He is not only an eloquent and witty speaker, but he js keen in debate, clever in discussing the fin ances, able and judicious. He has the right material in him for a cabinet minister, and no doubt his abilities will be awarded in time. He is a worthy successor to the late Hon. C. .

Ross is looking for their aid. Electors, mark the first name on the ballot. The name is that of Pence, Men who confess they "'cannot see Teyond their noses" gre not the men to govern Ontario. "Pense "* will be the top name on the hallot. It will be there when the votes gre counted, Every exchange that: comes to band is full of good news of the suc gess of the Rows party. Mr. Whitney léads the tories of the province to-day, but who will lead them when the legislature assembles ? " Build up Ontario" is the Ross watchword, Kingston must help him to da it by sending a liberal to sup- port him. Don't make any mistake this time, the ballot has great power. You hold the power; make that power felt in Kingston. Every vote obtained for Pense, Ly liberals, will increase his majority, Let Rose see that Kingston recognizes his help to her institutions. "IL will support Pense," said an in- dependent 'for he can do the best for Kingston in the legislature. I vote for good benefits to Kingston," According to the old Scotch saying it will not be time for a change until after the elections are over, "Change not a clout till May be out." The liberals are happy.

Have you done a little towards securing a good victory ? If not, why not ? Belleville Ontario: The campaign in Kingston is 5, spirited one, but from reports we receive from Kingston people we judge that Mr. Pense's elec tion is certain. Premier Ross has well 'adapted the motto of Norway te this province: " Spirit, loyalty, valor, and whatever elevates a nation, let the world learn from Ontario." Kingston has been well treated hy Ross administration. To hold what we have and get more will require the presence of a liberal in the Jogis lature. Vote for Pense. The tory papers have already de creed the end of the Ross government on the 20th inst. "The men that told the lion's skin while the beast lived was killed in hunting for him." The little finger of the government's pulp policy contains more promise for the advantage of Ontario than the whole body of the vagueness and impracticmbilities which may be called the opposition policy. The liberals of Kingston have heen true to their province, to do all in their power to sustain the Ross gov- ernment and elect ~~ Pense. A week's hot campaign will have good results on May 20th. Liberals Huckle is a vote for » to m. The Belleville Intelligencer thinks the Whig should not say anything about Mr. Pense's candidature because he is its proprietor. the Intelligencer over its proprietor when he was a candidate in North Hastings make him blush ? Not much. The arrival of the schooner Oliver Mowat in the harbor this morning put fear into 'the - hearts of many tories, They regarded the appearance of this craft as an omen of their de- feat. It seemed that the shade of the "grand old man" had appeared - to warn them of their fate. 4 "Let us put up a fight honorable to ourselves and to the party to which we belong, and if we do that we need have no fear of the result." That is what the liberal candidate, Mr. McCart, Stormont, declares. The sentiment is worth repeating on de. halt of every liberal candidate in the province. Did you vead last sight the con fident words of Hon. John Dryden as to the result of the clection : "The people are well satisfied with On- tario's prosperity, and they have not the slightest intention to turn the government ont.
