Association, occupied the chair, and ‘presided with very striking ability and tact in view of the difficulties. The hall used was entirely too small, complete accommoâ€" dation for all the many delegates was difficult to provide, and those who were oldâ€"time Tories but without ereâ€" dentials were a problem. President Kingston, however, by his kindness of disposition and his ready wit, kept everything and everybody in the best of humour and assisted business smoothly along. The convention was a most harmonious one, and the genâ€" eral unity and agreement augur well for the succeess of the united party. A. F. Kenning, nominated by J. D. O ‘Meara, Kirkland> Lake and J. C.

It is inâ€" teresting to note that while Mr. Kenâ€" ning received very special support from his own town and from Schuâ€" macher, South Poreupine and the Dome, he also was very heartily supâ€" ported by TIroquois Falls, Kirkland Lake, Matheson and other places. Inâ€" deed, there was not a part of the ridâ€" ing where he did not prove unusually popular and with delegates to back up the popularity. Vol. XI. No. 45 .
