In' that time, the ordinary expenditures had grown until they reached $21,464, 574, a sum four times as great as thoy were when the Liberals handed over to them the affairs of the prov- ince. The provincial debt had shown an even greater increase, and stood at $97,572,671, nearly nine times as much as when the Liberals were in power. These figures show that the Con- servatives are also faced with a re- cord of extravagant spending which ill fits them to take over the reins of government at the present time. They accuse the U.F.0. of being extrava- gant, butsthey shut their eyes to their own unenviable record.

Nickle's return by ac- clamation, as member for Kingston, may be desorbed as round one in the provincial election contest, the main bout of which will take place on Monday, -June 25th. Mr. Nickle times over, but it could not be said that the prosperity qf the people of Ontario was nine times greater than under the Liberal government. Sinca 1905 there has been an absolute de- parture from those wise finsncial policies which marked the thirty-four years of Liberal government, and which are needed above everything else in Ontario ai the present time. The electors can face with confidence the future with a Liberal governmeat in power, but the revord of the Con- to office eéhld give the people mo 'hope of any betterment in conditions, financial or otherwise.

They pre- ferred to husband their stréfigth against the coming of a federal elec- tion. which they believed to be much nearer than most people imagine. Re- presentation at Ottawa is much more important than representation at Toronto, at least as far as this city is concerned. Whether this viewpoint is right or wrong, the Whig is not called upon to debate; sufficient to say that it prevailed and was, in large part, responsible for the acclamation now tendered to Mr. Nickie. Apparently local Libar- als are hard to please 'when it es to endorsing a candidate; th are many factors that divide and less that unite. It has been many a year since a more largely attended or more enthusiastic gathering of lo- cal Liberals has been held than that which tendered 'the nomination to the president of the women's Liboral association.

Though death was the sentence for theft, excommunication was incur- red by any person daring to arrest thieves within the abbey. Indeed, the debtor found safe refuge in Holy- rood House and its precinots until late in the 17th century. But this sanctuary did not protect everyone. Crown debtors codld be seized.

Ther: are royal apartments, of course, at Holyrood, more habitable than those of Queen Mary, but the public rarely sees the morlera saite which is scarcely cver used. Ever since James I, left Scotland to ascend the throne of England, and London, not Edinburgh, became the capital city of the Stuarts, Holyrood has been neglected by roy2ity. Charles 11. visited it as little as he could, and the Geurges scarcaly went near it. Prince Charlie stayed there dur- ing his brief triumph of 1743. George IV. was recelved there in 1822. Gueen Victoria and the Prince Con- sort occupied the palace on several icccasions, King Edward, while stay- ing at Dalkeith Palace in 1903, held court at Holyrood, and King George and Qu2en Mary have beem visitors there more than once.
