The weaknesses of the Government were exposed, the true nancial position of the province was laid bare, and the various planks of Mr. _Whitney s policy sent con- vincinglvhome to the minds afsll, with the result that the vote of Tuesday was re- corded mote intelligently than heretofore. In III 1 ti, ,, ____A__ Mr Thompson, of Centre Simcce, appear- edlfor the first time before the electors in 1894, and then commenced an acquaintance between him and the electors, which ripen- ed into friendship as time passed. so that in the late contest electors knew that in the Conservative candidate they had a man of integrity and ability representingapolicy undoubtedlv in the best interests at Ontario. Mrf Miecampbellput up a winning ght in East Simcoe. He had heavy opposition to contend with, but he stood manfullv by his course in parliament, and `thieves suf- cient to satisfy the unbiased elector that to allow such an able supporter of Ontario : rights to be defeated would be a bitter reec-1 tion on the intelligence of the electors of Esstsimcoe.

' Too much praise cannot be given the many local speakers who addressed meetings throughout the four ridings in behalf of the four candidates. A signicant feature ot 1 the many local speeches was the evidence of wide and accurate knowledge of the ques- E tions of the day. This qualied the speak- ers to knock out the many straw men put up by local Refcrmers, and no person saw the poor fabric of these will-o -the-wisps sooner than electors. Facts are stubborn. things and cannot be destroyed by the feeble kicks of fiction. To none are the splendid results of the campaign more satisfactory than to the many able laymen throughout this county and Cardwell who took the stump in many cases at the sacrice oftime and business to champion the good cause of Mr. Whitney and his colleagues and to do their part in ushering in the "much needed change. ' Excitement about the polling booths in l town on Tuesday -was intense all day. Both I parties were well represented and did the best they could for their man. Forecasts of the result were both numerous and varied, but it was generally conceded that Thomp-' son would have a majority here. though, perhaps, not so great as 97. .Poll was closed at ve.o elock andthe outcome of the ballot was anxiously awaited by a crowd of "people at each polling booth. At seven o'clock the respective headquarters of both political parties were crowded. and so .in- tense wss the ism at the Conservative rooms that the Town Hall was engaged, `and in an incredibly short time it was packed to the. doors._ Dr. Falling and RJ. -Fletcher read out the returns and kept theanxious throng well postedin the gains throughout: the province: ` Whenyietory for7'1`h ompson` was `Announced `the cheeringrwas tremendous, and hstsiand handkerehiefs-.we re*_waved in `wlld_eonfnsion..

He said that Conservatives had great reason to congratulate themselves on what they had done that day. They had redeemed Centre Simcoe which had been looked upon. for years as a Grit hive. Not `only had theibig Grit majority of former years been pulled down, but a Conservative candidate had been placed at the head of `the poll. He then announced that theCitizens Band was in waiting and would head a pro- cession about the principal streets of the town. The immense crowd now fell in `behind the band and paraded along Mulcas- ter, Dunlop, Elizabeth. John, Ross. Bayelde and Dunlop streets, back to the market. Cheers were given along the way and every one knew that a, great victory had been won. At the market three cheers were given for the Queen, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Whit- ney.
