There was a large attendance of electors at the Provincial Hall, on Monday evening, March 30th, when Mr John Graham, city member, delivered his post sessional address. The audience Included a large number of lady electors. Mr. Graham upon entering the room with his Chairman was warmly applauded.

Mr John Sharp, the chairman, in his prefatory remarks said that he was presiding in the absence of the Mayor. He said that it would to his mind be a great pity if all agreed in politics, as he was quite aware they did not, but he was sure that a fair hearing would be given Mr Graham. (Applause.) He was the member for the district, and whether or not the majority of electors were with the side Mr Graham represented he was entitled of a fair hearing, which he (Mr Sharp) was sure would be accorded. At the dose of his address Mr Graham would be pleased to answer any questions put to him from the platform. As chairman, he would not accept any anonymous questions, as he did not think it fair to the speaker. If anyone had a fair question to put, let him come forward and put it on the platform. (Applause.) He then called upon Mr Graham to deliver his address.

Mr Graham on rising was received with applause, on the abatement of which he expressed his sincere thanks to the large page 2 number who had attended so punctually to hear him, for the cordial reception given him, and to the Chairman. Continuing he said that since he had announced his intention to speak that evening one of the greatest calamities the Colony had ever known had overtaken them. Such a calamity that it had drawn attention almost wholly away from political subjects. Since the occurrence he had been engaged with other gentlemen doing what only could be done to assuage the distressful condition of those bereaved, and he had that day done a hard day's work, so that he would ask their consideration if he was not up to the mark physically, for what he said he asked no more consideration than they deemed right.
