Though only some sixty delegzites would have been allowed to vote, had a. vote been taken, more than double that number of Refurmers were present, either as proxies. or otherwise, and every municipality in. the Riding was fully represented. The pro- ceedings throughout were chm-acterized_by the greatest enthusiasm and unanimity. 'l`he following gentlemen were proposed and , seconded as candidates: Wm. Lmznt, `uh... I! I"!

Messrs, Lount, Ross, Hurkins and Melville briey thanked their support- ers for bringing their names before the Convention, when each and all retired in ` favor of Mr. Phelps, without It Lmllol lacing called for or taken. Mr.` Phelps. who was . loudly cheered, made a.bricf but stirring uddrens in accepting the nomination, and tlmuked them for the high honor they had conferred upon him in unanimously elect- ing him as their standard-bearer in the contest for the representation of West Sim- aoe in the Ontario Legislature. We need scarcely any that Mr. Phelps candidature receives our heurtieat u.ppl`u\'n.l; us we have several times stated in these columns that, `j in our opinion, he was the strongest avail- : nblu Reform candidate in this constituency. 5 He is not an extreme pnrtyvman; and, eltlumgh giving the Government on inde- pendent support, he is not the man to sur- render his private judgment blindly to any party, but will, at all times, conscientiously record his vote for these measures which, iiu his rm belief, will best promote the I welfare of the Province as :1 whole, and ,7 West Simcoe in p:n'ticulu.r. Roforluers of [ West Simcoe, you have an able candidate, Elect him. You can most certainly do so, -if you like, let his opponent be who lieumy.

He said that there was in the town an} vicinity what might lk termed a revival of letters, which was proved by the fact that the at- tendance at the High School was about double what it was durinz the correspond- ing periqd of last year, numbering 123`bo~na de pupils. In some High schools, to make 9. ' big show, scholars were admitted who were not entitled, and who were not submitted to the test of having to pass an mtrsnce ex- amination. But the $h.Qola\`61"wl1ich he had charge confined itself strictly to High ' School work. Over 50 of the pupils were ` from a distance and had to board in town. by which the town was beneiitted, This increased attendance, tn course, necessr tnted the employment of a larger staff of teachers; and int-his connection he might be pardoned for stating his belief that no more competent-or more `thoroughly trustworthy teachers could be foundany where than were those on his` stall`. '1-le alwaysfelt zirelnctance to approach "the Board on any request, because he had i found the gentlelnenv composing it ever 1 _ ready. toaccude tohis wishes in anything ` tending to advance the School, therefore l he never troubled them except when to de- ` lay doing so would prove detrimental to . `- the school. He was quite prepared to ad- `1 mit that, of late years, Barrie `had done 9 nol;-ly in- the matter of school accommoda- than hum though ns wasthe casm.he . very much questioned whether ' there 1.
