LIBERALS BOYCOTTED IN PARK WARD. CONTEMPTIBLE ACTION. In Albany-road, by the board school, is a plot of land upon which the Conservatives have leave to erect a temporary committee room for the use of Sir Morgan Morgan's supporters during to- day. The land is the property of The Mackintosh, whose agent is Mr Shirlev. On behalf of the Liberals, a representative of Mr Shepherd-who is tenant on The Mackintosh Estate—made ap- plication for permission to erect a similar com- mittee room on the land, and the applica- tion was made to the surveyor (Mr Rigg), who has offices in the same building as Mr Shirley. Whilst the applicant was awaiting the reply, Mr Shirley left the building and went to the office of Sir Morgan Morgan close by, and on his return the reply give* was that leave could not be panted as desired. The land is bare, has oeen used for swing boats and shows, is a general deposit of rubbish, and has space enough for 50 such committee-rooms. But the Radicals may not be allowed to have one there. The mean and contemptible preference shown as against the Liberals will not raise Sir Morgan in the estimation of the electors. His cause must have dropped to a low ebb if it needs such support as this. But what could be ex- pected from Primrose League dignitaries ? Boy- cotting is the essence of their principles.

THE DOUBLE DUTY IN PJYERSIDE. Riverside electors have to return Dr James and Mr Noah Rees to-day. Agamst these gentlemen have been put up Mr W Uliam Evans, publican, and Mr Richard Price, who is now non- resident in Cardiff. In the peculiar condition of Riverside Ward it is of importance that there should, for the sake of the inhabitants, be careful oversight of its sanitary condition. S uch over- sight Dr James is in a specially favour- able position to exercise; and, coming into daily contact with the rtoident-91 could receive complaints and at Once take steps for its remedy. Mr Price could uot be reached by the inhabitants for these or any other municipal purposes; nor would he be equally competent to appreciate and deal with any com- plaints. As compared with Mr Noah Rees, Mr Evans, the other Tory nominee, can hardly" be iaeiutd worthy of consideration. In any c vise, the temperance electors of a ward so fortunate as to have fewest drink shops in the town could hardly be expected to be enthusiastically in favour of the publican who is put up for their accept- ance. As stated above, the canvass has had the most favourable results.

PARKER'S BREAKDOWN. After that meeting in the Park Hall, Mr Parker, Conservative candidate, seems to have arrived at the conclusion that all is vanity." His forte, clearly, is Primrose League dalliance rather more than the robust work of electoral conflict. How, then, would he figure as a coun- cillor Regarded as a substitute for the veteran servant of the burgesses, Mr Proger, who had been a member of the council for years before Mr Parker entered the town, the Tory standard- bearer has not a shadow of qualification. The idlest sport of party rivalry could not be better shown than in this case of the Central Ward, for it is not even pretended that concern for the interests of the borough has dictated the challenge to Mr Proger. After his twelve years of faithful service the electors are invited to be shabby enough so as to send Mr Proger to the right about in favour of one who cannot face a public meeting.

GREAT LABOUR DEMON- STRATION. THE LIBERAL AND LABOUR CAUSE. IMPORTANT SPEECHES. On Friday evening a demonstration was held under the auspices of the Cardiff Trades Council, in support of the candidature of Mr John Jenkins (Grangetown Ward) .and Councillor F. J. Beavan (South Ward). It was originally intended that a procession, headed by tha Mechanics' Band, should start from the headquarters of the Seamen's Union, West Bute-street, at about six o'clock but it was not until 7.30 that the pro- cessionists had been marshalled at the Colonial- hall, and started off for a parade through the South Ward, and on towards Grangetown. There was a goodly vurn-out, and en route much enthusiasm prevailed. On reaching the com- mittee-rooms of Councillor F. J. Beavan, in Bute-street, a few practical speeches were made. Mr DA VIES (president of the trades council) appealed to the larg;e assemblage for .support for Councillor Beavan on the ground that the working classes had derived considerable benefits from the efforts of the representatives of labour in different spheres. Councillor FRANK BEAVAN was received with a round of cheers, and in the course of a short address said that he was quite sure that they would accord him their support, since he had tried to honestly represent the working classes and promote their interests. (Cheers.) He did not regret a single instance in which lie had sided with the working men of Cardiff. (Loud cheers.) His object had always been to point out to the working men the necessity of standing up for what were the rights of all men, and he hoped that the claims of working men would not be ignored either as representatives on the county council or as magistrates. (Loud cheers.) At a subsequent stage, before crossing the Grangetown bridge, Councillor Eeavan addressed an immense assemblage awaiting the procession, and said that for three years he had had the honour of representing that ward, and he was anxious to know why his opponents—whoever they were—should try to oant him from that position. (Cheers.) He had tried to render service to the town, and although he did not say that what had been done was the direct result of his effort, lie would like, to know what it was that induced anybody to oppose him at that moment. (Hear, hear.) He was determined, however, that the election should be fought out on distinctly political lines, although he was not responsible for introducing political questions into the struggle. (Hear, hear.) Mr JOHN JENKINS said he was in that ward in support of one of the best candidates before the electors. (Cheers.) They were a.ll aware of what Mr Beavan had done, not only for the South Ward but for the town generally and he there- fore appealed to them to send back to the council their tried friend. (Cheers.) In the recent rail- way dispute Mr Beavan was to the front in support of the working men—(cheers)—but where was his opponent, Mr CoryY (Laughter and cheers.) He (Mr Jenkins) however, appealed to the working-class electors as in the name of trades' unionism and, therefore, they were appealed to in support of Councillor Frank Beavan. (Cheers.) In short, trades' unionism, in the words of Lord Nelson, expected that every right-thinking man would do his duty in that ward by returning Mr Beavan. (Loud cheers.) On the arrival of the procession at "The Square," Lower Grange, a halt was made, and in response to loud cries for a meeting the original programme was slightly altered. t> Mr THOMAS DA VIES, of the Trades Council, who was received with loud cheers, in opening the meeting' expressed his delight at the enthusiasm which prevailed, and accepted the manifestations as encouragement to all who were working in the interest of labour. The presenc^ of so many in such inclement weather was sufficient indication that they were earnest in that work. (Hear, hear.) No good had accrued to the working classes without the spending of untiring energy, of self-sacrifice, and of determination. (Cheers.) They were determined to leave no stone unturned not only to return Mr John Jenkins as their member, but to put him in such a position as would add to the dignity of the working classes in the town. (Applause.) Speaking in the name of the Cardiff Trades Council, he said that in resolving to send Mr Jenkins to the corporation the bociy with which lie was identified were prompted by only one desire, and that was to promote the welfare of the workiug classes. (Loud applause.) They did not, however, despise the votes of others than those who earned their living by the sweat of their brow, and invited them to assist, (Hear, hear.) Two candidates sought their suffrages. One was a true and tried friend of the working order. He had always been to the front in all their troubles, and there was scarcely a labour dispute in the district but what John Jenkins was to the fore. (Cheers.) Mr Jenkins was brought out by the Cardiff Trades' Council as a bona-fide working-man candidate, and they must remember that the whole of the expenses would come out of the pockets of the working classes. He was their servant, and would be expected to watch their interests with great attention. (Chsers, and a voice: We know he will.") On the other hand his opponent was the nominee of a political party. (A slight interruption here occurred, a large proportion of those present insisting upon the speaker calling Mr Upham the protege of Councillor Brain). Continuing, Mr Davies entreated the electors to register their votes for Mr Jenkins, and resumed his speech amidst applause. A question as to whether Mr Jenkins would represent Grangetown or the Trades Council was then addressed to the candidate, who promised to answer it fully in his add ress. Mr Toit TAYLOR (an er-president of the Cardiff Trades Council) then stepped to the front of the brake, which had been con-verted into a platform, his reception being a most cordial one. Alluding to a man on the edge of the crowd who oa two occasions had hissed on hearing' the name of Mr John Jenkins, Mr Taylor said that no true working man would dare to create a disturbance at their meeting. (Cheers.) He would like to say a word to Mr Hugh Lloyd, whom he was bound to name. (Laughter.) Theyi had got his measure and that of his candidate', who feared the light, and would not meet them in open debate, although they promised him a most impartial hearing. (Cries of He's afraid.") They, as working men, claimed the right to speak in the street, and were not to be put down by ignoramuses who lurked behind the crowd. (Laughter and cheers.) They would,he was sure, put Mr Jenkins at the top of the poll, for they saw in him a man qualified to. look after their interests—(applause)—one who was able to lay before the council the grievances felt by the electors. (Cheers.) Mr Upham could not do this, as he was unable to tell the grievances of his own class at his own branch meetings. (Laughter.) If they elected Mr Jenkins, they would be re- turning the first real working-man candidate to the county councils in the whole of Wales. Was not that an honour ? (Applause.) Mr GEORGE DOBSON, who popularity in the ward was evidenced by the applause with which he was greeted, said that while he did not know that the trades council had determined to run a working man for the Gramgetown Ward when he consented to stand at the Liberal meeting, yet when he heard this, and knowing Mr Jenkins and his connection with the Liberal party, and his many efforts for the benefitting of the working- classes, he, without any hesitation, withdrew from the contest, for he considered it a shae to oppose so well-fitted a man. (Loud applause.) In reply to the question which had been addressed to their candidate, he could not help saying that to him it seemed that as Grangetown was mainly composed of a working class population, Mr Jenkins would, by representing the amalga- mation of trades societies composing the Trades Council, be representing Grangetown. (Prolonged applause.) He had been accused ill the Tory organ of having made a compact with the Radical party. This was a lie. (Cheers.) Mr J enkms was picked by the trades council, and he believed that that body would elect any man who was a true friend of the interests of labour. (Loud cheers.) After giving practical advice as to the registering of votes, Mr Dobson went on to say that the Conservatives had raised the cry of "Down with dictation," but where, he asked them, would they find a greater example of the dictatorial spirit than that which had emanated from a Mr Upham? (Laughter.) He had lived in the ward (Grange- town) for the past 12 years, and had never until the present election heard the name of Upham. What' had Mr Upham done for the working classes ? Had he assisted eitfier by contributions or by canvassing for relief to the fund for the sufferers of the ever-memorable flood ? (Cries of "No.") This was a question of majority of votes, and he impressed upon them the necessiiy of giving the trades' union candidate a thumping majority, for on the authority of another stranger to the town—Mr Parker, the Conservative candi- date for the Central Ward—on the result of these municipal contests would depend the issue of a Parliamentary election. (Cheers.) Mr PEARSE (of the Saddlers' Union) said that Mr Upham, in his circular, stated that he had had practical experience in sanitary matters. Where had his experience been gained ? He (Mr Pearce) had taken the trouble to try and find out by enquiries about the streets of Grangetown, and all he could learn was that he was a good hand at making bird cages. (Laughter.) The Tory press had asked, why choose a man outside the ward ? When Mr Brain came to Grangetown did they ask him whether ho lived in the ward or no—did they ask him where he brewed his beer ? Mr John Jenkins lived only a stride or so over the water, but Mr Brain lived at Penarth. (Hear, hear.) Mr JOHN JENKINS was received with loud ap- plause. Referring to his opponent, he said it was all very well to announce in placards the thoughts of somebody else, but that was not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of an intelligent body of ratepayers, or to make ttny sort of impression on the town council. They had only to go to Mr Upham's agent, and he would tell them that it was his own (the agent's) production. He advised them to beware of spurious placards and spurious candidates. He had come there representing a body of workers in this town numbering about 15,000 or 16,000 men, men who had been emanci- pated from white slavery. They wero trades unionists. As such they appealed to the working men of Grangetown, and he asked that the working men should rise to the occasion. They had now the rare opportunity of returning one of their own class to the flown council. He did not come as a stranger amosgst them, for he believed there was not a man fI Grangetown who, if he did not know him personally, at least knew that he had been taking part in all organisations for trades union purposes throughout the length and breadth of Cardiff. Where was Mr Upham when labour was set at nought by capital ? Where was he when the railwaymen were in jeopardy ? Where was he when the millers were driven out ? He was silent. Let them show on Saturday that they did not believe in fictitious representatives, that they would not accept the nominee of a Tory clique, but that they were ready to go in without party considerations for one who was willing to place himself unreservedly at their disposal, and do their bidding. (Applause.) A ratepayer here came forward and asked Mr Jenkins if he would try and secure better lighting for Grangetown. Mr JENKINS replied in the affirmative. He would go a little further, and say tha1 it struck him very forcibly that municipalities did not look after the interests of the large towns in that direction. He believed that the murders in W hitechapel were made possible by the badly- lighted back streets. Mr Councillor MILDON said it had been asked whether Mr Jenkins would represent Grangetown Ward on the trades council. He fancied the question answered itself. This was a working man's constituency and the interests of Grange- town and the interests of the working men were identical. He wao not going to say one word against his opponent—all he would observe was that they knew him too well. (Laughter.) It was not difficult to discriminate between the two candidates. He had been looking over the canvassing-books. The number of promises for Mr Jenkins had not quite reached four figures, but it was nearly four. That meant that not only would Mr Jenkins be returned but he would be returned by a large majority. (Applause.) The break containing the labour leaders then proceeded on its triumphal progress, and was cheered at the various street corners. Another stoppage took place at Upper Grange, where is a large Irish population. Mr T. DAVIES explained the object of their visit, and described Mr Jenkins as always a true friend to the working man. Mr TOM TAYLOR, as a member of the Charles Kickham Branch of the National League, im- pressed on his Irish hearers in particular to leave no stone unturned to crush the Tory combination which would strike at Mr Gladstone and per- petuate Balfourism and coercion in Ireland. Mr George Dobson took the opportunity of strongly recommending Mr Jenkins; and Mr Jenkins also spoke at length, explaining as he had done before the mandate he had received from the Trades Council. He praised the self-sacrificing spirit with which Mr George Dobson gave up his candidature in deference to the decision of the trades council. Councillor MILDON reminded the Irish voters that this was not a battle for labour alone, but for them it was part of the struggle for national freedom. After three hearty cheers the missionaries of labour then proceeded along Penarth-road, home- ward, well pleased with the reception they had met with all along the route.

MEETING AT ROATH. COUNCILLOR TROUNCE'S CANDIDA- TURE. A largely attended meeting of the supporters of Mr Councillor Trounce was held on Friday evening in the Public Hall, Stacey-road, Roath, Captain David Murray occupying the chair. He was supported on the platform by the candidate, Mr George David, Dr Treharne, Captain Pomeroy, Mr J. J. P. Burt, Mr Leon, Mr Burns, and others.—The Chairman having opened the meeting m a, speech very complimen- tary to the candidate whose plaims they were supporting, Councillor TROUNCE gave a detailed account of his past services to the Corporation, enumerating the numerous important measures which he had assisted in passing for the benefit of the town. He specked among others the drain- age system, the opening of the committees to re- presentatives of the press, the opening of the Roath Reading-room, and lastly, though not least, his persistent efforts for the prevention of a serious financial loss through the purchase of the gasworks. Several questions were put to and answered by the candidate. Dr TREHARNE spoke in Mr Trounce's favour, and referred to the numerous services he had rendered to the community. Mr GEORGE DAVID moved a resolution ex- pressing confidence in Mr Trounce as a fit and proper person to represent the ward, and pledging the meeting to do its utmost to secure his return. Mr SOLOMON, a working man, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Captain Pomeroy.—Mr Laing, Mr Tom Grant, and others supported the resolution, which was carried almost unanimously.

A WORD TO IRISHMEN. Mr Patrick O'Brien, M.P., who was ar- rested at Cardiff under the Crimes Act, has written to a prominent Irishman on the subject of the municipal elections. The letter is dated, Eccles-Lesson Court, Coercion Dock, Tipperary," and in it Mr O'Brien writes I hope that all Irishmen and friends of Ireland will put aside all local or side issues during the municipal elections, and vote solid for the legitimate Liberal candidates, i.e., the candidates selected and sanctioned by the local Liberal association. Mr O'Brien adds :—"The illegality of my arrest is not disputed by anybody hfire but going to law with Dublin Castle, with the British Exchequer behind it, is a serious undertaking for a poor criminal."

MONMOUTH. t Although nine gentlemen have come forward to contest four seats at the council board this Year the contest is being conducted without any of the unpleasant recriminations so common on such occasions. The absence, or apparent absence, of politics has thrown some few Conservatives on t6 i!ldG tfi0 party who advocate the alteration of the market^ while those in favour of the market remaining as at present are all Conserva- tives, the exception being Mr Tibbets, who seeks municipal honours independently of the market question or any political or party considerations. Canvassing goes on quietly. No public meetings have been held, and beyond some grotesque caricatures, condemnatory of .sunday-closing, and some sporting prognostications posted on the Shire Hall indicating the market (not the pro- vision market) price of each candidate, there is no feeling displayed.

"It_ A lively badger hunt took place in the Lincoln Road, Ross. It appears that some men with terriers were walking along when one of the animals becoming uneasy at the mouth of » drain, it was discovered that a badger had taken refuge in it. One of the dogs was sent in, but re- turned badly bitten. After some time it was secured by the help of a cord, but escaped and ran towards a gate, when a man named Albert Sebright bagged it by the tail. The badger weighed 411b. „ v .<

THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION. This society, which has now been established for more than half-a-century, maintains its high position in the insurance world. Its records show that the assurances effected and the funds realised since its institution exceed those of any other office in a similar period, and in fifty-second annual report the directors .state that these results—the more remarkable because the expenditure is so low, being only 5k per cent. of the income—have been attained largely through the intelligent appreciation by the members of the society's disntinctive principles, one of which is that a greatly larger assurance from £ 1,200 to £ 1,250 for the same yearly premium as would elsewhere be charged for LI,000 only. The accumulated funds now amount to seven million pounds, tha increase during the past year which is larger than that during any previous 12 months, being £ 477,000. It may be added that the Cardiff offices of the society are at 19, High-street, and application to tha manager need only be made for the supply of all particulars to intending insurers.

SPLOTT WARD. ENTHUSIASTIC LIBERAL MEETING. A meeting in support of the candidature of Mr Thomas Andrews for the representation of the Splott Ward was held in the Splott-road Board School on Friday evening. In spite very inclement weather, there was an excellent attendance, the large room being quite filled. The chair was occupied by Mr Jacob Comley, and there were present Mr Councillor Herne, Mr Thomas Andrews, Mr Jesse Longford, Mr W. Collier, Mr Tapp, Mr Cunningham, and others. The CHAIRMAN, in his opening address,said their candidate was no relation of Solomon Andrews, although he had a good deal of the wisdom of Solomon. (Laughter.) It had been said by his opponents that Mr Andrews did not live in the ward, but he was nearer to the centre of the ward than Mr Jenkins. Mr R. E. TAPP said the Splott Ward was going to be the Eccles division of Cardiff. (Applause.) He hoped it would follow the example of Eccles on Saturday. Mr W. COLLIER, the secretary of the Amal- gamated Society of Railway Carriage Builders and Repairers (South Wales Branch), was the next speaker. He stated that Mr Andrews had always paid his employes the highest possible rate of ■ wages—the rate that was recognised as the standard in the town. While the sjbpaker had nothing to say against Mr Jenkins, he. held that the wage-earners of the ward should vot^ for Mr Andrews, who could enter into the necessities of their positions, and understand their par- ticular needs. Although a busy man, and having a large undertaking to look after, he would devote amlJle time to his public duties, and make an excellent all-round member of the council. He was a quiet and unobstrusive philan- thropist—one who visited the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and relieved their distress. But what he did in that, direction he did not noise abroad. He did good to the extent of his power for its own sake, and from a genuine desire to alleviate. suffering. (Applause.) The speaker supported him as a trades unionist, and because he was a just and fair employer of labour, and a true tChristian. (Applause.) I" Mr JESSE LONGFORD also spoke in favour of Mr Andrews' candidature. He was a gentleman who could ba seen at all times on public matters, either in his private house or on his business premises, and no Gne could possibly have any objection to going to either. But with Mr Jenkins it would bo- !otherwise. Many of the electors would hesitate to enter a public-house if they wished1 to lay any matter before their representative, and yet that might be the most convenient piMe in which to see him. The speaker also objected to Mr Jenkins, because he was a Toryi and the Tory party had never been the friend of the working man. (Applause.) When 'the speaker asked Mr Jenkins if he was in favour of the erection of a police-station for the Splott Ward, he insulted him and a man who would insult an elector before his return was not worthy of that elector's support. (Loud applause.) Mr CHARLES CDNNINGHAM moved the following resolution :— That this meeting of ratepayers is of opinion that Mr Andrews is a tit and proper person to represent the Splott Ward on the Cardiff Cvuft^Qvuacy, and pledge itself to use every legitimate means to secure his triumphant return to-morrow. (Applause.) According to their opponents' statements, they had a man who possessed every necessary qualification. It was astonishing how the Tories could always put their hands on the very man they wanted. The speaker had been eight years in the ward, but never heard of Mr Jenkins until this election. (Laughter.) It was evident that Mr Jenkins could not have taken a very lively interest in public affairs, or his name would be more familiar. (Applause.) Mr CORNISH, in a vigorous speech, seconded the resolution, which was carried without a dis- sentient amid great applause. Mr THOMAS ANDREWS rose, amid hearty cheers, to address the meeting. The charge that he was non-resident in the ward could be thrown with greater force against his opponent. But the fact told in his favour. The majority of the speakers at that meeting were residents in and electors of the ward, whereas nearly all the speakers at the recent Tory meeting were strangers to the ward. Dr Treharne, Mr Carr, and Mi- George David had no direct interest or influence in Splotlands. He (the speaker) had trusted for return entirely to the confidence his fellow-ratepayers had in him. He had not a single paid canvasser, and not one of them had been given anything in the shape of food, drink, or money. (Loud applause.) Every- thing had been done spontaneously, and in a most enthusiastic manner. He had not asked one of his working-men either to canvass for him or to vote for him. (Hear, hear.) If his own men voted for Mr Jenkins he would never find fault with them. In coming forward as a can- didate for municipal honours he had no private interest to serve. Personally, it would be to his advantage to remain in private, but now that he had commenced he would go on to win—(loud applause)-and when returned he would devote his time, his energies, and his best attention to the affairs of the ward and of the borough. Mr Jenkins, as a trades unionist, ought tp have known that it was not right to complain openly that the lamps in the ward were coated with dirt, and that therefore the district was badly lighted. Such a statement might have got the lamplighter discharged. Ho (the speaker) was quite of opinion that something should be done to improve the lighting in that ward, but it was not owing to any fault of the gas that the lighting was poor. The gas in Cardiff was the best in Wales. But they wanted more burners, larger lamps, and more of them, and then the streets would he in a safe and proper state at night. As to the statements about his acts of kindness, he could safely say that whether elected to the council or not it would make no difference as to the course he would pursue in that respect. It had been com- plained that the trades council, which was stated to be non-political, was supporting him. That was simply because he had paid the rate of wages recognised in the town, and be- cause he had always been in har- mony with his workmen. If non- residence was to be urged against him, then it also ought to be urged against Sir Morgan Morgan, Mr Trounce, Mr Herbert Cory, and other Conservative candidates. He believed that before pnblic money was spent in such schemes as the weiring of the Taff, the improved lighting and sewering of new districts like Splott should be attended to. It was necessary that these and populous suburbs should have reading rooms, for if such places were not provided the young men growing up would spend their evenings in the music halls and the public-houses, instead of devoting their spare time to profitable reading or mental recreation. (Applause.) He knew of no better room for such a purpose than the one they were then in. It would be practicable for the wide and well-laid out streets of the ward to be planted with trees on either side at very small cost, and soon to have thoroughfares resembling the Paris boulevards. In conclusion the speaker asked for a big majority, not a mere win, and resumed his seat amid loud applause. Mr J. D. NORMAN having- addressed the meet- ing, Councillor HEnNE spoke in support of Mr Andrews' candidature, emphasising the fact that a member of the council, to really look after the ratepayers, must devote ample time to the work, and take his full share of the work connected with the committees. Mr GARLAND complained of the offensive smell arising from the sewer ventilators, and asked if it could not be remedied. Councillor HERNE told him to urge the matter upon the committee that had to deal with such questions through the representatives of the ward. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

THE POLANG. Arrangements have been made for the results of the polling to be made known at the earliest pos- sible moment after the declaration of the poll, at the Cardiff Reform Club, New-street. We understand that the Liberal party are well provided with vehicles for the polling to-day.

SW AN SEA. Probably there never was a municipal election at Swansea in which so little interest was shewn by the general public than that which will be decided to-day. That out of ten wards in which there were vacancies there should be contests in but three does not say much for the municipal ambition of the inhabitants, and there bem< £ three contests and few but the candidates and their immediate friends taking any interest in them, would tend to prove that the electors as a whole are not over head and ears in love with any candidate. The most spirited fight is in the East Ward, where it is probable that Mr Nancarrow may oust Mr D. Thomas, the representative of the ward for so many years. Mr Thomas has accepted the labour programme, and Mr Nan- carrow is understood to be in favour of it. Both candidates are Conservatives— the new candidate a young and very pronounced one. In the Landore Ward both candidates are Liberals, and the result will depend on local considerations, both Mr W. Williams and Mr Rees Jones being very popular. Here the result is difficult to predict. In the Castle Ward there is a fight in which least interest of all is taken. Mr Westlake, the retiring member, who seeks re-election, has every qualification for the office, but his record of attendances tells greatly against him. Mr Dawe, his opponent, is a licensed victualler who is new to public life. The result of the polling should be known before 9.30 this (Saturday) evening.

ABERA YON. T> A public meeting of ratepayers was held at the Public-hali on Ihursday for the purpose of hear- ing the views of the candidates at the forthcomin g election. 1 he meeting was very largely attended. The Mayor presided. The candidates addressed the meeting in the following order—Mr Martin A. Jenkins, Mr Benjamin Jones, Mr H. J. Stokes, Mr H. Walsh, and Mr G. W. Walpole. Numerous questions were addressed to the can- didates, particularly to Mr Jenkins, who dealt with them all in a very satisfactory manner,

LORD HARTINGTON IN SCOTLAND. [PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM. 1 EDINBURGH, Friday. This afternoon Lord Harrington drove into Edinburgh from Oxenford Castle to attend the meeting of the East and North of Scotland Liberal Unionist Association, which was an- nounced to be held at the Freemasons'-hall, George-street. There was a crowded attendance. Mr Brodie, of Idvies, took the chair. He was supported by the Earl of Camperdown, the Earl of Stair, Viscount Wolmer, M.P., the Hon. Arthur Elliott, M.P., Sir Donald Currie, M.P., Sir Robert Jardine, M.P., Mr J. W. Barclay, M.P., Mr T. Sutherland, M.P., Mr H. T. Anstruther, M.P., Mr J. Parker Smith, M.P., and Mr Walter Thorburn. The deputation from the Women's Liberal Unionist Association also attended to present an address to the noble marquis. After the chairman's opening speech, the address of the Women's Liberal Unionist Association was presented by Lady Tweeddale. The address welcomed Lord Harrington to Edinburgh at this time, as the association believed his presence would be a great encouragement to the party, who were proud to claim him as its leader. Nobody had shown more succinctly that the maintenance of law was the condition of freedom, and the only sure foundation of Liberalism. (Cheers.) The secretary of the Liberal Unionist Associa- tion then presented Lord Ibrtington with a walking stick, which had been sent by a working man as a token of his admiration. The donor wished to remain anonymous to the meeting, but asked that his name should be given to the noble lord. On rising to acknowledge the presentations, The Marquis of HARTINGTON was received with enthusiasm. He assured the ladies associated with the Unionist cause that, although the time might not have arrived when the question of woman suffrage had been raised by the Liberal Unionists into the position of a test question, yet, without saying anything on that subject, they must greatly welcome and appreciate the activity women were able to show in many branches of work which were apart from the exercise of the suffrage. (Cheers.) The utmost activity of such associations as the one he was addressing was now called for and demanded. He desired specially to call attention to the results of recent elections. These had made it more than ever in- cumbent upon Unionists to exercise all possible activity and energy. He did not think that in those elections cause was to be found for serious anxiety, much less for depression or despondency. But, undoubtedly, they did point to the necessity of continued, and even increased vigour in their organisation. He believed their opponents were making a great mistake when they attempted, from riie results of certain bye-elections, to fore- cast with certainty the result of a general election. Unionists would be making a still greater and more unwarrantable mistake if they were to shut their eyes to the lesson those elections pressed upon them. Unless at the time of the general election they were able to present a more definite and more clear issue to the whole of the constituencies of the country than they had hitherto succeeded in doing, and unless they were able to show greater activity and greater vigour than they had been able to put forth in recent bye-elections the cause of the union would be in very considerable danger. (Hear, hear.) The bye-elections unfortu- nately lost had not been lost upon the Irish question. (Cheers.) A variety of other causes had contributed to the result. The Irish policy of the Unionist party had never yet been developed as a whole. They had been compelled to present their case too much from the point of view solely of the restoration of order, necessary as that task had been in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) They had been too much exposed to the attacks of their opponents upon the subject of coercion, and they had never been able to present in its true light the alternative side, the remedial side, of the Unionist policy. (Cheers.) They wished the support of the constituencies and the public throughout the country to be called forth as energetically on behalf of the constructive policy of the Unionist policy as a few years ago it was j called forth to prevent the passing of a mis- chievous scheme which threatened the stability of our institutions. (Cheers.) They wanted a more sustained, a more vigorous expression of the whole country in condemnation of those Parliamentary tactics which had been so un- scrupulously employed by their opponents, and which threatened, by the abuse of Parliamentary forms, to destroy the stability and efficacy of Parliamentary government. (Cheers.) There were numerous subjects upon which lie hoped to touch before leaving Scotland. Though the Unionist candidates did not desir" to emulate the example of the other side in the system of making reckless promises which they did not intend to fulfil, they were prepared and will- ing, and had the power, to deal with questions .11 affecting the social and material condition of the population as efficiently, if not as plausibly, as their opponents. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of the noble lord's brief speech a gentleman in the audience walked up to the platform and asked his acceptance of a volume, entitled "The Government of the Kingdom of Christ." Various resolutions were then passed recording confidence in the Unionist administra- tion, condemning obstruction, hoping for the passing of a Land Purchase Act for Ireland, and a Private Bill Inquiry Act for Scotland, and pledging the association to use every exertion in view of a general election. In the evening the Marquis of Hartington ad- dressed a great meeting in the Corn Exchange, which had been specially fitted up for the occasion. The hall, which was beautifully decorated, was stated to accommodate about five thousand people, but considerably over that number was pre- sent, every foot of standing room being occupied. On the platform there was a large gathering of representative members of the Unionist party in Scotland. Among those present were the Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquis of Huntly, the Mar- quis of Lothian, the Earl of Stair, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Lindsay, Lord Wolmer, M.P., Lord Camperdown, the Earl of Wemyss, the Earl of Leven and Melville, Sir Clias. Dalrymple, M.P., Sir Donald Currie, M.P., Sir Archibald Campbell, M.P., &c. Letters of apology were received from the Duke of Argyll, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of Fife, the Duke of Montrose, and others. Lord NAILER and ETTRICK, who presided, in introducing the Marquis of Hartington to the meeting, said the gathering before him was com- posed of Scotchmen of every class, defenders of loyalty and order—(cheers)—assembled to salute the man whom they most delighted to honour. (Cheers.) Lord HARTINGTON, who was received with repeated rounds of cheering, began his address by referring to the many sacrifices which he had made in social friendships by his severance from the Gladstonian party. Referring to Mr Gladstone's speeches in Scotland, he said that he had been struck especially by one thing. The system of Irish Government which had been denounced in terms of al- most unmistakeable vehemence was precisely the same system ef Government as a few years ago was administered by the denouncer himself. (Cheers.) That was not the point which filled him with astonishment. They were used to this phenomenon—(laughter)—and it no longer ex- cited the smallest astonishment in the mind of any man. What, however, did surprise him and astonish him was that a statesman of the first rank one who, from the great length of time in which he had exercised a leading part in political affairs, should feel his interests in politics to lie rather in his own historic past and in the historic future of his country, than in the immediate present, or even immediate future—should have thought it necessary to give such an analysis of the present system of Government in Ireland as that which he had placed before them. All that Mr Gladstone had done had been to narrate certain facts or fictions (cheers)— which had been repeatedly narrated before, which had their source solely in Irish National organs. (Cheers and a hiss.) Referring to the state of Ireland, he declared that the inhabitants of a civilised country had a right to be protected- in the ordinary pursuits of life, and in the discharge of their obligations. The Coercion Act was an act wbich he did not seek to apologise or excuse. It was an act, how- ever, on the part of the present Parliament and the majority of the present Parliament, of which he was proud, for he believed by that act they had done more to restore freedom and the most elementory rights of liberty in Ireland to the wh6le of its population than if they had con- ferred upon the Irish people twenty^ new political franchises or the widest system of self-govern- ment. (Cheers.) The proceedings terminated with the customary vote of thanks.

By his success on Lady Clare at Lincoln on Wednesday G. Barrett scored his one hundredth winning mount for the present season. It is not at all impossible that next season may be Fred Barrett's last on the turf. He finds it difficult to keep his weight down to anything like a convenient figure. Carmine stripped for the Lincoln Autumn Han- dicap in better trim than she has displayed for some time, and the season may not pass away be- fore she be seen as a winner. Knight of Ruby was staying on at the finish for the Lincoln Autumn Handicap, and he might have won had the race been a hundred yards further. He is evidently a smart horse just now.

THE CHIEF CONSTABLESHIP OF CARDIGANSHIRE. The clerk to the Cardiganshire standing joint committee has received the following letter Whitehall, 24th October, 1890. Sir,—I have laid before the Secretary of State your letter of the ll.th instant, in which you ask, on behalf of the standing joint committee, that Mr Mathews should state the grounds on which he refused his approval to the proposed appoint- ment of the late Sergeant Evans to the office of chief constable for the county of Cardigan, with a view to assist the committee in the selection of a new chief constable, and, in reply, I am directed to state, for the information of the committee, that in Mr Mathews' opinion the functions of the chief constable of the police force of a county are so important that it would be impossible to expect them to be satisfactorily discharged by a person directly promoted to the office from the rank oi sergeant, especially in the same force.—I am, sir, your obedient servant, GODFREY LUSHTNGTON. The clerk to the standing joint committee for Cardiganshire, Aberystwyth. • -n 111 1
