Huron who had both come by train entered the hall amid hearty applause. 5 The President formally announced to the doctor the unanimous work done i and the tiuctor came forward to the edge of the platform. To him it must i have been a supreme moment to look into a hall-ful of faces which for the (eighth time had chosen him‘to represent them in the national councils! /si? out of seven times has he succeeded. Seven times successful he will be, l 7 is the perfect number.

The, chapge All: 1t.ieP..1t 'yy!PeuetSt.l,e2,etfs Monday morning last up to nearly 10 o'clock was very disagreeable. Heavy sharp dashes of rain and un overcast sky threatened the success of the Reform Convention. but before it stopped many good Grits from distant points were on the road. It turned out it beautiful day. hefore noon there was t number of delegates gathered and by 1 p. m. there was a decidedly repressnta‘ ties gathering had no more. come. But come they did and when the speaking got under Way the Town Hall was crowded with enthusiastic Relormers with a sprinkling of their opponents. It i, freely conceded no such Convention has been seen in Durham I. size-certainly none Was ever more unanimous and etttlutsGittie. Pres. II. H. Miller welcomed the dell-gates Ind other friends. met " they were to prepare for a victorious battle. The notory he said must be one of the people not of the condidme. it must be It fight from stsrt to fhusrh. The lamented death of Dr McLean. Ayton, was the occasion of posting the following resolution. Mr. Wenger, having cpportunities manned by he other at iriendslnp with the deceased. personally paid a high tribute to his worth, " also did Pres. Miller. The Association's tribute is as follows : tl XDI'QSSH in burhmn with leisure, and in Markdale no change stall. IIe regretted the ditt'eronees that had arisen about Miu'kdale. but firmly and kindly laid down the trimgiple that until wrong: was established he could not do otherwise. lle would he the last to condone a wrong. It any public ottieer on either side wanted to act the partisan in his riding, he could assure themthey Would Soon getfull liberty to iiosountrtuumeled by ottiee. He had given every oppor- tunity to have the complaints verified and lacking that he could not do other- wise. On that position he stood. and before saying anything of acceptance he asked those of the audience who sustained him in his adherence to this principle to rise. The response he got was eminently satisfactory and tor the eighth time he accepte their nomination, and ttusted with health their co-operation and good organization to again keen South Grey in the Liberal ranks. Our space forbids us following-in the meantime-the scathing remarks he made about the "dirty campaign" inaugurated by the Flesherton Advance and the Toronto Mail. The Mail article, perhaps inspired, from this riding, is grossly false and the speaker, sentence by sentence showed where the lie came in. The third sentence was “There isn’tas much enthusiasm over him as he would like" and before the Dr. could say a word "Lie No. three" came in instant and stentorian tones trom Mr Aaron Wenger, “three cheers for Dr Lenderkin" and the Dr would be hard to please if he would "like" more enthusiasm than was shown. Then followed the brilliant trio of speakers, all promised, all on hand, with a pleasing monotony of testimony as to Dr. Landerkin's worth and his valuetohis countryand hiscounty as a legislator in parliament. “Pleasing monotony" we say toy every parliamentarian from Laurler down who ever spoke in the riding testifies so, with unmistakeably genuine warmth. But this testimony was not all by any means. They came not to may Landerkin bat to show their regard for him and to discuss to strangers " he does in turn the ublic questions ot the day. Mr. Jun. McMillan is a prac- tical farmer, exceedingly "well-informed talks with a strong Scottish accent and is a convincing speaker" He has a mass of figures " his finger ends. which he rolls forth to the bewilderment of some mey be, but which we be lieve are thoroughly reliable because taken from public documents. We simply cannot condense this week and wont attempt it, bat will next week try to give a synopsis of his speech, which at many points was punctuated by applause. Dr. Horsey spoke for the firqrt time to a Durham audience. He had dim- dence in followin 'hits' old friend Mr. McMillan, when he was to be followed by 'their' friend Mr. f/ll',',',,,",,')'. He is anxioustomeet Dr. Us opponent to see the man “who was offering himself a living saerifiee on the shattered remnants ot the Tory pertv. Not only had the Dr. beaten the most valiant of the enemy.
