NOTES AND JOTTINGS- MR HEMMERDE. After an absence of some seven months our member visited Rhos on Wednesday evening. On the Tuesday night he was speaking at Bromley, Kent, and on the Thursday night he spoke at Coedpoeth, and on Friday he speaks at Portsmouth. In giving an account of himself, Mr Hem- merde fully satisfied his critics as to where he had been and what he had been doing. He believed he was better employed in speaking to Buckingham farmers and the unenlightened people up and down the country, than by preaching to the convert- ed of East Denbighshire. He had spared neither time, energy, or health in the work of tilling the ground ready for the coming harvest. He had already fought two by- eleccions on the principles embodied in the democratic Budget, and felt he was empowered to use East Denbighshire as a cudgel to attack the enemy. As a matter of fact East Denbighshire was re- sponsible to some extent for the inclusion of the land clauses in the Budget. And when the great Budget was introduced, in spite of the fact that he was unwell, he was in constant attendance in the House of Commons when the land clauses were under discussion. On the very day of the annual Rhos Eisteddfod, he was speaking on the land clauses in the House. In Sept, although not in good health he felt the call of his country for fighters in the national crisis, and at the risk of ruining his health, he embarked upon a twenty- 3ne days speaking tour. This, said Mr Hemmerde, is my explanation, if any ex- planation is needed. As our representa- :ive, Mr Hemmerde, during the next few weeks, will carry the banner of East Den- bighshire wherever the forces are weak, md tell the waverers and fallen by the vay, that there was soon coming a tug- >f-war that would require every democrat- c elector in the country to lend his weight n the 11 pull for right, for justice, for nogress, and tor democracy. -it. I MR DAVID RHYS AT RHOS. The Conservative candidate, so it ap- 'I pears, has stormed that hot-bed of Lib- eralism, Rhos, and held a successful meeting there. On ri ay, tvening he came, crept to the National Schools, made a few remarks, and crept away again, without any, except a few Conser- vatives knowing anything at all about I his visit. The disappointed Liberals of Rhos woke up on Saturday morning to be told that the Budget had been slashed to pieces, and the principles of Free Trade shaken to the roots. And this to the ac- companiment of frantic cheers from the local Conservatives. Then it was that Rhos Liberals, outwitted by this master- stroke, gnashed their teeth at the dis- appointment. For we have waited long and eagerly to hear Mr Rhys and to ask him a few questions. Perhaps Mr Rhys will come again some day. Not, we hope, with the stealthiness of a nihilist chief with a fateful message to his secret confederates, but on the Public Hall plat- form-the platform from which he once flung those now famous words: "Give me a five minutes hearing, and I will say I good-bye to Rhos forever." I, I' MR CLEMENT EDWARDS. 1 On Thursday evening, Mr Clement Ed- wards, M.P., addressing the Wrexham Liberal Two Hundred, said that they were on the eve of a general election, forced upon them by the House of Lords, < who were acting disloyally to the Throne, < breaking down the Coastitution, and abusing the Royal prerogative. There were two very clear issues before the el- I ectors, and although they knew he had 1 taken a strong line upon one questibn in < opposition to the party, that question and t :veryining else must now give way be- bre the seriousness of the. present situa- t ion. A state of chaos was to be brought >y an irresponsible unrepresentative body md the fate cf the present Parliament )laced before the country for decision. j < :f they submitted without a protest to the lictation of the Lords on this occasion, vhat was there to prevent them from de- t :laring a dissolution every time a Finance t Bill was introduced with which they did lot agree ? The present Budget had got :o go through. Another thing must also I )e settled-the absolute right of the Com- < nons to insist upon all future Finance Rills being passed into law without alter- ttion. <

It is interesting to state that it was delivered at its proper < address and to the person, it was for. considering our postman has only been n the service six months we can only :hink that he is the right man in the pro- per place.
