Or It May be Referred to the Chief Justice of Ontario For an Opinion, Toronto, Feb. 9.--Premier Drury and his followers have had some trouble figuring out who will be the oflicial leader of Hig Majesty's Royal Opposition in the Ontario Logis lature.

The Liberal leader believes he: has a title to the position, and the' $5,000 that goes with it, together with the $2,000 salary which is voted for his secretary, He has been oe¢- cupying the office of the leader of the Opposition at the parliament buildings, and has already applied, it is sald, for the salary for his secre- tary, in order that the stipend may be paid monthly, | The Government may abolish ihe $5,000 salary that goes with the Op- position leader's position, so that nobody's feelings may be hurt.

Bome of those concerned in the appointment say that it is a matter of law and that the speaker is not called, upon to decide the question. Meanwhile, however, Hon. G.
