LORD ERNEST HAMILTON’S CANDIDATURE IN NORTH TYRONE

MEETING AT BALLYLAW

On Monday a meeting of LORD ERNEST HAMILTON’S supporters was held at three o’clock in MR. ROBERT STEVENSON’S granary, Ballylaw. REV. MR. STEWART, rector of Leckpatrick, occupied the chair.

The Chairman having delivered an address then introduced Lord Ernest Hamilton.

Lord Ernest, who was accorded a hearty greeting, in the course of his address touched on many topics, including leasehold tenant right, relief of the purchasers of glebe lands, primary education, and the improvement of the position of the national teachers, and wound up by calling on the loyal electors of all denominations to unite to repel the invasion of Ulster by Mr. Dillon and the Nationalists.

REV. MR. MITCHELL, Presbyterian minister, moved a vote of confidence in Lord Ernest Hamilton, which was seconded by MR. DANIEL WILSON, B.A., T.C.D., supported by MR. JOHN ROSS, B.L., and passed unanimously.

Lord Ernest returned thanks, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and to Mr. Stevenson brought the proceedings to a close. (Londonderry Journal)
