MR. M'LAREN.

Mr. M'Laren continued with unaba-ted vigour his campaign on Saturday. He addressed four open-air meetings — the final one being attended by about 500 people. He made a strong appeal to the workers for their support, on the ground that his principles were truly democratic, and were in the best interests of the workers, whether in respect to their conditions of labour, or the increased comfort of their home life. If he went into Parliament, he would not hesitate to express his mind freely on any line of policy that he considered to be wrong. His claim for th© support of the general body of the electors was on broad grounds, because his aim would be to promote the development of the country on the best lines for the good of the mass of the people. He outlined a scheme under which the Government should combine with the municipalities for a vigorous and systematic extension and prosecution of the construction of homes for workers in suitable localities in tho vicinity of the cities. He desired the great mass of tho people to have a greater share in the property of the country, and "his aim was to check in this land many of the evils that existed in older countries. His reception was most cordial at all his meetings, and at the conclusion of each, he was heartily cheered.
