Go to the polls on Tuesday and vote for John Austin. The Hardy Government is sure to be sustained, and we want to send it a supporter from East Victoria. EAST VICTORle NOMINATIONS. The nomination of candidates for the honor of representing East Victoria in the Local Legislature took place in Dicksori’s hall last Tuesday, Mr. E. C. . ‘sition members in the Provincial Legis- Young of Mindeu, the Returning Ofli- cer, presiding, supported on the right by Mr. Henry Graham of Kinmount, his election clerk. The proceedings were commenced at noon, according to law, and the nominations were as fol- lows : , Mr. John Austin of Kinmount; nom- inated by Mr. Thomas Robson of Fcne lon Falls and seconded by Mr. Alexan- der Ellis of Verulam. Mr. John H. Carnegie of Bexley; nominated by Mr. William McArthur and seconded by Mr. H. J. Lytle, both of Fenelou Falls. At the conclusion of the hour during which nominations can be made, a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Carne- gie, and the returning officer announced ' that it would be held on Tuesday next, March 1st, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m, and read a list of‘ the dil~ ferent polling places throughout the rid- ing and the names of the deputy return- ing ofiicers. There was not a very num- erous attendance of electors at the nom- inations, but at 1.30, the time appointed for the speaking to commence, the hall was about as full as it could be, and a few minutes later so many more persons had arrived that a little crowd clustered around the door vainly seeking admit- tance. It. had been arranged that Mr. Carnegie was to speak for three-quar- ters of' an hour and Mr. Austin for an hour, and that Mr. Carnegie should be allowed fifteen minutes in which to re- ply. M r. H. J. Lytle was called to the chair, which he filled to the satisfaction of everybody, and made a nice little speech, after which Mr. Carnegie took the floor and proceeded to do his best to lower the Ontario Government. in the estimation of his hearers. The game laws, the school laws, the price of'schOol books, the Provincial finances, duty on sawlogs, the cost of maintaining asylums, the number of officials, and the agriculâ€" tural college all came in for adverse crit- icism; but. he admitted that the college, being an educational inelitution, could not be expected to pay, though he thonght that, as regards the farm prop- er, there ought to be a better showing than there is. In the course of his speech .llr. Carnegie repeated what he 5 well congratulate through his different. charges, and mak- ceives $10,000 and the assismnt 87:000. ing a good many points that. were up- preciated and applauded by the large audience. )lr. Carnegie's term in Par- I liament, of course. gives him a greati advantage over an inexperienced oppon- ent, who has been too deeply immersed in business to make the necessary prep- aration for a political discussion; but. Mr. Austin made a speech highly credit- able to himself and pleasing to his sup- porters, who feel that if they succeed in electing him, of which they have scarce. lya doubt, East Victoria will have as creditable a representative as she now has, and one who will support, instead of opposing. a Government whose vir- tues are many and great and whose faults are few and insignificant. Mini Austin has a pleasant and sufficiently powerful voice and a good comm-ind of language, and, with experience and - practice, will be above the average as a public speaker. Some of his opponent’s statements hecould not answer for want of personal knowledge or available proof; others he could and did, and his address was not only exceedingly cred- itable for a novice, but was better and more efi‘ective than even his friends ex~ pected it would be. Mr. Carnegie again took the floor and used his allotted fifteen minutes adding a little to what he had said in his first speech ; after which cheers were given for the Queen and the can- didates, which terminated the proceed- ings. Ontario’s Labor-Laws. As in agriculture the Liberal Govern- ,ment of Ontario has recognized the' greatest industry of this country, and, by the establichment of the Department of Agriculture with a responsible Minâ€" ister at its head in the person of the Hon. John Dryden, a thorough, practi- cal f'armer possessing superior adminis- trative ability, has been able to wisely and economically assist those who are engaged in the various branches of farming, so its record as to labor legis- lation is regarded by competent author- ities as the most advanced and progres- sive of any self-governed country in the world. That well-known Conservative, Mr. E. F. Clark, M. P., and for years one of the most prominent of the Oppo- lature, speaking on the subject at Dun- duru Park, Hamilton, last labor day, said': “ In looking up the history of the Province for 25, years, the people might themselves on the strides that had been made. It was less than 25 years since Parliament ' Before 1872 it was an illegal thing to be a member of such organizations, but no man need now apologize for standing on the platform on behalf of organizul labor. The objects of organization were peaceful and progressive, and he was bound to give full credit to the Attorney General, Hon. A. S. llardy. and Hon. J. M. Gibson, for the efforts they had made during many years on its behalf. They have always been willing to accede to any reasonable demand of organized labor. As the combined effort of organized labor there had been placed upon the statute books a body of' legislation that is a credit to those who have enacted it and to those who have demanded it." W Salaries? iServanfs. Much ado is being made by the Opposition about the alleged overupay- ment of the public servants of the Province. A comparison between On- tario and other countries shows how unfair is such criticism. Cabinet Ministers : Victoria 810,000; South Australia $151000; Massachusetts $5.000; Ontario 84,000.

The Toronto Star says : " It is very evident to those in touch with the political organizations that in this campaign the Liberals are not flush with funds; they are carrying on the fight on the most economical basis. Where, then, are all the funds which the public has been told the Ministry collected from license holders, office holders, Michigan lumberman and cor. porations generally ? If ever the Gov- ernment party needed “ boodlo" it is now, but evidently it has none. The only possible conclusion is that the charges of‘ the Opposition shouters were simply falsehoods, and that the Governs ment had neither bled any person nor sold its honor. The absence of Liberal campaign money refutes the wild deo- laratious of the slanderers of the Gov. ernment. Are the people of Ontario prepared to believe these oft-repealed slanders. and thus declare that for 25 years they have kept in power a dishon‘ est. Government? Virtually the charges are a reflection upon the people of‘ the Province, for the same old slanders have been the cry in every campaign of the past, and yet the electorate has, time after time, expressed its confidence in the Ministry, and declared its disbelief in the charges. The people are not likely to stultify themselves this time."

We have always been of the opinion, and have frequently expressed it. that there is money in pork, and the follow- ing paragraph from. a recent issue of the Post is proof that pigs pay well when properly cared for: “Mr. John Christian, of Fenelou the Post when in town on Friday last, informed us that he recently disposed of a six months’ old litter of lifteen hogs, which averaged 206 lbs., at '50-. per lb. liveweight. As these pigs were fattencd on coarse food he realized a very handsome profit on the sale. At this price it is possible, from one good brood sow, to make a turn over of 8310‘ in one year, making a not profit for in advance of what can be cleared in any other branch of agricultural pursuits. The way Mr. Christian accomplishes such a quick growing and fattening process is that from their birth he keeps his hogs housed in clean, well ventilated pens, thus preventing than from losing flesh by rooting and run- ning about.” m The Fires. Last Saturday night a house in Ver- ulam, about five miles from the Falls, owned by Mrs. Burke of lleaboro and occupied by Mr. Alfred Inkpin, was totally destroyed by fire, together with all its contents but. an organ. a bureau and part of a bed. Mr. and Mrs. Ink- pin had gone to l’etcrhorough, and A] r. and Mrs. Moon, neighbors of Mr. Ink- pin's, were at his house taking charge of the children during the abs'nce'of' their parents. The cause of the fire is unknown, as it broke out about ten o'clock, after all the inmates had gone to bed, and some of them wore awaken- ed by the fall of the kitchen roof. The house, which was built of logs, was it ~’ story and a half high, and, as far as we can learn. Was uninsured, but Mr. Ink ' pin had 8200 on its contents. About It) o'clock on Tuesday night fire broke out in a story and a half frame house on Greene street, formerlv ow-ch by the late Henry Junkie, but «ta: 0 gm... ....,._. .... ._.-.._.._. . ... ___. fl“. .â€" ,._ .. .
