Hee not looked until November at least. look for it hen, but it come off, No one appeared to know just when this election would be held fhe prime minister himself, did not yet know as to when it would be in the best joleresis 81 the people, to oall for an election. One thing was dertain, and that was that it would not be until November, There was no need to select a egndidate right away, and he would suggest that this mat ter be left with the committes, with instructions for that body, to take into their consideration, the calling of a meeting for the purpose of select ing a eandidate, in due time. The conservatives, the speaker said, were not a happy family, at the pre gent time. They were fighting amon themuelves, He urged that the best candidates be secured, and that there be strong efforts put forth for organs imation. The independent vote, which had turned to the conservative side, flow turned in favor of the liberals, and this would be sulficiont to turn the Whithey government out. Mr. Bor: den had started owt with a great flourish of teumpets, with a platform of some eleven planks, but now all these had been dropped, and the polis ey of scandal and slander had heen taken up. It had been found to work out good with the Ross government, andit 'was considered that it would work the samp way with the Domin- ion government.,!| There had been found no grounds to substantiate the insinuations made. The recent sean duals had been brought on with the idea of an investigation not being held before the elections. Those who had voted for the cleaning of the ship of state, and had voted the Whit. fey govergment to power, were now ready, and very enthusiastic to turn the Whithey government out "There will be two elections to light under the executive you select today." said Mr. Mowat, "and your chances By care , and them on fully regarding the men you select then after yon have them, give your loyal support." Me. Mowat reviewed the political is sues in a very aeltresting manner, and on taking his seat wos loudly ap planded, Pr. Richardson was asked to speak and responded in a most fitting wan. nor, He remarked that the reformers of Frontenac had wen carrying an honoralile banner, and that banner had been oarvied by honorable mea. Tri bute was pakd the retiving president of the assaciation for his good work Now officers were about to be elected and the speaker would urge that the men selected be men of honor and in togrity. 'There was no reason why the reformers should not have repre sentatives in both houses of parlia. ment. Theres were some people who had not yet had their eyes opened, bit they would soon see.

The preacher said that these were used on the day Uhrist was eru ecified, It was a great event to the citizens' when three criminals were to be executed together. 'They saw only three criminals, not the greatest tra gedy of the world, After the prison. ers had been nailed te the cross the Roman soldiers formed a cirvle around them, and sitting down. watched them there, "Thix seems un very cold blooded statement," said Dr. Smith, "Phey sat down thers perfectly indiffer ent as to what happened to thos dying on the cross."
