TUEGYNON. A. meeting in support of the candidature of Captain Mvtti.n was ho.d at the Schoolroom, Tregynon, cm Friday evening If st, when the chair was taken by Mr L-wis-Andrew. There was a fair attendance, and a vote of confidence was passed in Captain Mytton. Duii''g the evening the boys of the village shied stones a', ts.' do'.r, and burnt an effisy of Captain Mytton. Mr R-; del, who p^aed through on his way to Biitw. was loudly che-red. F'om there Captain Myttou ptuctletLd to Manafon, wht.re he uddressed aitOjhi.i' ii^fcu'in/.

ABEHHAFESP. In the ev iiing, Captain Mytton arrived at the Pentrc, Aber: afeop, wtieu a meeting was held in a room wh e,, bt,i been kindly lent f,-r the occfttion by Mr Park Pe .tiv. l'he clinir was taken by Mr E. B. frocL..r, At>er;iu.!esp Hall, an l he was supported by Cap K. n Mytton, Mr i^dw.rd Buckley, Milford Hall, an J Mr Pryeo ULestiiawr Hall. There were aU> o e ent Mr. Procto", M, Savage, Glaudu:as,M' ^aV'i £ 6, Rev. J. Dixurt, Mr Rs, hciiooltDatitGr, and Mr P.-trke, at.d a-ve' al farmers Ï th, ii, ighbourtiood. The iHAiitMAS, who w 's received with applause, sa d ihut he hopel may womd >:ive Captain Mytton a fin hearing, and that be wuu.d convince them of the WI.VOLU of voting for a man who was a thoroughbted and not an alien. Capi Sill h TTON SAID tnar. he had come there that eveim g i.pon a very auspicious out-,Lt,ion. His colleague i.tid bem returned for the boroughs, and he was sorry to hear that in that country of Wales, which was euch a law abiding country, that the gentleman who xiad been returned for the boroughs was in pome da.iger if he endeavoured to return to his own hums. The feeling among the boroughs was nothing what had been predicted by the Kadicals, and the majorities were not so great, and in Man- chester and Birmingham it was clearly seen, Bir- mingham especially, )1ere Mr Chamberlain, for the last six years, had fought the battle of the Unionist patty, throughout thick and thin. He was the lest received statesman that had ever been in the country, and ib was within their recollection how well he was received in the meeting held at Nowtjwn, and he was certainly an acquisition to the Liberal party when he was acting tor Mr Gladstone. The polling in the counties was about to begin, and he thought it oeboved the counties more particularly to think whether their interests would not suffer if Mr Gladstone was brought back to power. Mr Gladstone had stated that the only thing that he would bring forward was his scheme of Home Rule, which b'ooked the way of any other measure that he was likely to bring forward. Then they had to consider exactly the differences of the two parties-the Unionist parcy-how it got to be formed. After the divisions of the Liberal party, Lord Salisbury came into power, and with the help of the Unionists formed what he believed had been the strongest Government that had been formed in that country for a very long time (applause). The principle motive of the Unionist party was patriotism. It was a patriotic party (cheers). Formed entirely to prevent any severunce of any portion of the United Kingdom, and the other party-Mr Gladstone's party —was not a patriotic party at all, it was formed for a party purpo-e. Mr Gladstone had said to the con- stituencies, Give me a majority that I may he in. dependent of the Irish people altogether." The con- "nnn; to t'n jo. I him an ft thA nrnisennenfiB was that he could not exist without the Nationalist party, and he joined hands with them-the very party that he had been abusing through thick and thin ten years ago-the party that were guilty of rapina and plunder-he joined hands with them merely for a party advantage, and because he could not expect to keep the pf ty together without their help. They had only to look at the character of the leaders of Mr Gladstone's party, and they could tell what they were. Mr Parnell for a long time was the leader of the National party, and had control over them with a very powerful hand, but they should recollect that the funds for keeping that party were supplied by those Irishmen who had emigrated to America, and who were hostile to England, and would be hoslile to the end of the chapter. Those were the political leaders of Mr Gladstone, and ever since he had joined hands with them his power had been dwindling down to a vanishing point. They would also recollect that Mr Gladstone joined hands with the party who were the promoters of the plan of campaism. all + I ng a a i intimidate men from taking a farm They would remember that the charges against the Irish members in that plan of campaign ;e.e so serious that the Government instituted a royal commission to try those charges to see whether the Irish members were really guilty of them. Of the most serious part they were not found guilty, but there was plenty of guilt upon them, and the judges J! n- ;11.0.01 found tnat tne pian or campaign Bfj measure. The question now was whether they would submit to another scheme of Mr Gladatone's -Home Rule for IrelanJ, -and above all things to hand over the Ulster population in Ireland to the denomination of those mea who originally advocated the National league in Ireland. The Ulster oonven- tion was held but a few days ago, and was opened with prayer to the Almighty for blessings upon their proceedings, and in the most solemn and deliberate manner one speaker after another declared that they would not have Home Rule for Ireland (ap- plause)-and they appealed to them still, saying that they were as loyal as they were, and refused to be cast adrift and placed at the mercy, as it were, of their hereditary enemies. If a parliament was formed in Ireland it would be a Roman Catholic Parliament, and they knew that the members of the Roman Catholic religion were very much under the dominion of the priests, and took their advice in most matters, much more than perhaps other creeds did. That appeal from Ulster was not made by Conserva- tives it vvas made by the Unionist Nonconformists, people of the North of Ireland, men of all creeds— Rani ists. Wesleyans, Episcopalians, and all the different creeds—were united and joined in their appeal to them, that they would not place them at the mercy of their enemies (applause). Surely they would listen to that appeal and say that it was not a fair and just measure to hand over the Ulster minority in Ireland to the domineering majority? Al hough the people of Ulster were only one-fourrh of the population it was the most induotrious and the most capable part of the inhabitants of I- eland, and •hey certainly deserved some consideration at their hal. d (applause). Then they should consider what it mesi'-t to hand over Ireland to a people who had a hatred to England, and who had stated over and over again that they would not be content until they were entirely separated from England. They ouiht to consider whether they could allow a hostile race in an island opposite their own shores and leady upon any occasion to attack them and make it a resting place for England's enemies. Such a thing was HD. ossible in his mind. He could not think that the nation would accept such a scheme, and the man who brought it forward did not bring it forward for the intents of the Empire, but for the advantage of the party (applause). It could never exist for any time even it it was carried, and those who read the papers would see that by the elections now taking place There was an intense bad feeling between the Pa-nellites and the Anti-Parnellites. They had had six years of careful and firm government in Ireland, and he thought a large amount of the credit was due to that statesman-Mr Balfour (applause) who went over at a critical moment, and had faced all the aspersions cast upon him. He had been called brutal, bloody Balfour and snob n»mes as that, and « had heen firm in his resolve, and determined to oovem the country with a firm hand, and put down all the iutimidrttion and boycotting and cruel practices ;orwa.rded by tie National League. Those leaders of the Irish party, alien members of their own league, conspi ed against th. ir people and caused murders to be c"millitt.e(t mi ins .& of ct e population combining together to urirg the cz-iminals to justice they com- bined toqether to shelter them from justice. Mr Gladstone h)id time after time attempted measures for the s ttlement of the Irish difficulties. First of all he pave the Irish people disestablishment, which was supposed to be the very thing that was required, and as the Roman Cavholics out-numbered the Protestants it was thoaght by that mea-sure they would be conciliated; but they were not satisfied, and th-n he brought up the land question, and the country was disturbed to a great extent. That bill was brought in to appf-ase the wants of the Ir sh people. Did it do so ? (Voice: No.") During the last six years it had been governed wisely, all they had ample evidence to shofr. Then ther + had been passed the Crirnii al Act for the purpose of bringing criminals to justice, and now there were only two criminals in cust dy under that Act throughout Ire- land. Ireland h id been governed w sely and firmly, but at the same time they had endeavoured to see what would be fur the benefit of the country. Mr Balfour had, with ti e aid of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, raieed subscriptions to alleviate tbe distress, and Mr Balfour, to see tor himself, went over a great part of the cuntry, and traversed all the distant parts—the poor and depopulated pirte-saw what they wanted, came back and told the Government, who administered to the relief of the distressed (appiause). He als > brought forward a scheme by which the distant fisbing districts could be brought into connection with the moro richer parta of the country, and also to promote agriculture, and he instituted light railways. The Radical Pregs laughed at him because he had placed iigot rall. ways in iu's address. Th> y l ad been successful ie Ire and, and he could not see after reading the Ac1 f Parliament why they could not be ina,ie !,o Wale,; a13,) "¡hat had they enjoyed during the la; t six y;ar.- ?—an n,¡jnterJ."tl!.td peace (appl -.use). And they had had peace with honour the whole of that time, and that was t.he motive of Lord Beacons- field when he came home from Berlin, and it had been sustained. Li-t hetu contrast that with the previous Government. The previous Government had spent X20,000,01)0 for war in the >amo time. Th ra were s me comparisons there and a comparison which was very favourable to the Unionist party. The working men had had a arreat deal doue for them. There had been a sum of Y,2,000,000 given to pay for the school f es, and they made the schools free throughout the country, and it was a great boon to the country tvat the Chancellor of the Exchequer was able to manage the resources ai, his command, so as to give them the frep edncation Of course, the Liberals had ofteuaail" We must givefrei education." Did They do it? There was a deed not a promise. He hated promises, but liked performanc,- B Then again the Radical cry was to make t free breakfast for the working man. It was impossible to take the taxes off all things, but that principle bad been acted upon by the late Government, and the tax had been reduced upon tea and currants— £ 1,700.000 bad b-len taken off those two commodities. Besides that they had the duty taken off tobacco, which he believ d was a great boon to the working man who was fond of his pipe of tobacco (applause). But the Govern- ment had not administered to one class alone to tne detriment of others. The income tax had been reduced, and they ought to show their gratitude to the Unionist party by returning them again to power (applause). Rt ferrintr to the land qtu stioa of Mr Reudel's, he said that ho considered ita most iniquitous m asnre for Wales. Mr Rendel had come down, as it were, to set tho country ablaze, and not satisfied with having set churches against chapels he had come down there and set owner against occupier by ho!ding up a chance of legislature tor the land. Mr Rendel talked of his love for Wales, and bragged himself for the way he led the Welsh party. Some people described him not as the member for Montgomeryshire but as the member for Wales; but he was not a member for anything at all now, and he hoped that he never would be (applause). A vote of confidence in Captain Mytton having been passed, the meeting closed.

THE ELECTION IN THE MONTGOMERY BOROUGHS Meetings in support of the two candidates were held at several of the boroughs during the days preceding the poll, when much enthusiasm prevailed. As the speaking at all of them was principally of an exhortive character, we give but one report-that of the Welshpool meeting, where Mr Owen Owen de- livered an excellent address on disestablishment. THE NOMINATIONS. The Returning Officer, Colonel R. J. Harrison, attended at the Town Hall, Montgomery, on Monday, at noon, to receive the nomination papers for th9 borough election. No objections were made, and the following nominations were duly announced :— THE HON. F. S. A. HANBURY-TRACY. Mr Richard Lloyd, proposer and Mr Hugh Lewis, seconder. Assentors, Messrs George Morgan, Fron, Llanllwcbaiarn. Newtown, Martin Woosnam, Llano llwchaiarn, Newtown, William Lewis, New-road, New- town, Thomas Roes, Canal Basin, Llanllwchaiarn, Newtown, Richard Phillip, Broad-street, Newtown, Cornelius Morgan, Brynnafren, Llanllwcbaiarn, Newtown, William Cooke, New-road, Newtown, John Humphreys, Union-street, Llanllwchaiarn, Newtown. SIR PRYCE PRYCE-JONES. Morris Charles Jones, of Gungrog Hall, Welshpool, William Forrester Addie, seconder, and assented to by Henry Jones, Thomas Joneia, John Paddock, Wm. Roberts, David Richards, Thomas Oliver, Wm. Farmer, and Henry Smith. Both candidates were present with their agents, Mr Hanbury-Tracy being also accompanied by his proposer and seconder. There was no demonstration of any kind. Other nomination papers had been prepared by both sides, bnt were not needed. THE POLLING AT NEWTOWN. The polling throughout Thursday was kept up very vigorously by both sides, and it was calculated that two in every minute recorded their vote in the earlier par1; of the day, and by twelve o'clock 800 voters had visited the various polling boo-Jiio. The weather was f-iMv pleasant, bnt th.o a high I -L.:1 raised clouds of dust. In the isfternoon it was estimate — j rw" —. — o'clock—the closing: hour—950 had been chucked on the register, which was an increase on the last election of 32, and on the election of 1885, 49 and the total was within 25 of the possible number, There were three polling booths, presided over as follows :-Pi)nygloddfa School: Mr Martin Woosnam, with Mr C. E. Churchill, olerk; New Church-street Board Schools: Messrs E. L. R. Jones, and G. J. Salter, clerk, and Messrs it. JM. Jervis ana John Edwards, clerk. During tt e day the streets were paraded by crowds of both parties, and a great deal of good humoured fun prevailed, although in some cases some unfortunate enthusiast was made to embrace mother earth. A noticeable feature of the contest was the vigour with which the ladies worked. Primrose Dames and Liberal Federationists, wearing their dislinctive rosettes, walked to and tre all day, or took th)ir tarn as "guards" at the entrance to the pollingboochg. As soon as the booths closed, the boxes were set led and conveyed by the police to the police-station. 118 they proceeded along the streets they were folloved by a crowd, who cheered. Later in the evening E torch. light proco-sion paraded the streets, and it ail not until considerably after eleven o'clock that quiet prevailed. THE COUNTING took place in the Town Hall, Montgomery,before I Col. R. J. Harrison, returning officer. Tbeboxes arrived at the hall about eleven o'cloek, ad the counting was at once commenced. There wre not ntanv about at this hour, but as the time wet on a crowd collected around the ball, and varioi con. jectures were made as to the result. The colurs of the Tory party were en evidence, and one of thmost curious partisans was a dog which had been linted blue. Pigeon flyers, with their little basketftnder their arms, waited anxiously, and a short timaefore the poll was declared 3everal were let fly, aignal having being given from the windows of ti hall. About half-past one Col. R. J. Harrison opeid the window, and this was at once the signefor a tremendous outburst of cheering. Althoui the Colonel appealed for silence it was not grant, and he closed the window and retired. This caud the crowd to refrain from cheering, and the wind. waa again opened, and Col. Harrison then annound the result as follows PRYCEJONES 15 HANBURY-TRACY 13 Majority 3 Terrific cheering followed the declaration. Sir PRYCE PitycE-Jo NEs then addressed thtrowd and thatik-d them. and hoped they would be pebble, quiet, and receive their victory with calmness,wiout lusing their heads. Their victory was a glorioone. It was a Unionist victory (applause). It as a victory for Lord Salisbury, for Lord Hartingt(atid Mr Chamberlain (loud cheers). And althoughere was gallant little Wales he wanted th,m toilise the fact that Montgomery Boroughs bad been Iant (aoplause). Such a eubistantial majority hapeen giveo that he was satisfied (loud applause), jwas satisfied that their opponents would regard is an index thar. Mont gomeryebire-if left alon-was Unionist (cheers). Their duty now was to and fight for C ipt. Mytton (cheers). The result that day's contest would go str light, not only to Idon, but throughout gailaut little Walet and thrOiout the Kingdom-(ioad cheers)-and it was ont the greatest victories that bad taken place (appla). A chair was then procured, and the sutsfnl candidate was carried around the town, surnded by a crowd of supporters. RECEPTION OF THE NEWS AT NEWWN. A crowd of persons flocked on the steps letg to the Post Office to await the result, which arid at I about two o'clock. Cheering and waving oand- k :rchitfs greeted the announcement. Thesurteri3 of the opposite factions then got much excit and the uproar was defeaning and fights were frent, and lively scenes occurred throughout that of the day, cheering, singing, and boohing eing carried on without intermission until a vdate tour. A larje force of Bpecial and parish coules, together with a body of police drafted frother counties was on duty, and the turbu ent scewit- noBsed in 1885 were not re-euaeted. SeveralsnnB were roughiy handled, but the police report the conduct of the crowds on the whole wa< satisfy. Mr and Mrs Hanbury-Tracy left Newtc for Mount Severn in the afternoon, but few ehes were delivered, and those were principally dird to the counselling of peac-i and order. WELSHPOOL. At an early hour on Thursday the work of day was commenced, and it was evident, as far as cers were concerned, that the Tories had a good' on hand, and with a zeal and determination they .red ready and willing to do what they could to peters to the poll. A large number of vehicleii weremir command, even more than was necessary the work. On the other hand the Liberals had no vehicles, and the staff of workers on their side was far from numerous, some pi onjinent men were dis- tingu'shed by their absence. A good deal of blue ribbon was used not only as rosettes, but also in trimming the bead gear of horses, and the collars of dogs. A little rowdyism commenced about noon, and the Liberal candidate got roughiy handled by a few fanatics, who, judging by their appearance, were not responsible for their actions. Thanks to the respect- i able Conservatives order was maintained, and the appeals made by these gentlemen had the effect of checking the unruly members of the crowd. To- wards evening a large crowd assembled outside the Town Hall, cheering each voter when going to the booth to record his vote. Several incidents took place of a comical chsracter, but nothing of a serious naturp occurred, excepting that a few young energetic Radicals wearing the red were roughly treated by some hot-headed Tories. Shortly after ten the crowd dispersed. On Friday both parties were on the tip- toe of expectation awaiting the result. It seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Sir Pryce would win, several waggonettes going up to Montgomery to hear the result. Long before one o'clock a large crowd assembled outside the Post Office for the news. Shortly after two the result was made known that Sir Pryce had been returned by over 200; but a later telegram giving the correct figures, 118, was bailed with wild entbusiasum, the crowd cheering again and a?ain. Each party thought that there would be but a small majority, but to find that. Sir Pryce had increased his majority in 1885 from 85 to 118 was beyond expectation. It was soon known that Sir rryce would be in tne town, and shortly after four he arrived, receiving a splendid reception, going round the town in a brake and followed by Lady Pryce-Joioes, Col. Harrison and Miss Harrison, Caerhowel; several other carriages brought up the rear. The procession was accompanied by a brass bxnd and a large number of his supporters. From the Oak balcony Sir Pryce thanked the electors for the honour conferred upon him, and urged those who were county voters to do their best to secure the return of Captain Mytton. Col. Harrison, Mr Thompson Harrison, and Mr Addie also spoke. Sir Pryce was loudly cheered on retiring. The bells of St. Mary's rang out peals in honour of the occasion. LLANIDLOES. Thursday was a day of much excitement at Lian- idloes. As early as seven o'clock sufficient signs were observable that something not of every day occurrence was about to take place. Both parti s were early in search of the doubtful voters, in order to poll them before they could be taken possession of by the opposing party. It was very soon evident that the Liberals were very well organised, and nearly had all their own way. The factories all closed at the breakfast hour, which fact added very considerably to the excitement and enthusiasm of the election, inasmuch that it enabled a greater number to assist in the work of the day. The Liberal ptrty were never so well organised, and out of an old register of 426, 403 were polled, there being only two voters in the town who were able, but did not, record their votes. After the closing of the poll the two ballot boxes were lodged in a cell at the police sta- tion. a fact which gave much satisfaction. The f-ame evening the Hon F. S. A. Hanbary-Tracy, Mrs Tracy, Miss Tracy, and others came in by train from New- town, and they were met at the station by a very large and enthusiastic crowd, who escorted them to the Trewythen Arm.- Hot-1, and after short addresses by Mr Tracy and Dr N. C. Jones, Mr Tracy and family drove to AJouut Severn. The following day- the day of the declaration of the poll-the mills were again closed in the afterno< n, and a large crowd anxiously awaited the result, which when it came at about two o'clrck, was read from tbe- window of Mr Tracy's committee ro m, and was received in silence, the news cast a gloom upon the whole town, and the streets were paraded by the crowd for a con- siderable time. LLANFYLLIN. There was no excitement or rowdyism on the polling day, and the supporters of both sides con- gratulated each other upon the absence of such. There was a heavy poll, being only one short of the total strength. MACHYNLLETH. At this place good work was done by the Liberals in bringing votera up to the poll early, and there was a corresponding activity on the other side, and by four o'clock ifve-sixths of the voters had polled. Very little excitement prevailed during the day until the arrival of the placards announcing the Tory tyranny" at Llanidloes, when great indignation was expressed. MONTGOMERY. The polling passed off satisfactorily. There was not much excitement, and both parties claimed t. be satisfied with the res alt. THE POLLING AT PAST ELECTIONS.

POLITICAL NOTES. The following questions were forwarded, from the Executive Committee of the North Wales Teraper- ance Association, to all the Parliamentary caudiùatee in North Wales:—1. Will you make eHJry possible effort to get the District Veto (Wales) Bill pa.ssed inta law P 2. Will you oppose Compensation to Publi. cans ? 3. Will you support Bills on five important subjects? Mr Stuart Rendel replied An ardent advocato of all sound temperance legislation. "-Captain Mytton made answer "I cannot conscientiously answer these questions in the affirmative, for thongfe- an abstainer myself, and a sincere advocate of tain- perance principles, I prefer not to be fettered with any pledges to support Bills the contents of which- are not before me." Neither the Honble. F. S. A. Hanbury-Tracy or Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones rep;ied. The Executive warmly recommend Mr Stoarfr Rendel as worthy of the support; of every man who loves sobriety." Ex-station master Hood spoke last week at a meet- ing in Birmingham in support of the candidature of Mr Bloor. He said: "The Select Committee f(1,und that the Cambrian Company had dismissed Mœ mainly because of his evidence befure the Committee, and the matter being brought up in the Honse, A resolution was proposed to give him compensation* and reinstate him; but this was lost, and amongst those who voted against it were Mr Kearick-(grot. Ir —and Mr Jesse Coilings-(groaris).-whilst his bwtf friends were the Labour members (loud cheers). AU his life he (Mr Hood) had beon a Tory working man, and had voted for the Conservative party; but, need he ask them, could he vote for the Tories again ? (" No," and cheers.") No, he could not, find it wae because the Labour members were his best friends in time of need that he came to Birniingham to support Mr Bloor (loud and continued applause).—The reso- lution having been carried unanimously, Mr Bloor, who was received with great spirit and enthusiasm, said that, as shown by ex Station master Hood, the working classes could not expect justice at the hands of a Tory Government" (Le ir, hear). Mr Rendel's address finds admirers outside the Principality. A Liverpool newspaper has a leaderette on it, and remarks:—" Mr Stuart Rmdel has issued a timely admonitior. to the Liberals of Wales. Perhaps never before were they face to face with such a crisis as that which now confronts them. Their grand demand is disestablishment in the Principality. Mr Gladstone and the English Liberal party, on the faith of assurances that an overwhelm- ing public sentiment exists in favour of religions equality, have pledged themselves to deal with the Establishment in Wales at the earliest possible moment. Therefore it is indispensable at this juncture that every nerve should be strained, d every Liberal elector attracted to the polls, i ho Ministerialists, including the Duke of Devonshire, are absolutely committed to a refusal of the Welsh demand." It goes on to say-" If Welshmen desire to put an end to the ascendency of a sect there is only one course for them now to pursue, and Mr Stuart Rendel points it out. So favourable an opportunity may not recur for a long period. The Church in Wales is a fortress of privilege and of unprogresaive Toryism. It is perpetually obstructing the advance of the people, socially and politically. As Mt Stuart Rendel says, it is the Dubiin Castle of Wales? and he reminds every Nonconformist who may be inclined to record a Tory vote that at the stage of the struggle he is betraying the cause v. religious freedom and Welsh Nationality. This is i stirring appeal, and we have every confidence th; Welshmen will make becoming response." We strongly commend tee att-mtion or ten farmers in this county and elsewhere to the « important speech delivered on Tuesday week by Stuart Rendel at Nowtown, which we reported fab. last week, and which haa been circulated throughout; the constituency. Af-t.cr a careful examination of the Welsh land problem, Mr frendel was forced to the conclusion that separate legislation upon this quee- tion is a reasonable demand, and he does not at all' despair of a Land Bill for Wales being adopted by the Liberal party. Mr Rendel refuses to acknowledge" the right to absolute property in land, or that tber owner is entitled to do with it as he pleases. He1 holds that the primary right to land is the right o. human race to live upon it, and that the Stato ougl < to allow no owner of lAnd to let it run to waste, or fa' refnse adequate security of tenure to the occupier. Again, Mr Rendel, in common with the Liberal party generally, is of opinion, that the owner and not the* occupier should be held responsible for the payowut of rates and taxes on land, and for this he adicced several weighty and powerful reasons. shrink with horror from such revolutionary theories! Does not their land legally belong to them, and bat not every man a right to do what he likes with his own ? Who among them would refrain from resenting so audacious an invasion of the sacred rights of property P Certainly not Captain Mytton He is so staunch a friend of liberty—the liberty of landlords to do as they plea.so,-that he will not suffer "the law to step in between them and their tenants, and holds that the proposed reform of the laws relating to i and are among the seeds of discontent" sown by the Liberals. As LIe is averse to any separate ligiilution for Wales, he would, of course, upon that ground, if upon no other, oppose any and every,- Welsh Land Bill. Mr Rendel, in his remarks upon this subject, was careful not to raise any false hopes in the minds of the farmers who formed so large a portion of his audience. He dwelt with all his accustomed eloquence and force upon the necessity of carrying- disestablishment as a condition precedent to all- other separate legislation for Wales. The omission in Captain Mytton's election address of all reference to this subject of Welsh Die-establish. ment after having challenged his opponents to make it the teat question in Montgomeryshire at the present election, and insisted that there should be "no shrinking from it, or shirking it," is no less significant thm ludicrous. It reminds one somewhat of Pwicftfs* famous cartoon, of Lord John Russell chalking "No- Popery on the wall and then running away. Although the Tory candidate for Montgomeryshire declares h mseif ready at all times to advance the" interests of the Principality," his Welsh bill of fare is decidedly meagre. It consists, in fact, of only' one item-light railways for Wales—a very good dililtJ in its way, but hardly substantial enough for a meal, One might search in vain the election addressee* and speeches of Captain Mytton and other Welsh Tory candidates for a single expression of real sym. pathy with the national aspirations of the Welab people, or a word definitely to indicate any kind of constructive policy upon the questions in which they are mainly interested. The only policy which can be" gathered from their utterances is virtually a policy of negation, of hopeless resistance to inevitable change. How complete the contrast in this respect- between the Tory and Liberal candidates A Cemmaea correspondent writeii.Capt. Mytton V supporters have been busy canvassing in this dis- trict, aud on Monday night. June 27, the Conserva- tive candidate, supported by Mr Henry Owen, the- Conservative candidate for Merionethshire, Mea^r01 Hughes, of Carnarvon, H. Lester Smith, and others' addressed a meet ing held at the National Schoolroom' which was presided over by Mr Ryder. The meeting' w-s fairly attended, mostly by Liberals. The speacers were often interrupted by ories of Rendel tor erer." It was expected that a vote of confidence* in Capt. Mytton would have been carried with acclamation, out they were disappointed. m All thi4 farmers of Cemmaes district who attended; Machynlleth fair on Monday week, attended Mr Rendnl's meeting at the Town Hall, and were delighted with Mr Rendel'slucid and straightforward address, aud returned greatly strengthened in the" Liberal creed, determined to vote solid for the" Liberal candidHte. Mr Rendel's clearness on all points of interest to the county electors gives him; great advantage over his gallant opponent's vague PJu ml^8l Liberal prospects are as good in all- other districts as in Cemmaes the victory will be won by an overwhelming majority. „ Tll0 Tories are taking the credit of passing the-1 *1 ree Education Act, and the answer to the claim is- that the Free Education Bill was a Radical measure -Mr Hartley, who moved its rejection, described it; as such—passed under a Tory Government, in order that it might remain in power, but mainly by Liberal votes, The division was 318-Jor the bill, and 10" against it The Liberals were in 4% majority in the* 318, and about 200 Tory members purposely abstained1 from voting. And that is how history is made MB. GLADSTONE'S LATEST ON WELSH DISESTAR.- LISHMENT.
