ClRCULATION.-â€"TH2 W ATCHMAN-WARDER’ s circulation is 5,000, of which 4,300 copies go w ithin trading distance of the town. The elections are on. In less than 30 days the poli- tical control of this country for the next five years will be decided. It is a consideration that must stir every thought- ful man and lay upon every voter the responsibilities of citizenship more heavily than he is wont to wear them. It is a time and a crisis that ought to thrill Conserva- tives like a battleshout. There is nothing noble in blind partyism, but there come days when a man’s service to his country finds its most effective expressicn in fidelity to his party. These are such days for Conservatives 3 and it is to make this clear with rousing emphasis that these lines are written. . The Conservative party stands for the policy and principles that have. made Canana great. It originated and administered them. The history of Canada’s upbuilding has been the histOry of the Conservative party. For eight- een years the difficult problems of a. young nation were wisely solved by the splend d statesmanship of that party’s leaders. Four years ago, on a question that was a mere accident in the country’s affairs, the party was turned out of power. Once before the same thing occurred. It then run. Mm, . form (m the neonle to see their mistake, and if But there is more than that. A strange king has appeared in Egypt. The Liberalsâ€"these people of whom it was so truly said : “they have not the genius of govern- ment,” have ct me into power. Rejected at every election when the ab'ding problems of the nation were the issues, they, by a mere accident, such as adventurers profit by, came into power. Judged by any legitimate standard they have been a failure. Vainly does their chief organ placard the first page of its daily issue with arithmetic designs to show that Liberal rule has meant prosperity. Commercial prosperity, C:nada has had, but only in com- mon with the rest of the word; and the fact that the United States has a‘together outstripped us in the percentage of its increased trade returns, leads to a suSpicion that, so far are the Liberals from deserving any credit for our advancement. Lu» “luv! “be any... _v~â€"V . as to deserve pmitlve condemnation for having hampered us by their poicy. Prosperity that has come to all the world is scarcely a product of the Liberal party of Canada. That is no test ; for they did not bring it about. The only increase for which the government is responsible is the increase in the national debt. That has gone up eight million dollars, but it does not appear among the figures on the Globe’s first page. Taking away the increased trade, what even appears to commend the Liberals? They made promises They were to provide a fad: Atlantic service; they have not done it Th-y were to reduce expendiuures; they have raised them from 40 to nearly 60 millions. They were to give a pure aim nistration; the political corruption and gifts of public property to favorites, .have surpassed all records. The Liberals have f+iled. They have brought the country into the ways that lead so certainly to disaster that no temporary revival of the world’s trade can hide the peril. As before, so now, the country’s hope is in the Con- servative party. With its splendid history, high ideals, capacity for government, and veteran leader, it presents the electors an Opportunity to redeem Lheir country, that they will surely not be slow to accept. Another eection contes: is on hand and with it the temptatic us to political can'uptiun that web events provide. EZNAEX: .335; Galway, Were u'nibad in marriage at the bride’s name by Rev.

Walters, Supt. of Public Works, on Wednesday of last week, when his eldest daughter, Annie,and.Dr. J. C. Devitt of Bowmanville were married. Rural Dean Marsh of St. Paul’s and Rev. B. P.

The bride’s dress was white silk organdie over white satin and her bouquet roses Her veil of Limerick lace was fastened With orange blossoms. Miss Beatrice, her sister, was bridesmaid. Little Vera Bowles was maid of honor. Mr. Thomas Devitt, brother of the groom, was best man. l‘he groom’s gift to the bride was a gold chain with pearls, to her maid, a turquoise and pearl ring and to the maid of honor an opal ring. Mr. and Mrs. Devitt were among the most popular young people of this town. and we join their multitude of friends in wishing them bon voyage through life. We see in this week’s issue of the Fam- ily Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal their announcement of two new remium pictures, “(Jhrist in the Temp e," and “Home from the War,” the letter repre- senting the return of a Canadian Soldier from South Africa while the former is one of the best known ictures in the world. The Family Heral and Weekly Star cer- tainly is to be congratulated on giving their readers such beautiful pictures. A twenty-four page paper like the Family Herald and Weekly Star and two such pic- tures, all to" one dollar, is one of the won- ders of the day.

The man of the highest professions, will wink at a talsehood told by some- one else, it it helps his party ; he will endorse the most un charitable language about an opponent ; he will, by his silence, be an abettor of the worst corruption because to tell the truth would injure the cause.

These ridings are not so dr- graded that corruption is the price of victory. We can win without it; and we will. Not a wink or a nod, but an out- spoken manly word ; not a trick or a shuffle, but a straight forward, honest effort; not a threat or a bribe, but a clear and honorable appeal to the voter’s intelligenceâ€"by these let the victory be won. From our humblest worker up to our candidates, let every man be clear of all reproach. Work hard, watch always and “Gather gear :5 every wile That's justlfl by honor,” but put away every ignoble thing. for it will not do to elect our governments by means that will wreck cur nation. duty.

Ireland, Where he was born Aug. 18th, 1833. When 14 years old he came to Canada with his par- ents and family and took up residence in Belleville.

After conducting business there for three years he sold out and took no his residence in Port Hope and in 1861 moved to Lindsay where he resided until his death. Mr. O'Connor was engaged in the manu- facture of carriages and wagons in' Lind- say from the time of his arrival in town until three years ago and during that time was known as a thorough mechanic and a 1man of high integrity. He was not a demonstrative man but never turned a deaf ear to the needy if it lay in his power to answer an appeal. During the past‘ year he had very poor health and departed this life Sunday morning quite resigned to meet his Maker.
