Mr. James Carnegie see lected for the Assembly. The Liberal Convention held in Whitby on Tuesday afternoon was thoroughly representative, and was characterized by the utmost har- mony, enthusiasm and hopefulness. The chair was very ably filled by Mr. R. M. Holtby, the president of the Liberal Association. Upon the opening of the session, Mr. Wm: Ross, ex-M.P. frankly stated to the convention that he had no desire or intention of re-entering public life, that his business de- manded his time, but that he would heartily support the candi- date selected by the convention. Ballot papers were then passed, and the delegates were asked to nominate a candidate for the Com- mons, and when the ballots were counted it was found that out of 149 papers 147 bore the name of Mr. F. L. Fowke, ex-mayor of Oshawa. This announcement was received with very great enthu- siasm, and Mr. Fowke upon rising to respond was greated with loud and prolonged applause.

A resolution was then adopted by.the convention expressing the utmost confidence in Hon, Geo. P. Graham, leader of the Liberal party in the Legislature, and voic- ing approval of his course since he had been chosen as leader. Upon coming forward to reply Mr. Graham received quite an ova- tion. In an address lasting nearly an hour he subjected the present Ontario Government to a pretty severe but -not unfair. criticism. He paid a meriteg tribute to the Hon." John Dryden, who did so much for the agricultural interests of the province, and pointed out the weakness of the 'present ad- ministration in what should be its strongest = department... He re- viewed the action of the present government touching educational matters, the license laws; and fi- nance.
