and Preston left the leading positions on the League unaltered, Bolton's victory was against Stoke at Stoke. It was by only a goal that the Wanderers won. At Preston the North End's win wp-cj of a far more substantial nature, and Notts, whom they engaged, were beaten by six goals to nil. Notts, when the game was going against them, beat a retreat-at least some of the men did, and, in defiance of the orders of the referee, left but five players to complete the game. This unsportsman- like behaviour will not conduce to the popularity of Notts, whatever steps the League may take to check such action. At Burnley, an even darker incident occurred, as two men came to blows, and were ordered off. libe Blackburn Rovei-3, with the exception of Arthur, the goalkeeper, then left the 6eld, c&uaing the game to be prematurely terminated, and un- pleasant work has thus bean created for both the English Association Council and the League executive. At the time of the stoppage, Burnley were leading by three goals to nil. The Everton Ground was the scene of Everion and Wolverhampton. Everton won by two goals to one, all the scoring being done in the fiist period. The West Bromwicli Albion Eleven, who have not been very foitunate with their League matches, gained a well-earned sue- ess over the Derby team by four goals to two at West Bromwich. At Sunderland the home side won the game with Darwen by seven goals to none.

THE ALLIANCE. -1 Various games of interest in the Alliance, on Saturday, resulted thus :—Not'? Forest beat Bootle by five goals to one, at Not fc.ogham Newton Heath beat Sheffield by four goals to two, at Sheffield Lincoln City beat Grimsby Town bv tlnee goals to two, at Lincoln Birmingham St. George's and Burton Swifts played a drawn game, at Birmingham; and Small Heath beat Crewe Alexandra by three goals to one, at Birmingham.

Thomas (Messrs Robert Jones and R. W. Thomas, accountants, Marldon Chambers, 30, North Joliii- street, Liverpool), who was specially appointed to audit the accounts of Mr Wilde, D.C C. The docu- ment was as follows :— 30, North John-street, Liverpool, December liJth, ih'.tl. To the Chairman and Members. I DEAR SIR?,—In accordance with your instruction-, con- vened to me in a resolution passed by your c iiiiiiittetg ut a meeting assembled on the ldili day of Oc i-ber last, in the following words That the consideration of the applica- tion of Mr Wilde for a pension be atfj'juine J, and that Mr Wilde's accounts from the establishment of the County Council be examined by Mr R. W. Thomas, of Liverpool that his audit be completed, and a report presented by the lito December, and that a tpecial meeting ot this comurttee be held at Wrexham as sonn as practicable after the 14th December, 1SJI, to further consider Mr Wilde's application," I have made as minute and careful an examination < f Mr Wilde's accounts as c"ullI be done with the llIateria." placed before me, [ Che auditor give a list of the books and of the amounts entered in the ca-li- book, for which vouchers were not presented]. for the quarter ending 31st December, 1889. the iiummary of the d sbursements i< missing. 'Ihe payments, according to the auioun; entered in the cash-book, are £,q 6s 2d, out re- C ipts are only produced for £50 2", bhowing the omission of the items airta-iy mentioned of the gas account for Wrexham Cuunty Buildings, and tb, gas account for Rhos and ltuabon district. toliowin/ items will show amount i paid in full, but where di comts should have been ahowed. lTlloj accounts were paid to the tihos tind Kuabon Coiiapiuy, and to the Llangollen Company "j There is no attempr, as far as I have been able to trace, to dis- guise, deceive, or conceal the fact from anyone as regards the non-deduction of the discounts from tae above amounts paid, txcept the one for Ptlius Gas Company for the quarter ending 31st March, 18111), of £1 lis 9d. This voucmrhas in my opinion on the face of it every appear- ance of concealment. Mr Wilde, 1 understand, has given you his vert-ion of the incident, and I need not dwell further upon it now. As to the item in the quarter ending 31st December. 1^1)0—hh< s Gas Co. £3 ISs 021.j, the deduc- tion of 2s yjd instead of 5s 9!-J is, in my opinion, a cietical error. Mr Wilde wrote tj the Company for an explinalion of this, and the secretary's reply Kccompanies the report. A list of minor errors is then given.] Con- tinuing, the auditor saysThere are no returns for amounts received by Sergt. Robinson, who is a clerk in the office of Deputy Chief Constable, for amounts received for police service, fees, &c., through the whde period from April, 1883, to November, ;83I. linos and Kuabon Water Co.—An account for water rate I for the sum of ih Id is receipted across the account. It is tn print on the d,bit notes that no ieceiut U a "I's.liitigtf of the account except the Company's printed receipt. A receipt for June, 1890, is pasted over a September account, 1890, for 9s Id. A September account of the same year is again produced at the proper time, and a September receipt pasted onr. For further explanation see letter from Mr Woodford, secietary of the Water Co., and from P.C. 32 John Wynne. WeightB and Measurei.-From the minutes of your committee I find a resolution passed on the 28th February, 1890 (folio 76) as follows :—" That eaeh In- spector be provided with a receipt book with counter-foil in order to present a numbered receipt f..r all cash re- ceived for adjusting or i-ttmping weights and measures an, weighing instruments." Theie books (check receipt books) were provided as follows Weights and measures, commencing 6th May, 1890, weighing instuments, com- ment ing 1st September, 1890. It is impossible with the present mode of keeping the books, where the particulars of testing and adjusting weights, measure s and weighing instruments are entered to check the fee for doing so. In a Kreat many cases the fees charged are excessive, and over and above the ;.cale charge and in other C S-s the scale of charges was not reached. Ques* tioned upon these apparent discrepancies Mr Wilde toX- plained that in many cases the weights to be tested were so dirty and cuiroded that it would be requifeite to clean tbt m well before testing, itnti for this a ditional work, dis- cietion is left with the Ins; ector as to the anio,itit to be cliargud, and this, he say, accounts for the increased charges. He explains the deficient charges by new w eights, brought in so that a record he taken of them for future guidance. The book ought to bow the number of we.glit,i brought in, and specify what number for testing, adjusting and stamping, or lor both, as the cate may be, otuerwise ic will be impossible to check the fees charged and received. Without some alteration in the mode of en- teting up the register it would be requisite to see the weights, Ac., before they are tested, in enter to check the fees charged. An error occuri in this book for the quar- ter end.ng 30th June. 1891. In the summary an amount is carried forward as X2 ISs Ojd, instead of 12 Ss 6Jd. Mr Wilde has therefore, in this case, debited binuelf with lus inorathan he should. In the quarter ending 30th June, 1891, in the weighing instrument register book a number of items are disfigured, chiefly by writing anothei figure over an erasement, leaving a mark. Polic Pay Sheet-The police pay sheets are prepared in the C,lief Constable's ofhee, and are handed over to be checked at the office of thelJeput1 Chief Constab!e, and to pay the men and get their receipt, which is endorsed on the sheets. On the 11th Nov., 189,1, neither Mr Wilde, Mr Sheehan, nor Mr Robinson had signed the pay sheet for their salary. I obtained the signatures of the three to the sheets in my presence. Mr Wilde also signed the sheet in bis capacity of Deputy Chief Constable, which had bean emitted. The fo tnigLtly statements, ending the 14tk March, and 17th May, did not contain the receipt of some constables for their wtigen this bas since been tone. Conveyance of p-isonert from Ruthin and Shrewsbury. No v uchers for amounts D..id in' 1889 and 1890 except the gaol Governor's receipt for the body and the expenses endorsed thereon. This year the officer conveying prisoners signi the endorsement for the amc-nnt, and now it is a valid receipt. Pedlars Certificate Book of Eittry.-Tliin book is preperly kept, one thing I should only mention. In the quarter ending March 1891, the total is brought down of St 5s, and apparently a stamp fixed for receipt, but afterwards taken off, this account i. added to the one that follows of L3 18a, making a total of A:8 3s, and this is correctly entered in the cash book. A letter is put in from the secretary of the Brymbe Water Company as to the use of old demand notes, the era«em»nt of printed dates, and substituting other da'e. I Having now placed all the errors and discrepancies dis- covered during the investigation, many of them perhaps II jour cummittee might consider too trifling to mention, however I considered it necessary that all should appear I, of whatever nature. I might a'se mention that Mr Wilde had the opportunity of going over all the errors and dis- ci epancies, and giving information he thought necessary, and also to obtain letters to confirm his explanations to me. Having then given h m every advantage when going through his books and papers, I feel I can with more freedom make a few observations of a general character upon the matter. Two-thirds of the errors and dis- crepancies discovered are clerical errors," and ehow clearly either lack of ability to keep the accounts or care- lessness, or perhaps both. The missing vouchers have passed the Government auditor, and the items bear his ticks except two or three items. I believe in the quarter ending 30tb June, 18S9, the four items of gft. account pa d for the Rhos and Kuabon and Llangollen Stations are the cnly important ones. As to the items paid in full where discounts ought to have been nllowed, these are the only items where the honeatyand integrity of Mr Wilde are in question. You will have noticed that all are In re- a, ect of Rhos, Hnabon, and Llangollen gas accounts. I am of opinion that discounts have been allowed by tbe Khos and Huabon Gas Company and the Llangollen Gas C mpany upon all the accounts paid from April, 18 9, to Jane, 1891, to someone; evidence to the contrary could have been obtained from the Gas Companies upon applica- tion it did not rest with me to do so.-I am, dear sirs, your obedient servant. It. W. THOMAS. A letter, dated November 28th. was read from Mr George E. Woodford, stating that in the Uuabon water account for December, 1890, 3s too little was de lucted as di«count by his clerk. Mr Woodford also explained the issuing of the demand notices for water rate for September on a June demand note. Mr Thos. Char! 8, secretary of the Brymbo Water Company, wrote explaining that the alteration of the dates of I the demand notes was done at his office. The CHAIRMAN asked for an account of the charges incurred by the audit. The CLERK said that the charge was C46 21 3J. ¡ On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr HOOSON, it was agreed to apply to the Local Govern- ment Board for direction to pay the amount. This was agreed to. Ditcussion on the auditors report having been invited. Ald. GEE said the special attention of the Committee ought to he drawn to the case of the 24 01 9d, the Rhos Gas Company's account, upon which Mr Wilde first denied, and which it was proved had been allowed. The CHAIBMAN We dealt with that at the Irit meeting. Mr GEE said that was so, but thelreport did not touch it. He did not think they would be faithful to their duties if they did not consider what he thought was a very glaring case of fraud. The CHAIRMAN said that question had been con- sidered at a special meeting, and dealt with. The business now was to consider from the auditor's report, whether Mr Wilde was entitled to a pension or not. Under the Act he was entitled to two-t.hirds|of his pay, and the only reamon for refusing must be one 'of mis- conduct. It was for the Committee to SAY if a charge of misconduct had been made against him. The resolution applying to the Local Government Board for the expenses of the audit was then carried. The Committee then proceeded to consider Mr Wilde's application for a pension. Mr Gee proposed That the complaints made to the Local Government auditor against Mr Wilde, based upon the state of the Rhas Gas Company's receipt, touching a discount which he denied having received, but which was afterwards proved to be cor- rect, as he afterwards acknowledged having received such discount, constitute, in the opinion of this Com- mittee, a clear case of set ious misconduct, and conse- quently that Mr Wilde loses all claim to a pension." I No one seconded the resolution. 'I CAPT. BEST moved that the pension be granted from January 14th. Mr ED. ROBERTS (who rose with a number of others) seconded the resolution. He said he thought they would all feel pleased at the result of the special inquiry into Mr Wilde's ^ccountp. When they con. sidered that Mr Wilde had so many accounts to keep, and such various matters coming under his super- vision, he thought the result of the audit was very! plealling-(hear, hear)—and lie hoped Mr Gee would withdraw his motion. The CHAIRMAN It has not been seconded. Mr J. COSTER EDWARDS (Trevor), suppoited the resolution, and expressed it as his opinion that Mr Gee ought to withdraw the term fraud he had applied to Mr Wilde. (Hear, hear.) Mr Gee's conduct looked very much like vindictiveneES. Mr OWEN SLANEY WYNNE thoueht the auditor's report very satisfactory, and he did not see how the word fraud could he used in dealing with Mr. Wilde's accounts. (Hear, bear.) Mr SPARROW supported the motion, and said that if a cler k in his employ had been in a similar potitioUt? he would have given him the benefit of tne doubt. As his business involved rather more than twice the amount they spent with that committee, he could apeak with authority. Mr GEE said in the face of the Rhos eas cas* be was unable to withdraw h's remark*. He disclaimed aviy vindictirptiesr in ttie inat-er, and s.ii(I when Mr WiMe was at Denbigh they co-nperated well together. Mr EEWARD KOBEKTS afked if in the of the auditor's report, Mr Wiule intended to resign.

DENBIGH AND D I SE S T ABL I SHME NT. I ENTH USIASTIO MEETING. On Friday evening one of the most enthusiastic and crowded meetings which has been held in the Vale of Cl" y (I was held in tbe Drill Hall, Denhigh The spacious hall was occupied to its utmost capacity bv an orderly and attentive auiiiriice. The meeting was convened under the auspices of the Welsh Disestablishment Campaign by Mr Fred Ll. Jones, B.A., the secretary, t,) respond to the speech made by the V t'ry Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph, at Rhyl, upon the queotion of disestablish- ment in Wales. Aid. Thomas Gee, C.C presided, and was supported on the platform by Mr LIppI George, M.P.. Mr J. Herbert Lewis. Mr J Herbert Roberts, Mr J. Parry (L'anarmon), Rev. W. Parry, and Mr Fred LI. Jones, li A., secretary of the Campaign. The CHAIRMAN, who was Inuoly cheered, said that was one of a series of meetings which would be held throughout the whoie ( f North and South Wales, their obj-ct being to fo: ce forward as much as possible the questions of diiestablishment and disendowment. They were determined that the Church must be disestablished, and he thought they were all agreed that nothing should he wanting on their part to force that question on with all possible speed. They were glad to find that their English friends were helping them in the matter at the meeting of the LibernI Federation at Newcastle. The question of disestablishment was very con- spicuous upon the platform, and many sympathised with their country, who were weighed down with a matter which was a lasting inj ustice to the whole of the Nonconformist inhabitants in the Principality. He hoped that this programme of the North and South Wales Liberal Federation would meet with the whole su pport of all the electors of the Principality at the mxt general election. (Cheers.) Mr HERBERT ROBERTS, J.P., proposed—"That this meeting is of opinion that the time has arrived for the Church of England iia Wales to be disestablished and disendowed, and for the tithe to be devoted to national objects, and not for the maintenance of an Establishment which is opposed t) everything which is dearest :o the Welsh nation I and insists that the Liberal party should introduce a measure for disestablishment and Oiseqtiuryinenro as sooa as they rettua to power." Mr LLOYD GEORGE, 1.P., who was cordially received, in seconding the resolution, said The Dean of St. Asaph complains that neither Mr Guinness Rogers nor myself thought it worth our while alluding to his speech at the Congress. Well, as far as I am concerned I tell you why I did not. After a careful perusal and reperusal of that speech I failed to discover a single argumeut in it from beginning to end. (" Hear, hear," and laugliter ) That must also have been Mr Rogers's experience. The same difficulty is encountered when one under- takes to reply to the Dean's address at Rhyl on Friday evening. As the able writer of the Welsh Notes in the Liverpool Mercury very well points out, it contains no argument whatever. (Hear, hear.) In truth, were it not for some glaring mis- representations of fact which it contains, one would be at a loss to discover any matter in it worthy of criticism. It is only by reading such feeble defences as this of the Dean's that it is possible to fully realise how very indefensible the Church position must be in Wales (Hear, hear.) Libera- tionists owe a debt of gratitude to the Dean for exposing so effectively the weakness ot his cause. (Hear, hear, and applause.) In the course of a lengthy and telling address, Mr George said He (the Dean) says, Mr George brought a charge against the Church CongreES Committee of making money by the rale of beer, He would content himself by giving Mr George the most direct and unqualified contradiction. There was not A particle of truth in it." Now, kindly follow the Dean's contradiction. My aharge was that two or three beer booths were run on the Congress grounds. (Hear, hear.) I did certainly suggest that perhaps this might have something to do with the financial success of the Congress. Now, I still maintain that there were three beer booths on the Cougross grounds. That they were placed there with the committee's consent goes without saying. They could not have been planted there otherwise. If permission was given gratuitously, it simply strengthens my case as showing their anxiety to encourage the provision of intoxicants for their clerical and proselytic visitors. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) In a Congress where even members were charged for admission, beer booths are allowed free space. Is that the dean's defence? If it is. I congratulate him upon it. But observe the terms of the contradiction. An ordinary reader, not exercising the vigilance which a knowledge of Church defence tactics would require, might, from a perusal of that para. graph, come to the conclusion that there was not a particle of truth in the beer booths story, whereas a careful construction of it simply means that no money was made by the committee out of the transaction. This may be ingenious, but it is far from being ingenuous. (Hear, hear.) But if my information be correct, the dean cannot take advantage even of this special pleading. The committee did make money by the sale of beer, for they stipulated for the payment to them by the beer booths contractor of a substantial sum of money for the use of the grounds. If this be true, then there is not a particle of truth" in the dean's contradiction. And in any event the denial is a most disin- genuous one-almere endeavour to lead his pursuers off the track. (Hear, hear.) But the supprtssio vrri of which the dean has been guilty does not end even here. He has practised the same artifice in his remarks on the Cromwellian experiment in Wales. He does not for a moment attempt to impugn the accuracy of the catalogue of good results resultant from that experiment to which I referred. He does not-he cannot-deny that as a result of this experimrnt free schools were estab- lished in every market town throughout Wales, that 13 preachers developed into 150, and that teveral thousand copies of the Rible were dis- tributed. He shuffles. (Hear, hear.) He brings another charge-not against Cromwellian ministers of religion, but against the Commissioners ap- pointed to administer the fund. It appears that out of a sum of E345,000, they failed to account to the auditors for £ 9,400. Now, observe his unfairness. He does not tell you that Cromwell ordered an audit shortly after the close of the accounts when the matter was fresh, and that the result was the complete exoneration of the commissioners from the charge of peculation brought against them. Nor does he tell you that the second audit was ordered several years afterwards by au administration so hostile to the memory of Crom- well that it actually had the ferocity of hatred to dig up his bones and hang them at Tyburn. These facts the Dean has thought fit to conceal are most material. (Hear, hear.) I cannot, un- fortunately, assume that he does not know 01 tneir existence. I tell you why they are material. Audits are annual, at least nowadays. But with the Royalist audit years had elapsed, and those years of revolution and consequent confusion, so that records and accounts might have been mis- laid, lost, destroyed—some of the commissioners and their witnesses might have been dead. Had the tribunal been a perfectly impartial one honest men might have failed under the circumstances to prove how they had spent every penny received. But when the judiciary was violently partisan, and the very reason for whose existence lay in ita exposing tiii- auppoecd peculiarities and frauds of its opponents, the marvel is that the commissioners succeeded so well in exonerating themselves that even vehement partisanship failed to detect more than a quarter per cent. of error in their accounts. But what think you of the method of debate which allows an ecclesiastic in the Church to suppress facts in order to be able to vilify the memory cf opponents with the charge of embezzle- ment. (Shame.) Why, a prosecuting attorney would scorn to imitate euch tactics with criminals, and yet it is done to traduce men who per- ? formed great services for their country by one 1 who presumes to give lessons in honesty," j fair argument," and the display of Chria- tian spirit." (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) But what strikes one as more remarkable than the dean's allusions aie his omissions. Whilst he is vehement in the denunciation of certain phrases of mine for their supposed deficiency in Christain spirit," he has not a word to say about the inhuman outrage perpetrated in the Llanforthen burial ground, to which I pointedly drew his attention. (Hear, hear.) Nor has he a syllable of reprobation to utter against the bigotry of his fellow- dean in prohibiting Church organists to play Presbyterian organs. (Hear, hear.) Is it that the Dean of St. Asaph finds no infringement of his peculiar interpretation of the Christian spirit in these deeds, or is it that he considers his mission is to convert and enlighten the Nonconformist heathen, or it it that be deems the reformation of deans a hopeless task? (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) But fortunately the effective condemnation of these deeds does not rest with deans. (Cheers.) It is the function of the people of this country. (Hear, hear. ) Wales has not ceased since the days of Peckham to those of Dean Lewis to protest against these acts of clerical tyranny and bigotry. Evid- ence is not wanting that her peisistent cry is at last being heard and heeded. (Cheers.) Dean Owen appeals to Welshmen "not to lose the religion of their fathers." They are not likely to do so in the hour of their victory when they clung j to it so devotedly in the dark hours of persecu- tion. There are individuals who have for- I sa ken that faith. (Hear, hear.) The dean may I know them. (Hear, hear ) They deserted the religious traditions of th?ir youth when the first convenient bribe offered itself. (Hear, hear.) They have since been seen intriguing about the lobbies of the House of Commons and undergoing toilsome journeys "—(laughter)—in order to pro- mote measures tor the county-courting and im- prisonment of men who have refused to emulate their apostacy. But these are only individuals after all. We had these even in the days of Lwyelyu-men who preferred tho good things which Anglican favours could confer upon them to the blessings of a patriotic creed. They then succeeded in betraying their country. They will not do so now. (Cheers.) Wales ia on her guard against them. Vtrily they have their reward. But so will Wales have hers. (Cheors.) Her fidelity to her free creeds will not be unrequited, and the lot of every self-respecting community is awaiting her. Her recompense is at hand- (cheers)—nay, she is now in a measure enjoying it —in the tribute of honor accorded to her by all for her devotion, and, what is more, in the satisfaction emanating from the honest iiride of her own heart, that she never yet betrayed a noble idea once com- mitted to her trust. (Loud cheers.) Mrs MAI I.AUEN. wife of the member for Crewe Division, said that, although not a VVelsbwomtr, she fully sympathised with the work they were engaged in. (Cheer!) She hoped that the Welsh party in the House of Commons would form onu solid wall, and work all together for tluir interest, and they would be able to receive a measure of Home Rule, and that they would have local self- government to the full. (Cheers ) If they in Wales required religious equality they would have to claill-I it with one loud voice, as well as with a united front. (Cheers.) Mr J. IIKIU:KI:T LEWIS, w ho M as received with loud applause, said the dist'stablisiitucut meeting at Riiyl was (l'lite aq crowded a-; that meeting that night. He va"- on that occasion, two c'.ei-gyniei) push their way through the audici c*. go up oil the platform, and take out thiir notebooks. He thought they were like the policemen in Ireland, who acted as Government note takers. (Laughter.) It had been said that if leaders were once dis- credited thcv would never ri-taiu the eoiifiileuce of ttie people, but the leaders of that reform had. (Applause.) They taid, too, that the Burials Act was a dead letter in Wales, but the Act was like a polic^m-in—remove a policeman from a district and they would have an increase of crime. The Act acted as a deterrent to the clergy, and he had a letter in his pocket which would throw light upon the subject. He aeked any Government to dare to repeal thit so-called dead letter. (Ap- plause.) Mr JOII PARKY (L'anarmni) appeaet1 to the audience to assist in the campaign, both with money, of which they wanted 1:10,000, and with their influence, both of which were necessary to carry on the work. Mr LI. MOSTYN LJm'l: (Manitoba) spoke of the condition of Church and State in Canada, and saiil he wag a lay member d the Church of England. -1 IWVCVI that Chtircii- ./I,"l\r hpAr)-hnt 110 .u. <t.I thought it would be better for the Church to i)e disestablished. Iu Canada the clergyman held his place by the strength of his power in the pulpit, and in hit official capacity he was obliged to tell one clergyman to return to England because he was unaole to maintain his position as a preacher. He thoroughly sympathised with the movement. (Applauac.) The Rev. W. PAnRY having spoken, the CHAIR- MAN then put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carrieli with applause.
