`Ayn now the quostioni is, why did a Lzoitiieh of Toronto offer to present a copy of P_qine s Age of Reason to the Free . Lihrarjyi If he wished to create a sen- sation, be we successful. The library board had a lively discussion on` the offer and finally referred the matter to the L library committee, and orthodox Toronto waits with baited breath the momem (0 umxc me Iloxulucuzs LU uvu uu.uI.Au:u ezwu.

Mr. Switzef felt that he was too far 1ahead of -the `age. He would wait until women got the suffrage before he came seriously before aC0nvention. In fa,c_t he thought there were but two candidates be- fore the` meeting, Dr. Wylie and Mr. .\Ioberly. Both were goorlmen, and he would do his level beat for the man that was selected.

He ` was in favor of female suffrage and when it `was granted he and Mr. Switzer would have :1` race. He was not in the field at present, but would support to the best of his ability the candidate that received the nomination. He luul strong personal feelings but they would not interfere with his political ones. 7.. .1 11 191. ,1 ,, 1 rv Uunu uuu ......- .3. Dr. Kirkland had felt quite assured up to ten minutes before that he would have received the uqa.nimous nomlnutiox. on the first ballot, But to his surprise he learned from Mr. Switzer that he was not before the Convention at all. He meekly sub mitted, but he would remember it to Mr. Switzer. It was perhaps just as well, how- ever, as he could not have ' accepted the nomination. ' As it "Was known to the Con- vention that its respected President would not be :1. candidate there were but two be- fore them. Their duty was to select the strongest one.

Mr. Thomas Long thanked the Conven- tion for nominating him, but he was not in the eld. He was there; however, loyally and faithfully to support the nominee of the Convention. There were but two men before it, both good men. The Conserva- tives should understand that it would be their own fault if their candidate was not returned. At the last election the County town question was introduced, and as more senseless not could scarcely have been com- mitted. There was nothing in it at . all, The main question for us to settle is Mowat. That should take precedence of everything. L, n. u1'..I:.. .....1 `M - 1L`I'nIm..1.. mm...

The aair was _a com-' plicated one, from the fact that there were , two respondents-the member elect and his Returning Oicer.Samue1 Lount.

FULL.ATTENDANCI OF DELEGATES According to announcement the Con- servatives of West Simcoo met in Conven- tion at Stayner on Friday last to `nominate a standard bearer for the approaching con- test. It was generally felt there would not be much time to lose, and this feeling was strengthened by the.fact that Mr. Phelps had alreadv put himself in the eld with- out waiting for his party to renominate him. Although there was but four days to notify the whole riding the delegates mus- tered in full strength. Our advice was followed and nearly every polling sub-di- vision in the riding was represented. The enthusiasm which provoked this prompt turn out was evident at every stage of the meeting. There was but one desire---that was to nominate the strongest man avail- . able, There was but one determination- that was to spare no legitiinate effort to elect him when, nominated. .With this common object in view it is not snrprising that the meetingwas harmonious and that the proceedings went right through from ;_ beginning to end without]; hitch. ` .. - Thu montin9`wa.s`ca.lled for one `o'clock nil. w1rLIr:`P-;ii`\I.aNlnIoUsLir_ NOMINATED.

This year, although they have used quite as much material, their contribution to the revenue will not ex- `ceed 875,000. The explanation is that they have encouraged Canadian Manu- flctures of every kind, the tariff in it - measure compelling them to do so. 1u_- stead of importing their cars from Day- ton,O., they now get them from the Co- bourg car shops. Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, and other manufacturing V centres have supplied an innite variety of other articles used in the operation or ametruction of the road, which in the previous year had :0 be imported from the United States simply because they were then not made in Canada. It is es- timated thnt in this way the C. P.

This policy of de- veloping Canadian industry will he as- aiduously pursued by_ the company in_ the future. It is manifestly to their in-E terest to encourage alike the manufactur- es of the East and the settlement of the Northwest, as from these sources the freight by which the road will live must be drawn..
