Bushell has receiVyd a let. ter from W. J. Carter, of" Carter Bros., hardware merchants, Picton, in which he is warmly congratulated on the success of the Industrial fair. "There is one thing sure," says the writer, "if you had not taken hold of the show when ypu did it would have been defunct long before this, and why on earth the City of Kingston and the County of Fron- tenac does not get behind such a "live wire' as yourself is utterly be- yond me. The merchants of Kings- ton must be short.visioned or they would see what a great thing it would be for Kingston to have a would scee what a great thing it ete, so that you could have a week's fair, having one day an American day, bringing over an American band and an excursion from the other side.

E | Lettrsto he Editor | How to Get a Candidate, 1 Kingston, Oct. 26.-- (To the Edi. tor): A number of citizens have at- tempted, so far without apparent success to nominate a candidate who should carry the "win-the-war'" ban- per in the forthcoming elections in Kingston. It seems to me that a practicable way of solving the prob- lem would be for these citizens to meet with the executives of the three political parties and seek with them to agree upon a candidate who should be the unanimous choice of all shades of political opinion in King- ston. If because of«party differences no agreement can be reached in this way, then the Mayor t call a public meeting of all the citizens who are prepared to support the Union Government and at this meet- ing the citizens who have endeavour- ed to replace party strife by mutual agreement on a" win-the-war" can- didate might present a full report of their efforts and submit the names of one or more candidates for the selection and' approval of 'the meet- ing. A candidate nominated at such a meeting would have perfect right to call himself the candidate of the "win-the-war"" forces in Kingston and to claim the pupport of the Union Government in Ottawa. Mr. Nickle might conceivably be the nom- inee of such a public gathering of the citizens, but until he is so nomin- ated he can not offer himself as the "win-the-war" candidate for King- ston and that 1 take it, is what he Chambers, FAY DAVENPORT With the musical farce "Henpecked Henry" at the Grand Opera House, Sat- urday, Oct. 27th, matinee and night STOUR MARKETS, Quotations Furnished by Nongard, Ryerson & Co., 44 Clarence St,, floward 8.

Cobalt, Ont.,, Oct. 26.--In the course of an address here - Hon, Frank Cochrane, nominated as win- the-war ¢andidate tor Temiskaming. said that the use of the flotation process in Cobalt mines was very important, and mining operators had called the attention of the Gov- ernment to _disclosures regarding the ownership of the patents. 3 understand that the flotation pat- ents are still controlled by Germans in New York, and they are demand ing such a royalty on the process that the mines in this country can: not use it," said Mr. Cochrane. "It bwill be my business to see Sir Rob- ert Borden on this question whea 1 return to Ottawa, with a view to bringing the patent owners to their senses and try to get him to cancel these patents for the benefit of the mining community. "We must, however, be fair in the matter, for I believe in being fair even to an enemy alien, and the minest must be prepared to pay a fair royalty if it is proven that the patent owners were not German controlled." Hon. Mr, Cochrane asked the -- mine operators to ' submit to the Government what would be a fair and reasunable charge for the use of the process if it were decided that the patents should not be annulled."
