Tliu.s it will lie seen that Mr. Whitney has some real work cutout for him in the near future work which lits I een lU- layed too long work for Ihe neglect of which the Ontario Government has been taken se/erely to tank by the people of this province, who think Mr. Whitney ba.s been even too patient and long suffer- ing in his leinpori/.iiig with the small efforvcKCeiit element which would try to lead us 'til by tho nose with its cty of persecution.
