Mr. Metalie, who for.ed his party to accept him, whowe personal friends at the party convention were numer: ous enough to decide that there should be a candidate in the bye-elee tion, i< in a joyful mood. He toll the electors yesterday that hey ought to be thankful, because. on his account, because of his aspira- tions and actions, they had the diver sions of the day, the. holiday, the musi:, and the splendid address of Mr. Fraser, the address, hy the way which, in fulfilment of Mr. Mctealie's prophecy, was interesting, inspiring and instructive. The conservative candidate is very like the Mclean, who, faiing to find y Toronto a man who was disposed to treat public issues from his stand: point, became 9 mioyoralty candidate. He was defeated, buried under such a pile of adverse ballots that no one expected to hear from him again. Yet he bobs up serendly to observe that his was a moral victory, that he is well pleased with everything, and that the people gave a splendid recognition to his political gosepl. It is pleasant to reflect that Metealie regards himself as a public entertainer, that be is out for the Ji.e sions of the campueign, and that, when it is over, he will be content with the fact that the people have' bad a good time. Mr. THE DICTATOR QUESTION. Mr. Metcalfe struck a singularly un- happy question when, in his nomina- ticn address, he persisted in saying that Hon. Mr. Harty had manipulat- ed his party so that he could get its nomination, It is not out of the me- mory of many electors that Mr. Met calfe has all along regarded himseli as the maw of destiny and that he has simply blufied his party into accept ing him. His first aspirations were nurtured under remarkable circumstances. He had been one of the boys, and pos- sessed the social qualities that made him very popular, but no one thought of him as a political possibility and he astonished his friends when he announced himself as a candidate for the local house. He was a conserva- tive, and was willing to be the con- servative candidate, but whether the nominating convention preferred him or not he would be a suppliant for the people's sufirages. And thereiors he began his canvass, and he had the city pretty well covered when the convegtion met and endorsed him--be- cause" there was nothing else to do. Again Mr. Metealie displayed his domination when he began the cen- vass for the present vacancy in the commons. He decided that he was the man for the obeasion, that he wanted the occupation it afford: ed more than any one, and that none had more time than he for the ser- vice. So he began his canvass, and he told the electors at the Ontario hall that he was there in fulfilment of the promise, that if spared uniil the 8th he would be their candidate, The promise was made long before the nominating convention met, and it became, therefore; a mere machine for the registration of his will. With these facts before the people they can judge of the situation and de:ide upon the value of party momi- nations. Hon. Mr. Harty was offered his; Mr. Metcalfe did not wait for bis. He recommended himself, and it is for the electors to decide next weik, what they think of his act. THE MAN WE WANT. "Give Mr. Metonlie a lift," says the paper which is bis special champion in this campaign. "When he wae prosperous and had influence he helped all classes of citizens." Now there is po denying that Mr. Metcalfe is gon: erously cisposed. He does not value money. and so has made no preten- tion to accumulate or horde the sums that he bas earned. But the idea is presented that because of his prodi- gality the electors should send him to will be faithful 'to the city in the fed eral house, . What the city wants at the present time is a man in Ottawa who will give it a lift. The batteries can only remain here, for instance, by suitable accommodation being provided them. Who will be most instrumental in get- ting this, a supporter of the govern: ment or an opponept of it? So with other things, other wants, that may arise from time to time. Mr. Met calie, if member for Kingston, could ad- vocate them, but he belongs to a par ty which, when it was in power, made known the fact that its friends had the greatest pull with its government. That fact ought to be as pointed now, and Mr. Metcalfe ought to be the first one to admit it. ------ EDITORIAL NOTES. The noisy ones were out in force, and in support of Mr. Metcalfe, at the nomination meeting. But noise will not carry the election. -- Ottawa is going to try a muni ipal telephone system. Without a connec tion with she long ditance wires how is it going to be a success ? -- . So many accidents are occurring to horses in New York on the slippery sidewalks that it is proposed to pro- vide them with rubber overghoes, What next? C. Pepper, a graduate of the Whig office, and labour candidate in Ot tawa, has been elected to the council. He'll be heard from there, and to some purpose. The Montreal Witness demands the withdrawal of the vile-smelling, dis sense spreading 81 dominion notes. There wil be a very general rence in the cry. Isaac Waterman, formerly of the Imperial oil company which did busi- ness here, has been elected an hospital trustee. The sick have a friend Ike. His heart warms very much wards them. concur- in to- If some of the aldermen whom Ot- tawa has elected look anything like their pictures they will not be enter- ed in a beauty show. Of course they are handsome men who handsome do. That may redeem them. A contemporary says Mr. Harty has been highly honored and that it is time he stepped out of the way. Hasn't Mr. Metcalfe had his share of public honors. Why should he mon- opolize a seat in parliament ? Bob. Bermingham, who scrapped with Sir Charles Tupper. and disap- peared as a political organizer, is in evidence again. He was one of the men behind Mr. Howland in his late collision with Mr. MacLean. Of course, the C.M.G., will remember him. "It is time for a change in the city's parliamentary representation," says a contemporary. The change is unavoidable. There is a vacancy in the commons, and the man to fill it is Hon. Mr. Harty. The people will give him their commission on the 15th. Some men say things in the heat of the moment, in political excitement, and {ail to remember them. Thus May- or Howland denied that he used the words '"'aristocracy of labour,". 4 though several reporters heard and reported it. The denial implied that there was something to be ashamed of. Tt is a compliment to Canada that Mr. Asquith, one of England's fore most public men, points to it for a model of colonial government. As the French and English pull together here so Mr. Asquith thinks the British and Boers should pull together in South Africa. The Franco phobes will not, of course, be pleased to hear that. The point of Mr. Fraser's address yesterday was that in York, when corrupt politics prevailed! the liberal candidate won by seventy votes. When, by agreement between the can- didates, a pure election--as pure as it is possible to have one--occurred the spe libgral candidate had SI7 ma: THE DAILY WHIG, wo. THURSDAY, JANUARY 9. EE NOMINATIONS AT YARKER.| FOR THE COMING CONTEST IN ADDINGTON. The First Time Nominations Were Held in the Village--Addresses At the Public Meeting Were Quite Interesting. Special' 0 the W Yarker, ag: 8.--To-day was the first time that a parliamentary now- | nation was ever held at Yarker, and the village was perhaps never beter filled wit: tative men from all | parts of Ae electoral division. There is, in all, forty-nine electoral polling sub-divi-dons in the county and it i» safe to spy that nearly every ome of them was represented in the village to-day. It was filled to overflowing. Horses and sleighs had to find refuge under the church sheds and in every shed and yard available, and the rail- way trains from every section of the county came in with an unusually large number of passengers. It was also a very intelligent and well-be haved crowd, with very little drink- i and boisterousness. . 8S. O'Loughlin is the returning officer, and a very courteous officer he makes, This is his first experience in the capacity. He received the nomina- tions in hiv own office and it was all dope in a very quiet and orderly way. Of course, under the present system, there was no crowd or speech making in connection with the legal nomina- tions. There was, however, a very large and respectable meeting in the public hall, which was filled to its fullest capacity, and many were not able to get in at all. AN Benjamin, one of "the well known citizens here, acted as the chairman and did his duties in avery impartial and efficient manner. The public speaking lasted from about one o'clock until it began to grow dark in the hall. The hearing throughout was excellent and the interest goed. It is seldom at any such meeting that as apparently an intelligent and well to-do class of electors are present. There was nothing to disturb the op der or mar the harmony of the mect ing from first to last. The speaking was entirely confimed to the - two candidates," Melzer Avery, conservative, of Sharbot Lake, and Franklin Secord Wartman, of Cole brook, 'and their respective cham- pions, Mr. Brodier, M.P., of Dundas county, a conservative organizer, and Mr. Guthrie, M.P., for South Welling- ton. Mr. Avery lead off in a clearly ex- pressed and comprehensive speech, in which he referred concisely to the claims of his party and to his own business and municipal experience, which has covered the past fifteen or twenty years. He was well received, and - he and his friends appear very sanguine of success, Mr. Wartman has public experience, but he is a fluent and popular speaker. He created an excel"ent impression and got a very respectiul bearing. He proved himself familiar with the Questions of the day. He is not without previous pub- lie experience, having been the unsuc cessful candidate for the representa- tion: of Addington in the last general provincial election. His friends ap pear to feel very confident of his suc- cess in this contest. It looks as though each candidate will poll ' the full strength of his party in the pend- ing contest. r. Broder spoke an hour and kept well the interest of his audience. He is not a polished speaker, but seems a capital stump campaigner, with a good supply of mother wit and sar casm. He is well posted and brings out the weak points of "the other fel- Jows," with most telling efiect. Mr. Guthrie is yet a comparatively young man, but he is a most efficient campaign speaker. He is well educa- ted, well posted in political affairs and has a very commending resonant voice. He makes the best possible vin- dication of the policy of the goverd ment, and éreated a splendid impres sion with his audience. It is safe to say few men could have inspired bis party friends with more zeal and greater determination. On the whole, both parties appear- ed to go from the meeting full of zeal for the contest. Of course there was no division of sides among the crowd, but judging from the cheering and enthusiasm manifested; the audi- ence was pretty evenly divided. The following were among some of the well-known gentlemen an the plat- form : , Messrs. Guthrie, Guelph; Bor den, M.P., Morrishurgh; Jefiries, Guelph; James Reid, M.P.P. for Ad dington: G. Anson Aylsworth, liberal candidate for the Ontario legislature for Addington: J. R. Fraser, presi dent conservative association, and Rose, secretary; v A. Martin, late literal candidate; P.

Reninmis Yarker, and a score or so of other gentlemen prominent in their respective parties and in business cin les throughout the county.
