to be in the Town Hall on Friday of next week April to nominate a Reform Candidate to represent this Riding in the ap proaching Provincial elections The meeting will organize at oclock p m prompt when a candidate will be chosen after which addresses will be delivered by Hon Ross Prem ier of Ontario Hon Wen P PostmasterGeneral and Hon J Davis P Commissioner of Crown Lands Should the weather prove favorable it will probably be the largest party demonstration the Riding has ever witnessed Never since Confederation were the Liberals of York more united than now and judging from reports received by the Executive last Satur day from all parts of the constitu ency we are looking forward to a very genera response to this call for a grand rally of the electors at the massmeeting next Friday It will indeed be a red letter day in the history of Old North York After the candidate is selected the general public are invited to bear the addresses That the nominee of the massmeet ing will be triumphantly elected when the elections take place goes without saying The great majority of the electorate of this Riding are in full sympathy with the Ross Administra tion and will take good that a supporter of that Government is re turned And why not No admin istration since Confederation has made a more honest effective and conscien tious effort to enact good and whole some laws and to secure their enforce ment than the men now at the helm of our Provincial affairs and no Pro vince in the Dominion can at all com pare with Ontario in regard to its financial position or where so large a proportion of the public revenues have been given back to the people In addition to the foregoing we are quite sure the electorate of North York will join us in emphasizing a cheerful approval of the progressive policy the Government has adopted respecting the development of the vast resources of the Province and especi ally of New Ontario In this regard we look upon the Ross Administra tion as standing preeminently for all that is best in the future of this growing Province and In this connec tion without at all straining the pro prieties we direct attention to the Tact that so far as the opening up and developing of New Ontario is concern ed very credit is due to the Canada for the Canadian an deriving principle of the Act Amendment Bill to bo introduced by Hon Mr Blair during the present or Parliament The Bill will stipulate that a majority of the direc tors of railway companies incorporate by the Parliament of tbe Dominion must he Canadians o says a press despatch from Ottawa
