Mr. Morgan will hardly venture to claim that be would have received all the yotes marked for the Independent Candidate if Mr. McNichol had retired from the contest. The vote in Egreâ€" mont and Bentinck where the majority of the Independents were true to their principles and those of Conservative leaning remained loyal to their candid ate is surely sufficient to convince him of the foolishness of such reasoning, But say be would have received 500 of the 791 votes given to the Independent candidate, anc that is I think as large a proportion as he could possibly expect, and the result would still be his defeat, though not one of the remaining 291 votes were given to the Conservative The Independent candidate in the Dominion election received 1196 yvotes, in the Provincial election he received 601 vrotes or 405 less than in the Dom. electioa, which, taking into considerâ€" ation ‘some Reform votes Mr. Morgan says Mr Jamieson may nave got exâ€" plains the difference in the Independent vote of the two elections. At the recent Provincial election that party still existed, but not by any means so active and cohesive, and there is no doubt that a considerable portion of the Independent vote was transferred to the Conservative Candidateas Mr. Morgan‘s remaining in the field made it impossiâ€" ble to elect their own candidate. ky * KhkkY. ~ ~ AKhkk â€" * Thk: ~â€"*~~â€" ol At the time of the Dominion election the Patron or Independent element was much more active and cohesive and at that election remained true to their candidate.

Grey in which he says "Mr. Mcâ€" Nichol‘s staying in the field caused my defeat," Had Mr. Morgan given a little more thought to facts he would have seen that under existing circumstances his election was an impossibility. He made a good run, and got the Liberal vote loyally and with that he ought to be content, but the fact is still the same he could not bave been elected though the Independent â€" candidate had not been in the field. ly.

For the past two weeks a mild ex. citement has prevailed as the result ot charges tor violation of the Election Act on the License Act, by drinking Liquor during prohibited _ hours.

The other oneâ€"third goes to the government, and those among the convicted ones who are Conservatives (for there are both classes) will in a small way contribute to that much tatkedâ€"of surplas. The law recognises that the man who buys is violating law as well as the man who sells, and Inspector Harris is clearly within the line of his duty in proceeding against offenders.

Yours etc. OxrLooKER. Mar, 16th ‘08. Mount Prospective, (c) That the action of the Liberal party in the present Prov. election in 8. Grey has brought its weakness into prominence thus helping to strengthen the Conservatiye party. Messrs. John Scott and James Leask were in Durkham one day last week. Mr. 8. F. McComb visited his nephew Mr. D. McKinuon of the Corners last Wednesdav. Mr. Nixon‘s hittle girl is getting allright acain alter a severe illnoss. (a) That the Patron Independent vote in the Dom. election was the salyation of the Liberal party and gave them the seat in that election. (b) That Mr. Hardy would probably have an Independent supporter from 8. Grey to day instead of an ultra opâ€" ponent if the Liberal party had not acted thoughtlessly in the recent election. (d) That there is a substantial numâ€" ber of Independent yoters in the Riding who will look to men and acts rather than party in future elections. Several conclusions may be obtained from an analysis of the vote cast in the last Dom. and Provy, elections. The Independent yvote added to the Iiberal yote given to Mr. Morgan would have placed the Conservative Candidate in a decided minority, but surely Mr. Morgan is not so lacking in common reasoning as not to see that the Liberals, with Mr. Morgan as Canâ€" didate would not have recerved the Inâ€" dependent vote in the recent election and consequently could not win, FAIRWELL CORNERS.

A Nervous Toronto Woman Walked the Floor During the Night for Hours at a Timeâ€"She Makes a Statement. TORONTO, ONT.â€""I was troubled with nervousness. It was impossible for me to keep still and if the spells came over me during the night I had to get up and walk the floor for hours at a time. My blood was very poor and I was subject to bilious attacks. My feet would swell and I was not able to do my own houseâ€" work. I treated with two of the best physicians here but only received relief for a time. I became discouraged. One day a friend called and advised me to try Hood‘s Sarsaparilia. Ilaughed at theadâ€" vice but I was prevailed upon and proâ€" ecured one bottle. Before I used it all I began to feel better. Itook several botâ€" tles and also several boxes of Hood‘s Pills.

During the season the expeuses of the committce were $1, 406, and the average daily attendance was 1,400, the expense of providing a playground for each child during the summer being but little more than $1. Thero are few who would say that $1 spent in this way was not well spent. Here is an opportunity for some of our philanthropic women to go and do likewise. 34 3r dieditsiEeueateytpaic o [E Steitmaytmsy may m e rnran mm t y hy iencrayesnr sc 3 mffifrfl‘kr##:;{?fl e amexenpaeseaymstics C 1 Pn m irengiirett ie oi e temare The plan as put in operation is to hire a matron and assistant for each yard. The matrons are usually familiar with kindergarten methods. A load or two of sand dumped on the brick walks, a few simple toys and some skeins of worsted for crocheting comprised the equipment. The delights of playing in a clean sand heap, of knitting spool work and of such simple amusements soon lured hundreds of children from the foul, hot air of the cheap tenements and made happy the hearts of hundreds of mothers. At first the committee tried to make the yards in the rear of the tenement serve their purpose, but thoese were found to bo toosmall. At last the womâ€" en hit upon the plan of using the yards of the school buildings during vacation time. There was some opposition at first from the school committee, but after one trial had been given the committee no more objections were raised. Some philanthropic Boston women have realized this necessity and have made efforts to meet it, with considerâ€" able succoss. A committee belonging to the Massachusetts Emergency and Hyâ€" giene association has charge of the movement, and a knowledgo of their methods would be useful to the citizens of any locality. Of course space for playâ€" grounds in the crowdcd tenement disâ€" tricts, where the need was the greatest, was hard to find. On the other hand, playgrounds located at a distance from such districts would have been useless, for the children that it was intendod to benefit were those too young to go far from their homes.
