CLEARING SALE WALL PAPER HALF "PRICE, October and November, To Make Room for New. Come early and get the Bar- gains. J. A. HAGKING. ListowelStandard FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908. REFORMERS sor LIBERALS, T time was pe the Laurier Ad- ministration and the electors whom they pretend to represent gloried in the name of reformers.- Thoso were the good = days when fiscal duties were to be "re- formed" by their abolition ; when there was to be reform in the administration of the public funds by economy in all the spending departments of the govern. ment ; reform in giving the elector more liberty i in the expression of his delibe- rate voice at the polls; reform in gen- eral in all the extravagances which were supposed to have grown up under the so- called c corrupt Conservative regime. To- day we hear littlo of reform or the Re- former, but only of the great Liberal administration -- truly a significant change of name indicative of as great a change of heart and of principle. Lib- eral they have been to their party friends in rake-offs in contracts without tender, in the | purchase of useless stores, in the sale of public lands and timber for next to nothing ; liberal in making or finding offices for defeated canaitintes and discredited Ministers ; liberal in ba number of Ministers who have tried and found wanting ; liberal with private cars; liberal with Government boats ; liberal in the equipment of the 'Arctic' and the 'Montcalm'; liberal in the Marine Department ; liberal in pro- mises; li in the increase of the pablis debt. 'Truly if the country real- y needs a renewed Liberal administra- tion, Laurier and his crew of Liberals should be returned to power, No, the cry of the country is for real reform. Reformers worthy of the name will vote for reform in Canadian poli- tics just as they voted for reform in On. tario politics, and just as surely as the Whitney adininistration in Ontario have oved tiemselves reformers of the highest order, so will the Borden admin- istration at Ottawa reform abuses and conserve the national ee of this vast and growing country A LIBERAL'S PROTEST. -- ) A denunciation of the Laurier Gov- ernment was delivered at North Bay on Saturday night by Mr. Thomas Murray, until recently a supporter of.the Liber- al party. Ile was a few years ago the Liberal member in the Dominion House for the county of Pontiac, Quebec. Mr. Murray said he had no axe to grind, nor was he a disappointed oftice sucker but his sole reasons for making the change were the corruption, dishonesty and extravagance of his former associ- ates aud his loss of confidence in Sir Wilfrid. In regard to the appointment of Chas. Murphy. the new Cabinet Min- ister, Mr. Murray deplored the fact that it should be so constantly kept before the people by Sir Wilfrid that some man must bein the Cabinet whose chief qualitication wis his religion. "In any event, who is Murphy ?" asked Mr. Mur- ray. * 1as never been heard of as occupying a prominent position in his profession. He has no public experience not even asa municipal councillor ; cinnot got a seatin Ottawa, his place of residence and where he is best known, nor can he even get an Irish Catholic constituency in any part of the Domin- ion, but must seek election in the coun. ty of Russell, which is orerebainingty French.' Touching on the interest evinced matters Canadian on the other-side of the line, and Empire Bays: "The New York Sun joins in the appeal to 'let Laurier finish his work.' The Canadian Premier is entitled te some sympathy and aid from that side of tho border, for he has done more to promote United States interests in this country than any other human agency. Uncle Sam has doubled his exports to Canada os aresult of Laurier's tinkering with the tariff. Itis tothe Laurier Admin- istration the United States is indebted for the slice of territory gained in the undary settlement. Itis by the same Administration our neighbors are encouraged to persist in their efforts for the blocking of our Hingers power development.' Mr. Geo. Taylor, chief Conservative whip, is confident that Mr. R.L. Bor- have a majority of 40 in the . He estimates that the bec, 66 in Ontario, 9 in New Brunswick, 9 in Nova Scotia, 4~ in Prince Edward Island, 8 in Manitoba, 8 in Alberta and Saskatchewan combined, 6in British Columbia and 1 in the Yukon. Dr. A. E, Ross, Mayor of Kingston, has accepted the Conservative nomina- tion, to oppose Hon. William Harty, and Andrew Broder was renominated by the Conservatives of Dun Canada won the international gymnas- tic competition at Rome. Pingo em will make an attempt to ob- adimission for her cattle into the British market, WITH THE PREMIER GOES THE PROFESSIONAL DECORATOR. Oo (Clinton News-Record.) to a campaign o! p music, in order to hide the real issues from the people, The people learned with surprise that al Decorator travel together, or, to be more exact, that the Decorator goes a day ahead, hence the lavish and geudy display of bunting, banners and devices. The Premier andthe Decorator area new combination in Canadian politics. The affair was extensively boomed, five brass bands were engaged, 3) trains were run, party fealty and pub- lic curiosity were appealed to, and yet the attendance, at & generous estimate, did notexceed 5,000 people. Half as many more had been expected, as thi will be the Premier's only appearance in this part of the province and the cele- bration wus intended for Huron, Pérth and Bruce. Fully a third of those pres- ent were Conservatives. The Tor. stalwarts of Stanley, Hullett, Tucker- smith and Goderich township turned out strong. . It was astrangely undemonstrative demonstration. There was scarcel cheer as the processio through the streets from the station to the park. The people were respectful but cool, and their lack of enthusiasm is said to been a keen disappointment to Sir Wil- frid, who had been led to expect greater things, n as the procession passed the Professional Decorator pulled down his banners and bunting and hurried off to erlin, oe = Premier makes his next appeara: Query : Who 1 pays the Decorator ? Sir Wilfrid spoke for about an hour, covering the © ground as at his meetings at Strathroy and elsewhere. He soared somewhat, after his usual manner, and charged that his oppon- ents had no policy but that of slander. His claim that he has a pure Govern- ment caused an amused smile to pass over the crowd which had in mind the aggregation by which he is and has been surrounded. Sir Wilfrid stated that charges made against his officials were always investigated, but his hearers knew that it was not necessary to go out of Huron for evidence to the con- trary. They have not forgotten that Robert _Holmes was elected by ballot box frauds and that Sir Wilfrid Laurier stifled the investigation in the House of Commons. 'It is time for a change." Five brass bands were engaged for the day, so that if the people missed convincing oratory they heard plenty of music, much of it good music, too. The Wingham band gave a much ap- preciated program on postoffice square in the evening. They put up good music in Lid a and they vote right on election One of the "panne read : "Five More rears of Good Times.' This, of course, appealed very forcibly to the mechanics of Seaforth, Wingham, Goderich and Clintou. scores of whom have been out of work or on short time for a consider- able portion of the past year. No work means no pay; half time means half pay, yet there is rent and taxes to pay, coal and groceries to buy. Do the mechanics of Huron want five more years of the present state of affairs ? REID AGAINST KING. -o-- North Waterloo Conservatives Place a Strong Man in the Field, --o-- The Conservative party has selected Ktichard Reid as their standard bearer in North Waterloo. The convention held last Saturday at Berlin was one of the largest attended and most enthiusi- astic in the history of the riding, nearly five hundred voting delegates being pres- ent in comparison with less than two hundred at the convention which nomi- nated Mr. King. Mr. Reid is one of the best known men in the constituency and has been an adherent of and work. er for the Conservative cause for than a quarter of a century. years he was secretary of the Conserva- tive Association and he is now presi- dent. Only two naines went to the con- vention, that of Mr. Reid and Simon B, Bricker, a prominent merchant of Water- loo. The vote was 267 to 219 in favor of Mr. Reid. Mr, ape -junem was nomin- ated, but found it necessary to with. draw on account of ill-health and other reasons. eis, however, a warm sup- porter of Mr. Reid. Mr. Seagram in spirited address said that he would go back into the ranks and help the party to put an honest ee into office. Joseph P, Downey, M, P. P., said that the Liberal candidlata in North Waterloo was leading a forlorn hope, as if local Liberals thought that they hada chance they would have snapped at the nomination themselves. DR, CHISHOLM -THE CHOICE, --o-- Wingham, Sopt. 28.--An omen of vic- tory was the Liberal-Conservative con- vention for East Huron held in Brussels to-day. Notwithstanding a pouring rain one hundred and fifty or more delegates assembled full of enthusiasm for the fray. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Dudley Holmes, Wingham; first vice-president, John Wilford; second vice-president, Robert Musgrove, Bluevale; third vice-presi- dent, M. H. Moore, Brussels ; treasurer, William Smith, Walton ; secretary, Theo, Hall, Wingham. After the election of chairmen for the polling sub-divisions, the nomination of a candidate for the Dominion House was taken up. Only one name was mentioa- ed, that of Dr. Chisholm, the popular re- presentative of the riding for the - }four years. His nomination was ty and unanimous, and a wae id vote of every delegate enhanced the en- thosiasm. ddresses were thon delivered by Dr. Chisholm, who gave a review of the work of the term; Mr. James Bowman, eo. Spotton, Dudley Holmes, B, Gerry, J. °° Wilford and others. Enthusiasm se as the meeting progressed, and at the close the delegates pledged them- selves to faithful, earnest work to re- turn their faithful representative. lutions of confidence inR. L. Borden and Sir James Whitney -were passed, and the convention closed with cheers for the Kiog, Mr. Borden and Dr, Chisholm, $ the Premier of Canado and a Profession-* BOUGHT FOR $1,650, SOLD FOR $100,000, Ottawa Liberal Candidate Tells Court Reluctantly of His Huge Timber Ottawa, Sépt. 25.--A remarkable bit of testimony, first-hand, relating to the Démini which --- the Government, and is brought by J.

In his evidence Mr. Fraser stated that he paid $1,650 for the limit, Question- as tc what he'had done with it, he admitted having sold it to O. E. Roberts of Minneapolis, Asked the price he ob- tained, his counsel strenuously objected to his client being compelled to answer. The court directed that the question Wasa properone, andthe defendant then answered that he received the limit in question, together with one-half of its area, the sum of $100,000, Yt, | TEN QUEBEC SEATS MI:ANS BORDEN WINS, Mr. Brodeor Warns Sonlanges County Convention That Strife is Panne, | Montreal, Sept. 25.--"I have to tell you, yentlemen, that this internal strife in the Liberal party must cease, for if the Opposition carries more than ten seats in the Province of Quebec the Laurier Government will be defeated." Brodeur atthe Liberal convention in Soulanges County yesterday afternoon as a warpin There were three aspirants for the nomination, and on the first ballot Dr. Bourbonnais, the last member, got 384 votes out of 82, the remaining votes be- ing divided between Dr. Daugh and Mr, Charand. Then Dr. Bourbonnais de- clared that he had the pea 4 on " first ballot and would stand for Parlia ment in any event. At this juncture Mr. Brodeur arose a called for harmony, warning them n the above words that the outlook for the Liberal party was exceedingly grave. 3 PLUNGED TO DEATH. Terrible Aceident Near Hamilton, Hamilton, Sept. 27.--Three instantly killed and a fourth man seriously ipjur- ed is the appalling result of an accident which occurre ut 6 o'clock this morning on the line of the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway, near Min- eral Springs, when a freight train crash- ed through a wooden bridge and fell to the ground below, a distance of probab- ly 20 feet. -. dead: Robert McFadden, engin- ; Ed. Brown, fireman; Wm. Malon oy. 'the fireman's brother- in- law, who was riding on the locomotive. The injured: Samuel brakeman. The acene of the accident is on a 20- foot embankment a short distance west of Summit. Over a public road is an old-time wooden bridge, approximately thirty feet long. A small creek ran twenty feet below. The freight train, laden with fruit and in charge of Con- ductor Martin, left Brantford for Ham- ilton at 5.08 this morning. It arrived at the two bridges about an hour later and safely passed the first one. The locomotive had about passed over the second one when there was a crash, the wooden structure collapsed, and the lo- comotive, tender and five following freight cars went down in a heap to the oreek underneath 'adden, the engineer; Brown, the fireman,and Maloney were in the cal of the locomotive, and were evidently killed instantly. The tender turned complete somersault and landed square on the engine cab, pinning the three un- fortunate men in the mass of debris mat evidently snuffing out their lives. Dickinson, the brakuman, was riding | on a flat car three cars behind the en. gine, Thatcar went down, too, but Dickinson landed on the top and scram. bled to safety. His escapo from instant death was marvelous. His injuries con- sisted of a badly cut leg, and he was later"taken to a local hospital. Conductor Martin and Brakeman Mc- Kenna, who were in the caboose, escap- ed injury, the last five cars not leaving the track. They notified the railroad authorities and a G. T. R. wrecking aux- iliary and crane were sent to the scene of the accident. Fire Chief Teneyck and a squad of men also went out with a steamer and pumped water from the creek to+4he wreck to allow of the mass of twisted iron being approached to re- cover the bodies. The tender was finally removed by the crane and the three bodies were re- moved shortly after 5 o'clock this atter- noon, nearly ten hours after the wreck occurred. They were burned beyond recognition and their widows, for they were ail married, will be unable to know which body was that of their loved one.
