Mr Ross has endured with uncom- plaining philosophv 1n amount of mis- representation and calumny that even party rancor cannot excuse. He will find that these tactics of his political foes have had an effeet that did not occur tothem. It has increased the devotion of his friends and has filled all fair-minded men with a determin- tion to show no man can be injured in this intelligent Province by a mere torrent ot abuse that has no foundation in fact or reaaon.---Globe. .. He is entirely worthy of that support. For the greater part of his life he has aeVoted his uncommon ability to the service of the Province. He has had no other object than to help it forward in its path as one of the most advanced of States ofthe world in the scale of civilization. He has given himself un- grudingl y and with marvellous energy to this work, and the measure of' his success is found in the fact that an in- habitant ot this province can stand up in any company and cite it as an un- rivalled example of the successful working oi democratic representative institutions. Since his advent to the Premiership. Hon Geo l" Rose has been beset by no common dimeuitiea. He has met them all with a cheeriuess and patient courate that has deepened the attach mom feittor him through every part ot the Province. The call for a con- vention will, we venture to prophecy, be answered with enthusiam, and with equal enthusiam it will be made man- ifest that Mr Ross has behind him an admiring and united party. Seldom hasty political Leader been so unfairly and viciously attacked. But the malice has about Spent itself, and nothing will so effectually dispose of it as a great meeting of the repre- sentative men in the Liberal party of Ontario, met to give counsel to their chieitain and assure him of their tealty and unwavering support. Mr. Arch Galbraith. Butte, Montana, called last week on many of his old friends in Durham who were pleased to see him looking so well. He came home on the occasion of his motherh lust ill- neu. and had the. melancholy satisfac- tion of seeing her about 16 minutes before she died and to be consciously welcomed. He returns this week to Montana. THE YOUTH’S COIPANION IN 1905. Mr. W. K. Reid came home Wednes- day last from the West having been " far no Banff.

The Convention will we hope speak its mind ; will condemn every corrupt method in man or minister; wiil be found unwavering in its support of Bri- tish tair play in elections. It should be made perfecclv clear for one thing that men of the Cap Sullivan or Gamey stamp should have neither part nor lot in Liberal councils. There is another cry. that they had been 32 years in power and should give way to their opponents. If the” opponents had developed a leader, they would have won ere new, for the cry ot " time tor a change " is always powerful. But no one can suppose that intelligent Ontario would crush down Ross to elevate Whitney and his lieut- enant Gsmey. Mr Ross has had hard luck as We said last week, and the feeling of very many is that he should be given a new lease of power, with a reeoustrmued cabinet and this we be- lieve will be one tindlntr of the Con. vention, and later the finding of the country. That the Ross government has done so much at recent years of real pro greasive work, is matter of surprise. considering the narrow majority they have had and the persistent and mal- ignant " plan ot campaign ., ot their opponents. That they could do still more is a eotttident certainty if they had a reasonable working majority, and it is this tsonfidentNt we believe that has led Hon. G. W. Ross tocall a Convention to ascertain the views of the party. to enunciate new and pro- gressive steps in provincial progress. and to give the lie to so much of the public calnmny that is the chief stock in trade of the opposition. x','dlgtftu'2tt week. n - Provincial l (invention will be held in Toronto on lines duller mtg: of 1883. called a (live -. some time be 1lhtvtntttst with have been well to the iron, and only the absorbing Minion eontott eta-our- ed the t,t',',tpl l...

The services of both have indisputably been ot value to their country. and no fiaw can be found in their administra- tive record, but the crookednetn and corruption which have also indisputab- ly been rampant at election times has been persistently laid at their door by their enemies, in spite of the findings of the courts and ot the judiciary.
