Jftansvaal. In 1881, January 6, after ample time for reflection, the Liberal leader declared that it "as necessary to promptly re-establish the Queen's authority by force of arms. Three battles followed, then the independence that previously had n refused was granted. If, therefore, it was fjgbt to grant the Boers independence after being thrice soundly beaten by them it was right to &"rant it before those unfortunate battles took place, and, therefore, no effort of logical reasoning could •saddle the Conservatives with any responsibility this war. (Applause.) Secondly, Egypt and *"6 Soudan. Millions of money and many thou- •ands of lives have been absolutely thrown away. squandered, in this unfortunate country. Oh," the Liberal, that was all owing to you insti- tuting the Dual Control. Now, France and England a great money stake in Egypt, and the Dual Control gave them command of Egyptian finances Only; and if this Dual Control caused the how is it that only one party to that Dual Control thought it necessary to embark in the war? If the Dual Control oid not oblige France to fight it cannot have been the cause of our misfortunes, and, therefore, the Conservatives cannot be blamed for them. No Government failed to understand that the £ yptian rebellion was a righteous rebellion of down-trodden, wretched slaves against harsh Waters: they failed to see this, and they blundered :>n from one error to another, involved loss of tooney, loss of life, and loss of honour. Liberal electors, you are responsible for this. (Sear, hear.) Lord EMLYN, who was well received, dealt with remarks which he said he was reported to have made at Llanddarog. The first was that he that he thought the working man's children Squired no education beyond being taught to read and write a little. ("Shame.") There was only °ne thing with regard to that, and it was a thing was sorry to say of anyone, but the person stated that he said that had stated a thing that was utterly and absolutely untrue. (Applause.) Not nly did be never say, or even think, such a thing, "Ut let them bear in mind that he had for some time past been actively dealing with education— (hear, hear)-and it was Mr. Gladstone's Govern- ment who had put him on the Education Commission. Probably the gentleman who had heen putting these statements into his mouth lnlght say that he (the speaker) was an useless Member of it, but he would allow that gentleman to toake use of that. (Hear, hear.) Now, he would tell them his opinions on this, and he should like them to take his opinions from him. People say what they liked, but as long as he was 4 candidate he should hold to his opinions, and he ould tell them to those whom he asked for their otes. (Hear, hear.) He held that the working- toen's children should have a good education, and let them bear in mind that was not a mere state- ment of his, but it had been put in the report he had signed as a member of the Commis- sion on Education. (Applause.) And, now, what become of that gentleman who skulked behind the hedge and had told them when he (the speaker) as not present what he had said, or rather hot said. There was another statement he must trouble them about, the statement that he had said tl.at he thought Is. 8d. per day quite enough for a labourer to earn, and that I\>ages were too high at present. He (the speaker) Qad never said anything of the kind. He did not Oppose the gentleman who said so was present, Or he would like to bring that gentleman IQ book. He saw many there that night who had en at Llanddarog, and he asked them whether he had said anything of tbe kind. (" No, no.") There was another story, too, about the that he was going to put a duty 0.1 corn, and that was also untrue, and tlot only that, but he (the speaker) had Wedged himself not to put this duty on. But that Id not affect this blatant orator, who went about 'Renting facts for his party. What he (the Peaker) asked them to do was to test him by his acts 11\ the past, and if he had pledged himself to any- thing he had not carried out he must say, Don't ust him," but if he had carried out his promises e hoped they would trust him. (Applause.) Canon WILLIAMS and Mr. PICTON then addressed the meeting in Welsh, after which Lord EMLYN proposed, and Sir MARTEINE LLOYD ponded, a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Seymour, their chairman. ..This having been carried, cheers were given for J1'8 lordship and Sir Marteine. The proceeding then tei'Uiinated.
