lion, Geo. E. Foster, in addressing a
ward Conservative ass.oeiation at Tor-
onto, a few days since, tried to convey
the idea that his life had been irre-
proachable. Will he come forward
and tell the public why he has never
dared to appear on a public platform
in the citynf Hamilton during the last
fifteen years
The following.is not from a Liberal
paper, but from a Conservative one,
the Kingston News :
. "The latest revelations before the
Insurance Commission melee the case
for Mr. G. E. Foster far from enviable.
For they show that while buying lands
for theUnionTrust Cempany, of which
he was manager, he accepted, on sev-
eral occasions, large commissions from
the men .who were selling the lands.
This means that in the capacity of a
trosted manager of a company he took
tips from men who desired to do pro-
fitable business with Mr. Poster's com-
pany. The member for North Toronto
has a hard task thus cut out for him,
to explain his conduct so that it will
satisfy honest people."

McRae, of Cranbrook,. and Dr. James

Fon of the much respected Presbyter-

alwitys be remembered here as a crack
football player and all-round good fel-
loW, as well ats it successful student.
He spent a year As house surgeon in
St. Michael's lesapital in Toronto since
graduatinn, the experience of which
will prove of immense advantage to
him in his future work. He is now
taking special courses in eye, ears
throat and. nose Work. Dr. Wilson is
worker and the Word "failure" is not
in his vocabulary. This locality has .
reason to be prowl of these young Men '
and we have eyeeyconfidence that
their professional training and honor -
n ble ermduct will bring them: the suc-
cess they deserve. We understand
