Sir George had been a 'member oid the local government for many years, had served it--as no ome has before or since--in the Education Depart- ment, and later in the Finance De partment. He was the premier at a period 'whea politiaul opinion was undergoing some changes, and hen, | in certain elections, he was libelled ! and lampoonod as all that was wick- | od. and bad.

But he was ac- | cused of every political iniquity, and | eventually defeated on an appeal tof the people, retired from the legisla! ture.

It is true that he difiered | irom his party on the reciprocity question, and' on others, just as; members of the conservative party; differed with their leaders originally. | The Mail and Toronto News are ri- vals in the laudation of Sir George Ross, in the axaltation of his name.
