In the deféht of Mr. Calder, the Gov- ernment Candidate, South Ontario has not alone done an injustice to itself but has shown ingratitude to a gentleman who so ably and con. sistently represented this riding and was an authority in the House on all leading questions, but more especially on agricultural affairs; one who in the past did so much to drive from power one of the worst governments that ever existed in modern times, and it was by his, together with others, untiring energies and exertions that object was accomplished. That Mr. Calder had a prior claim to repre sent this riding, at this particular time, all having any knowledge of his true worth, as a public man, will readily admit. South Ontario to go unrepresented or misrepre- *| sented is pot a very desirable attain- ment and sooner or later the electorate will rise in their might and endeavor to ascertain why such should be the case.. When an up-to-date, progressive and just Government, of the Whitney Gov- ernment stamp, exists--one that fills the bill as regards its obliga- tions, in every respect, to the peo- ple, is in power, an Opposition, more especially one of the dimen- sions of the alleged one elected, can- not ibly be of any, avail, .and oo sooner South oA ee 2 that {fest iin ty the better. Weis Dont Poss Paexy! Our town showed superior in- telligence, good tact and a com- mendable appreciation 'of good gov- ernment by rolling up a majority for Mr. Calder, an ardent supporter of the Whitney Government which has been endorsed throughout this entire Province by tremendous ma- jorities both in city, towa and rural communities, South Ontario stand- ing almost alone in Qpposition to be pitied if not depised. The more the proposed change in the assessment law, allowing the exemptions of "improvements," and laying the whole tax on land, is considered, the less does it seem to be designed to Serve the ends which it advocates €laim fof it. The change will not reduce by one dol- lar the amount of taxes to be col- lected. It will erly alter the incident of taxa! Aud if the taxes are taken off houses and laid upon the land only, it is surely go- ing toadd to the burden upon the small householder, ' The man with 261) the big house, with the most expen [sive "improvements," will be the atest gainer, and he will gain at ie expense of his 'Jess luxuriously on oeighbour. ' It is all very ell to shout against taxing '"im- prov Bus, it is a good gentleman in town, in passing the whose insincerity is that of the Rowell | site, and one competent to judge: who probably has traveled abtowd morethan all the other citinepgpicis Port Perry put together, made the remark, 'that the lot wag a magni: ficent ong for the purpose for which it is intended, but to do justice to the site on which they: building should stand, it should Be at least sixty feet from the street. Another party, a strong supporter of the above suggestion, remarked, that the erection of statuary and a fountain would materidlly add to the beauty and appeatatia of the d Sir ¥ if and . even had sufficient confis '| dence in his scheme, to say he believed he might guarantee a thousand dollar fund for one of them and he had no doubt that the admirers of the other would readily raise an equal amount for the other statue.

The beauty of public buildings consists materially in placing them a considerable dis- tance from the street--take the City Hall in Toronto, the front of which is one hundred feet from the street. The People's Verdict. No Government eould ask more of the hands of the voters than what has been rendered the Whit- ney Government in this election. It would be impossible for a Gov- ernment to receive a heartier testi monial of confidence from all the people or 8 warmer commendation of its record and policy than is con- veyed in these election returns: Clearly, if the people had had their way the pummber of Government candidates lected by acclamation would have been twice as large as the high-record number actually so elected. Sir James Whitney has now full warrant for going forward along the lines of the p gress ive policy: to his enquiry if it is theit he proceed to press upon the Do- minion Government the province's claim for a Dominion subsidy on the The Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway : that ha adapt his road-making policy to the Domin- ion Government's plans of co-opera- tion ; that he create a department of the Goverment to'take over the aflairs now in the hands of the Hydro-Electric Commission ; that he continue in his policy for the development of Northern Ontario, for the promotion of Agriculture, and for the general progress of this great province. Nevergwere Gov- ernment and people more of one mind than are Government and people of Ontario to-day. While in both senses of 'the term Sir James Whitney is fully possessed of the popular will, his opponents have also an unmistakable under- standing of it. This second rati- fication of the Whitney Govern- ment's policy and record at the polls must shattet the last remains of hope to which the adherents of the Ross system clung. It must put a final quietous on the notion that the people could be rallied hack ta the men and to 'the stand- carried the town by 15 and riding by the magnificent aj of 800.
