This government, lately remodelled is as virile as ever. _ Its capacity for constructive legislation is admittedly ahead of anything in the ranks of its opponents, where elements of disunion and distrust manifest themselves even now. John McKechnie is the candiâ€" date in South Grey supporting this government, and he asks and will get such a mpgm as will place South Grey in the Liberal column, Nor looking at the matter provineâ€" ially should the issue be in doubt here. Voters of South Grey are intelligent men, and comparing their province with others which started even in the race of Confederation they tind that Ontario stands preeminent amongst them ali in wealth and influence, the only one without a debt, the only one with a surplus. _ This state of affairs has been achieved under the governâ€" ment Mr McKechnie will support. True, they bave been long in power, bave spent about $123,000,000, have built Asylums, Parliament Baildings and other Public Works, have aided roads and railways, have returned money tu municipulities, as this riding well knows, and all this without one breath of scandai, or charge of malâ€" feasance of a cent, and only a fraction of less than 1 per cent was ever challenged by the opposition. j The issue in 8. Grey should not for a moment be in doubt. The Liberal party never were in better heart for a struygle : they have a popular candiâ€" date, the unanimous choice of their Convention, a man who has spent alâ€" most his entire lite in South Grey. since coming from Scotland. whuse business instinet is very marked, and who will look afterâ€"our affairs with the same assiduity he has given to his own and to that of the we!ll known firm of which he is the Junior partner. 1 oV T in ae o hald y " ols 4A tokens succeéss n Jan. 25 next.
