UNIONIST MEETING. – A successful meeting in support of the Hon. Evelyn Hubbard, Unionist Candidate, was held in the Schoolroom, on Saturday evening last. Besides the candidate there were present: Mr. S. R. Rooke (in the chair,) Mr. Macarteny (Unionist Member for South Antrim), Mr. E. H. Watts, Mr. Harcourt Smith, Mr. T. Donati, Mr. F. Warwick, Mr. J. Lord (Olney), Mr. C. Whiting, Mr. W. T. Smart, Mrs. Whiting, Miss Whiting, Mrs. J. Checkley. Mrs. Amos, Mrs. Coxall, Miss Coxall, Mr. T. Osborne, Mr. W. E. Millward (secretary of the Wolverton Conservative Association), Mr. B. Boulton, Mr. J. Harding, Mr S. Savage, Mr. H. Tregenza, Mr. T. Jacks, Mr. H. Rainbow, and Mr. J. Pike. The Chariman, in a brief address, said anyone, whatever his political opinions could not look at the excellent work the Government had got through without some degree of confidence in them. (Applause.) The affairs of the nation had been most successfully conducted, and Trades Unionism told them that the percentage of those out of employment had materially decreased in the past three years. While they could not look to any remarkable or immediate changes from the appointment of a Minister of Agriculture, he believed in the long run they would all be benefited by it. Mr. Macartney, M.P., who was cordially received, said he took it that at every elector should ask himself it there had been anything since the last election which should alter the vote he then gave for the present Government, or had there been any failure in its policy. He was fully assured that when they viewed the good results which had accrued to the country during the last three years they would arrive at the conclusion that those who formerly supported the present Lord Addington should now support his brother. (Applause.) Since the last election the Government had been fully and closely criticised, but he maintained that the accusations against its conduct had never been substantiated by their opponents. (Applause.) Under Mr. Gladstone they had small wars almost every part of the globe, but they were now reaping the benefits of peace. There had been an enormous increase of trade with Burmah, due to the action of the Government, and while their interests had been protected abroad, excellent and beneficial measures had been passed at home. (Applause.) Alluding to some of these measures, the hon. gentleman contended that although the Allotment Act had been called a sham Act, its operation had been most successful in many parts of the country, and in Suffolk, where he had had an opportunity of watching its working, there was not a village in which the labourers had not been supplied with allotments under its provisions. (Applause.) There, at any rate, and in many other places as well, the Act had met the requirements of the country at large. (Hear, hear.) They must also consider whether the Government had been true to the pledge they gave the country to be an economical Government; and he pointed out their opponents, who boasted so much of retrenchment, left them with a budget of 100 millions, and now it only amounted to 86 millions, and it stood at a lower figure now than for many years past. (Applause.) The Radicals talked great about making England a noble nation when they got into office, but it was certain they would make it a poorer one. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. Harcourt Smith, and Mr. T. Donati also addressed the meeting, which terminated with a unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. S. R. Rooke for presiding.
