The audience listened with practical satisfaction.

"That's Tellier all over," they said to one another...
The effect in committee of what, in spite of the Hon.

Mr Tellier's participation, I must continue to call the speech of the evening, may be gathered from a brief colloquy between Mr Bingham and Mr Williams, in the act of separating at the door of the opera house.
"I don't know what it was worth to preference trade," said Bingham, "but it wasn't worth a hill o' beans to his own election." "He had as soft a snap," returned Horace Williams, on the brink of tears--"as soft a snap as anybody ever had in this town.

And he's monkeyed it all away.

All away." Both the local papers published the speech in full the following day.
"If there's anything in Manchester or Birmingham that Mr Lorne Murchison would like," commented the Mercury editorially, "we understand he has only to call for it.".
