William Robinson, ex-M.P.P., who i§ in his eightvseventh year, was down town on Wednesday to get some point- ers on the political situation, and 'also to view the permanent road construction. Beyond being a little weak in the legs, Mr. Robinson is otherwise in good health. Mr. Robinson thinks that Canada [would be quite safe in arranging a little reciprocity with the United States. He says that when Sir John A. Macdonald, the king of conserva tives, made reciprocity a plank in his platform in 159], the present genera- tion need not be at all afraid. The | grits now, he says, are simply offering ithe people what the tories tried to [get years ago, but failed. Fo "This talk of annexation "is all | rubbish," declared the veteran politi- |ciam. " can. tell you something about { annexation, and it was not the libe' jrals who suggested it either.

Three from every con- stitueney--attented,; ant the meeting was held in the present Ontario hall, in the city buildings. At that tory | meeting, the large majority of the re presentatives spoke in favor of an ts 10 the United States. I was lin the hall and heard the speeches, land was disgusted.
