CARDIGANSHIRE ELECTION. f
CARDIGANSHIRE ELECTION. f MR VAUGHAN DAVIES'S CANDIDATURE, During the past week Mr Vaughan Davies, the Conservative candidate, has held no less than thirteen meetings in different parts of the cou nty, and he has everywhere been received with enthusiasm and listened to most attentively. GREAT MEETING AT TEEGASON. Mr Vanghan Davias addressed a vast assembly of electors at the Town Hall on Saturday, the 7th lost. On his arrival aa the station by the 3.-S5 train he was- met by a large concourse, and after giving him a hearty cheer was drawn in an open carriage to the Town Hall. The carriage was preceded by a great number of children, each wearing around hi3 hat some red material. When the doors were thrown open to the public the place was immediately filled. Among those present we noticed—Viscount Vaughan (in the chair), Lady Li?hnrne, nev O. Davies, M.A., vicar of Tregaron, Mr D. Jones, Deunaut, Mr M.or- ean, HafodnewydJ, Dr Eichards, Llangeitho, Dr J. Eowland, Llan' dewi-brefi, aud many other leading farmers of the neighbourhood. Mr Vaughan Davies, on rising to speak, wis heartily cheered, and said ho waa very pleased to stand there to thank them for the warm reception they had given him that day, and it should not be forgotten by him very soon. He said he had a very powerful opponent, but he left it a Is to the electors' discretion whether they wished to have a Cardigan- shire bred man to represent tl em or have a Mont- gomeryshire man. referring to the electi n and the promises given to them by the Liberals in 1880, he said they had promised peace, but where is that peace? [A Voice: "Egypt."] What have the Liberals cone during the last five years of their ad- ministration ? Only wars had been carried on. The Transvaal had been the death place of many poor English soldiers, and what were they better after all this nghtiijg ? Onli that bodies bad been left to rot on the sandy deserts. With regard to Egpyt, he said that the end of this long war was bodi?s put as food for the birds of prey. Their policy in Ireland is one that has made neighbours go against each other as if in a civil war, and all this through the careless, ness of the Liberal Government. It' they had ful- filled their promises with regard to peace then the f country would be satisfied. When they could not get a bill of note in the House they went against a barrel of beer, over which they stumbled and fell (cheers). He was glad Lord Salisbury steppsd fors ward and amended the breaches which the Liberal- had opened (cheer.-). What had the Conservatives done? Well, they had done something for us. They I had given 4.000l. to "our" Aberystwyth College i (cheers). He then referred to the various points in his address, and concluded by saying, if you are satisfied with the Liberal Government with all its woes then youkr.ow how to vote, and a d»y will soon come when I hope you will show whether you will vote for a man from abroaa or a Cardiganshire man (cheers). Mr Jones, Dennant, nest addressed the meeting, and after alluding to free trade, & said there were two good men seeking for Parliamentary honours in Cardiganshire. Mr Vaughan D ivies is a native of the county, but the Liberals are so poor as to go out of the county to Montgomeryshire to find a cancii- date. \Vh:it use is there of saying that Mr David Davies has a great deal of money in the Cardiff docks ? HJ had nothing in the Cardiganshire mines. Why does he not go to Glamorganshire,where he has collieri"8,to seek election? Mr Morgans, Hafodnewydd (a Nonconformist), next addressed the meeting in Welsh. He was very glid of the warm reception that Mr Davies had on his arrival in the town, and hoped that the other candidate would have a similar reception. The question he first noticed was the land question. He said farming is at present very low indeed, and the working man is similarly low. On good grounds, he said that some of the colliers in Glamorganshire only worked one day out of every week. They spoke of Mr David Davies, the Liberal candidate's wealth. They say hs has £ O0,0C0. What does he do with them ? Does he open a lead mine in Cardiganshire ? No. What does he do, then? He goes to Glamor- ganshire, and there opens collieries. But why does'nt he go there to seek Parliamentary honours. [A Voice He knows he won't be elected]. The speaker then spoke of free trade and its abuses to farmers gener- ally, and the way to make the times to come better was to vote for Mr Vaughan Davies. The Liberals have taken us into, I might almost say, ruin, but the Conservatives have taken you up. Mind, then, how you vote lest you might go into the same place as ¡ Lord Salisbury took you from (cheers). ) Mr Griffiths, Aberystwyth, next spoke, and said he was very glad to see such a good meeting. He j touched on the redistribution and Mr Chamberlain's three acres" notion. He (the speaker) said he had not come there to speak against Mr D. Davies as a Liberal candidate, because he had done much towards Aberystwyth and its college. Bat he failed in one thing. He failed to get the Government grant of <64,000 to place us on a level with Cardiff and Ban- gor. Well, who succeeded in getting the £ 4,000? Mr Vaughan Davies (cheers). If he then has done such a great thing outside the house, what will he do inside the house (cheers). I hope you will all vote for Mr Vaughan Davies (cheers). The Chairman here said that if anyone wishel to ask Mr Vangivu: Davies any question he was pre- pared to answer (hear, hear). A question waa put to Mr Davies as follows "If the landlord»aml tenant cannot agree, are yru for getting an arbitrator between them ?-Änswer; Certainly ;yes (cheer.-). An elementary toaehc-r asks "Are you, sir, prepared to support a motion for abolishing the system of pay- ment by results from our elementary schools P"-Mt, Davies That I take t.) be the great evil of our ele- mentary school system, and therefore I say, unhesi- tatingly, yes. What do yea think -of classifi-mtion by a*e in ele- mentary sc}wols ?-ThiJ more sensible way to classify a child would be to place him according to his ability and UGt to age. The Eev 0. Divies, M.A., rose, and said he had risen to propose that a hearty vote of thinks should be accorded to Mr Vaughan Davies for his excellent speech, and that the meeting pledges itself to support him at ahs coming eleeti n. The rev gClbleman said thÜ promises :lgC!jl1 as nsnal ware being made by the Liberal party, Mr D. Davits soree years ago pro- mised to- make a railway between Aberystwyth and Aberayron, but it has not been failed, and accord- ing to all probabilities neverwill. Mr Jones, Ochor, seconded tho proposition, and wished that Mr D i.vics would be placed attho head of the poll with a large m ij )rity. Mr Davies responded, and pressed on the audience the desirability of thinking before voting, and vote for one that will do thr m good in coming years. Dr John Rowland, M D., The Garth, moved a reso- lutionthat a hearty vote of thanks should-be given to Lord Vauehan for presiding that evening, aud this was seconded by Mr J. D. Williams, Union Ofiioe. The noble lord responded, and expressed a hope that Mr Vaughan Davies would be returned at the head of the poll (cheers). The Countess of Lcsburne, on. the wish of many present said, Votiwch igyddros Mr Yanghan Davies, y dyn goreu yn y sir (cheers). The meeting then terminated. After going out Mr Davies was again greeted with cheers and shoutings of Vaughan for Ever," which he acknowledged. Vaugh -nTanbwlch yu y dyn, Vaughan Tanbwlchyu y dyn, 'Nol ar ostron. i Drefaldwya Cynyrcliioled sir oi bun. EH YD Y PENNATJ. ) On Tuesday afternoon, a meeting of his supporters was held in the pretty and neatly-furnished board school at Eiiydpeuau, Although the meeting was announced for the early hour of 4.30 p.m., the1 audience was a large one, the building being tolerably well filled. On the motion of Mr Jenkins, C-lyn V illa, Mr Jenkins, of was tinanimously voted to the chair. He said that Mr Vaughan Davies had kindly come among them to explain his politiaal views and he expressed the hope that they would listen to him patiently, at the same tiraa lie believer that .they wordd find his opinions to be satisfactory. Mr Vaughan Davies prefaced his remarks by stat- ing that if at the close cf his address there was any point which any of them did not understand or any they would like to put to him he would er as far as was in his power to do so. He then proceeded to point out how the Liberal promises made in isSOof.peace and retrenchment remained unfulfilled, as there had been scareeiv one moment's pease in almost any part of tho world. The people had to pay fci this bad g-overSment, until the expenses had at last gone up to no less tha.n £ 3,000,000 last year. He asked them if they were going to send another Liberal Government into power, to bring- the country to ruin, or were they going to give the Conservatives a chance of restoring peiLce abroad, and retrenchment at home. He then proceeded to speak of the wild schemes pro- pounded by Mr Chamberlain,Mr Jossio Collings, aud •ether impraotical theorists. First, every person was was to have three acres of land, but as there were only 37,000,000 of acres of land in the country, and 16,000,000 people that idea had to be abandoned in favour of one acre and a cow (laughter). He pointed out the absurdity of the notion, atul asked his andiencfc if any one of them would Jiko to become the possessor of one acre of land on the top of Plynlimon, because there would bQ no choice about the matter (: pplr,nse). JJs also referred to Mr Chamberlain's proposition that local authorities should bu appointed go buy land t-o. giye to j&a pQo,r of the immediate neighbourhood, and showed that by so doing heavy burdens in the form of rates would be imposed upon the taxpayers for the benefit of the few, which was most unjust (applause), He then spoke strongly in favour of a compulsory Agricultural Holdings Act, and created considerable amusement by quoting from Mr David Davies's speech at Aberystwyth that he did sot know whether the Agricultural Holdings Act of 1883 was compulsory or not. Having explained his views on free trade and fair trade, free education, and other points, Mr Davies resumed his seat amid hearty applause. The Rev J. M. Griffiths, vicar of Llanfihangel, reiterated and enforced the various points alluded to in Mr Davies's speech in the Welsh language, and he was frequently loudly applauded. He concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the candidate for his visit, and also for coming forward to fight the Con- stitutional battle, and the resolution was carried with acclamation. 1 Mr Davies briefly replied, and the proceedings terminated, PENRHYNCOCH. On Tuesday evening, Mr Davies visited Penrhyn- coch, where he was met by a large audience in the schoolroom, the building being well-filled and his reception was most gratifying. Mr Ivory, school- master, proposed, and Mr Hugh Hughes, Cwmbwa, seconded that Captain Edward Pryse, Gogerddan, take the chair. This resolution being readily agreed to, the gallant captain was received with great cheer- ing. The Chairman, in introducing the candidate, said he believed that Mr Vaughan Davies was the best man to represent the county, and he asked them all to put their shoulders to the wheel to get him re- turned (cheers). Mr Vaughan Davies, who was warmly applauded, said that it afforded him great pleasure to be intro- duced, if an introduction to any part of the county of Cardigan was necessary, by one of the Pryse's of Gogerddan. Before he said one word about politics, he wanted, in justice to himself and his friends at Penrhyncoch, to say a word or two with reference to a statement made at a. Liberal meeting in that place or somewhere else, because he found that these people did not generally talk about politics at their meetings (laughter). It was said that Mr Vaughan Davies came to Penrhyncoch with candles in his pocket (laughter), and that he had a meeting by himself (laughter). Now these was not a word of truth in the statement he came to Penrhyn- coch to meet some few friends who were going to work for him, and the candles to light up that room were purchased at the shop in the village. Where- ever he had been throughout the county everything had been got in readiness for him, and he had always had large audiences like the present one to listen to what he had to say (applause). He was now fighting the county, and on the 27th of this month they would have to decide who was to be their member—they must settle whether they were going to have a man from their own county or whether they were going to Mont- gomeryshire for their representative. He then proceed- ed todeal with various questions, and pointed out the failure of the late Government to redeem the promises made five years ago, when Mr Gladstone was returned to power with a large majority at his back. In all the speeches which the Liberals had made throughout the country during the present struggle they would not find one single remark about the past, but they only told the people what they intended to do in the future. Having again dealt with Mr Chamberlain's proposal as to the distribution ef the land, he asked if it was just or in accord with com- mon sense to rate a number of people for the benefit of the few. He looked upon such proposals as no- thing more or less than an attempt to buy the votes of the electors, and to hide away the misdeeds of the Government during the past five years. He then alluded to the present state of farming, when the farmers had to compete with foreigners who could bring their stuffs into the market cheaper than they could at home, and it was the duty of any Govern- ment to do what they could to assist the farming- interest. He condemned the present system of agreements between landlords and tenants, by which the latter were barred from selling hay or straw, and were compelled to farm by agreement. He main- tained that no man knew how to cultivate his farm better than the man who paid for it, and he was in favour of giving the tenant great freedom to till the land as he thought best (loud cheers). That was what he did himself, as a farmer, and why should he stand in the way of allowing the tenant, because it would produce better farming. He also urged that the Agricultural Holdings Act should be made compulsory, whi'-h would induce the tenant to put his money in the land, because he would then know that it would be for the benefit of himself and his children after him. He would make it so secure that if a man raised the value of the land from to 25s. an acre, he should have that allowed to him when leaving the farm, and he know perfectly well that so many notices to quit would not be flying about the country when the landlords knew that there were Æ4GO or J6500 to p -y in each case (loud cheers). He next referred to the question of taxation, which ho maintained was at the present time unjust to the farmer and passing from this he alluded to free education, showing that whereas Mr David Davies went in for free education all round—to the rich and poor alike,which would have to be paid for out of the rates, he believed that the present system was wrong and hard, and that the State should p iy for the edu- cation of the poor and the poor only (applause). He was not in favour of compelling poor people to go to the Board of Guardians to pay for the education of their children, as that would pauperise them, but it was the duty of the State to educate its poor (cheers). He also spoke strongly in favour of County Boards, at which all those who paid rates should be repre- sented, and then passed on to the mining interest, whta he contended that the present system of one- sided freo trade affected this interest most injurious- ly, and from which 120,000 people in England suf- fered directly at the present time owing to the closing of 179 mines, to say nothing of the loss of money to tradesmen and others which this wage-earning class would spend were they at work. He then showed how the present system was unsatisfactory, and coa- cludod a very able address. Mr Richard Evans, of Aberystwyth, then gave a most clear and lucid outline of Mr Davies's address in Welsh, after-which a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Davies. Mr Davios replied.. Mr Thomas, Brysgaga, proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried amid much cheer- ing. The Chairman thanked them, and asked the audi- ence to give three hearty cheers for Mr Davies, which was done right lustily, and the proceedings terminated. EGLWYSFACH. Mr Vaughan Davies addressed a meeting of his snpportors in the schoolroom of this village on Wed- nesday afternoon. There was a large attendance Mr Evan Jones, late of Nantsidoi,was unani- mously voted t) the chair, and iu a humor- ous speech referred to the tnmy eminent men which had been produced in Sir Aberteifi, and he ridiculed the idea of going to an adjoining county for a member of Parliament when they had such a gentleman as Mr Vaughan Davies among them (applause). He urged upon all to support the candidate who was pledged to su:,port the interest of the tenant farmers and agri- cultural labourer?. Mr Vaughan D ivies, who WtS warmly cheered, re- ferred to his family's connection wichthis pirt of the county, and said that when he came among them he was among friends, as he and his family were well- known to tha large msj srity of them. He then re- ferred at length to the several points in his printed address, and the frequency with which he was ap- plauded clearly proved that his opinions on the land and other important questions touching home affairs mc were in harmony with those of the great majority of his hearers. Mr Richard Evans, Aberystwyth, followed with a Welsh address, which was also well received, and a hearty and cordial vote of thanks having been accord- ed to Mr Vwghan Davies, the proceedings were 1 brought to a close. TRE'EDDOL. One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings erer held in this populous district took place on Wednesday evening in the Board school, in support ef the candidature of Mr Vaughan Davies. The eehoolroom, which is a very capacious building, was dejisely packed, and, with the exeeption cf an occa- sional over-exuberant display on the part of a few children from the neighbouring village of Talybont, the proceedings were marked by the utmost decorum and good feeling. At the lowest computation there must have been GOO people present, the largo majority of whom were evidently prepossessed in favour of the Conservative and tenant farmers' candidate. Dr Brutain4 a gentleman of considerable influence in the locality, waa unanimously voted to the chair, and his opening' remarks were listened to with marked respect and appreciation. The Chairman, who was loudly cheered, said that tke circumstances undtr which tie took the chair that evening were peculiar, and perhaps they would bear with him two or three minutes while he explained the reasons. He belonged to a political family, who had for three generations been engaged in political life but, strange to say, that was the first political meet- ing that he had ever attendee3. It was something ptcnliar, therefore, why he did so on that evening, and they might ask why he took that position that night, and came before them as chairman, One i,eason was because he always wished to identify himself with the neighbourhood (applause). He had tried to make himself a friend to them all, and there- fore he wished to be of use to them. Secondly, hav- ing known something of politics for many years, there never had been,to his mind, such a situation in which it behoved every man who loved his country when I thera was greater necessity for coming forward and doing their duty as a nation (applause). Circum- stances were not now what they were 50 years ago. Tne population of this c mntry was less by one half than at the present moment now there were twice as many mouths to feed and bellies to fill (laughter), but there was only the same quantity of land. Again, 50 years ago there were only two parties recognised— th", Tories and the Whigs. Nov, he could safely say that the Whig party had pretty nearly died out, and the old Tory party had quite died out. There were days when there was great difference in respect to the c.,)rn laws, &c., on which the parties distinctly and widely differed. At the present momentciroamstances were very different in those days long ago they were masters of the situation-they had coal and iron, and made good use of them England was then the emporium of the world for manufactured goods. They were also very independent, having pretty nearly as much as they wanted without going to foreign countries. Now, America, had its own iron and coal, France had its own iron and coal, and Belgium manufactured articles and sent them over to England. The land, however, remained the same, but instead of being able to send abroad so many millions of manufactured goods pe>- annum, they were now sending a small quantity abroad and taking large qoantities in. They were now paying out of this country pretty nearly as much for food as they were taking into it in times past. So that their foreign position was a peculiar one. Nearly one quarter of the food which they ate was brought from abroad, and this showed how dependeet they were upon foreign countries. America sent flour, corn, bread stuffs, &c., of every kind, and this country was dependent very largely upon other countries. Then, again,their colonies used to be very largely dependent uponEngIand,but now they were growing independent, and if they looked abroad over the whole continent of the world they found the same sort of thing. He asked them to consider these things soberly and qaietly, so as to be able to form a judgment for them- selves. He did not wish to prejudice any man, and he would be sorry to condescend to gross exaggera- tions, but he maintained that they were in a, very solemn positiou,and he asked them not to be guided by this or that tittle tattle, but come t-) a decided con- clusion as honest men. The Honses ef Parliament had thought fit to give the franchise to two million more people, and it behoved the new and old electors to sit down and consider the present state cf things, and not to be misled because a. man had happened to vote Eadical last time,or because he had happened to vote Conservative last time, that was no reason why he should do so again (applause) he should vote according to his convictions, and when he hid come to a firm conclusion, whether it was the way he voted last time or not, let him go and vote as his com- mon sense told him (cheers). He wished to point out to them honestly, first of all, the solemn duty they had cast upon them in exercising the franchise, and, secondly, they ought to consider the present position. He had stated jast now that in the early days there were only two parties-Tories and Whigs; but what had they now ? First, suppose he took the Liberal party, although he objected to the term Liberal," because there was no Liberal party. They had in the middle Mr Gladstone,a man who was revered by everybody and respected by everybody he bad served his country long and to the best of his ability. On the -one side of him was Lord Harting- ton, who was not a Liberal, but one of the remnants of the good old Whigs, and he could shake hands with him and agree with him in every word he utter- ed (hear, hear). They had on the other side Mr Chamberlain, who was as far apart from Lord Har- tington as possible. So that they had three different elements, and he asked them to look at these three gentlemen, eminent politicians as they were, and see how they agreed. Lord Hartington and Mr Cham- berlain agreed to work under Gladstone, but neither would have a leg to stand upon by himself. Lot-d Hartington could not:command a ma- jority in the House of Commons for two weeks, and Mr Chamberlain could not do sofor two days, but Mr Gladstone could manage to combine the discordant elements. In his speech in Scotland they might observe that Mr Gladstone laid great stress upon the duties of a Parliamentary leader, and said it was the duty or a leader to ''focus" the discordant ele- ments of which his ministry consisted. That was to give away a bit to one and a bit to the other, but somehow or other to keep a tight rein upon both (laughter). What must be the lesult of this? They had it on high authority that a house divided against itself must fall," and they had heard the old maxim "Union is strength but here they had three elements, and Mr Gladstone was obliged to humour both parties, but lie had no independence. Then came the question of peace and war, and unhappily they had seen a little of the result of this disunion. When the present ministry came into power what forces they had to contend with They had had £ 16,000,000 to pay for the war in Afghanistan and the East. They talked about £16,000,000 as a matter of figures, but it meant £16,000,000 that they had got to make up out of their own pockets (cheers). The question was whether they were to have an united ministry, who would de- cide whether they should do this or that, because tho result was a rather touchy one and that w.ts not all, unless the present ministry have been able to use their influence In shutting up Russia, possibly they would have had another £ 38,000,000 or £ 40,000,000 to pay in carrying out the war (applause). To go a little further, just look at the question of home politics, because the House of Commons had to decide what was to be done in home arrangements as well as fcreign arrangements (hear, hear). They knew that Mr Gladstone, Lord Hartingtou, and Mi- Chamberlain had confessed and apologised for tho mistakes made in respect to the war in Egypt. Wh) did they make such mistakes ? Because instead of one head ruling there were thr,e heads ruling (laugh- ter and applanse). Mr Chamberlain said, "I don't want war; I would let it, go and let Eussia take Afghanistan." They would remember, also, that one of the last ministry said "Perish India" (".Shame"). But on the other hand Mr Gladstone felt bound to make the endeavour, and so they went into the ex- pense. Lsok at the colonies again; the colonists were England's children she had started them in life very many of those present had brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, and aunts in the colonies; they were largely a people whom England had brought up, and they had seen how nobly these colonists behaved to the mother country when Australia sent a reigment ready tquipped, to assist in arms thei.- brother countrymen (cheers). But with regard to the colon- ies they had seen just the same vacillation. SOlre of the late ministry wanted to throw over the colon- ies, thought they were a burden, and would rather be quit of them. He would now put the case to them on tho other side. Ihey had got the ministry of Mr Gladstone, winch it was not fair to sell a Liberal ministry, because it contained such a large element of Radicalism (cheers). On the other hand they had Lord Salisbury, but they could not say of him,as they could say of Mr Gladstona, that he made great mistakes his ministry had settled foreign affairs, quieted down all disputes, and had managed to smooth away all difficulties in reg ird toEgypt,and they were at peace at present with all the world (cheers). They had done all a ministry nould do. If they compared Mr Gladstone and Lord S dis- bury's ministries he thought they would coma to the conclusion that the Conservative ministry offered as much as Mr Gladstone's in the way of useful legisla- tion. The Conservative ministry was united, and w -uld pull together, not one saying that he could not allow this and the other that (cheers). Their one great principle was to keep up the glorious constitution of old England. Their forefathers left them a glorious heritage, they left a country that, he was proud to say, held the first place in Europe and the world would not dare sneer at (applause), but unfortu- natley that was not its position of late. Those who had travelled-of late years knew that England had not held the position ib did iu the days of their fore- fathers she was thought by many to be a lick- spittle, aud that they could kick or cuff her, and do anything they liked to her. If they had a Conserva- tive ministry they would net have a ministry which wanted to go to war, but if they were obliged to go they would go in earnest (cheers). They would not send a poor old man like Gordon to Khartoum and leave him there to be killed, but if they sent him there they would take devilish good care to bring him back again (laughter and cheers); if they once got their teeth in they would take care to stick on. He did not know if anybody had read Mr Gladstone's speech on tne prevlOUS day, or Mr Chamberlain's speech, if not it would be a piece of naws to them. They knew how often the Conservatives were twitted that they curried favour with Mr^Parnell solas to get the support of the Irish patty, and thus have a ma- jority and they knew that Mr Gladstone five years ¡ ago startled England at the Lord Mayor's dinner by the announcement that Mr Parnell and three or four others were committed to gaol for treason and they all knew that not very long afterwards Mr Gladstone, when in difficulties with respect to Ireland, made a compact with Mr Parnell, in virtue of which Mr Par- nell and his followers were let out of prison under conditions that he should assist him (applause). Mr Forster at once threw up his post when he saw Mr Gladstone's conduct with regard tc the Irish. Now what did Mr Gladstone say the previous night ? He announced that he had come to the conclusion that Ireland should be allowed every possible means of j self-government so long as it did not involve a disrnp- j tion of the Empire; that was that the Irish people were to govern themselves in every shape and form except not being absolutely separated from England. One other point, he noticed from Mr Chamberlain's speech, when speaking in reference to parties he said there was no such thing as a Tory, and asked Do you want to know what a. Conservative is ? A Conservative is a man who gets all he possibly can for himself and does all he can to keep it" (laughter). Now, if that was trap, he Cthe speaker) might safely say that everybody in that room was a Conservative, because ho did not think there was a man amongst them who did not endeavour to get all he could for himself, and when he had got it did not take great care to keep it (applanse). All he said was that they had better all be Conservatives if they wanted to keep what they had got; they had better be Conser- vatives if they did not want to be robbed, and if they did not want the rights and claims of every Englishman to be taken away they had better be Conservatives, not only in name but in principle (cheers). The speaker then introduced to them Mr Vaughan Davies, who, he said, was known to them as a neighbour, as a man, 1ni as a good Conserva- tive (applause), and he would advise them all to give their earnest support to Mr Vaughan Davies (great cheering). Mr Vaughan Davies, who was received with great cheering, dwelt upon his close connection by family ties with the neighbourhood, and afterwards pro- ceeded to speak upon the various points in his pro- gramme. He was listened to with marked attention, and frequently applauded. At the close a hearty vote of thanks wtis accorded to him for his excellent address, and a vote of thanks having been accorded to the Chairman, the proceed- ings terminated with three cheers for Mr Vaughan Davies. LLANYCHAIARN. A Conservative meeting was held last Wednesday, November 11th, at the Pontllanio schoolroom to sup- port the candidature of Mr Vaughan Davies. The president was Mr H. S. Richardes, of Bryneithyn. Colonel King, brother-in-law of Mr Vaughan Davies, apologised for the absence of the candidate, who had to attend a meeting in the north of the county, where he is not so well known as he is in his native parish. The chief speakers were Messrs Joel Morgans, Cwm- ceirw, Harry Morgans, Pantyrallad, Joel Morgans, jun., Cwmceirw, Richard James, depot,Aberystwyth, Thomas Griffiths, grocer, Aberystwyth, and Dr Harries, who, one and all, spoke exceedingly, well. The numerously attended meeting well testified to the great respect which is paid to Air Davies in his native place, and a vote of confidence was unanimously passed in him as a fit and proper person to represent the county. LLEDROD. A large and influential meeting was held in the choolroom- in support of Mr Vaughxn Davies on Thursday afternoon. The Rev E. Alban presided, and after addresses by Mr Davies and Mr Richard Evans, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the chairman. LLANILAE. On Thursday evening Mr Vaughan Davies, the Con- servative candidate, paid a visit to Llanilar, and met with a reception which was the most gratifying. Previous to visiting this village he had been to Lled- rod, and a large number of voters awaited his arrival near the gates leading to Castle Hill. Mr Vaughan Davies's approach was hailed with loud cheers, and immediately he came up, the tired horses were un- harnessed and the carriage was pulled into Llani ar amid great cheering. Among the company who awaited Mr Davies's arrival were the Countess of Lisburne and Lord Vaughan, and they were received with the most popular demonstrations of good feel- ing. Both the Countess and Lord Vaughan took their seats in the carriage in company with Mr Vaughan Davies, and were drawn to the National schoolroom, where the meeting was announced to be held. Upon arriving there the room was quickly filled by a most unanimous and enthusiastic audience, and Lord Vaughan was immediately voted to the chair. Lord Vaughan said that Lady Lisburnoand himself had great pleasure in coming there to support the candidature of Mr Vaughan Davies, who was a native of the county. He would not detain them, as there were several others who would address the meeting but first of all Mr Vaughan Davies would explain to them his views (cheers). Mr Vaughan Davies, who was received with great cheering, expressed the great pleasure he felt in see- ing those who had come from a distance. He had great pleasure in meeting the people of Cardiganshire in what Liberal papers called hole and corner meeting. He was willing to accept that term, because he con- sidered it his duty to go into every hole and corner to meet the people of Cardiganshire and hear their views upon the great questions of the day (cheers). He then proceeded to give an exposition of his views upon the several questions of the clay, and was frequently applauded. Mr Richard Evans followed in Welsh, and Mr Joel Morgan, jun., also made a very effective and humor- ous addre-s in the Welsh language. The Rev D. Jenkins, vicar of Llanychaiarn, also spoke in Welsh. The Rev J. T. Griffiths, Llanilar, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Vaughan Davies for coming there that evening, and giving such a lucid address on the questions of the day. Mr Vaughan Davies was no stranger among them, having occupied a pro- minent position for some years, and was well known as having given a great deal of time to the affairs of the county, and ho thought he was a fit and pro- per person to send to Parliament (cheers). He thought they had all listened with great interest to his address, and he must say there was one remark about the two members for this county, when they were told by Mr Vaughan Davies that had there been a proper person to speak in time this county might have had two members. It struck him at the time that the other candidate was a member of the House of Commons at the time, and they must allow that it was great carelessness on the part of the Liberal candidate, and that he had not thereby increased his claims upon the electors by allowing that opportunity to slip (cheers). In Mr Vaughan Davies they had a m in well fitted to be the repre- sentative of this county; he belonged to an honour- able and ancient family he was personally qualified, and his principles were such as fitted him for the position. Five years ago a great mmy promises had been made, which had been never fulfilled, and promi- ses were now male which would not be fulfilled. First cam-j the scheme of three acres and a cow (laughter), and the more it was examined the more unreasonable would it appear. He then proceeded to expose the fallacy of the idea by showing that no labourer could live on his three acres, and that men would be better off as labourers. He then proceeded to touch upon free education, and said that at present they had a number of voluntary schools, and the National schools of this country taken as a whole educated more than one half of the population, all of which were sup- ported by voluntary contributions but Mr Chamber- lain wanted to got all the schools under boards, that was to have board schools throughout the land, and the money previously subscribed voluntarily would have to come out of the rates, so that free schools would add to the burdens of the present ratepayers. During the last session the Government brought in an Intermediate Education Bill, but he contended that it was not fair, as it provided for a county rate to Day for the education of the middle classes. He was in favour of an Intermediate Education Act, but not one which proposed to take away moneys intended for charities. He asked them to look how it would affect Llanilar. Certain charities were given away at Christmas to the poor, but according to that bill the money would betaken away from its present purposes and devoted to the education of the middle classes. He asked whether it was fair to take the money which was left for the poor of that parish to educate the children of parents who were well able to educate themselves (cheers). Let them have a bill, but not one which would rob the poor to provide for the edu- cation of those who were able to pay for it. The great question of the present day was the disestab- lishment of the Church, and he would like to ask one or two questions upon that point. He argued that if disestablishment took place the farmers would not get the tithes, but chat they would go the- State, and the farmers would not know what became of them. He urged very strongly that disestablishment would not benefit any- one, and he congratulated Mr Vaughan Davies that he had spoken out upon the question. Mr Thomas (Mr Loxdale's agent) seconded the proposition, which was carried by acclamation. Mr Vaughan Davies replied, and denied an asser- sion that had been put forward by his opponents that lie was in favour of taxing bread and meat. He pro- proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Lady Lisburne (loud and continued cheering). Lord Vaughan replied on behalf of himself and Lady Lisburne, and her ladyship also came forward and addressed a few words in Welsh, amidst tre- mendous cheering. LLANDYSSUL. Last Saturday a Conservative committee meeting was held in the Assembly Rooms of the Porth Hotel. Mr C. H. L. Fitzwilliams, J.P., Newcastle Emlyn, presided. There were also present :-Capt. Greatorex, Dol-llan, Messrs A. J. Hughes, Aberystwyth, Charles Lloyd, J.P., Waunifor, John Lloyd, solicitor, Rees Thomas, Green Park, Evan Jones, Penlan, David Lewis, King's Arms, Jenkin T. Jones, Pantmoch David Davies, Llandyssul, J. Ptighe Davies, Cape] j Mair, &c. Mr T. H. Davies, solicitor, was appointed. I sub-agent for Llandyssul polling district, and com | mittee rooms were selected, at Llandyssul and St.. John's. Last Tuesday evening a Liberal meeting was held in Hebron Chapel near Llandyssul. The Eev Mr Mr Jones, Pencader, presided. Speeches were delivered by the Chairman and the Rev William E. Jeffreys, Sa,ron, Llangeler. There was a fair attend- ance the majority of whom were women and children. At no time could it be said that more than 40 voters were present, and there was an entire lack of enthu- siasm. Mr J. Pugho Davies desired to know whether he could ask a few questions of the speakers, to which the Chairman replied in the affirmative. He (Mr Pughe Davies) would like to know what authority the Chairman had for saying that Sir M. Hicks-Beach pronounced himself in favour of putting a further tax. on tea? Mr Jones replied that Sir Michael had said so in the House of Commons just before the fall of the late Government. Mr Pughe Davies flatly denied it. He would, nevertheless, write to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject. He was in perfect harmony with Mr Jeffreys when he said they ought to fight for principles and not for persons, as the former were more general and enduring, but he would like to know how the Liberals had worked out their principles during the last five years if he wonld kindly do so, to which he had no reply save that the Liberal principles were those of freedom. But was sending General Gordon to Khartoum and refusing that gallant Christian all he desired to be called' freeao i. ? Was compelling the Egyptian Govern- ment to abandon their garrisons in the Soudan freedom? Did coercion and cloture come under the category of freedom? They did not grant freedom to the Boers, who strove for independence, until the Boers gave thorn two crushing defeats. Mr Pugh Davies persevered in his questions on Taxation, the National Debt, and the Franchise and Redistribu- tion Bills, which had been touched upon, but the rev gentleman s id he was in a hurry to go home as he was going away with the nine o'block train the fol- lowing morning, otherwise he would argue with him till midnight. Some person shouted to the effect that it had gone dark on him. On putting the reso- lution to support Mr Powell to the meeting about half-a-dozen rose in favour of Lord Emlyn. ABERBANK. A meeting of the Aberbank Conservative Associa- tion was held last Monday evening in the Llangunllo schoolroom. Mr Jones, Penlan, presided. There was a fair attendance, amongst whom where the Messrs Tyler (4) of Mount Gernos. Mr J. Pughe Davies explained the objects of the meeting. It was resolved that the hon. secretary should write and request Mr Vaughan Davies to address public meetings at Ehydlewis, Llangunllo and Aberbank. DIHEWID. Mr D. Davies, M.P., addressed the constituents in this place on Tuesday week at 10.30 a m., in the schoolroom. Mr S. Evans, London (chairman), called upon the Rev Thomas Johns, Cilcenin, to pro- pose a vote of confidence in Mr Gladstone's policy. Mr Edward Davies, the son of the proposed member, seconded this proposal. Mr D. Davies, M.P., ex- plained his political views, and said he would support the Land Act as to tenant's right, &c., and higher ,,t% education in Wales, and also the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church in Wales. The Rev T. Hopwood, Aberayron, Mr Morgan Evans, Oakford, and Mr Davies, Cefnmaes, also spoke. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr Davies, M.P., brought the meeting to a close. CARDIGAN. On Friday evening week a crowded public meeting of electors was held at the Guildhall, Cardigan, in furtherance of the candidature of Mr D. Davies, M.P. Colonel Pryse, lord lieutenant of the county, presided, supported by Miss Loveden, of Peithyll (whose father formerly represented the Cardigan Boroughs), Messrs Edward Davies, W. O. Brigstocke, T. Harries, J. W. Stephens, Lewis Evans, O. Beynon Evans (secretary of the Cardigan Liberal Association), and Levi James, and the Revs W. Jones, G. Davies, J. Davies, T. J. Morris, and M. Evans.
CHURCH AND CHAPEL.
CHURCH AND CHAPEL. The Baptist cause at Caersws, Montgomeryshire, recently gave a cordial invitation to Mr W. Young? of Haverfordwest College, and formerly of Cardigan, to become its pastor, which he accepted, and has now entered upon his sphere of labour. The Lord Bishop of St. David's has offered the liv- ing of Ystradyfellte to the Rev David Jones, the senior curate of Ystradgynlais, and it has been ac- cepted by the rev gentleman. Mr Jones's many friends will doubtless heartily congratulate him upon his preferment. A meeting of the congregation of St Mary's Church. Bangor, was hold on Monday, at which it was decided to appoint a deputation to wait upon the Bishop to represent their views upon the choice of a successor to the Key .T. Morgan, B.A., who has accepted the rectory of Llandudno. The vicarage is worth £ 400, and the clergy whose names are associated with it are Canon T. Williams, rector of Llanidloes; the Eevs T. Parry, vicar of Llanfrisgaer D. Eichards, curate of Llanllechid; and Grimaldi Davies, curate of Corwen. The annual concert in aid of the Sunday School funds of the Welsh Church, Liverpool, was held on Tuesday evening week, in the schoolroom, which was crowded. Mr T. C. Ryley, president of the Liverpool Sunday School Union, occupied the chair, and was supported on the platform by the Revs James Davies, M.A., incumbent; J. Price, curate of St David's; and D. Price, St James's, Birkenhead. The Chairman, who has been engaged in Sunday school work for upwards of 29 years, in' opening the proceedings, delivered a practical address upon the importance and dignity of Sunday school work, with the neces- sity of a thorough knowledge of the Bible, such as can be imparted in the Sunday school. A programme, consisting of songs and humorous pieces in Englis" and Welsh,was most successfully gone through by the following ladies and gentlemen, who had come for- ward voluntarily to assist on the occasion :—Misses Davies, Hitchen, Edwards, Fierz Messrs Drury, Raymond, Hughes, Parry, and Gomerydd, from Holy* well. Mr E. Evans (Birkenhead) acted as acCOm" panist.
