The nomination of candidates for 'lit representation of Kust Grey in : he Local Legislature, took place in the Town Hall, Flesherton. on Tues- day last. There was ajargc atten- dance of electors, notwithstanding the ick-mency of the weather. As nearly ' we could gather the following ntlemcn were nominated : Messrs. Neil McColman, Robert Myles, John i ameron, .1. J. Middleton. and Win. I irown ; all of whom withdrew except .'ic first two named. The speechifying by the various i.didiitcs and movers and seconders. oiuuienced at Sl:80 p. in., with Mr. He referred to I>r. Kproule, the worthy and talented M.

Hours of laughter.) Mr. Br.nvii is a good platform speaker, but i lie borrows too many of bis ideas from the extreme paity papers, and is there- t'oic prejudiced in a great measure again.-! everything bearing the name Conservative. Mr. Neil McColman, the Liberal Conservative candidate next address, d the electors. He rcpl i. d to Mr. Middleton very forcibly, in that tmiet, humorous vein so peculiar to him. He defended the stand taken hy Mr. Koike as to the responsibility of Reeves of Townships. He had been thirty-six years a resident of Colling- wood Township, and during all that time had adhered firmly to rhc principles of the Liberal Conservative party. Ho had grown up in their midst, mid felt sure lie knew the wants of the people of East Grey well enough to enable him to repre- sent them t. 1 1 hi 'illy in the Ontario Legislature. He spoke of the Streams Dill, the Itaundary Award, and other important questions alluded to by '.s.
