FRIDAY AUG not pretending to inspiration some of our cotemporaries seem to infer because Hod Postmaster General happens to be the representa tive of Old North York we are inclin ed to the conviction tbat the next Do minion election will be held before the coming winter mouths arrive At least present indications lead to that conclusion Hence under the circum stances we consider it fee wise and prudent for the Executive Com mittees of both North York and West Ontario Reform Associations to ar range at an early date for catling Nominating Conventions so that candi date mar be chosen and then be Id position to avail themselves of oppor- which fall fairs and other pub lic and social gatherings afford at this season of the year for coming in con tact with large numbers of the dec- and also of exchanging views relating to the political issues before the people- So far as the Dominion at large is concerned the outlook for the Govern ment is very cheering indeed notwith standing the sensational twaddle which certain Opposition journals in dulge in by way of whistling to keep up the courage of the rank and file of their party following The country continues to give unmistakable evi dence of its appreciation of the rief Administration Indeed the ab sence of any popular revulsion of sentiment against them is no table thruout the Dominion On the contrary there appears to be a con census of opinion that tie abiding con fidence which the Government has in spired among all classes of the people has been so firmly established as to ensure a triumphant victory in preaching appeal to the country Sir Tupper of course indulges in his to boast but he did the same thing previous to the last when he enjoyed toe prestige of con trolling the of the coun try and then failed He

split Mr Lennox has in Government by party but have no use for hidebound on either side In our opinion there are many men in this constituency more liberal- minded politically than Mr Lennox and who would better represent the minority as well as the majority if elected to Parliament and that is one of reasons why we are opposing Mr Lennox Our friend of the En terprise will discover before the elec tion is over that there is much dissat isfaction with he choice of Mr Len nox and that ho will be kept very busy coaxing to his aid strong Conser vatives who have declared that they will not vote for him We did not create this created it his overanxiety to get into Parliament in China Minister Congers latest message from says the situation is des perate as the Legations are under by the
