R Mackie said bie would not mnake a speech now, but would maire about 5soo dur- ing the coming camnpaigra. But lie oniy wanted an audience of one at a time. He boped every Liberal would foilow suit. He said that no doubt a gcod many shaky Lib- erals would be bougbt over by the Tories, and the Liberalr, would have to try to wira over enough Tories to make up for it. Mr. Mowbray declined, followed by Mr. T. Conant. Mr. King said the Liberals had made a rnistake a year ago ina getting a candidate too soon, and when they found there was no work to do bad quarrelled. The fault was that of tbe Dominion Goverrament, wbich had given out the cry of war too soon. His name bad been mentioned in connec- tion with the littie difficulties whicb had now passed away. Sucb was a mistake. He is a supporter of the Liberai candidate, who- ever tliat may be, and be hoped Mr. Burnett woold stili be the man. Dr. Rae said he is not a candidate, but will give bis time anad means to beip to eiect the candidate selected. Wm. Ross said be couid flot accept the candidature even if hie wisbed to. But the Liberals are sure of carrying the election, and he expected to see Mr. Burnett elected. Mr. Fowke said he was flot open to accept an>' public office. Had aiways been ira favor of Mr. Burneit, and is so stili. Mr. Burnett said he felt flattered tobe for the second turne chosen as the party candi- date. He would take a (ew minutes to con- aider the matter. When be again tooir the piatfornt alter ten minutes' consideration, tne said that on seeing the unanimity wbich prevails ina tbe meeting, and having beera pressed by friends, lhe would accept the nomination. He believes that Soîxth On- tario cara be redeemned by a large majority, a-ad be hoped that every Liberal ira South Ontario would do bis duty ira securing bis electioa. Theri Chairman Holliday called for the hearty support of every Liberalinir the com- irag election, said that the sympathy of tbe people is with the Liberal cause, and the re- suit wiil be a sweeping Liberal vmctory. Mr. M. GoId ntoved a vote of confi- dence in Hon. W. Laurier and Hon. John Dryden, and a declaration of the Liberals of South Ontario to stand by Mr. Burnett and carry bis election.

He visited bis charmer, both when she was staying witb ber aunt in Wbitby and after she had returned to Toronto. The young lady aiso, on several occasions, went to tihe home of his parents, who are weli.to- do fariner. residing at Columbus, near Whitby. Then- afiaire du coeur was a srnb- ject of conversation inaai the countryside. The infatuation of the defendant ira- creased. Numerous letters passed between tbe couple. Botb written and verbal pro- mises of marriage were made, says Miss Blair. On one occasion tbey were out waik- ing wben the fair Edith casually expressed the wisb that she possessed a certain amount of money. "Oh, V've got more than that," repiied the swain, anad (rom bis answer she beiieved bhat his fortune exceeded $75,00o. The course of their love ran wltbout in- terruption. Miss Blair dispensed with the attentions of a gentleman to wbom she had previously been engaged and wbose loss bhe now deplores. Not to be outdone ina self-sacrifice, McCuiloch in the month ol )ctober last wrote as foilows: «'I was out to Port Perry the other day, and while in the drug store I saw Miss _.She invited me to the bouse, and Iwent. When we got there I told ber that ail was over between her and myseif. She aid she would forgive me everything." Something was aISO added to the eftect bat the young woman couid keep ber money as the writer did flot want it! si ti (e ai A feature of tbe courtship was tbe great anxiety dispiayed bv the lover to have bis letters returned, but the plaintiff treasured thent too mach to reiinquisb possession, and there is now deposited witb ber iawyer a large bund[e of episties whicb wiil no doubt be of immense intert-st to bis Lordsbip and the farmets of York township who wili try tbe case. Up to about a month ago flot a cloud ap- peared on the amorous horizon. One day at the beginning of February McCralloch camne to see the plaintiff at ber aunt's bouse ina Wbitby. "iEditb," be said, "I bave sometbing to tell you." THE MOOY AItOVE THE BARTH. Ina a letter written subsequeratly the de- radant, who was now beconting sentiment- 1said : "Edie, I think you are as far above me After bis fiancee had entered upon a couîrse of coaxing, expecting, dou.btless, somne pieasant surprise, be proceeded : "'You Must consider everything between us at an end." Close quesrionirag, plaintiff says, could flot elicit the shadow of a reasou for this course, and none bas since been given. The sudden announcemnent was sontewbat of a shocir to Miss Blair. She re- turned to Toronto and was for some time very iM. Her quondant lover was telegraph. ed for, but did flot deigra either to present bimnself or send an araswer to ti e su mions. At the beginning of iast week be wrote urging the plaintiff to returra all bis letters. This letter and the one froin the iawyer de- manding compensation crossed ira the mail. The day following a writ was served upon MeCulloch. CoUncil met on Monday iast. Petition aslcing council to dispeàtise witb dog tax was presented. Also one from hotel keepers praying for reduction ira fefo be paid for license. P rayer of petitioners was not granted in cither case.
