Mr. Ilowell Las succeeded in forming a ministry, which is largely made up of old material, the two new members being Dr. Montague and Hon. A. K. Dickey. Sir C. H. Tup- per ii the ne<v Minister of Justice and Mr. Dick-y Secretary of State. Arternettia is not likely to have a general diction this time, mi- less some dark horse should trot into the ring for the reeveship between now sod nomination day, which is not at all likely. As the matter stands there is likely to be an election in but two wards. Mr. Thompson will be opposed by Mr. 8. Pedlar, of Eugenia, and Mr. Beat by Mr. John lioyd, whose card appears in this issue. There was some talk of Mr. Hells having opposition, but nothing definite has reached as. The Toronto Empire is no larger a government organ. It has been taken over by a company of business men and will be run more in ilie in- tertfkt of business and less ot polities. It will still, however, uphold the Concervative policy. Hut we fear lhat this support will only be accord- ed while the policy of the party con- tinues to cater to the manufacturer aud the interests of the directors. If they are sufficiently magnaminons to allow it free scope in advocating the welfare of the majority it will be an agreeable surprise, but we confess lhat at the present moment our faith is considerably Rliaken in the Empire's ability to advance the best interests of the manses when certain selfish in- U-resis are involved. At the same nun-, the influence behind it will, we foat.Uiuil to weaken its prestige either for good or bad. of limns:- id* of copies have buen pub- lisliixl ami told.
