A TEETOTAL WRANGLE.

United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph. Stbatjtobd, June 17 Rev. F. W. lsifct, prohibition advocate, had a lively meeting last night. He challenged Mr Symes, member for the district, by an advertisement appearing the same evening and a letter tho previous day, ! to meet him on the platform and substantiate | the statements made at Waitara by Mr i Byrnes, in reply to an attack made on Mr Byrnes by Mr T. E. Taylor at the same placet Because Mr Symes did not respond, at the close of bis speech Mr laitb made a violent attack on Mr Symes, branding him m a coward, and defending Mr Taylor as • friend pf many years standing. At this stage Mr E. G. AlUworth went on the platform, and said Mr Byrnes had been his friend for twenty-years, and wai in capable of a dishonorable action. He de fended Mr Byrnes, and said he had been first attacked in an unwarrantable manner by Mr Taylor. .He claimed that both the members of Parliament should be allowed to settle their differences in the House," and protested against Mr Isifct's interference. Mr leitt defended his action. There was , considerable interruption at times, and the proceedings were finally closed with a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding.
