Meanwhile Mr, Ross is suffering from the revival of elitorial opinions which 4 sounded: nice enough while be posed as an independent, but which are not very palatable now when he is a purty candidate. The result is not | unicortain. Ottawa' will elect two libe- fals--~that is a foregone conclusion -- Jand Mr. Ross will have a gain of one from that ety.

Later, in Peterboro, he admitted that the government's ad- ministration of the license law had been satisfactory. Now he in convinced that no good can . be expected from 8 change of government. Speaking in the Trinity Methodist church, Toronto, he said: "There never was a greater politi, cal mix-up for an elector to pick his: way through than that which now ex- inte' said Dr, Chown, "In order to cat support one party says the gov- ernment should be turned out of office id for the Algoma stern dairy school, experiments, to the Poultry Asso x {Journal, 1897).

A change of govern ment does not mean anything unless that the now government-has in view! such measures as will better the poli- tical 'conditions, and these measures have not yet been brought to the sur- | face. The other party says we must drop the dentral organization and or- ganize the constituencies to fight against corruption, but that plan is feeble, too." The conclusion is clear, The govern ment of Mr. Ross should be sustain- ed. Jt has been tried, and it has not all that has been said by the opposi- tion. Mr. Ross may not have accom: plished all he contemplated, but Mr. INSULTS TO THE STUDENTS. Mon. Times, have bemoaned the alleged ap: suppcried a government that been good to the institution. These papers are not very particular, had students of Queen's College having |v in the election are very numer- oud. 'They represent a constituency in themaclves. They arranged for a public meeting, in Convocation hall, and asked Mr. Meclntyre and Mr. Pense to it. The discussion of the, g covered pretty well the sub jects which age engaging the people's tenti Both lidates dealt with ' i po await the developmen) of | educational questions. These ocoupy a (ic his large place in the attention of the stu- dent yoters, One candidate, the liberal, referred to what the government had The matter could not be touched at Queen's and to the consideration it re- | ceived from the government. The other <mndidate, the conservative, referred to Lis identification with the univer sity, as a student and a trustee, to his admiration for the late Principal Grant, and to the attitude of Me. Whitney and his party towards the institution. They, if given the oppor tunity, would do as much as Mr. Ross and his government. The one disagreeable evidence of the occasion--which the Gazette and Times do not deplore--~was the charge hy Mr, Mclngyre, that the Ross govern. went had not redeemod its promise with regard to the school ol forestry. | It was an unfortunate slip, and it ! brought from Mr. Pense- the informa- tion that the government had changed its plans at the spe@al solicitation of the college principal, and that it more than made Gp to Queen's what it withheld, by request, from the school | of forestry, It is this correction of a campaign slander by the liberal candidate which hat been distorted into "a personal held out in a "sordid, mercenary way' to the students, and that contributes, in the mind 'of the the | Brockville Times, * to political huck- stering and shady records! We trust the students of Queen's will appreciate there insults of the tory press, ---------- -- Among the seats that are likely to be woh by the liberals are two in Ot' tawa, North = Essex, South Oxiord, Lennox, 'Algoma, Centro Bruce, South Waterloo, one in Hamilton, and North Ontario. There will be losses to part: ly offset this, no doubt, such seats ws Halton, North Wentworth, North La- | nark and Centre Simcoe, held in the | doubthl class. In each of these, how- who are leaving no stone unturned in order to win success, ------------ tt Dr. Chown is not disposed to en. dorse Mr. Whitney and Is professions' of goodness.

But in the list' beredith 'submitted it can hardly be denie that all the acts were in the public ipterest and Mr. Whitney voted against them all. Dr. Ryan should make & 'note of this, EDITORIAL NOTES. Hon. Mr. Gibson is still very: ill at his bome in Hamilton, and so unable constituents.

In Prescott cofinty there is a con- test, but it is beiween two liberals. The conservatives have not a candi date in the field. ---- What is the resolution which Mr, Gallagher moved in the legislature, and in the interest of the county? The people ought to know. In North Oxford. Mr. Butler is pos ing as an independent. He has had, however, the help ahd advice of Gamey. That ought to settle it. Mr. Whitney is telling his friends that he is going to win. What ridings or constituencies iy he going to re deem ? Let us get down to details. There is a man in Uolorado who cast forty ballots in the late state election. That's 'the men the tories want. He is better than the Bufialo thugs. : . Mr. Mcintyre in refetring to the dis: tinguished men who had represented Frontenac omitted, purposely it would seem, Mr. Smith and Mr. Gallagher. Why ?

The Montreal Gazette does not like the taxation of rich corporations, jt appears. "The people own the cor- porations," it remarks. Yes? Or do the 'corporations. own the people ? The voters in the county cannot he enlightened by the personalities which are discussed at the public meetings. The disorder at the Cataraqui nomi- nation left a very bad impression. Rev. Nr. Hossack's elders say that he is at liberty to write 16" the press on 'political questions, but they do not commit themselves to his views. A testimonial like that is not handed out every day. Mr. Whitney would net let his op- ponent speak first and reply to him, so the electors divided and each par- ty had a meeting by itself in Morris- lrg. The leader of the opposition was not very magnanimous, This piling up of books oy the table and looking at them ominously will not deceive any one. He is a rare man one who can find what he wants in a hurry, and no one iz blufied into sil- ence by the sight of his literature. "Fancy électing Charles Calder! in South Ontario, Dr. Nesbitt in Narth Toronto, or Gamey in Manitoulin in obder to put down corruption," de- clared Mr. Dryden, amid cheers, at Whitby last evening. * Aye, just fancy. ---- J. Lockie Wilson, at Mount Rrydges, referred to Mr. Ross as one who cov- ered up ugly political scars--and he was shut up at oncé by the indignant protests and hisses of the audience, Lockie was more gentle in his lan- guage 'after that: ° > Andrew Miscamphell, unscated be cause of gross election frauds and now Mr, Whitney's organiser, jis to have a place in that gentleman's cabi- net (if ever he has one.) This is Mr. Whitney's method of fighting the "saturnalia of corruption." J. Lockie Wilson, cornercd at Mount Brydges and forced to give an opinion upon the North Renfrew clection, said: "Dunlop's elcetiop. was not clean. He spent money illegally, and I. believe that the conservative party has spent money illegally." The first" and only confession of the kind.
