A SCENE TO BE REMEMBERED.

MS,. .MASSE Y AND "THE TRIUMVIRATE." HASTINGS, This Day. Steady Vain fell at daybreak, and continued till noon, when there were signs of it clearing. Polling is progressing steadily, but the rain and the night's rest appears to have cooled political ardour, which had reached concertpitch. Scenes at Mi. Massey's meeting and at Mr. Dillon's mass meeting showed a gulf between the two parties. Mr. •Maesey's was the most orderly until towards the close, when a roar like distant thunder was heard swelling in volume of sound as a shouting mob drew near the hall, drowning Mr. Massey's Vpice and distuming the audience. "Take Qo notice of that," shouted Mr. Maesey, " 'tis the great Liberal Party ; you can tell them by the noise they make." Doors and windows were then closed, and the meeting proceeded. Outside, undei flaring lamps at tho street corner, shouting to make themselves heard, were the candidates who Mr. Massey termed "the triumvirate — the representatives of whisky, water, and castor oil," urging the people to be true to the cause of liberty, justice, and truth. It was a scene long to bo remembered.
