Aug; :39“: Rev. Dr. Jan-dine. The Liberals of the Electoral Riding of Leeds met in the town hall, Delta. on Thursday last, to select a candi~ date to represent the party in the ap- prOaching Local election. 0. D. Cowan. Esq: of Gananaque, President of the Reform Association. was in the ehair. On motion, Omer Brown, E3q., was requested to get as secretory. L TIIOROUGIILY REBREBINTATIVE TKERING FROM; ALL PABTfi OF THE RIDING. huc UVWI ‘UI‘AIJI . 6 It was finally arranged that the old organization should continue, and that a Secretary be appointed to act for the Association in the Local election. Mr. N. 11. Beecher, of Toledo, was unanimously chosen to fill the office. The list of delegates from the various municipfiliues was then called, and the representatives from Kitley were introduced to the Association by xhe President. Mr. Beecher. of Kit- ley, and Mr. Dooher. of Elmsley, made suitable remarks. The President, in Openilig the pro- ceedings, said that an the boundaries of the Riding of South Leeds did not coincide with that of Leeds for Local representation, he thought it wouid be well to reorganize the Association or else organize a. new Association for the Local Ritiing. Mr. Cowan (chairman) said they had met to-day to select their standard bearer in the coming elections. Al- though some thought the riding was irredeemably Conservative, and that with the large odds against them it would be useless to put a man in the field, he thought it would be well to nominate their strongest man and work as hard {or him as if they were sure of his election. Mr. Fredenburgh was of the opinion that they should select a candidate and run him for all he Was worth. New issues were constantly arising, “151 a large number of young men, thanks to the new Franchise Act passed by the Mowat Government, would have a vote for the first time at this election. These young men would be discourag- ed if a candidate were not selected. Mr. E. C. Sliter agreed with the last speaker, and gave some intad reasons why the meeting ehoul select a candidate and work for his election. Mr. C. E. Briuon moved that. the convention proceed to the selection of p candidate. The motion carried unapimoualy. Mr. T. K. Scovil said that they did not Want any small man as their candidate, and as Mr. Fredenburgh had made a very close run, considetmg all theoiroumstancea. at the last election, and as there was a serious split in the opposite party, he thought there was a fair prospect of electin him. He therefore moved Mr. redenburgh’s candidature. 7 ( Cheers.) _ ~ danger. The Tory party “are mixing these mics now that they found they could not get the French Cuwiu vote Minus. 8. C. Slitor, T. K.

Mr. Judd seid he was 3 firm sup- rter of the Mownt Administration, use he believed it was the best Government under the sun. and could be entirely trusted with the efl'sirs of this Province. He knew, as also did Mr. Fredenburgh, who had experience in regard to the matter, that when a timber limlt'wu sold by the Mowst Government it was sold for all it was worth. While Mr. Meredith was re- udiating all connection with the No opery cry, his orgnn, the Mail, was spreading the cry all over the land. He concluded by asking the pertinent question, “ What has Dr. Preston ever done for us 9” He was a good sort of fellow, but had not got energy or in- fluence enough to do very much for the Riding. But by returning a sup- porter of the Government in the per- son of Mr. Fredenburgh, we would be certain of getting our just proportion of the gifts at the disposal of the Government. Mr. Fred'enburgh said that he had not the slightest idea that he ‘would be asked to be the candidate by the con- vention. There "were a number of good. men namdrmen who had no railroad or other nine of .a public nao ture to answering; There was a time when he aeceptedaa nomination at the hands of his friends of South Leeds cheerfullfr. But as old age and the cares of ife pressed heavily upon him he began to feel reluctance. It was a very trying thing for him to decide if he should accept a nomination or not, when pressed so hard by such a large number of old friends who had stood by him so bravely before. He hardly knew how to refuse, and it was only in the hope that he would be able to assist in sustaining the Mowat Ad- ministratiOn that he would consent. He referred to the cry that was being sounded from end to end of the Pro- vince, and he would ask his opponents whether, if the Protestants were in the same minority in the Province that the Catholics now were. they would be satisfied with or accept any- thing less than the Catholics were asking for. The Conservatives were stating that a large proportion of the ofiices in the giit of the Ontario Gav- ernment weae being filled by Roman Catholics. What are the facts ? Out of the 40 sherifi‘s there was but one Catholic, and among 53 registrars only five. In every department of the pub- lic service, so far alas he could hear, the proportion was about the same. He touched briefly on the separate school question. He showed that the Mine:- of a property, if be occupied it, or if it was rented then the tenant, had the right, whether Protestant or Catholic, to say where the school taxes should be paid. Messrs. Cowan, Scovil and Sliter do- clined being candidates. A ballot being taken, Mr. Freden- burgh was declared the almost unani- mous choice of the convention. In a few feeling rem’arks he formall ac- cepted the nomination, and urgeg his friends in all p’grt! of the riding to go to work with a, will,as it would be im- possible for him to do more than hold a few meetings at central points. He strongly urged ,the avoidanee of all harsh and unseemly remarks about his opponents during the campaign. :A number of meetings Twiil be ad- dressed by Mr. Fredenburgh durin the contest, due notice of which w' b9 given. ‘ ‘ ' - Eventl of the Surrounding Township. mama by Our Own “drunks Com-pendants.

Mr. Editor: Please sllowlme ashort space in our valuable paper to merely make regmnee to the would-be critic- ism of the Hon. 0. F. Fraser's meeting here. which appeared in Fridav's issue of the Times, and which evidently we. written b thatmagnanimous Torylum- inary oft is place who, he asserts, was present at the meetir?. Of course it can beeasily observed rom scanning the piece that the luminary most as- suredly misses his calling when he drops the hoe to take up the pen. for verily 'tis nbt mightier than the sword when wielded by him. He probably would have done very well for a repor- ter of the dark ages, when he could have displayed his i oranee to better advantage ; but evi entlg nature has made a mistake and ban ed him down to the 19th century. May the time soon come when we will be relieved from those who know it all and yet are sadly in the dark. But this poor, dc- luded creature gives himself away bed- ‘ly when he expresses his idea of what a successful meeting should be. He says he expected to hear the “ biggest racket" he had heard for a long time when Mr. Fraser 5 eke, and that the meeting was a fizz e because the im-r mense crowd was orderly and genteel, thereby showing their respect to the ladies present. Therefore we must conclude that these days of civilization and advancement are not as congenial to him as the old days of the Beverley riots, ” big rackets" etc., when they used to cry, “Down wid ye rebels; Ye’re agin the Government!" I would have paid no heed to the piece of trash in the Timns, and would probably not have noticed it. if my attention had not been directed thereto by a prominent Conservative, who laughingiy referred to statements in it which we all knew to be utterly false. And having a natural respect for my native village I take this method of preventing the idea going abroad that there were not Editor Rr'porter: The Rev.
