There was no lack of candidates, the following being the list of nominees and their moyers and seconders : G. McKechuie, by Alex. Davidson, Egreâ€" Pres. Morgan, took the chair, and after the reading of minutes and the passing of resolutions of confidence in the existing governments s+t Toronto and Ottawa, Dr. McLean, of Ayton was voted to the chair to conduct the business while the selection was being made, and the choice was a good one, the Doctor‘s guavity and good judgâ€" ment carrying the meeting through most suecessfully. He has had some experience in Municipal life as a member of his village council, and is at present and has been for 6 years chairmen ot the Public School Board there. His busi ness ability and integrity haye never been questioned. He has a straightâ€" forward record as a sterling Reformer, «nd in the election last year although great pressure was brough to bear upon him to lend his influence among his coâ€"religionists in the interests of the Tupper government and the school question, he remained stoutly true to the Reform Party and its policy of liharty and tolaratinn. _ His pepularity is unbounded where he is best known and this was shown on Thursday last when he came with a solid delegation of 25 from Proton and Dandalk, hayâ€" ing among them the Reeve and Clerk ot Proton, three Councillors, and Lounty Commissioner Watson. While Mr. Morgan may not be a briliiant public speaker, he has been a close student of political affairs, and well able to give a reason for the hope that is in him. Personally "J. D." as he is familiarly known, is affable and genial possessing a good deal of perâ€" sonal magnetsm and will make a candidate of which the Liberal Party in South Grey will be proud. He is a married man with two children, hayâ€" ing lost two others by diphtheria a few years ago. For several years hbe has been a member of the executive of S. Grey Reform Association, and last February was elected President. Last Thursday the Liberals of South Grey as constituted for the local House gathered in Durham in enthusiastic Zashion for the purpose of selecting ‘their candidate in the approaching election. When all were gathered the Town Hall was filled by an animated crowd one of the largest ever seen at a similar convention, and the business it was called upon to do was got throngh with in a business fashion. J, D, MORGAN, Dundalk chosen % as their Standard bearer. The subject of this sketch is a Canâ€" adian of Irish descent and was born in Brockville, Ont., 41 years ago, Darâ€" ing his infancy his parents removed to Owen Sound and it was here be reâ€" ceived the rudiments of his education, his application and diligence being rewarded by his securing a 1st Class Teachers‘ â€" Certificate, O@ County Board, in 1871 at the early age of 15. He subsequently taught a few years, two of these being among his future ennstitnents in Glenelg. About 1880 he removed to Dundalk and began a mercantile career as a general storeâ€" keeper continuing in that business for 13 years. During that time he began the buying of poles, wood, tanbark, &e. and is now entirely engaged in that business, filling large contracts and shipping at Durham, the stations on the C. P. R. from Shelburne to O. Sound, and othor lines to the east. The Liberal @Convention. Liberal Candidate in South Grey. . D. MORGAN. An Enthusiastic Mceting. +# 4 â€"The Jubilee of the Toronto Normal School took place a few days ago. _A large number of former students, some of them renowned, met and made, and listened to reminisâ€" cent addresses of ye olden time. Fine portraits of Jaffray Robertson, Dr. Sangster and Dr. Davis, the three first principals were unveiled. We notice the name of W. D. Staples, of Durham, among the interested visitors. The applause with which these reâ€" marks were greeted had not died away when it was announced that Dr. Landerkin, M. Pâ€" had arrived, and the large crowd, which had begun to move, it being late, at once settled back to listen to the genial and popular war horse of the Reform party in S. Grey. The Doctor made no attempt at a lengthy address. He congratulâ€" ated the delegates on the choice they nad made, paid a compliment to the work done by Mr. Morgan in the past and warmly urged the sinking of all differences and the uniting as to a man in returning from South Grey a supporter of the liberal and progressive government of Hon. Mr. Hardy. The doctor made a brief reference to Dom inion affairs, and without doubt his presence and his manner sent the large crowd home intused with a deâ€" termination and a belief that victory wasitheirs once more if every one did. his duty. The usual loyal cheers for: the Queen, for the Candidate and the‘ Premier closed an interesting meeting. The balloting was then proceeded with and the first ballot showed Mearng, Binnie and Morgan in the lead in the order named. The next showed Mearns leading with an inâ€" creased vote while Binnie and Morgan tied. _ Another was taken and this time Binnie and Mearns tied with Morâ€" gan a few votes behind. The tussle between Rinnie and Méearns was decided for Binnie by 9 of a majority. Then came three dual contests in which Morgan was victorious every time beating Binnie by 4, Mearns by 7, and McKechnie by 6. Mr. Wenger‘s speech should not be be passed oyer. It was an electric one. He dealt with the Tupper type of Conservative and the John A. type the latter of which some Conservative politicians claim to be. After examinâ€" ing the fruits of both types he saw nothing to admire in either and urged the unanimous support of the delegates and the party to the choice of the Conâ€" vention. When the result was no longer in doubt‘Dr. Mearns mounted the platform and moved, seconded by Mr. Binnie that the nomination be made unaniâ€" mous, and amid great enthusiagm this was Carried. Mr. Morgan then addressed the mseting promlsing with their coâ€"operâ€" ation to put up a fair and honest fight and their success would be assurâ€" ed. He thanked them warmly for the favor they had done him in making him their candidate and was duly imâ€" pressed with the responsibility placed upon him and would endeavor to lead them to victory, Three of these retired after brief reâ€" marks leaving the field to Messrs Mc Kechnie, Binnie, Morgan and Mearns. Brief addresses by the 4 candidates tollowed. Dr. Mearns showed why there should be no change at present in the Ontario Government putting the case very strongly. Their opponents wanted to capture the strongbox of Ontario to help them win the next Dominion Elections. _ Mr. Morgan showed how the example of Ontario had been effectual in convincing the Dominion of the benefits of Liberal Administration. Mr. Binnie took up the ery "It is time for a change, " and forcibly showed that there was no parallel in the adaptation of the cry in Dominion and Proyincial elections. Mr. McKechnie welcomed those present who at a previous election had cast their votes against the Reform party, and appealed for unanimfty and the triumph of our principles was sure. Ontario was a credit to the Confederâ€" ation in the record of her government, a government with a surplus and not a debt as anycne could tell by an exâ€" amination of the : Public Accounts where receipts from interest were plainly shown. mont, and Wm.

Twnmleg is on the sick list but hope to hear of his speedy recovery, Last Sunday while on the way from Desboro Miss Schillung was thrown out of a buggy and broke her leg but we are glad to hear she is recovering. The revival setvices conducted by Mr. Anderson was fairly well attended. Mr. Alex, McDonald bas again left our midst, As Alex. is a good wo:rkman his services are in demand. He has gone to Waterloo we believe and we wish him health and a good time. We hear some one carries a sad heart since his departure. The seryice at the Presbyterian Church last Friday was largely attendâ€" ed and all appreciated hfr Burvetts service yery much, â€"The announcement of the opening of the last session of the local House on Nov,. 30, has set the politicians at work every where, and conventions are the oider of the day. Tomorrow, Friday, the Conservatives of 8. (Grey are called together, and will no doubt have a candidate out or make provis on for having another Convention for the purpose at an early date, to be addressed by some of the chief lights of the party. The Patrons bave their Convention on the 3rd Tuesday in December when the House will be in session, and will have the advantage possibly, of seeing the hands of both the other parties displayed. It is alâ€" most certain that a divorce has taken place between the Conservatives and the Patrons, consequently their will not be seen the same united march to victory as was witnessed in 1894. This combination elected their man four years ago by a rousing majority, but the forces and the faith otf that day are greatly decadent now, while the government they attacked is as vyirile. as ever, and and likely to remain so’ while it fo‘lows the path of honest ad ’ ministration. What cach can now do singlehanded is a matter of conjecmre, depending partly on the strength of| their candidates, but it requires no prophet to fortell that to defeat the candidate the Liberals have placed ‘ in the field will require the strengthl of a stronger candidate than is now in sight in either camp. l â€"Hon. Mr. Sifton has gone up one of the passes leading over the mounâ€" tains to the lakes and strcams which flow to the Yukon and has reâ€" turned by another. Mr. Sifton, a corvespondent says is showing both pluck and energy and deserves the greatest credit for enduring hardships thats he may thoroughly acquaint himâ€" self with the necessities of the route before the wild rush of the spring ‘y8. â€"A drink crazed Toronto tailor fatal‘y stabbed his son with a pair of scissors last Saturday. They had been drinking during the day and the murderer was in a vindictive humor. The old story. The friends of Dr. Mearns may well be gratified, that, coming from Hanâ€" over which it is true has furnished S. Grey with the strongest candidate she ever had he took so many votes at this convention. _ Mr. McKechnie‘s friends while they think that his pre: convention determination to seek no support, except that given freely, and his splendid services for the party in byeâ€"gone years and urder peculiar difficultics deserved more recogniâ€" tion, yet think with him that the choice of the convention is a good one and will give loyal support. While the friends of Mr. Binnie, who, in the general balloting stocd out longest, have no reason to be ashamed of the fight made by one of the most intelligent farmers in S. Grey. They will yet be heard from in their counâ€" try‘s history, and will in the coming contest do yeoman service in the ranks among which they are leaders. The Reform Party of South Grey: bhave no lack of good men able to carry their standard in a political fight and not often is there seen four men so evenly matched as were the four candidates last Thursday. This division of feeling in the choice of a representative is sometimes apt to lead to coldness or *‘ soreheadedness " on the part of the defeated ones and their friends. However, we cannot believe this will prevail in the coming conâ€" test. Indeed we have been surprised and gratified in interviews we have had with friends of all the defeated candidates to find a general impulse to unite most heartily on the choice of the convention and sink all differences in view of the importancs of the issues involved.
