h? Al I I Er. Jamieson followed and charged that the commission to investigate the surplus was composed of 3 of the gov- ernment's best friends, and twitted them for ap inting commissions on 65 occasions. ff) quoted from Nova Scotia leaders showing how desirable it was under our party system that a change of government should take glace fre- quently. Also an opinion of ir Oliver )lowats' as to the desirability of having an independent government in Ontario. At present the "Ontario government was a kind of donkey engine to the Dominion government". He then launched out on Corruption charges claiming that the government reward- tad the corrupters. He read a part of the famous McNish confession charging that ne had made the confession to prevent further disclosures. He gave his party credit for originating the Att- ricultural College idea away back in 1870. The railways it was pointed out carried freight cheaper from American points than from Canadian ones and the government was blamed for not using its inthernee with the Dominion generator» to have this remedied. He then referred to education. Mr. Whitney would legislate for the 95 per cent of children who never get beyond the Public Schools rather than for the 5 per cent which he blamed the gov- ernment for doing. He dealt with the school book ring, so-ealled, with Mr. Master, who was a traitor and closed, as Mr. Binnie had done, with an ap- peal for their support on the 29th. The foregoing is the substance of the points brought forward by each candidate and it will be out of the question to repeat them for mt)spequent meetings. The reading public have made up their mind on most of them already, but these and all should get out and hear the issues discussed At the close ot Mr. Binnie’s speech, Mr. Wm. Irvine took the Scotch privilege of buckling the candidates and after how atttUtied on a point about the pulp concession, he and another and most important question "What is your opinion on nation of members of 1'lll'i.'ldSit"gatt railway pun.” This roused a new interest which we. decidedly incl-end us Mr. Binniophinly and his opin. no that the practice at accepting pene- l Mr. Binnie said the gOVernment was appealing once more to the country and doing so with confidence on its record. He thought the meat interest- ing part orthat record was the finan- cial part and began with that. For many elections past for 20 years or more the cry of extravagance had been raised by their opponents, that the era ofdirect taxation would soon come. but all the predictions were belied, for the government were still running the province had still a large surplus. and direct taxation seemed no nearer than ever. He showed that the report of the tinaneial commission of three prominent financiers placed above all cavil the fact of Ontario's surplus. He then touched on, and necessarily brief, the FAitteational system of the province, referring to its origin, growth and the wonderful impetus given to it by the long ineambeney of Hon. G. W. Rose as Minister of Education, which position the opposition had opposed. he care ot the helpless in Insane, Blind and other such institutions had been judiciously attended to. Mr. Binnie next referred to the liberal support the government had given to the basic industry ot the province- agriealtare--by its various grants to Agricultural Societies. Farmers' Insti- tutes. ete., and scored the Conserva- tive Party tor long and factions opposition to Institutes. He dealt at length with the railway policy ot the government showing how wisely grants were hedged round with conditions in the public interests. He defended the Pulp concessxons and out lined Elm safeguards to the province which the government had made. A brie! communion between the leaders and it was deeided that Hr. Binnie should open, area! for 45 mm- ntee, Dr Jamison fol ow with similar time, and Mr. B. have 15 minutes to reply. This, in alternate order, will be the procedure this week. It being Mr. Binnie 'smeeting, Mr. Thar Clark. Pres. of the Bentinek Reform Associa- tion was voted to the chair, and needles to say he made an ideal chairman. There was the best of order, fair and respectful hearing to both parties, with a moderate share oi' applause to each. He did not shun reference to the campaign cry of his opponents as to corruption at elections. but stood ready to denounce and did denounce any of either party that used nntair or illegal means of tampering with the popular will. He denied that the complicity ot the government or even ot any prom- inent reformer had been proved in any ot the charges made, bat it had been proved that evidence against them had een paid for by the Conservative party, and the attidavitt, of wrong do- ing Wore generally made when the men were safely over the border. He called upon his opponents to condemn rascality in their own party. and im stanced the case of Wm Smith in S. Ontario who admitted before thejudge spending money corruptly.

If it isn't effectual in [our years then the Dr. stands dig.. counted as a political physician. Did the Whitney candidate say " Louise that they had began the last two campaigns there and were success- ful? We accept the omen? The Ross candidate began this time. Was Dr. Jamieson really in earnest at Louise when he sneered " Mr. Binnie's resolve to accept no railway pass? That once elected he would do as others had done ? Mr. Binnie is human, but we fancy Irom the firm.. ness in his reply "it elected I shall not use a railway pass" there is a man behind the purpose. Ilil WHIINEY Jllll)ll)llrll ha. No Railway Pass for Binnie. Bat he will pass into the Legislature all the same. Meetings “in the interest of Dr. Jamieson" in Proton and East Egre- mont next week. Avote of thanks to the chairman and cheers for the leaders and the candidates closed the meeting and both parties dealt out campaign literature so that all might " read, learn and inwardly digest" the opinions of the rascals on both sides. Batagain was he in earnest when he said 'anything we get from rail- way companies in the way ot passes there is no room to kick about". the Companies have got {lenty from the people in the past l le seemed to be in earnest. Is he not mistaking cause for effect? What the companies got from the people through the legislature was it not trom members with passes in their pockets? Who can say the majority of those were not inflaeneed by the small but useful bribe ? this week. a was reprehensible and said " If elected I shall not use a railway pass." Ms. Irvine put the same question to the Dr.. who treated the matter face. tiously by declaring that " Mr. Binnie can be cured of his disliketo passes by electing him to the Legislature. tt This was taken humorously by the audience and the doctor closed the incident by stating that "anything we get from the railway companies in the way of passes, there is no room to, kick about, " " the companies have got plenty from the people in the past." i And we are not to kick ? The mas- ses givcthe money, the member gets the pass. The reward of Egremont. Normanhv and other municipalities for struggling 20 years with a railway debt is they can pay their own tare bat their member has a pass ! Well we haven 't been kicking on this point to any extent, but we dp not remember ever before being told so bluntly the ethics ofthe railway pass. Time for a change in S. Grey.
