Gamey, in reply, said : I thank you all very inucii indeed for tlio very kind reception you have ttivun me here to-night. I might shy in l>ehalf of my old school friends that I deeply appreciate the addvusa that has been (resented to mu to night. This is my home, tliu jilace the representatives of a government in power arrayed ai^aist mc, as well as pucli men as J. W. .Johnston, probably one of \ I hu cleverest criiiiiiial lawyers in Canada. ; I am not going to muke a political sp:,'cch { I to you to-nigbt. You did not come hori'; I to listen to a p iliticul speech, You, Ii think, camo lure rather for the purpose ; of seeing me .iiid to listen to any e.xplaiia- ! I tioi. 1 might give you of the course I liavoi I pursued in the political arena. I have I b(!cn away from you for a groat many I years and in looking; over the audience I â-  \ CHiinot tell how many of you are Liberals ! I and how many (Joiisorvatives, but I want' to say this, that 1 do not wish to offend any Liberal present ; 1 do not want you to think that anything I am going to say reflects on you |)etsoniilly as Liberals. Ic has 1)0011 said tiiat I wa.s attacking the( judiciary of the land, I want it to bo j thoroughly undcistood that anything I may say to-night is not intended as a le- flectioii on the judiciary of tlio land in any sense whatever, and when I speak of Sir John Boyd^nnd .ludgc Falconbridgo in connection with the charges I made against J. R. Stmtion and the govern- ment, I do so only in their capacity as connmsaioners and not as judges. I know that tlio people of the old town- ship of Osprey aiipio:iato fair play. Fair play is all I ask for and is all I have de- manded from the commissioners of the government at any time, and if I seem to speak severely to-night it is because I be- lieve I have a right to go among the people of this province aiul tell them my side of the case. 1 want to tell the people my side of the case, beciuso I know the people of this province are intelligent and want to see fair play and will assure iiie that measure of fair pliy that is my due, irrespective of any political liias. Any two iiion of the township of Osprey might have been chosen to act as coniini«sioner« the same as Sir .luhii Boyil and .Judge Falconbridge were chosen, but tlieywou'd not have beru likely to have been chosen from this section, because thoio are too many ,Toiies in Osprey. When 1 sjioal* of thecninmissioneis I refer to them in coiinectioii with this particular case and not ill regard to tlieir integrity as judges of the land. J. R. Stiatton says tlmt the judges of the land should be and all above criiisisin. Neverthelosa, I propose to oritiiije the two gentlemen who sat upon what I call my case,to-niglib. I want my critisitm to be fair and I am prepared to stand by anthliig I may say.

I understood the condi- tions and retprrements of the particular suction in which I lived, and beinu some wb.kt auibitiuu^ 1 tliouuht I would try piditics. So I said to myself, "if you are lucky ennuiih to got the convention, and you know how these convi nti'ms are got, all you hatte to do U to make believe you | know a whole lot about politics and jolly | the dalegatna pr perly and the thing is done, Suitice to s-iy, that I secuind the convcntiun and wasulecied by 345 of a majority.

I had bftim appointed a delegate t<i wait U|miii litin Id 4^«r t<i discuss the qiiiiiiig law^ and in the discussion I managed to incur the viideiit displeasure of the lynorable gentliniaii, in fact he left the delegation wi.h tears in his eyes. The result of this interview with Mr. Davis was that 1 be- came a marked man, and after my election I was up for a protest. - I knew very well that I had run a clejin election, neverthe- less there was the petitioncimfronting me, the next c|nestion wirstj "what will I do." It would cost me SoOOO to defend myself. You have heard Mr. Lucas soy that the Liberals had spent ?11000 to try and un- seat Mr. Sutherland, so that I am not mis- roproseiiling the facts when I sny that it would have cost me at least $6000, Then I had Cap. Sullivan to contend with. This was the man who was sent from Tor- onto, a distance of nearly 500 miles, to see me in connection with this protest. Be camo to my house at 12 o'clock at night and said I have three propositions to offer you. The first is, that you resign ; the 2nd is, that you figjit a protest and we'll put you to all the expense we can. Now I said, what is the 3rd proposition you h.ivo to utTer me. lie siiid if you be- come a supporter of the government we will give you ?5000 snd withdraw the Ci.iiiduded on l(ist paqe The Markets. t'urcfiiUy t'orrcr cd Enoh Week Wool 14 to l(i Oats 27 -o 27 Peas (50 o 60 Wheat C5 to 65 Barley 45 to 46 Butler 14 to 14 Eags fresh 15 -I) 15 I'lirk 7 50 to 7 50 Chickens per pair.... 25 to i>0 Ducks per pair 40 to fiO Tuokeys jier lb 16 tt 15 Goose per lb 10 'o 10 Hay 6 00 to 6 Oo Potatoes bag - 50 lo 50 A Good Time Piece is a FaitMiil Semnt.
