Mr. Ross was not only one of the best public speakers in Canada, but one of the wisest and most pru- dent legislators. = Although the Lib- erals had held power for many years, he: felt sure they would be again returned to power. Referring to the coming contest, he asked the LiLerals of the district, on their part, to con duct it in a clean and upright manner. Dr. Hamilton, who was warmly re- ceived, 'paid a high compliment to Mr. Cameron for his address. While the Liberal administration had always been progressive, yet it must be admitted that greater strides had been made un der the Ross adminstration than pre viously. He reviewed Mr. Ross' at-/ titude toward$ New Ontario, how it had been opened up by railways and colonization roads, been developed by bounties on iron and steel, export du- ties on saw-logs, and protection of ed- ucational institutions. "New Ontario" was coupled with the names of Jos. Murphy, C.E. Meads, A. E. Merton and P. McKen- zie, who each responded in suitable terms PER2ONAL.
