Mr. Mc- Laughlin in the course of his remarks Stated that Mr. Delemere’s platform seem- ed verv sixnular to his own, both being opposed to coercion, and at one in condemning the actions of the present gov- ernment, and that Mr. Delamere had better join forces and help him to carry the election. Mr. Delamereâ€"“That would be nice for you.” Mr. McLaughlin made the speech of the evening. Neither Major Sam Hughes nor a representative of his was present. It was evident to the meeting that Mr. Herron was for Mr. Delamere. Mr. A. Donnelly occupied the chair. The meeting was very orderly throughout. ,_ _____ A -£ L111Uu5uuuy.

Considerable grain was brought intol town during the past week, but the bot-1 tom has evidently fallen out of the mar-3 ket. Prices for all kinds of grain are‘ down several notches, as will be seen by‘ the list below. The wocl market is dull. In Hamilton the price stands at 15c to 16c, and in Toronto 17c to 18c. In Lindsay, owing to the strife between the buyers, the price has been well maintained at. 18c to ‘20c.
