The South Grey Liberal Association met in the town hall on Tuesday last for the purpose of nominating candi- dates for the Provincial and Dominion Houses and to listen to addresses by Hon. A. G. MacKay, Leader of the iOpposit-iou, and H. H. Miller, the I present representative of this riding in the House of Commons. At the business meeting to which} none but the faithful were admitted.

The whole address was one of sharp censme. and though he admitted that the Conservatives knew a. thing or two, he didn’t: itemize, and e 'idently what they knew didn’t. amount; to much in his opinion. Mr. MacKay urged the South Grey Liberals to be up and doing, saying that it was better to nominate a can- didate and be defeated than to let the riding go by'acclamation. His appeal was. we believe, instrumental in cans- ing Mr. Neil McCannel to accept the nomination at the end of the meeting, just (to use his own words) to keep , them from being "stuck.” Mr. Miller’s address was also short. ' the hour being so late. He reviewed the recent charges made against the Lauriei- Government by the Conservaâ€" l Lives regarding the North Atlantic ‘ Trading Company, the “Arctic” and timber scandals. Despite all the chaijges laid against them, Mr. Miller could not see a single instance in' which the Liberal Govern ment was at fault, I though he acknowledged that some of the supplies of the "Arctic” steamer , possibly did come a little high.
