So, as a bribe to the . people of that province, they agreed to retain the duty on coal ifthe electors would but support the Murray Admin- istration.

Speaking of the political outlook in East Simcoe the Toronto News has with the Reform "Executive, because the latter has not called a convention This lethargy on the part of the powers is especialy galling, because the nomi- guns to meet that almost invincible represented the riding satisfactorily, and in wages and other legitimate ways had distributed thousand of dol- lars -among the people, had` a claim which could not very well be snuffed out. However, less than `a year ago, - Mr. Cook notied. the Executive that he was out ofpolitics, and thus the ` way was cleared for a" new man, who it is claimed should have been chosen 1 immediately upon Mr. Cook's `retire- ` ment. Dr. Harvey,` of Orillia, is men- tioned as the probable candidate. He was the opponent of A. Miscampbell, M. P. P., in the provincial elections at -1898, and in that campaign obtained a knowledge of _ the riding such as no other local man has. Many local lights of the party, however, do not wanthim -to run - for Dominion honors,` but to stand aloof until the next provincial contest,` when he would in all proba- bility _have` his fellow -citizen and politi- .cal:'warhorse, B.` H'.- Jupp, as a rival, it: Tpretty `generally believed that 9=.*.6~t Es-t One ma-2 M W6 is.;.zthei A ., -.
