The Provincial Elections. In less than a month from now the Provincial elections will be over, for the nominations are to take place on Tuesday, the 22nd inst, and polling one week laterâ€"the lst of March. In the great majority of constituencies candi- dates have already been chosen, and in the remaining few it is no doubt known who they will be, though their names have not yet been announced, and can- vassing has been going on merrily throughout the length and breadth of the PrOvince for some weeks past. The two candidates in East Victoria are J. H. Carnegie, Conservative, and John Austin, Liberal; in West Victoria Sam- uel J. Fox, Conservative, and Dr. Mc- Kay, Liberal. Mr. Carnegie and Dr. McKay are the present representatives of their respective ridings, and the doc- tor’s re-election is looked upon as a fore- gone conclusion; but. in the East a change is more than probable. Mr. Carnegie is a very nice manâ€"there’s no doubt about thatâ€"with “ nothing agin him” except his politics, but his opponent, Mr. Austin, is more widely known throughout the riding, is as well liked by those who get acquainted with him, and is a stirring business man in- 'stcad of a gentleman farmer, with fully as much knowledge of the questions of the day as Mr. Carnegie, and as well able to express himself on matters that come up for discussion. At the many meetings already held by Mr. Austin he has made an excellent impression up- on his hcarcrs and has received the most satisfactory assurances of support; but it is to be hoped that the confidence inspired by these assurances will not induce his friends to relax their efforts in his behalf. If he should succeed in redeeming the riding it will only be by persistent hard work, and the determin- ation of his opponents to defeat him by any disreputable means is evidenced by the fact that a dirty and foundationless insinuation with regard to his orthdoxy has already been set afloat out north ; and we are told that Liberals are being asked to sacrifice their political princi- ples and vote for Mr. Carnegie simply because he is a Sunday School superin- tendent and ofliciatcs occasionally as a lay preacher! Between the two candi- dates in the riding there is probably no very great difference as regards their fit ncss to represent it in the Local Legis- lature; but Mr. Carnegie is opposed to the present Government and M r. Austin will support it. Ontario has been un- der Reform rule for well night a quar- ter of a century, and no good or valid reason why a change should be be made has been given. The substitution of )1 r. Hardy for Sir Oliver Mowat as Premier has made no change whatever in the policy of the Government, and that policy has been endorsed by the people of the Province at election after election. as we believe it will be on the 1st of March. The worst faults charg- ed against the Administration by its enemies are but “spots on the sun." and about all M r. Whitney, the leader of the Opposition. had to say at the puny lic meclim: he addressed in Fcnclon Falls was that he thought the Conserv- atives, if in power in Ontario, could do a little better for the people than the Liberals were doing; but the record of the former at Ottawa was not such to lead the electors to take Mr. Whitney’s view, and his meeting was admitted to be the flattest and most unsatisfactory to Conservatives ever held in this vil- lage. That Mr. Hardy will be sustain- ed we believe but few well-informed Conservatives doubt, and we have a strong belief, amounting almost to a conviction, that Mr. Austin will be one of his followers at the next meeting of the Local Legislature. This opinion i is not confined to Liberals, for the other day we heard a prominent Conservative. School Reports. Second division, north ward. Junior fourth class. Geography and history.

The first goal was scored by the home team in two minutes, and they continued to pile up the score until at the end of the first half they had eleven goals to their credit, while the Lindsay boys had only scored one. In the second half the vis- itors plnycd asbettcr game, and as a re- sult obtained 3 more goals; the local team adding five more to their number. The Lindsay boys showed themselch active and skilful, but they were not a match for the home team. who seemed to know where to be and what to do just at the right time. The game throughout was characterised by the most gentlcmanly playing possible. The following are the teams: ' Fcnclon Falls. Lindsay. Graham.... . .Goal. .'...Lennon.

The Fcnclon Falls hockey club wish to thank their supporters, both ladies and gentlemen. for the large turn out, and will do their best to give them no reason to regret the inter- est taken. After the match both teams wont to Joncs’s restaurant, where a sumptuous oyster supper was partakcn of, after which the visitors drove home. An account in the Post says : “ The rink is long but very narrow, and un- suitable for playing a good cOxnbination game. The teams were evenly matched. and for a short time a good game was put up, but as time wore on tho Fenc- lon team began playing roughly and a couple of the Lindsay boys were in- jured. The umpires were very unjust, awarding goals to the Fcnclon team when the puck did not land within two feet of their goal. The score stood 9 to 4 in favor of the Falls.” A couple of winters ago an L. C. I. team found this rink wide enough to play a good combination game on, and defeated the hmne team quite notice- ably, and on Friday night the Fcnclon seven did some very effective combina- tion work,‘ but probably the visitors didn't see it. As regards Lindsay players being injured, it is only neces- sary to point out that when half-time was called Lindsay had scored one goal. while in the second half, after time had worn on and after they had been in- jured, they scored three goals. There- fore, if time had worn on some more and they had all been injured, they Would have won the match. Of course the thing may be explained by assuming that the Lindsayitcs were slumbcrin.’ so soundly that it was not until they had been severely pounded that they' woke up, and, being awakened, scored more frequently, but it is not likely they wish to have it thus explained. All goals claimed were honestly made. If the Lindsay hockeyists want to count out every goal that was scored so quickly that they never caught sight of the puck after the lllCC‘OlI‘, why then 9 to 4, may be corrccr, but not other- wise. We are sorry that time wore on, for we would have liked to have sccn the visitors do better; but as a matter of fact time has to wear something those cold days. We hope that the weather may be milder next Friday night. when the return match is to be played at Lindsay.
