Walker, J.P., presiding. There were on the platform a good number of Liberal Unionists, a few local Con- servatives, and a number of ladies including Mrs Cornwallis West.-The Chairman at the outset appealed to the well-known courtesy of Welshmen, for quietness.—Mr Moses Williams here rose, and asked whether if Col West got quietness, would he allow questions to be put afterwards.—The Chair- man: "Of course he will," but after, added, "there is one condition we must impose, and that is the questions must be written on a piece of paper. Mr Williams asked how they could write in a place like that.—(Cheers and uproar).—The Chair- man then said that if they were to be interrupted in that way the sooner they adjourned the meeting the better. Continuing, the Chairman said that he thought that all Liberal minded people would allow that Col West had no reason to be ashamed of presenting himself before the electors of West Denbighshire. No Government had ever passed more Liberal measures—(Cheers)—than the last Government. True, that was largely by the help of Liberal Unionists,—(Hear, hear)—but he be- lieved that there was a more Liberal feeling spreading among the Conservative party,—the old Tory was almost extinct.—Col West, who was received with some cheering then rose to address the meeting, but was at once assailed with a persistent stamping of feet, mingled with which were cries of Shut up addressed to those making the noise, and cries of Let's hear the speech." Col West sat down, and the Chairman, rising, said he was ashamed of those making a noise, and he reminded them that the convenors of the meeting could have them turned out if they (the convenors) wished. A number of Conservatives then went down the Hall, and took their seats among those who were stamping their feet, and, a degree of quietness ensuing, Col West resumed, remarking that those who did not wish to hear him should go out of the Hall, and not disturb the meeting. (Hear, hear, and cries of We won't go"). Upon Col West again proceeding with his address, Mr Moses Williams went up to the edge of the platform and addressed him, but Col West ignored him entirely, whereupon Mr F. Nunn invited Mr Williams to a quiet conversation on the steps leading to the platform. In the course of his remarks Col West incident- ally remarked, "We know that Mr Gladstone was the soul of truth." (Enthusiastic. Liberal cheers). A Voice That's the truest word you ever spoke." "He is a Grand Old Man," and "Cheers for him," which were given." Again proceeding, Col West said that he did not believe the Welsh people would follow Mr Gladstone in the matter of Home Rule,—(Cries of We will though," and cheers)—they would throw it out—(Loud cries of No, No "), and Mr Glad- stone had said that his Bill would bring about a Union of hearts (Hear, hear, and cheers). Col West Wait a bit. It's all very well to applaud sentiments, but what is the use of that when you know very well they can't be carried into effect. ("Nonsense" and cheers). Col West proceeded to give the different opinions the Parnellites and McCarthyites held concerning each other. A Voice They are quite as good as Col Saunderson." (Hear, hear, and laughter, and cheers). Col West How would you like such men to rule over you ?-(A Manchester Liberal John Bright said worse things about Disraeli," and cheers).—Well, I will tell you what Mr Bright said about them. —(The Manchester Liberal About Disraeli).-Col West proceeded to say that the late Mr Bright was one of the most prominent Liberal Unionists and one of the grandest charac- ters that the country had ever produced. Herellpon ensued a tremendous uproar, in the midst of which Mr William Davies (Glyndwr) was seen standing up in the Hall with a piece of paper in his hand, addressing the Chairman. Shouting at the top of bis voice in order to be heaJd above the din, the Chairman said "Sit down, Mr Davies." Mr Davies again attempted to speak, but with the same result, and a third attempt brought about a third presidential shout, "Sit down Mr Davies." A measure of quietness being at length attained, Col West expressed surprise that any man should create a disturbance at the mention of that great statesman, John Bright. Whatever were their opinions of him during his lifetime, surely they could respect his memory now that he was dead. (Cheers). Continuing, Col West said, This is what Mr Bright said-What Mr Bright said, however, was lost in the strains of Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay." and renewed uproar at the back of the Hall, but above the uproar was heard a voice crying Three cheers for the Grand Old Man," and these were at once given. Another Manchester Liberal here got upon a chair, and shouted in a stentorian voice, Will you give your opponents a fair hearing "-(Re- newed uproar and cheers). The Chairman If you don't keep quiet we will have the police in, and turn you out. (Hootings and laughter).—Mr John Roberts (Fern Bank) got on his chair, and, in Welsh, asked the audience not to disgrace their country. Mr Toppin also got up, and spoke to the same effect from the platform, but was hooted and jeered into sitting down again. Mr Moses Williams also appealed from his place for quietness, until at last a lull ensued, and Col. West, proceeding, inquired whether the audience wished him to stop. If they did not wish to hear him he would desist at once.—-(Voices "Go on," and laughter).—Col. West then said that con- versing with him on one occasion the late John Bright said, There is one thing I shall never forget Mr Gladstone for, and that is for breaking up that great instrument, the Liberal Party." Mr Bright also expressed his deepest regret that Mr Gladstone should be ready to forget the Loyal portion of Ireland and to deride their claims to be heard. Another attempt was now made to howl down the speaker, the noisy element scarcely listening to Mr John Roberts's appeal that they should listen quietly and then vote as they pleased. After the din had at last once more subsided, Col. West continuing, said that he asked the Welsh electors to weigh carefully the appeal of the nine hundred Protestant ministers of Ireland and to hesitate before they accepted Mr Gladstone's wild and mischievous scheme of Home-rule. He had been accused of being a turncoat but he should like to know who were the real political turncoats.—(Cries of" You are," laughter and cheers.)—-Who it was that asked them to go before the country and say that the Home-rule members for Ireland were not fit and proper persons to be entrusted with the govern- ment of that couiiti-N,(Uproar.)- The Liberal Unionists had not shifted from the position they had occupied all along. They were not the turncoats.—(Cheers and groans and a voice "Yes, they are.") -He had. given his support to the Unionist Government, which had been assisted by Mr Chamberlain, Sir Henry James, and others, —men of high distinction.—(Cheers and yells.)— Were they turncoats ? He should like to know whether they called such men as Chamberlain and Hartington turncoats.—(A Voice: "So they are, and cheers.)—Those men were the flower of the Liberal party,—(Cries of "No, no.")—and Mr Gladstone had only got the refuse of the party now.—(Indignant cries of "Shame," "No, no," and "The Tories have got the refuse," and cheering). Col. West It is not a Tory Government, it is a Unionist Government-Loud cries of No, no, Tory "). Col. West tried to proceed, but in vain, as a tremendous uproar was going on in consequence of his reference to the refuse" of the Liberal party, and one of the Manchester Liberals went to Col. West, and demanded that he should withdraw the offensive remark, while at the same time a young man a visitor advanced up the middle of the hall brandishing a stick and shouting excitedly Its a lie," a remark which elicited e xci great cheering. A number of Conservatives now advanced towards this young man apparently with a view of turning him out, but, the audience quickly surrounding them, prevented this. Cheers were demanded and given for Mr Gladstone, and the proceedings came to a complete stand-still. Mr Owen Williams, a Liberal member of the Local Board, now went to the front of the platform, and was understood to say to Col. West that the conduct of the audience was not fair, in reply to which Col. West said emphatically, It is grossiv unfair." The Manchester Liberal still continued to insist on Colonel West's withdrawal of the remark about the refuse of the Liberal party," as regarded Mr John Morley, Mr A. H. Fowler, and other prominent Liberals, and finally he got on his chair and shouted, Ladies and gentlemen, I am a Liberal from Manchester,—(Loud cheers) —and we are anxious for this, that if Col. West will withdraw that remark we will give him a quiet hearing. A Voice, "Withdraw nothing," (Renewed uproar). The Chairman (shouting) You are not an elector. Sit down. (To the audience) Have you come to your senses yet ? (Loud cheering and whistling). During the uproar, a quarryman had quietly made his way to the platform, and stood there quietly waiting for an opportunity to address the audience, which, as soon as they had quietened down a little, he was proceeding to do (but in the Gladstonian candidate's behalf), when the Chair- man went to him, and, after asking what he wanted there, pushed him along the platform to the end of it, and finally pushed him off. A terrific uproar arose on this, and an ugly rush was made for the platform. Mr John Roberts, however, again addressing the excited crowd (this time from the platform), implored them to be quiet. Mrs West also made several attempts to address the meeting, but the uproar was increased by cries of Tut, tut, tut." Mr Moses Williams had now got on a chair, and was excitedly haranguing the audience in a mixture of English and Welsh, of which all that could be heard from the reporters' table was that the Chairman had spoiled the meeting by throwing that man off the platform. Another speaker also addressed the audience, Mr Toppin meanwhile shouting "Listen to a lady if you wont listen to anyone else."—(Renewed cries of "Tut, tut.")—Mrs West, who had remained standing, (speaking in spite ot the tnmult) said, I am an Irishwoman, and as much interested in Ireland as anyone when I came to Wales.—(Cries of Go back to Ireland and great uproar.)—One of the Manchester Liberals here again, addressing the audience, shouted, "Will you be quiet, and show your opposition by your votes."—(A Voice Three cheers for Col. West.) —These were feebly given, and the uproar continued. Mrs West (appealingly): Will you sit down now.—(Uproar.)—Look here, do.-(Coiitlilued uproar). Mr Moses Williams was now seen standing on his chair, shouting and frantically waving his hands and hat. What he said, was, however, quite inaudible to our reporter. Meanwhile, Mrs West was still standing, and some of the young men continued saying Tut, tut, tut," derisively laughing, and yelling. At length, a woman's scream from the body of the Hall caused Mrs West to peremptorily order the disturbers to desist. No notice, however, was taken of the admonition. Amid cries of "Shame," very nearly all the ladies in the body of tne Hall flocked for protection to the platform, and, the the uproar continuing, the ladies seated on the platform became alarmed, and, rising from their seats, moved towards the exit at the back of the Hall, in their fear that it was no longer safe to remain in the room. Col. West, addressing the crowd said, Do you want any more speeches."—(Uproar). The Chairman: You have disgraced Colwyn Bay for ever. Col. West If you don't wish to hear me, of course I will go. A Voice Well, go,-(Clieers). The Chairman: The meeting is closed.— (Laughter, and cheers, and renewed uproar). Mr Moon was now discovered, standing on the the platform, and addressing some remarks to the audience, who received him with hootings and laughter and groans. Mr Moon (hilariously): That's right, do it again, give us another. I am delighted with it.- (Cheers). The quarryman whom the Chairman had so unceremoniously bundled off the platform now turned up on the platform again, side by side with Mr Moon, and addressed the crowd in Welsh, while two or three other speakers stood on chairs, in different parts of the room holding forth excitedly. Mr John Roberts appealed for quietness Mr. Moses Williams shouted "The Chairman must apologise," while Mr Moon and the quarryman on the platform held forth in English and Welsh, now alternately and then simultaneously. Mr Moses Williams now mounted the platform, and a young gentleman (a visitor) advanced towards him in a menacing manner, shouting "This is the way the Radicals do. They are afraid of— (The rest of the sentence was drowned in uproar). One of the Manchester Liberals got up, and shouted to the young gentleman visitor, "I am afraid of no man on the
