The party will then have an opportunity to select a candidate to contest the constituency at the com- ing Dominion election, and as the names of a number of gentlemen will come before the Convention it be- hooves the delegates and the candid- ates as well to fix upon the best man. ‘Vithout naming any of the probable candidates, we may say from a political standpoint that the best: man is he who can secure the great- est support and win the election. To say that we enter the contest to win is only fair and reasonable and the action of Saturday next should be the initial step. True, a number have been mentioned as aspirants, but we have no authority to say that the names of any of those mentioned will come up for consideration. \Ve hope, however, to see a large gather- ing of delegates and others present to show that Conservatism is still a powerful factor in the South Riding of Grey.
