THY TORIES WERE TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED. The Liberal Workers Put Up a Magnificent Fight--Story of the Day and of the Returns -- Speeches at the City Hall. Tor the fourth successive time, Kingston sends a liberal as her repr: senitutive to the Ontario legislature, On Thursday, Fdw. J. Bh Pense de the day's battle, and sure of success. An immense crowd of people ed in front of the Whig ce shortly five o'clock to see the returns bulletined, Inside were many of those who had borne the burden of the day's fighting. A quarter past five o'clock came, but no returns were to hand. At twenty winutes after five, the result of Ontarig, No. 3, arrived, 16 to 26 in Pense's favor. Then fol lowed in rapid succession Nos. 4, 5 gather alter 5 6 ana 16, all showing majorities for the liberal standard-bearer, and being re eéived with loud cheers. Then came No. 14 with a majority for Shaw, but as the other returns follows rapidly, there was never a doubt as to the ul- timate result. When Portsmouth's magnificent majority of fifty-one, or a vote of over two to one in Pense's fa- vor, arrived, it was' thought the cheering would never cease. Ports- month nobly did its duty, Finally only No. 8 remained to be bulletined, feated: the conservative candidate, but it turned in a majority of twen- nsimsssss-- -- EDW. J. B. PENSE, Member-Elect mayor Shaw, by a majority of 157. That Mr. Pense would win the King ston seat was thought by the tory campaigners to be too ridiculous for serious contemplation. But the. libe- rals knew better, They had sized up the whole situation, and with their, admirable organization, figured out a final majority of 150 -- an estimate | which was remarkably close to that, actually received. The conservatives counted upon winning by from 100 to | 200 majority, but, like many other people they proved to be very bad #t | arithmetic. They failed to realize | that they had run up against one of the strongest candidates the grit party could put forth, and that an election eannot be won by abuse or by the glad hand. The liberals of Kingston have every reason to feel proud of their victory, and so has the member-elect. Not since the days of Sir John A Macdonald has there been such a keen- ly contested election in Kingston. Op- posed to Mr. Pense was the strongest and most popular man the conserva tive party could find in ite ranks. He was chief magistrate of the city, and actively engaged in political warfare for years, And it is this tory Goliath that the liberal standard-bearer has made to bite the dust, and by, so do- ing proved to the enemy that the Kingston grits were a united body. Remarkably quiet was the contest until a few days ago when the elec tion wrath began to break out. = On Tuesday and Wednesday many bets were made, most of them even, but in some cases a few of the enthusiasts on either side giving odds. The tory gathering on Wednesday night made the Whitneyites very cocky. But they didn't count upon the strength of their opponents, and they did count upon the support of people who mever intended to give their votes. And on election day there was an awful sur prise. Before eleven o'clock in the morning it was clearly seen that Pense was in the lead, and keeping up a good pace. At noon, the liberals were confident that they had the 'tory candidate beaten. Voting was very brisk in the morning at the majority of the sub- divisions, and in some, few votes re- mai to be polled after four o'clock. When the polls closed, the The Election Returns Miy please some but disappoint others, but our shoes please every: body.

Our oppon- ents brought oot the strongest they couid get, and had behind them all the material for a good fight, I thank you ever so heartily for my elo tion, and promjse to be faithinl to Kingston's interests in every way, with every bit of ahility in my power (ap plause) I want to thank the men who stood by the Rosa government, and | pever will forget each and all of you so long as my memory lasts." The speech was finished amid hearty applause, and then the andience called for Hon. Willism Harty. -- Ha there, and was most enthusiastically received. "Of all .the victories we have ever had," he said, " none com- pare for a moment with that which we have achieved to-day. Both sides worked. Neither asked for quarter, or gave it. Both chose their best man. I never saw sich a straight party fight. I am proud that you stood by your candidate, by your friends and by the best government Ontario ever had. Give our opponents a penny whistle, and they will make more noise in five minutes than we could in five weeks. They have a number of men and a newspaper, and a set of} writers who are wholly careless of the truth. In fact, as far as the news paper is cdncerned, it prefers to print lies instead of the truth." ©" Harty, how are ye?" voice in the crowd. S All right, my boy," was the re ply. Going back to his theme, the speaker said: "A cleaner election and a cleaner paper than the never seen, (cheers). I am proud of the men who handle the pen in that office. We have a combination here," as he swung his hand over the audi ence, "* and great efforts were made to break it. 'The reform party has con trol of this city. Divisions 22 and 22a, Victoria ward, were hard spots. The. conservatives declared they would have a majority of from sixty to cighty there, but we held that down to only eleven against us. 1 am prouder of the good old grits of King- ston than I ever was before." The erowd next called for one of its old fighters--ex-alderman John Me Kelvey He, too, was given a splen did ovation. '1 pever was so proud of the reiorm party as I am to-night," he declared, " but 1 am too tired to make mich. of a speech at present. | never saw such hard work done in my life. As long as we stick together we can down the tories every time I thank you all for the splendid way in which you worked to-day." Michael Sullivan next mounted the platioem in response to a hearty call. Ho characterized this as a Harty-Pense election, a combination which the tories couldn't beat. They could cir culate all the lies they liked, but we will offset them wit our ballots. " The flags ave at hali-mast now for Morgan, all right," concluded Mr, Sullivan amid applause. Robert Crawford was the last speak er. All that the liberals required to elect their candidate was concentrated effort. The majority the boys had rolled up was a proof of his statement. The liberals have a combination which can win Kingston every time At the close of the addresses, the men gathered around Mr. Pense, and heartily , congratulated him. B.C. Dean, 'the energetic secretary of the campaign, also came in for many warm congratulations on the good work he accomplished. shouted A Pathetic Scene. Let us turn aside a moment to an- other scene. It was a sorrowful crowd that stood around the News' office as the hour of six approached. Silence prevailed, Inside were gathered the tory chiefs who but twenty-four hours previous had been so defiant. When the final returns were in, only a few remained with the man who had borne the burden for them Mayor Shaw stood upon the office steps and made a brief speech in which he said: "Boys, T have been defeated, but by the most unserupu- lous methods « ever practised by a political party in Kingston. We have had some of the pluggers here, but we plugged some of them before they got away. If Mr. Whitney gains power, we intend to have something done to stop these unscrupulous prac tices. I regret that I am not at the head of the polls today. I haven't had the support promised me, but 1 feel sure I have at least many friends." The mayor was cheered when he concluded. Contest Jottings. Thanks. Ross did win. We told you so. The liberals buckled in. Kingston remembered Ross Kingston is satisfied with Ross. Some prominent conservatives voted for Pense. The Whig extra was on the streets 4 at an early hour. Frontenac was the only ward give a majority against Pense. Frontenac will be in the liberal col- um at next general election. The Whig will now resume its work, to help build up Kingston and On tano.. We will put away for future refer ence the prophecies Whitney and other partiés, Both candidates reside in Sydenham ward, but Pense carried off the honors in that section. Tet us say that the Whig is never an aggressor, It hits, and hits hard, when attacked. Mayor Shaw told the le why 'be was Pe elected. He atid he didn't get support promi im. - Mr. Pense is grateful to the liberal 'workers who toiled nobly. Their | equals would be bard to find. The mayor will continue to wear his gold chain of offier, and rule the naughty grits in the city council. | Yesterday there were 3971 : ast.

Al large crowd gathered in the city hall last evening to hear the returns as announced by the local managers of the C.P.R. and G.N.W. telegraph companies." There was plenty of en thusinsmn shown, and the various gains and losses were hailed with de light by the party followers.
