Mr. Naylor Thanked at Conway. Ready to Fight Again if Invited. Reasons for His Defeat. Seat Can be Won if Unionists so Desire. Miss Naylor Presented with a Bouquet. Speech by Mr James Porter. LEADERS of Unionism in Conway Borough gathered together at the Conway Conservative Club on Friday evening, to pay their tribute to Mr R. Anderton Naylor for the services he has rendered to the party during the past two years, and more especially for the plucky man- ner in which he faced the President of the Board of Trade during the last election. As al- ready intimated in these columns, a scheme had been practically arranged whereby the party could give practical expression to their grate- ful sentiments, but the candidate magnanim- ously refused to hear of anything in the form of a testimonial, protesting that he had been more than, repaid for what he had done in view of his having been privileged to fight for the cause he has at heart. All he desired was an opportunity to thank liis friends and sup- porters for their efforts on his behalf during the election. This opportunity was afforded him on Fri- day evening. The proceedings took the form of an enjoy- able entertainment, over which Mr James Sor- ter presided. In company with Miss Naylor. the candidate drove from Pwllheli in his motor car. There were also present Col. the Hon. Henrv Llovd Mostyn and Mrs Mostvn, the Mavor and Mayoress of Conway (Dr and Mis R. Arthur Prichard), Mrs James Porter, Dr and Mrs Simpson. -Miss Dutton. Mrs lhoma>, the Vicar (Rev J. P. Lewis), the hector ox Gyffin (Rev R. Jones), Mrs Jones and the Misses Jonee, Mr and Mrs McKenna, Mr and Mrs Pollit. Rev and Mrs John Davies, Mr and Mrs Nee, Miss Wallwork, Mr Charles Lees, Coun- cillor Ed. Jones, and many others. The room had been neatly decorated by Messrs Cornelius Williams, senr., Ted il- liams, and Geo. Keigwin. The Chairman's Speech. During ian interval in the entertainment, the Chairman, who was cordially received .said it was with very much pleasure he availed him- self of that opportunity to propose a very hearty vote of thanks to Mr Naylor for the very gallant fight made by him on their behalf ot the recent election. (Hear, hear.) He was certain there was no man in the borough who would say that Mr Naylor had not fought the battle with real pluck all through. (Ap- plause.) When they considered all the arts that had been arrayed against him, the courage displayed could be the more fully realised. (A voice, "Good old Naylor," and laughter.) He was reminded of the election cry, "Are we downhearted?" It did not matter how much one had hurt oneself, "No" was the answer given with great enthusiasm. And when they considered what had taken place in view of what their future was to be, as a party they could conscientiously assert "-No, we are cer- tainly not downhearted." (Applause.) They all knew how good both Mr and Miss Naylor had been to the people in the boroughs ever since they came amongst them. Irrespective of creed or party, the people had been most generously treated by them—(applause)—while as a worker they had never had a candidate like Mr Naylor. His (the speaker's) respect and admiration for Mr Naylor had risen to bubbling point, if he might use the expres- sion. at the time when he so splendidly stuck to his cause in spite of all the disasters throughout the kingdom. (Cheers.) He had been proof against all the bad news from Man- chester and elsewhere, and all along the line they found their, candidate as game as ever, fighting like a man. (Applause.) And when they found that sort of thing in their own candidate, they could not but look further afield. They found the leaders of the party exhibiting much the same splendid spirit. To whom could defeat be more severe than to the ex-Premier, who ban proudly led the party so long and so faithfully? Yet he had fought his constituency when, as everybody knew, life could have got a safe seat elsewhere; and though he was defeated, he did not retire, but at once proceeded to help others. To take another instance, there was the case of Sir Walter Long, who, though defeated like Mi Balfour, promptly went to Ireland and won a seat. (Applause.) The same spirit had dom- inated Mr Austen Chamberlain, who got in by a majority of 5,000 votes. What man was there ■who could not be proud to belong to such a party? s Work for the Future. But now that the battle was over, he hoped thev would lose no time in referring to anv little unpleasantness that might have hap- pened during the election. (Hear, hear.) There might have been annoying little inci- dents; but, as Mr Balfour told them the other day, "Don't look back. but forward. Let them at once seek about for the cause of their defeat and rectify it. (Hear. Ile,"i,.) A, tlley I were all aware, Mr Naylor s chief plank in the election platform was the question of Liscai Reform. It may have been wid by people in the borough that that was a little fad of Mr Naylor's. but he felt they were all very highly indebted to their candidate for having given them an opportunity of discussing and learn- ing something about Tariff Reform. (Hear, hear.) It was an opportunity they had never had before in the boroughs. They were glad to see that far from Tariff Reform being dead, as the newspapers alleged, they now found that Mr Balfour and Mr Chamberlain were in actual accord about the details of the pro- gramme they were going to carry out—"the triumph of eommonsense." as somebody called it. (Applause.) If there was one tiling that had helped more than another to impress him on the question of Tariff Reform, it was this: He had been conversing with a friend who had had an opportunity of attending at the National Liberal Club when the unfortunate series of results to the Unionist party were made known. His friend told him that two- thirds of the people who were displaying such marked enthusiasm over the success of Liberals were foreigners. No further explan- ation than that fact was needed, because it was thus very obvious that the freedom of trade in Britain was probably more to them than anyone else. (Hear, hear.) Newspaper correspondents assured them that the result of the election had been received in New York

—— A large number of subscriptions have been received at Mold towards the testimonial it is proposed to make to Mr James M'Gregor as a mark of public appreciation of his services during the past twelve years as captain of the Mold Fire Brigade and in other ways. The annual meeting of the Holywell Free Church Council was held on Friday, when a very satisfactory report of last year's working was given. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:—President, the Rev J. E. Davies; vice-president. Alderman Joseph Jones; treasurer, Mr Thos. Water house; secre- tary. Mr Stanley Owen. —— Michael Cronin. the soldier who was found lying on the railway between Llanfair P.G. and Menai Bridge on Saturday morning after the passage of the Irish mail train with a fractured skull, stated in reply to inquiries at the Bangor Infirmary that he had no idea how he got out of the train. He thinks that he must have got up in his sleep and stepped out. He states that neither lie nor his com- panions were in drink. He had only one bottle of stout on leaving Holyhead. He was on his way to Seaforth for training as an artilleryman.

and other centres of commerce in America with great delight. Foreigners were afraid of the policy of fair play -,ill round, but that was the policv that Mr Savior had put to the fore- front in his battle, and the policy vas not dead yet. (Applause.) Nevertheless, they tad to put fheir house in order, for in that way lay ,the hope that there was a time coming when men who were now out of work would look back with pleasure to the time when Mr Naylor came, as their candidate, to teach them something about Tariff Reform. (Applause.) With those few words it gave him the greatest possible pleasure, on behalf of the Unionists of Conway, to propose a very hearty vote of thanks to Mr Naylor for his kindness and for the sacrifice he had made in fighting the cause of which they were all so proud. (Loud ap- plause.) Col. the Hon. H. Lloyd Mostyn, in second- ing, said he thoroughly endorsed the chair- man's remarks. As one of the Unionists of the borough, he (the speaker) was very glad to see Mr Navlor amongst them again looking so well. (Hear. hear.) He thought the party had been extremely lucky to have Mr Naylor to champion their cause, and if he came to the borough again—in a political or other sphere- they would all welcome him most heartily. (Applause.) The motion was enthusiastically carried. A Bouquet for Miss Naylor. At this point Mrs James Porter, midst a rousing clveer, presented Miss Naylor with a magnificent bouquet beautifully arranged in red. white, and blue. fn handing over her gift. Mrs Porter said:—My dear Miss aylor, I have very great pleasure in presenting you with this bouquet on behalf of your many friends amongst the Unionists of Conway. (Applause.) Miss Naylor gratefully accepted the flowers, and said she had always had the greatest plea- sure in coming to Conway, because they had always enjoyed there a very good reception. Her brother and herself had looked upon Con- way as one of their bright spots., For that and their beautiful gift she was sincerely grateful. (Applause.) Mr Naylor Replies. OPTIMISTIC HOPES FOR THE FUTURE. READY TO FIGHT AGAIN. Mr Naylor rose to reply midst a round of hearty applause. He said he had asked for the arrangement of that entertainment so as to give him an opportunity of extending his heartiest thanks to members of the Unionist party living in that part of the constituency for their co-operation and kindness in the cause of Unionism in the boroughs during the recent election. They had, however, outwitted him by taking advantage of the occasion to thank him. He understood that a good many people in Conway as well as in others of the boroughs had been kind enough to express a desire to make him a very handsome testi- monial in recognition of what it had been his privilege and pleasure to do in the constitu- ency during the past two years. (Hear. hear.) He was very much obliged to tliem for the thought, but he had always gone on the prin- ciple of giving rather than receiving. (Ap- plause.) Therefore, he hoped that the ladies and gentlemen who had set that idea in mo- tion would kindly allow him to thank them for their good intentions. While he could not possibly accept any presents, he at the same time assured them that he appreciated to the full the extent of the kindness which in- spired and prompted the suggestion. The very fact of having done the work accomplished was in itself sufficient reward for what it had been his privilege to do. He had worked for the people, and if he had not done so amongst the people of the Carnarvon Boroughs, he would have been doing it elsewhere, because he was always employed amongst the people. (Hear, hear.) They had not on that ocasion won the battle, it was true, but he believed they had laid their foundation for a future success. (Applause.) Reasons for the Result. There were many reasons to give for their having been worsted in the struggle. The election had been fought under very abnormal conditions, but about 700 of the voters that they calculated as being on their side had gone over to the opposition. He was perfectly satisfied-more satisfied now than ever—that the Unionist party possessed a majority in that constituency, and if the 1 nionists to a man decided upon winning the seat, they could do it. (Hear, hear.) Sir John Puleston's can- didature was a significant case. Their own party on that occasion prevented Sir John winnin". He (the speaker) knew that to be a fact and he could not expect better treatment than had been meted out to Sir John Pllleston and other candidates in the past. And he had nuite made provision for that in his own battle. However, he had felt that if the Union- ist partv in the troughs wished him to act as their' representative in Parliament, they had the power to appoint him: it on the other hand thev did not, he could not. ot course, succeed in gaining a victory for them. Taking everything into consideration. however the defeat was better than a victory. (Hear. hear.) He had just been round the boroughs again to return thanks for many favours received and kimlne«se« experienced, and he remarked that a "pirit h,<M.een ;.»K>nK»t the people since the election that he had not noticed before, and his firm conviction now vr>- that whoever was the Unionist candidate next election, he would win. (Loud anDlause) He had been that day at Criccieth —hitherto a much-neglected place from a party point of view-and lie found that amongst his friends there an association had been formed, and they had already begun to work in dead earnest, meetings being held fortnightly- In the other bo roughs it was felt with equal sincerity that something practical should he done in view of the future. They had a grand cause in hand, and it was worth a little sacrifice in the way of improving their organisation to ensure a successful issue. They could have no nobler idea set before them than to work for the programme arranged by Mr Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain, the two gentle- men who had just satisfied them all that their great party was not disunited as had been so loudly alleged. (Applause.) Mr Balfour and Mr Chamberlain had different modes of ex- pression; they were two different men entirely. Mr Chamberlain was a man who had all his life been connected with large business enter- prises, while Mr Balfour was a man of a philosophical turn of mind, but both of them were fully convinced that something must be done in the direction of retaliation or protec- tion, that some alteration in their fiscal sys- tem must be effected if they were to retain their position amongst the commercial nations of the world. Foreigners were delighted with the result of the election. Why? Because they themselves were those who benefitted from the existing state of affairs. At present Britain was engaged in an unequal encounter, the disadvantage being all against herself, and they could expect but one result unless they saw to making her chances equal with those of her competitors. A Thing Never Had Was Not Lost Proceeding, Mr referred to 60111e comments in the Padiciil prefcs, which he de- clared were angry because he did not displav anger. They were a miserable, cantankerous lot. He had been twitted because he had loot, I but how was it possible for him to have lost a thing which he never had? (Loud laughter, and applause.) He was really sorry for Radi- cal people. (Laughter.) There was much talk about people being downhearted. Were they downhearted? (Loud cries of "No"). -No There was one thing aliout the Unionist party in the borough; they did not know what it was to be downhearted. He had never seen such enthusiasm as had been manifested amongst them during the past few days. Mr Nee, the agent, and himself had been perfectly flabbergasted, and what he had recently ex- perienced would more than repay for all the trouble and energy he had put forth against them. (Applause.) He had had a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from his work, and if the Unionist party were to-morrow to ask him to fight their battle there again, he would reply, "Yes. I will, with pleasure." (Loud and prolonged cheering). The Radical newspapers assured their readers that he (Mr Naylor) had been swindled .by his own party, but he would like to see the man who dared to swindle him. (Applause.) He was afraid the Radical party had put up several people to write him letters in order that they could get hold of some evidence in support of a peti- tion which they intended putting forward in the event of his being returned. ("Shame"). But though the work had been very cleverly done, he had not been caught. (Laughter and cheers.) The argument now submitted against him was that he should not have put the Radi- cals into the expense of an election. If a man were generous they knocked him out of time for it. He had never yet found a Radical who was generous—(laughter)—and if a Radical did find a man who was generous, his righteous will burned with indignation. Next Time. The next time he (the speaker) came for- ward he would be very careful. He would take a leaf out of the Radical book. But he was very glad he had not sent the hat round amongst the Unionists of the borough for his election expenses. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He was inclined to shed a tear in his sym- pathy with his Radical friends at that moment. They had spent money, and did not know where to find it. (Renewed laughter.) And for putting them into that dilemma their op- ponents were desperately vexed with him. He instanced the treatment extended to Mr Lloyd Carter and himself as showing the amount of indignation existing because he had put his opponents to the expense of fight- in the election. Mr Naylor concluded by again thanking his friends for their co-opera- tion and assistance over the contest. At intervals a capital programme of music was carried out by Mrs McKenna, Miss Jennie Jones, Miss Hughes (Lancaster -square), Messrs Maelor Rowlands. W. Ralph. T. Otto Morgan, J. Stott, David Williams, and Tom Smith. The usual votes of thanks brought the pro- ceedings .to a successful close.
