A i$ LEFT TO OPPOSITION. -- Liberals Not Taking Part In The Debate, Ottawa, March 15.-The debate ¥p- upon the address assumed a decided- ly acrimonious tone this afternoon and evening, Opposition speakers were visibly annoyed at the failure of the government supporters to parti cipate in the debate, and in the evening personalities were resorted to, apparently with the design of goading them into a reply. The occupants of the government benches, however, un- concernedly listened to the attacks made, and, with the exception of Mr, Bourassa, who sharply countered the attack by I. Casgrain, paid no at- tent on to the dgnunciations from the benches to the Teo oft of the speaker, Hon. Mr. Haggart, W,[H. Bennett, KE. D. Smith and Jabel Rokinson parti- cipated in the debate. Mr. Smith, in a temperate speech, advocated the establishment of a Canadian navy #nd of an experiment froit farm "in the Niagara district. , Mr. Bennett charged that Lis. opponent in the last campaign and a member of parlia- ment had both received commissions for the sale of a dock at Midland to the government, After routine business Lautiwr, in reply toFgR. 1. 'Borden, promised to have the "correspondence in. reference 40. the amendments to the G. T.

If the feelings exhibited at the ward meetings last night, called to aid- in the securing of the passage of the lighting by-law, can be considered as | showing 'public sentiment, then - they | sugur well for the success of the by- ilaw. These mcetings were arranged with a two-fold purpose, viz, to or- ganize to" aid in assisting in the adoption of the measure, and to dif fuse such informaticn as was deemed necessary in educating the ratepayers a8 to the necessity of and benefits to be obtained from municipal ownership of the lighting plant. Not a dissenting voice was raised, nor a discordgnt note struck at any of the meetings, though criticism was invited and "antis" asked to present -their side, if any were present, but these challenges were unheeded, so it was assumed that there was, not any opposition to the by-law. The ratepayers of Vie torig ward met in the senate chamber of Queen's Uni versity, and a large number assem- bled. Speech-making was not indulged in, those attending confining their «f forts towards comple ting organization and arranging to man the polls and get out the voters on Monday. Cat araqui and Frontenac ward property owners met in the city council cham- ber, a number attending. After the principal business, viz., organizaticn, had been completed, addresses were delivered by Alds. McFarlene and Me Leod, Capt. Gaskin, J. D, Thompson, D. Reeves and others, gll favoring the purchase of the plant by the city. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and considered very satisfactory for the I-success of the by-law. The, Rideau ward rally took place at McConnell' hotel Williamsville. There were about sixty persons' pres- lent. Ald. Meek occupied the cheie, and opened proceedings with a refer ence to municipal ownership in Eng land and Canada. He pointed out that there were failures in the old | land in the electric light and gas busi { nese, but these failures were owing, | apparently, to weakness of manage | ment. Wherever there was efficient and vigorous management, there appeared | to be success. In Canada the experi | ence was somewhat limited. Many towns and cities had entered upon | municipal ownership, ro far as the | water and the light business is con cerned, and they appeared to be mak ing. good progress. Personally he fa vored the commissioners, eventually, for the reason that they occupied of fides for longer periods and would be {in a position to continue policy for a certain time. John Mcintyte entered fully details of the arbitration conc ering the value of the plants. He made re ference to the appeals from court to court, and the fnal judgment in favor of the city by the privy council. He made it clear that the taking over of the electric light and gas plants would be an advantage to the city, and he encouraged the property owners to do all in their power to make the elec tion of Monday a success. He gave some very useful instructions in re gard to the manner of conducting the | voting. a certain into the | There were also addresses by Ald { Knapp, -Fx-Mayors R. J. Carson and N. C. Polson, Dr. Browh and Col. Hunter, all of whom spoke hopefully oi the work they had in hand, and | gave the assurance that everything possible would be done by the quali fied voters to make their work effec | tual. |. A motion was also passed endors | ing the proceedings of the council to wards the purchase of the electric light and gas plants, and then the meeting proceeded to organize for Monday's | campaign. The meeting gin rally was regarded as 4 grea: success. With but one exceptior ery mer chant doing business on Pr s street {who has a horse, has promised to have the same at the polls on Mon | day, at the disposal of the city to bring votes to the booths.
