SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.—A meeting was held on Monday evening at the Park Board School in view of the approaching school board election. Mr Hugh Williams, Admiralty House, presided. The Chairman having explained that the object of the meeting was to endeavour to avoid the expense of ao election, requested the I clerk of the school board (Mr William Evens) to read the names of candidates nominated. They were the following :-Captain R. B. Cay, R.N., Messrs T. Forcer Evans, J.P., S. J. Griffith, Kingsland; William Griffith, Druid House; Joseph Hall, Llanheme; Richard Hughes, 5, Tower Gardens Owen Jones, 3, Stanley-street; W. D. Jones, Old Bank Captain John Owen, 9, Cybi-streer, and the Rev R. P. Williams, Carreg Domas.—Mr W. D. Jones explained that he was nominated by the Baptist denomination. The battle had bean fought on denominational lines.—Mr T. Forcer Evans regretted that all the candidates were not present.—Mr W. D. Jones remarked that the election was caused by wire pullers. He (Mr Jones) would name a person whom he considered responsible for the contest. -Mr William Griffith, Druid House, and the chairman thought that Mr Jones had better not name anyone, and thereupon Mr Jones resumed his seat.—Mr Joseph Evans, West View, thought that a number of the old members ought to with- draw so that some new blood could be imported into the board. During the last 18 years, that is since the formation of the board, the town had been progressing and some men with more pro- gressive notions ought to be on the board. At Holyhead a certain few monopolised every public sei-it- If it was an honour, and he con- sidered it an an honour, to have a seat on the board, then these honours should be divided. He believed that there should be a "give and take" in this matter.- Mr William Roberts, Bryn Seiriol, wished to know how the members had attended during the last three years.—Too Clerk then said that the total number of meetings was 4-1, and that members had attended as follows Mr Richard Hughes, 36 times; Capt R. B. Cay, R.N., 35; Mr W. D. Jones, 35; Capt John Owen, 33; Mr Joseph Williams, 30; Capt John Jones, 23 Mr S. J. Griffith, 16.—Mr Joseph Hall stated that he did not see why the election should cost so much as £60. He thought it would be possible to get volunteers to do the woak, and thus keep down the expense. It wou!d not be right to forfeit their privileges as electors by foregoing the election. It was calculated to cause stagnation in regard to such matters if elections were not held occasionally.—Mr Richard Hughes, in answer to Mr Ilall, said that the arrangements were in the hands of the clerk of the guardians, and could not be made as suggested. He had been elected by his denominatiun, and he had done his best, and could promise to do no more. -Dr Rowland Wiliiams believed that the Church of England ought to have two members.—Mr Richard Hughes remarked that ht several elec- tions the Church of Enplane! had failed to return more than one member.-Capt John Owen said that if all the old members retired, he would do likewise.—Mr Richard Hughes thought that if this course were persued, sufficient members would not be left to constitute a board.—The Rev Ernest S. Thies moved that one member should be elected for the Church of England; two for the Calvinistic Methodists two for the Independents one for the Baptists, and one for the Wesleyans. Some doubt was expressed as to whether this would have any effect, as several of the candidates were not present After some discussion, the resolution was carried, and the candidates requested to make arrangements as to withdrawals. 5 VALLEY PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY.—Before Major General Hughes (chairman), Griffith Williams, Esq., II. H. Wil- liatts, Esq., end Dr E. P. Edwards. TRANSFERS.—M* E. G.

The terra was to commence from the 20th of May. The boy did not come until the 23rd, and on the 25th complained of Lome fcickneos, and mysteriously disappeared the same evening. He had not returned to his employment since.—Cross- examined: He (witness) did not tell defendant that he might go rather than remain there -against his will. Witness's master was a week without a sarvant in consequence.— General iughes had no desire to press the case. He >nly wished to put a stop to such irregular pro- I ;eedings.—Defendant was ordered to pay costs, j ——Mr Hugh R.

FESTINIOG. U SALVATION ARMY.—The ceremony of laying the foundation stones of the new barracks was i: successfully conducted on Saturday last. For f some time past great inconvenience has been a experienced through the hall that they now use g being so much out of the way. To remedy this, 'j land was purchased in a central position on which I the Army is now busy erecting new barracks. I Commissioner Iliggins, one of the leading ] officers of the Salvation Army, conducted the j ceremony, assisted by Captains Rowlands and ( Lewis. A blind man added much to the success j of the meeting by his skilful manipulation of the concertina. The meeting commenced with prayers and singing. The Commissioner then read a portion of Scrirture and gave an address. i The barracks, he said, would be opened for the ) good of Festiniog, the doors would be thrown open for all classes; and he trusted that they .¡ would there be led to the truth. The first stone was laid by Captain Rowlands, on behalf of Doctor Evans who was unable to be present. The second was laid by Captain Clemence, on behalf of Mr A. M. Dunlop, who had given a cheque for E5 53, and had expressed his deep sympathy with the work of the Army. Brother Parry laid the next, and the Commissioners iaid the fourth on behalf of the International Head- quarters. The Barracks will cost about £ 550. Out of this sum £100 is to be raised by local corps, S30 has already been collected, and with the cash placed on the stones and the amount of the collecting cards and collections in connec- tion with this ceremony about £50 will be realised.

LLANDUDNO. THE LATE PIRATING.—Arrangements have been made to take away the boat lately stolen in the Dee. THE SEASON.—There are general complaints that the season is not as brisk here as usual, and to the general election, as well as a leaden sky, is attributed this state of things. At the same time there is a considerable number of visitors in the town, as evidenced by the crowded atten. dance nightly at the Pier Pavilion, St, George's Hall, and on the Promenade.

TORIES AND DISESTABLISHMENT. A REMARKABLE letter was received at Accriug- ton on Monday from the Rev Mordant Crofton, I Vicar of Christ Church, West Bromwich, who was asked by an Accriugton Churchman if he could advise Churchmen to vote for Mr Leese, who had declared for Disestablishment. Mr Crofton replied that Disestablishment was not before the electors. The question they had to decide, he .3aid, was Ireland, and he invited all I Broad Churchmen to record their votes for Home Rule. He thought a Conservative r ^0J-erunm8Ilt was -iust as ]iSe!.V to pass a Dises- tablishment Measure as a Liberal Government, ( it by doing so it could keep in office.

AMUSEMENT ON THE RAILWAY. On a long or short journey, the time slip away in trjmg to puzzle out the meaning of the mystic letters on the Lanterns advertising Hudson's Soap. Here is an explanation of some of them:— M.L.C. Much Longer Clean. Anything washed with Hudson's Soap is thoroughly washed, therefore remains Much Longer Clean. Q.A.S. Quick and Safe. Hudson's Soap is a rapid washer, and will not injure the most delicate fabric. L.N.S. Leaves No Smell. A distinct advantage over all other Soaps, Hudson's Leaves No Smell. H.S.H. Home, Sweet Home.

THE GENERAL ELECTION. I ANGLESEY. j; MR THOMAS LEWI8'S CANDIDATURE. |' BRYNSIENCYN. On Saturday night, a meeting was held at the schoolroom, in support of Mr Thomas Lewis's candidature.—Mr G. J. Roberts, J.P., Trefarthin, who p,esided, said he was glad to see so many present on such a stormy night. It was most imporiant for them in looking at what was taking place throughout the kingdom to know what to listen to and what to believe, because 30 much was said by both sides that great care WHS required in forming an opinion on the questions involved. As to Home Rule for Ireland, he was of opinion that such a measure v ould not interfere with the religion of the rjeaple (applause). Wales had been for years lighting for Disestablishment, and no candidate ,i ought to be returned who would not vote for it (applause).—Mr W. H. Jones proposed a vote of confidence in Mr Gladstone and Mr Lewis.—Mr A W. J. Parry, in seconding, compared the political I history of both candidates, and showed that a from 1852 to 1802 Mr Lewis had been a con- t sistent Liberal. Mr Morgan Lloyd was not the j same sort of politician now as in 1868 and '74. 1 True, he was supported in a letter by the lord- c lieutenant. He did not wish to say one dis- c respectful word of Mr Davies, for that gentle- 1 man had done much in the past on behalf of the ] Liberal cause, and they were sorry he had i changed his colour. But was it likely that the ] people of Anglesey were going to accept his ( letter when they had refused the writer person- i ally ? (.applause), Mr Lloyd had fallen into i bad company—a company which would not i support the measures in which Wales was deeply interested (applause).-The motion was then passed unanimously.—Mr Thomas Lewis. who was loudly cheered, next addressed the meeting. He said that during his six years of parliamentary life not a single word had been said against the way in which he.had voted. The work in Parliament was chiefly to prevent the Tories from doing wrong, and to help them to do good. Did any of them know of any single measure which the Conservatives themselves had formulated ? No, all the good measures in- troduced by them were started by the Liberals. Having alluded to his selection as a candidate by the Liberal Association, Mr Lewis said that if elected he would be a thoroughly independent member in Parliament. He would not be under obligation to anyone except the electors of Anglesey (applause), and he expected no favours from the Government. The honour would be to represent the ancient county of his birth, and m endeavouring to do some good for his fellow-countrymen (applause). Professor Ellis Edwards, Bala. followed. i Speaking of Irish Home Rule and the speeches which had been made in that county by Irish I Presbyterian ministers, he referred to the com- plete refutation contained, inlan article in this month's Contemporary Review. The Rev John Williams having offered a few remarks the meeting terminated with the usual votes of thanks.

MR LEWIS AT VALLEY. Mr Thomas Lewis addressed an open-air meeting on Monday evening, at the Valley, and had a most hearty reception.—Councillor Hugh Jones (Einion Chwith), who presided, mentioned ¡ that there was only one Unionist from Wales in the last Parliament, namely, Colonel Cornwallis West; but, instead of returning him again to Parliament they were going to keep him in Denbigh (laughter). He held a telegram in hia hand announcing the victory of Mr Lloyd-George (loud and prolonged cheers). Sir John Puleston had left a sinking ship at Devonport, and had jumped to the Carnarvon one, which had just struck on political rocks and gone to pieces (laughter).—The Revs Thomas Hughes (B), Llan Id uia.and O.Gaianydd Williams, Holyhead: having a .sdressed the meeting, Mr Lewis, who was received with loud cheers, spoke, dealing with the principal political questions, foremost amongst which were Home Rule for Ireland. Disestablishment and Diseudowment of the Church in Wales, and the application of tfae tithes towards national purposes. Mr Lewis also mentioued the various measures he would support if he should be returned to Parliament. —Mr J. L. Pierce There is no if about it.- At the close of Mr Lewis's address, Mr George Salt (who is preparing for the Church, and is not an elector in the county) stepped forward and asked Mr Lewis whether it was a fact that Lord Stanley of Alderley supported him.—Mr Lewis replied that the Right Hon. Lord Stanley had told him twice personally in the House of Commons that he was in his favour (cheers).—Mr Salt asked why did Lord Stanley support him ?—Mr Lewis answered that Lord Stanley said he supported him on account of the knowledge he had of him (Mr Lewis). Lord Stanley had taken charge of the Anglesey Assize and Quarter Sessions Bill for him in the House of Lords, and they had come into intercourse often in connection with that. He had also, subsequently, seen a letter from Lord Stanley to a gentleman in Anglesey in his favoar.- Mr Salt was about to proceed to put another question when the audience lost patience, and showed their disapproval of the questioning, but Mr Lewis appealed to them to allow any fair questions to be put to him, as he < was not ai icd of answering auy question. Upon •, silence being restored, Mr Salt asked whether it was a fact that Mr Lewis had supported Lord Stanley's Hares snu Rabbits Bill ?—Mr Lewis j replied that he had introduced in the House of Commons the bill brought forward in the House of Lords by Lord Stanley in favour of having a closed time for hares. lie had done so at the request of Mr Jones, of Gwredog, and other prominent Liberals in Anglesey, who said that the measure would prove beneficial (cheers). Upon this trie feeling of the audience became too intense for Mr Salt to put any more ques- tions, and he left, evidently having come out second best.—A vote of confidence in Mr Lewis was then passed upon the motion of Councillor Owen Pie.ce, seconded by Mr R. Lloyd, Tre- I flesg, and the proceedings terminated in an orderly manner with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

MR MORGAN LLOYD AT HOLYHEAD. On Tuesday evening, the supporters of Mr Morgan Lloyd, Q.C., thn Unionist candidate for Anglesey, held a meeting at the Holyhead Town Hall. The hall was inconveniently crowded and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested throughout by his supporters. The duties of the police who were present in large numbers were, however, comparatively light, as the utmost order prevailed.—Captain R. B. Cay, R.N., occupied the chair and read a telegram from the Right Hon. E. Carson, Q.C., Solicitor-General for Ireland; who had been announced to speak, regretting inability to attend on account of pressure of business. The Chairman then intro- duced the speakers to the meeting in a few appropriate wards.-Au Irish Presbyterian min- ister from tha North of Ireland was the first speaker, dealing mainly with the opposition of the North of Ireland people to a Parliament being established in Dublin, and appealing to the Nonconformists of Wales to support them in the struggle.—Messrs George Thompson, J.P., and — Chambers, of Dublin, also addressed the assembly.—Mr Morgan Lloyd on rising was well received. He said that the question upon which the election must turn was Home Rule. Referring to local affairs Mr Lloyd maintained that the prosperity of the port depended upon the maintenance of the union; and under such circumstances it would be unwise not to maintain the Imperial. Parliament. The learned gentleman resumed his seat amidst hearty cheers.—Captain Pritchard Rayner, formerly the Conservative candidate for Anglesey, followed, and on the proposal of Colonel Hampton Lewis, seconded by Mr James Gunn, a resolution was adopted pledging the meeting to support the candidature of Mr Morgan Lloyd. A vote of thanks to the chair- man brought the meeting to a close.

DENBIGH. BRRACH OF TRUST AND TUEFT.-At a special borough court, held last Tuesday, before the Mayor and Alderman E. T. Jones, Thomas Morris, butcher, and David Davies, labourer, were charged on remand with stealing 3.5 pounds of wheat, valued at is 6d from a malt house at Brook-house, the property of Mr P. E Story. From the evidence of Sergeant Wise it appeared thathe and P.C.Turner were on the morning of the 4th, after four o'clock,at.Brook-house. They were there in consequence of complaints of robberies in that district. They saw David Davies opening the meat-house with a key, and Morris and him- self went in. In a short time Davies was seen giving Morris a bag. The officers then approached and seeing them, Morris threw his bag into hia own house; the two men were then apprehended, and when charged, Davies said that Morris had asked him for wheat, as his pigs had been short of food, Morris said that he had asked Davies for the wheat as his pig was ill. -Mr P. E. Story said that Davies was occasionally employed at the malt-house, lie was entrusted with a key so that he could go in and see that every- thing was allright. Witness did not desire to press the charge.—Both pleaded guilty,and defendants were fined X10 and costs, or in default six weeks imprisonment. ACCIDENT TO DR PISRCB.—On the day of the Denbigh election (Thursday), an accident happened to Dr Pierce, his coachman, and his Carriage. During the morning the carriage had been at the disposal of the Liberal candidate, being used to convey voters to the poll. Early in the afternoon Dr Pierce himself came to vote and after doing- so, proceeded home in his own carriage. Unfortunately, on going at a speed down Vale-street, the carriage collided with a milk-cart from the Cotton Hall farm, and was upset,the coachman being thrown violently down and receiving somewhat severe injuries to the head. He was unconscious for some time. Luckily, Dr Pierce escaped without a scratch. much to the gratification of the large crowd that had gathered around. He was, however, considerably upset, and another carriage was procured to take him home.

"THE PRETTIEST HOLIDAY RESORT IN W ALES.A short time ago the enterprising owner of Tit-bits offered a prize of five guineas for the best article on the above subject. It seems that a large number of compositions were re- ceived, but the one on Llandudno carried the prize, the authoress being Miss A. Dodd, 35, Belsize Park Gardens, London, N.W. It is a very valuible and interesting article, the only blemishes being the spelling of Welsh words an d wrong account of the derivation of the same. SHIP IN DISTRESS.—On Sunday the schooner Hannah," of Preston, bound from Dundalk to Liverpool, with a cargo of gravel, sprang a leak while crossing the Channel. The crew, after strenuous efforts, were able to run her into Llandudno Bay, and attempted to make for the beach under Craigydon, well-known as a stormy dangerous spot. They were warned off, and John Hughes, coxswain of the lifeboat, with Williams, second in command, boarded the vessel, and brought her ashore to a place of safety. The vessel seemed to have staunced after been a tide on the ground, and her crew were able to take her off for Liverpool on the following day.

LLANERCHYMEDD. EXTRAORDINARY POLICE ACTION.-At the special sessions held here on Wednesday last, before General Hughes and Hugh Roberts, Esq., a Mrs Jones, of Gwalchmai, was charged by P.C. Owen Williams with obtaining 30s by false pre- tences from John Jones, of Llantrisant.—Mr E. G. Roberts appeared for the defence.-In cross- examination, John Jones said he had never authorised the police to institute the proceed- ings, and the case therefore was dismissed.

LLANRWST. THE BOARD SCHOOL.—The ordinary meeting of this board was held on Monday. Present: Messrs John Hughes (chairman), Edward Mills (vice-chairman). E. J. Williams, Griffith Jones. George Wyane. W. J. Williams, Richard James (the clerk).-A letter was read from Mrs Roberts, Frondeg, asking that her daughter, Maggie, who was in indifferent health, might be released from her duties as pupil teacher. It was decided to grant application at next quarter day. —A resolution was passed that the schools be white-washed and cleaned during the summer holidays.—Mrs Powell, mistress of the school at Capel Garmon, applied for an increase of salary, and the same was raised from S18 to X30 a year. — Mr E. J. Williams undertook to see that certain repairs he made to the Capel Garmon School preparatory for the examin ttion, which takes place this week. Cheques to the amount of £ 160 were signed for salaries, and other bills were ordered to be paid.—The attendance for tha mouth, as compared with the same period last year, had much improved. The proceedings ol the board over, the respective teachers joined the members to consider the subject ot giving the children a treat. It was decided that this should take place when the schools were re-opened after the holidays. CHURCH CHORAL FESTIVAL.—A choral fes- tival for the Rural Deanery of Llanrwst and district was held on Thursday in the Parish Church in this town. The choristers were drafted from the two churches in that towu, and from Llangerniew, Llanrhos, Eglwysbach, Capel Garmon, and Llanddoget, the party numbering about 250. and having been rehearsing under the tuition of Mr D. Parry, organist of St. Mary's Church, who was conductor on the present occasion. The service was taken from what is known as the Vale of Clwyd Book." At the 3 p.m. English service the clergy of the Rural Deanery appeared robed, presenting an imposing r appearance. The Bishop of St. Asaph delivered an excellent sermon on the origin and develop- ment of music, and concluding with practical advice on the duties of choirs. The Church was crowded. The choristers at 4 p.m. partook of a substantial repast prepared by friends in the town. In the evening there was Welsh service when the sacred edifice was full. Again the various old tunes and hymns were rendered. The officiating clergyman was the Rev E Davies, rector of Llanllechid, who delivered an eloquent discourse on the subject, mostly con- nected with the festival. Mr D. Parry, organist and choir-master, discharged his duties in a most efficient manner. The event turned out a great success, there being no hitch from first to last.

PWLLHELI. CATTLE STRAvixG.—Before Owen Evans, Esq., and other justices, last Wednesday, Wil- liam Jones, butcher. Llangian, who did not appear, was fined 2s, costs 10s, for allowing two cows to stray on the highway.-p.e. Pugh gave eviden ce,

LIBERAL GATHERING AT HOLYHEAD. On Friday evening last Mr Thomas Lewis's supporters held a meeting at the Holyhead town hail, under the presidency of Mr Thomas Wil- liams, Cross-street, who was supported on the platform by Alderman Richard Hughes, Messrs Owen Jones (Lleingoch), Owen Morris C.C., Evan Evens, Church-terrace. R. H. Williams, Andrew Griffith, William Roberts (Bryn Seriol), T. R. Jones (Kingsland), G. Williams (watchmaker), W. J. Parry, J.P. (chairman Carnarvonshire C.C., Mr and Mrs Henry Lewis, Bangor; Mrs W. R. Jones, Dr Roland Williams, Revs J. Hughes Parry (Armeniaj, and — Matthias, Llanfach- raeth. The meeting, one of, the largest ever held here, was most orderly and enthusastic through- out.—The chairman opened the proceedings with brief remarks on the question of Home Rule and Disestablishment, which were warmly applauded.—Councillor Owen Morris, in a humorous speech, contended that they should have not only Home Rule for Ireland, but for Wales, Scotland, and England, with seperate parliaments.-The Rev J. Hughes Parry said he had attended a meeting of their political oppo- nent in this hall a few evenings ago, when those addressing the assembly seemed to arrogata to themselves all conscientiousness and sincerity. One of the speakers was surpised that any minister could support Home Rule, but his (the speaker's) surprise was that any minister was to be found who did not suoport it. Which was most consistent with the Gospel, to stir up re- ligious hatred or to spread love and brother- hood ? Surely the latter (applause). The speaker thea alluded to the Isle of Man as enjoying Home Rule, and being peaceful and con- tented, no one ever imagining it as any thing else but a part of the United Kingdom; and under similar conditions why should not Ireland do the same ? (applause). —The Rev Mr Matthias, Llanfachraeth, next spoke of the splendid services the Liberals had done the nation by passing great measures of reform in several directions.—Mr Henry Lewis, Bangor, reviewed the uprising of the democracy in France, when the working classes asserted their rights. He also referred to the Austrian difficulty with Hungary until Home Rule was conceded them; and now they were a happy and prosperous people. Ireland was in a pre- cisely similar condition, and asserted as un- mistakably as did the Hungarians that they want Home Rule as a distinct nationality. Every nation had a right to govern itself, and as a matter of justice it ought to be allowed. He in- dulged in the hope that the motto of those pre- sent was trust in God and do the right" (applause) -Dr Roland Williams expressed the I pleasure it would afford Mr Thomas Lewis to hear of the orderly meeting that they had held that Di-^ht, aud he (Dr Roland Williams; trusted that they would conduct themselves equally as well at Mr Morgan Lloyd's meeting, and give everybody a fair hearing. He then read a telegram intimating that Professor Ell's Edwards, of Bala, and the Rev Richard Morgan ( W.), Bethesda, who were to have addressed the meeting, were unable to be present as they were fighting the battles of Mr Lloyd-George in the Ci'.rsarvonshire boroughs (applause).—Mr W. J. Parry, in a very effective address, rneutioned tiie fact that Mr Thomas Lewis had always proved himself a consistent Liberal fighing the battles of freedom from a very early period in his history, whereas Mr Morgan Lloyd had shewn himself grossly inconsistent during his political carter (cheers). — The Chairman said that attempts were being made to apply the screw in connection with the forthcoming election, and some working men were in danger if they re- corded their votes for Mr Lewis but he urged them to be faithful to the great causeof Liberalism (cheers).—Mr Henry Lewis said that he was sorry to hear from the chairman that an attempt was being made to apply the "screw," but he hoped that the working class would repudiate any such attempts. He regretted that Mr Morgan Lloyd had become the prey of those who could resort to such tactics, which he thought was a thing largely of the past, lie was pleased with the exemplary conduct of the audience, and had pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman. This was seconded by Mr J. W. Parry, and carried unanimously.

CARNARVON BOROUGHS. THE POLLING. CARNARVON. The polling took place on Saturday, the keenest interest being manifested. As soon as the poil opened, a large number of electors availed themselves of the first opportunity to record their votes. Both nides worked hard. There was a profusion of party colours, and a plentiful supply of vehicles. The two candidates paid a visit to the town during the day, and were enthusiastically cheered by their respective supporters. The poll was very heavy, and at half-past three in the afternoon the Liberals had brought almost every man up. In the Western Ward, out of 818 voters on the roll, including deaths, removals and absentees, 771 were polled. In the Eastern Ward. 683 voters out of 776 were polled, the other 93 being either dead or absent at sea. The presiding officers were Mr J. T. Roberts and Mr E. H. Morris. Mr J. R. Pritchard and Mr J. R. Hughes worked ener- getically in superintending the canvassing work for the Liberals. It is stated that a case of per- sonation was discovered during the day, but no arrest was made. A somewhat strange incident occurred at the Guild Hall, where a. prominent townsman had taken rather a prominent position. Just as a well-known divine was entering the booth, the townsman extended him his hand,but to the astonishmentof the bystanders the divine exclaimed: Nc, thank you. I can crack my own jokes without borrowing them from you." The occurrence caused some laughter. It is said that one vote was refused on the ground that the elector expressed his desire in the booth to vote for Sir John Preston. The presiding officer (Mr J. T. Roberts) asked the voter, after the first declaration had been made by him, whom he wished to vote for, and having repeated the mistake he was disqualified. The poll closed without any serious disturbance, and the police were to be complimented for being able to cope with such excitement in a manner which gave satisfaction to bith sides. Mr R. 0. Roberts for the Liberals, and Mr George Owen for the Conservatives, did their respective duties as agents in a most commendable manner. The ballot boxes were locked in the Guild Hall until Monday morning. BANGOR. There was a heavy poll here and never was the organisation of the Liberals in a more per- fect order. An incident which attracted atten- tion was, it is said, the wearing of a yellow flower i»y Mr Young, chief agent of the Peurhyu Quarries. During the day a telegram was posted up at the Chronicle office announcing the defeat of Mr Osborne Morgan and the rumour prevailed that preparations wore being made to celebrate the event,and that a very high official connected with the Penrhyn estate had despatched a telegram of congratulation to Sir Watkin. The Liberals took advantage of the glorious triumph achieved by Mr Osborne Morgan aud sent "sandwich" mea around the town with the result. The poll closed without any disorder, though feeliogs ran very high ou both eides. CONWAY. In Conway the poiiing was heavy for the first couple of hours. There are on the list 511 persons, but with duplicates, removals, deaths, &c., only 481 voters were expected to appear. Of this number 415 came forward, and it is con- sidered the heaviest poll ever taken at Conway. Most of the 30 who did not appear were accounted for by illness or absence from home. The poll was only taken at the Guild Hall, although a. large section of th' voters reside turee miles off on the Tyvyn side, Mr T. E. Parry, town cleric, ivas the presiding officer. Mr William Joi'cs, labourer, Mount-pleasant, a Con- servative, was the first to vote. Both parties were well assisted by friends with vehicle?, the Liberals by Messrs T. Junes, Berthlwyd; Jones, grocer; John Williams, Central Build ings; John Roberts, grocer, Clatle-strtiet; Harrop, Tywyn Elias Davies, Farmyard Dr Morgan, t.nd others; while the Tory vehicles were lent by Dr Arthur Prichard, C.C., the Hey H. Rees, vicar; Messrs Lees, Cartret Mel us; L;jw:s, grocer; Humphrey Lewis, J. W. Mason, &s. There was much excitement -when the box was taken shortly after 8 p m, to the railway station for Carnar- von, bu', iu a short time the place became quiet. THE COUNTING OF THE VOTES. The counting took place at the Guild IhI:, Carnarvon, ou Monday morning at ten o'clock. A large numbor of people arrived iu town early, and shortly after eleven o'clock a vast crowd had gathered in High-street waiting for the result. In contrast to Saturday, there was a preponderance of the Liberal colour. The Con- servatives, who had been during the week very confident;, seemed exceedingly downcast, and freely admitted that they had been beaten. Long Keure the result wag declared it was ascertained that vlr George had been returned. It is alleged that some mistake was made in counting the ballot p-.pers and that Mr J T. Roberts marie a discovery which helped to swell Mr Lloyd-George's majority. Two bundles belonging to Mr George were found amongst Sir John Puleston's papers. How they came there is a mystery which Las caused a great deal of talk. About twelve o'clock loud cries were raised that Mr George had won by a majority of 200. Prior to the declaration Mr Lloyd-Goorge, M.P., proposed a vote ot thanks to the (Alderman John Davies), the re- turning orficer, and alluded to the satisfaction at Saturday having been fixed for the polling day.—Sir John Puie&ton, in seconding the motion, said that he also was extremely pleased that the polling day had been tjxed on Saturday as he had suggested.—The Mayor, in respond- ing, said that, no one could have made a more pleasant impression on the constituency than Sir John Puleston. The correct figures were not forthcoming until the Mayor, shortly after twelve o'clock declared the result; as toiiows :— Lloyd-George 2154 Puleston. 1958 Majority 106 The announcement evoked considerable enthu- siasm, and the successful candidate was escor- ted to the Liberal Club by a vast crowd. In the meantime the Club had been gaily decorated with festoons of flags and bannerettes by Mr Eardley, the manager, assisted by Home of tli3 members. By th:s time of people htid assembled in Sangor-street, the wildest enthusiasm prevailing. When Mr Lloyd- George, M.P., appeared on the balcony, he was loudly cheered again and again. lIe was ac- companied by Mr J. R. Pritchard, chairman of the Carnarvonshire Association; Rev Ellis Edwards, Bala; Messrs Ellis J. Griffith, J. R. Hughes, T. U. Lewis, Henry Lewis, G. B. ¡ rhomas, R. O. Roberts (agent), David Jones, &c. Mr George was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Miss C. J. Abbott, .Eastgate-street, on aehalf of her mother. Three hearty cheers having been given for Mrs Lloyd-George, Mr J. R. Pritchard said that excellent work had been done in this contest. They had been working for principles that would never die (applause). Mr Lloyd-George, M.P., who was again the signal for loud out-burst of cheering, addressed the assembly in Welsh. He observed that the ancient boroughs of Carnarvon had proved with- out a shadow of dcubt that Liberal principles had carried the day with an unmistable lllll jority (applause). They knew that religious equality had won the day (applause). Mr J. R. Pritchard had said that the victory was attributed to him (Mr George). It was nothing of the sort. but to the principles,they uDheld—la voice: And to you also "and applause)—and to the excellent work done by all of them. He did not remember a single election in which ] every Liberal had worked so hard, so diligently, and so thoroughly. He hoped he would be able to represent them worthy of the work done for him ("There's no doubt about that") and that he would be no worse representative to the Tories. lie would not be a mere party man, but a representative of the Carnarvon boroughs, and whenever anyone wished him to speak for him, or ask a question on his behalf, he (Mr George) was at his service (applause), He again thanked them for the enthusiastic reception accorded him, Although the contest had been one of the fiercest ever fought in the boroughs, he was glad to say it had been, on the whole, free from personalities. The vast majority of his opponents had conducted the battle with courtesy and fair-play, and he could say the same thing of the Liberals. The fight had been won upon principles. It was Liueralism that had triumphed, and not himself; and he hoped they had won a final victory that day (loud applause). The Rev Ellis Edwards, said they had shown ] that day that they could fight for themselves (cheers). They knew what was what. The workingmen had done magnificently in the election, and the best thing was then the man who was going to Parliament was a man who would look after the interests of the working- men (cheers). It had been said that if Mr Gladstone had not a big majority he would send the Home Rule bill to the House of Lords and they would reject it. Then he would send a Disestablishment bill to the House of Lords and they would rejact that, and then he would send a one man one vote bill to the House of Lords, and they would reject that. Mr Gladstone would then appeal to the country on a reform in the House of Lords (great cheers). He (the speaker) would like that in order that some of the lords, at any rate, might be turned away. Concluding he expressed his belief that this was the beginning of better things for the workingmen of Wales. Mr T. C. Lewis, Banger, said that the boroughs in the past had been changeable, but he hoped now the Tories would find out that Liberal and Nonconformist principles would prevail (applause). Three cheers were then given for Bangor, Conway, Criccieth, Nevin and Pwllheli. Mr J. R. Hughes said that this contest had been won in spite of the influence of the gantry and without the help of beer or "ticrew" (applause). Mr Lloyd-George next thanked those who had worked on his behalf, viz., Mr J. R. Pritchard (chairman of the general committee), Mr J. R. Hughes, the Rev E. Herber Evans, D.D., Rev Evan Jones, Lieutenant W. L. Davies, Mr R. O. Roberts, his able agent, and others, especially the ladies. Mr Henry Lewis, Bangor, said that the new element in this election was the national feeling J which had beep so eloquently represented by Mr ( George. Long might that patriotic feeling con- tinue (applause). Mr Ellis J. Griffith, who was heartily cheered, said that on behalf of the Anglesey people he wished to thank them for the example they had given them. It would have been a shame and a disgrace if Mr George had lost after the work he had done in Parliament. The election would have a good effect upon other contests in Wales (A voice We won't hear of Morgan Lloyd after to-day," laughter and applause). The battle had been won though almost every parson and every publican was against them (hear, hear). He hoped the Liberals would continue to leave the beer to the Tories, and that all public-houses would be closed on polling days if not a week before (laughter, applause and a voice. Yes, close them for ever "). At St. Asaph the other day he saw the Dean's horse and carriage carrying Tories to the poll. What did they think of the people of Wales paying for the Dean's horse and trap to convey electors who were against the interests of Wales (ap- plause). By the next election he hoped the Dean would have no horse and trap at the expense of the country (applause). A large number of congratulating telegrams were announced to have been received, Mr l'hos. Ellis wiring "Ten thousand congratulations." Mr David Jones also made a witty speech, °nd referred to the great victory they had achieved, and urged them to help Mr Bryn Roberts that day in the Eivion division. Mr George afterwards left for Ean^'r. THri DEFEATED PARTY. Sir John Puleston was also received with hearty cheers by his 'supporters, a large number of whom escorted him to the Conservative Assembly Hall. The appearance of Sir John on the platform was the signal for !oud and pro- longed cheers. He was accompanied by Mrs Ashurst Morris, his daughter, Sir Llewelyn Turner, Mr Ellis Nanney, Colonel Piatt, Captain N. P. Stewart. Mr Issard Davies, Colonel Main- waring, Major Lloyd Evan- Mr Richard Tnomus, chairman of the Conservative Work- Ingmen's Ci b, AIr Cled wyn O.ven, Mr Oweu Thomas, and others. The chair was taken by Mr Richard Thomas. He said he was glad to be there at the close of the contest,and although they had been defeated they were not discouraged nor discredited. Car- narvon had worked splendidly, and H Sir John Puleston's life and health were spared to con- test the boroughs Hgain. he would no doubt be returned as their representative. Ttiey remem- bered how the late ,Nlr ,vas at first defeatod, but when the second time he fought their battle he ^as returned with a triumphant majority. He had not the slightest hesitation in saying that at the next election, which to all appearances was not far a distant date, Sir John would be returned if they were all to be united. Sir John Pulestoo, who was enthusiastically received, thanked the electors of Carnarvon most warmly for the splendid support they had given him. If every place had done like Carnarvon he was sure he would have beaten his opp 'nena by a large majority (cheers). Although ha was not their member he was happy to say his connec- tion with them would not cease (cheers). He I should always continue to take a warm interest in their old historic town and castle, Yond in various other ways with the object of advancing their prosperity (cheers). It w;is gratifying to him to think that as he left town that day he lelt without a single bitter feeling towards friend or foe (cheers). There were many things during the contest which he wished had been otherwise, but it was theu neither the time nor the place to refer to other individuals' state- ments or actions (loud cheers). He desired to appreciate warmly the efforts rendered on his behalf by those who worked for him and the cause lie represented. Although pledges given him had not, been redeemed, and promises made had net been fulfilled, still he was not, dis- appointed. In conclusion he hoped he had not disappointed anyone as R candidate (" No, no," and cheers). He believed he had field hid nwn and had not disgraced the cause. -'V _'m Mr HHis-Xaoney. who was warmly received, thanked Sir John for the noble way in which he had battled for the Unionist party. He had proved himself a grand candidate, and had not in any way spared himself. He had gallantly done his duty for the boroughs of Carnarvon and for the country generally. The principles Sir John advocated still stood as they did before. Although unsuccessful they would again fight for those principles, and whatever was the result I they would never be wanting in doing their best to maintain the unity of their great and glorious empire (cheers). Personally he had done his best, for Sir John, and only wished to have seen him returned to represent them that, day. The good services rendered by Sir John, however. would not be ineffective, and eventually he firmly believed that the Conservative party would win the Carnarvon Boroughs—(cheers')— and that they would return a member to support a Government which acted and not merely con- fined itself to promises. Sir Llewelyn Turner said that he wished he had the chance to ask Mr Gladstone questions which concerned every individual in this country as to the Home Rule question, and whether he would defend murder and barbarous deeds of every shape and form in Ireland, It required a good and steady man to store a house full of furniture, but any fool was able to light a match and put them on fire and destroy them all. It was exactly the same with the Irish question. They had a Government with Lord Salisbury at the head of it (cheers), and with Mr Balfour, a man who would be an honour to any country, and who had conducted the Irish affairs w.th quietness and order. When Mr Gladstone was Prime Minister, neither the Chief Secretary of Ireland nor anybody else in Ireland j was safe in discharging his duty, and he was sure no sensible man was desirous of seeing these deeds repeated (cheers). I Sir John Puleston said he wished to express his sincere thanks for the Conservative enthu- '1 siasm shown him in every borough throughout the contest. He also wished to bear testimony to the excellence of the manner in which the Mayor of Carnarvon had steered clear of partiality; especially in discharging his dutiSPH returning officer, and the excellent temper and ability with which he conducted the affairs. He had the assurance from the mayor's lips that he (Sir John) had made an excellent and lasting impression upon the people in this borough. Mr Nanney proposed a vote of thanks to Mr George Owen which was secondad amidst great enthusiasm. After singing the National Anthem the company dispersed. SCUFFLES. A conflict took place during the afternoon in Castle-street. It appears that as Dr Parry was entering the street, where a lot of Conservatives had gathered, shouting and hooting, a young woman jumped at him, and snatched his yellow ribbon. He demanded it back, but was sur- rounded by a menacing crowd. A Conservative friend came to his rescue, and he reached his residence safely. Shortly afterwards, Mrs Parry and Mrs Evan Jones were making for the house followed by a crowd, some of whom got on the door-step. There was an impression that an attack was going to be made on the house, and a word was sent to the Liberal Club. A large number of Liberals came on the scene, and several scuffles took place, but with no serious result. At night, the Liberals had a large torchlight procession, and some fireworks was let off in Castle-square. police, under the superintendence of D.C.O. Davies, deserve the highest praise i'or maintaining order durinc the dav.: BANGOR.—RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS. I Mr Lloyd-George, M.P., arrived in Bangor about 2.30 p.m, and a tremendous crowd had gathered outside the station-yard. A procession was formed, followed by several carriages, and the utmost enthusiasm was shown along the route through High-street, Hirael, Garth, Upper Bangor and Glanadda. At Bank-place, and amid the hooting of a few apprentices outside the Chronicle office, the honourable member thanked the electors for the confidence they bad once more reposed in him, and for the fealty to the liberal cause. Returning to the station, Mr George was met on the platform by Mr D. Wil- liams, editor of the Chronicle, and Dr Langford Jones (who had seen Sir John Puleston off by express) both of whom congratulated the newly elected member. He left by the 4.10 train for Carnarvon, and went on to Pwllheli. At Car- narvon, again, cheers were raised as the train left the station. At night, a procession of Liberals, bearing torches, in honour of Air Lloyd-George's return to Parliament, after passing all round Bangor, proceeded to the bottom of High-street, return- ing thence to the Conservative Club, in passing which on their way down they gave three cheers for Mr Lloyd-George. These were responded to by hooting, and on the return of the proces- sionists they were met by a body of exasperated Conservatives, who dashed into the midst of the procession, tearing down the flag bearing the words Lloyd-George and Cymru Fydd," and attempted to seize the torches. A free fight at once ensued, in spite of the desperate efforts of Inspector Prothero, Sergeant Ellis, and the police officers under their charge, in the course of which the windows of the Conservative Club were riddled with stones. The fight did not cease till the lights in the Conservative Club were extinguished, when the procession was re- formed and continued its progress. In the course of the evening a young mac had the hair of his head burnt off, it being stated that a quantity of paraffin had been thrown on to him and afterwards set fire to. The tumult con- tinued till late into the night. AN ASSEMBLY WITH "SMILING COUNTENANCES." In the evening, Colonel the Hon. W. Sackville West presided over a meeting of Sir John Puleston's supporters at the Workingmen's Club, which was inconveniently crowded. There were present Dr Langford Jones, deputy-mayor, Dr and Mrs Grey Edwards, Mr W. A. Dew, Mr and Mrs R. A. Pritchard, Mr D. Williams, Councillor G. T. Williams, &c. The chairman said he was proud to meet so many of their workers, and to observe that they had such smiling countenancies. Although they had lost the day, they in Bangor might take heart from the fact that they had given Sir John Puleston a majority of ihe votes in that city (cheers). Dr Langford Jones reminded them that in Ireland, which was chiefly concerned in the one issue before the country, the Conservatives were gaining seats. The voice of Ireland at the polls was declaiming against Home Rule. Mr David Williams said he was perfectly sure that they had not lost that day either on account of the weakness of their cause or the weakness of their candidate (cheers). He was persuaded that the more thoroughly Welsh people appreciated the true issues of the contest the more certain the Unionist cauee would be triumphant in the Principality. RECEPTION OF THE NEWS AT CONWAY. The news of the Liberal victory arrived shortly after 12.30 p.m. At the time, the petty sessions were being held in the building in Lancaster-square, where also stands the Liberal Club, and not far from which is the abode of the Conservatives. The shouts from outside were unmistakable signs to those in court that Mr Lloyd-George was victorious. Men and children i ran wildly about. It was stated at first that the Liberal had got in by 312, but it soon was made known that the majority was laG. Children for hours marched sround the town with a placard giving the true majority, and snatches of a Welsh song to the tune ot Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay After leaving Bangor and Carnarvon, and receiving the congratulations of the Liberal electors there, Mr Lloyd-George proceeded in the train to Portmadoc. At Penygroes station, the moment the train stopped, scores of people made a rush to the carnage occupied by Mr Lloyd-George, and gave him an ovation. The large number of people present seemed to be almost overcome with excitement, and passengers had some difficulty in makijg their way along the platform to the train. Mr Lloyd- George, speaking through the window, said that they had bad a splendid victory, which bespoke a similarly glorious victory forlir Bryn Roberts (loud cheers). He (Mr L!oy«l-Qeorge) was on his way to Portmadoc, to record his vote for Mr Bryn Roberts (cheers). The train then moved on amidst the deafening Hurrahs of the people. When Afonwen was reached. Mr Lloyd-George and party went into the Port- madoc train, There were in the same compart- ment two persons from Ulster. They knew Air Lloyd-George. Their feelings were So embittered against the young M.P. as to cause them to leave the compartment—another insttince of 'ha "toleration" and "freedom" which the bigotred Orangenae, of Ulster practice. At Cricciet.h station an immense crowd had assembled, and upon the train stopping, a loud shout of welcome reut the air. Miss George, the honourable member's sister, brought through the crowd Mr George's little 1 oy to the carriage door, and the meeting may be imagined. The newly-elected member then addressed the people, pointing to the grand victory which they had all accomplished tnat day. He was nn his way to vote for Mr Bryn Roberts^and would return to Criccieth later on in the evening. About 6.20 p.m. the train reached Portmadoc, where, to the surprise of Mr Lloyd-George and those with him. were hundreds of the sturdy Madoc Radicals in waiting to give Mr Lloyd- George a hearty reception. He was no sooner out of the train than he was taken into a con- veyance which was drawn through High- street and into Chapel-street, where he recorded his vote. Again he was drawn back aloi'^f Chapel-street, part of High-btreet, and back to the station, as he had only balf-an-hour to catch the train tor Pwllheli. the whole town was roused into the greatest enthusiasm. In p tssir.g through Criccieth, there were more de- monstrations. Pwllheli was reached at 7.45. Here the entrance to t')e station was blocked by carriages and people, and tremendous cheering followed the appearance of Mr Lloyd George in a large brake drawn by four horses. A torchlight procession was formed, headed by scores of children carrying small banners, and immediately in front of the brake n choir of youijg avn singing eb-ction songs. The proces- sion rmnched triumphantly through one or two of the pr.ncipal streets and into the Maes, where Mr Lloyd George spoke a few words, congratu- lating the Hectors upon their victory. Such was tbe enthusiasm of the populace that it was re- solved to take Mr George to Nevin, though be was very much fatigued. N^vin was reached very soon after nine o'ekek. The ancient borough was simply wild with excitement, and Mr Lloyd Geo.fzo had a princely reception. The settsraen from Llithfaen, &c., had come down to Nevin. Hwl helped to swell the acclaim to Mr Lloyd George. The iliglt-or rather the morning-bad ad- vanced before Mr Lloyd George raached Cric- cieth, where hundreds of people from the villages, &had assembled to give him a hearty welcome, The crowd met him at Llanystum- dwy, and drew the carriage to Criccieth. where thethroug wan greatly increased. The enthusiasm at Criccieth far exceeded that of 1S90, when Mr George was first returned. The honourable member was escorted past the Muriau, along Marine-terrace, up the Maes. and to Brynawel (Mr George's residence).

The nominations for Flintshire took place on Friday, before Mr R. n, V. Kyrke, sheriff and returning officer, and the following candidates were nominatedSir R. A. Cunliffe, Acton Park, Wrexbam, baronet; and Samuel Smith, Carleton, Prince's Park, Liverpool, merchant. In the evening, a great open-air was held, and, being the night preceding the election for the boroughs, large numbers attended to hear addresses from Mr W. Madden and Mr P. J. Ring. The Rev Josiah J ones presided. A resolution of confidence was passed with accla- mation in favour of Mr Herbert Lewis, and great excitment was caused in consequence of Mr Pennant holding an opposition meeting in the Town Hall, but no disturbance took place. DENBIGH BOROUGHS. DECLARATION OF THE POLL. The polling for the election of a member for Denbigh District (Denbigh, Ruthin, Wrexham, and Holt) took place last Thursday. In Denbigh, the polling booths were at the Council Cham- bers and ;the Borough Court. Mr Grimsby, St; Asaph, presided at the first, and Mr W. Jones, of the town clerk's office, at the second. There was also a booth at Henllan. The interests of the Liberal candidate, Mr Howell Williams, were looked after by Mr Gwilym Parry, Mr Howell Gee, and others, whilst similar offices were filled on the Conservative side by Mr John Davies, solicitor, and Mr W. H. Hughes, High-street. The voters polled up well. It was conceded on both sides that the Borough of Denbigh bad at least 100 Liberal majority.and that a substantial majority existed also on the same side at Henllan. Ruthin was also more Liberal than.it has been for years, and a Liberal gain of 30 was confidently expected there. On the other hand, Wrexbam and Holt had a decided majority in favour of the Conservatives. This majority, it was feared, could not be wiped off by other towns. The event proved haw well-grounded these fears were. The counting took place on Friday morning at the Council Chamber, the Mayor (Mr r. A. Wynne Edwards) being the returning officer. The result—Conservative majority ot 98—was made known shortly aftar eleven in the presence of a small number of people—it beojg announced sooner than ex- pected. Mr Kenyon'.s iiiujority at the election of 1886 was 211. lu 1 > it was 306, The Tories were very jubilant at the result, having suc- ceeded in getting their inan in, although by a majority reduced more than half, and the Liberals were correspondingly depressed. A shameful aitack was made by some prominent Conservatives on Mr Williams and other speakers at the Liberal Club after the result was made known. Rotten eggs were freely used, and one or two persons were hit. Very great indignation is felt at such an unprovoked attack by men who onght to know better. The' consequences of the attack can not. yet be calculated. The successful and unsuccessful candidates both travelled back to Wrexham from Denbigh by the same train, Mr VVilliam-; alighting at the Exchange Station, and Mr Keuyon at the Central Station, Mr Howell Willi.uns subsequently visited Holt, nnd at Jjig-ht ho addressed his sup- porters at the Reform Om'\ Wrexham. Mr Keuyon proceeded from the Central Station to the Geild Hall, where lie re< irded his vote for Sir Watkin Williams Wyn". and afterwards went to the Conservative C! .b, where a large number or his supporters were gathered to receive him. There were a'si a number of ladies present on the cJub b>uy, including the Hon. M rs Ken you an i Mrs 1), :10. Speaking from the bale r.y of the club, Mr Kenfoa said they had had an unusually stiff light, and they had h-ci to achieve a great victory (cheers). Gallant little Wales had begun well. She had return d the old member for the Denbigh Boroughs, and she had returned another Conservative for Montgomery Boroughs (cheers). That was .a good start, and a good day's work. He list(-, just voted for Sir Watkin (cheers), tmd now he was goiug to record his vote in the Newport Division of Shropshire. He was none of your oue-man-one-vote sort of fellows. He was a three-vote man that day (laughter aud cheers). He begged to thank hie opponents for their courtesy, us well as all his warm-hearted supporters Let them stick to him and he would stick to them (loud cheers). Colonel Cornwallis West then briefly addressed the crowd. He said he should retain his seat, as Mr Kenyun had done (cheers). His opponents thought they were going to draw a red-herring across their path, but they had uot succeeded in doing so. The electors were ftilly alive to the trick, and were firm in their determination to support the Unionist Government and to main- tain the supremacy of ao Imperial Parliament (cheers). They were not going t be taken in by promises which could never be fulfilled Ccheers). How about the Newcastle programme and Mr Morley (laughter), whose Cou.servativecolleague was 3000 and odd votes ahead of him ? (cheers). How about the electors of Birmingham and all the other large industrial centres ? (cheers). What did they say ? They were all in favour of the Uaion, and North|Wales was in favour of the Union febeers), and they would see a majority of Unionists returned to the new Parliament (loud cheers).
