When Mr Stevens spoke, lie mentioned bis having been unable to find a circular which be believed was in tho hands of most of Mr Pirani's snuporters,. relating to bis pasi political career. Some one present banded bim up one, and asked bim for an explanation, which he gave to the satisfaction of most of those present. Mv Pimm met witli opposition at bis meeting the following night, and was challenged as to " no defence " being " the best defence." He was also asked if be considered it gentlemanly to speak and write so much against the other candidates. Mr Wilson was asked the usual questions, which he answered to the satisfaction ot his questioners, and was the only candidate who received, in addition to a vote of thanks, a vote of confidence. On the whole, Mv Wilson seems to have the most support.
