A SUGGESTION.

to not spiroK or thb paean. Sib,—l attended a meeting of the electors of the Avoa district last evening to hear Mr G. G. Stead's political viewu. How can I describe my fedlags whilst there at what I saw and heara f I will try. A large well lighted room, at one end the usraal raised plutfortn, la the chair a gentleman who seemed to unite the patience of Job, with the tact and good sense of our model modern chair* men; on his left Mr Stead, in front of them, extending to about three parts the length of the hall (with two exceptions) a quiet, orderly body of gentlemen, bat as the rear of the audience was examined one could easily see intermixed with the respectable part of it the class of men on© sees at oar squares, street corners and slums, and in the gallery a body 3f howling fiends chat woald do credic to the slums and purlieus of any European sity, who offended the ears and fee!lnge of the more respectable part o£ the audience by their din of personalities, interruptions %iad contradictions, aU t&sir ingenuity could devise. Now, I ask you, sir, and I earnestly call upon all the respectable pare of the community to try and devise come measure to pat a stop to each disgraceful scenes &t our public meetings. Mas a body of blackboards, calling themselves men, a right to prevent too elector g of a district hearing tae vtawet held by men seeking the high«» 6 honors we can confer upoa them? It seems to mc that a most effectual remedy would fe© to Issue tickets ot admission to electors only, numbered In the order In which they are placed on the roil, and, if necessary, Hitting in the order of the naosbero£ t&ese tickets. 1 tMak Shea, such & ecea© aa X witnessed last nlg&fc woald b® a thing of the past.
