They I will go to Ottawa, Peterboro, Town- to. Hamilton. Stratiord, London and North Bay. When there were only Seven to be distributed among a large number of places which were desir- ous of receiving them. of course, they all could not expect to receive what they asked for. ‘Mr. S. J. Fox, M. P.P., ‘and Mr. J. l). FlaVelle. went to Toronto last week to present Lindsay's claims 'before Hon. Dr. Pyne, minister of education, who promised to cOnsider the request. and the claim they presented was just and reasonable. It is not pleasing to the people of Lindsay, nor to the people of Victoria County, that the.3 normal school is given to Peterhoro‘ in preference to Lindsay. Govern- ment patronage has poured into Pet- erboro county and city in large. pro- portion for years. from both Ottawa and Toronto houses. while Victoria county has been neglected. Peterbo- ro county to the north is similar to Victoria county north district, dcL nuded of its forest wealth, and the farms difficult to Work, and for the relief of the people the governments have helped them with grants and. built roads. bridges and other public! works. Nothing has been done of this character in Victoria. 0n the other hand the townships of this county haVe had to assist each oth~ er in equalizing the burdens of life and municipal necmzsity. In the Ross government the member -from Ifeterboro was an influential man. and succeeded in obtaining.r a large share of patmnagc .for his county.. and the tide of legislative favor has set in so strong towards Peterboro {that it seems the Whitney gov-ru- ‘ment. strong enough in most things. is not strong enough to divert this stream. It certainly missed an op-l port unity to do a just act to Victo-g ria county when it overlooked the claims urged for one of the normal schools. ‘ This county has stoodfor! the principles to which the Whitney government is pledged. and has need- ed no urging to send men to the legw- islature to further those principles. In Peterboro county for years pro-' fessed Conservatives have voted with the Liberals hr the sake of what the county could get out of the go\'- ern‘ment. For their foresight in this they are rewarded by Liberals and ConserVatives in success'um. Peter- boro is overloaded with plums. The same influence that worked the Ross government is now working the Lau- rieg government. and it. seems the WhitneyEgoVei-mnent. too. in order to get things for Peterlboro. _Of course it is net the fault of the Toronto house that Lindsay's locks are in such a leaky condition that they are fast becoming useless. and it is not to blame for the things Lindsay and Victoria didn't get from the Ross. government. But better things were expected in reference to ,the normal school. Lindsay is better situated- for such an institution than any other place in the Midland section, and the claims set torth shoulid haVe been better considered.
