Excerpt from Address of the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie to the Toronto Workingmen on the "National Policy" The magnificent demonstration held on the evening of May 30, in the Adelaide street Skating Rink was a creditable one to those who initiated and organized it, as it was complimentary in the atruest and most genuine sense to the Minister in whose honour it took place. The success of the affair was complete, and only rendered all the more striking and unquestionable by the futile, though none the less dis graceful, efi'orts to interrupt the proceedings by a small but evidently organized band of Tory emissaries. Nearly tickets had been distributed up to six o'clock, and soon after that hour the audience began to arrive. The issue of forged tickets of admission had warned the Committee of possible attempts to create disorder, and strong barriers were erected at the entrance of the rink ln order to facilitate a scrutiny as the ticket-holders entered. This checked to some extent the rapid filling of the hall, but nevertheless by a. Quarter past seven. There must have been fully persons in the building. As eight o'clock drew near the available space rapidly became occu pied, and a more respectable and intelligent audience never awaited the arrival of the speaker of the day. The majority were plainly members of the artisan class, but every grade of the citizens was well represented. City merchants, bankers, lawyers, ministers of religion were there in numbers, many well known faces appearing in the densely packed crowd in front of and around the platform. The meeting of 'the Press Association had also brought several country journalists to the city, and. Given them the opportunity'of listening to and enjoying the Premier's admirable address. There were three brass bands present, and the music they dispensed helped to enliven the proceedings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
