THE first organization meeting of

in. Notwithstanding the inclement weath-
er there was a good ottendanoe.
The chair wao ooautned by D. C.
Str.ohw, who in • brief address gave the
houses which lied led to minor the meeting.
An eleotio- was again upon them, and it
behooved every Liberal to be up and doing
to enure the election of Mr. Garrow, who
bad so ably represented Wast Huron for
the past eight years.
Mr. (arrow, on Doming forward was
warmly greeted. He said he was glad to
have afforded him another opportunity of
meeting toe ,lento[. of Goderiob. In • day
or two the icouse would prooathly be dia-
solved, and the day for • new election an-
nounced The present Government was
deserving of the hearty support of every
Liberal. For • quarter of a notary it bad
been 000troll.d wisely and well by that em-
iwnt, min Bit Oliver Nowa°, and when he
had stepped up to a more exalted position
kis mantle had fallen upon a mon who had
mislead traininr under him for many years.
Hon. A. h. Hardy, bad not the great experi-
ence of his predecessor, but he was • young-
er, and in many ways, • more progressive
man, sad was without doubt one of the ablest
speakers in Ontario. Tons provinoe was
In the mile" position of being the only pro-
visos that had no debt ; nowhere else bo the
world could such a one he shown. Then
was not • o0untry, • pruvtnoe, • oonnty or
• municipality that had not a debt, bot Oo•
linin &coupled that proud position, thanks
to good Liberal government for over twenty
five years. True, on the stump sod in Tory
newspapers, it was contended that the
provtnoe had no earplug, but on the
floor of Parliament that contention
was not made. The Mail and Empire when
the House was in session. mode the state-
ment that Ontario owed $8.000,000, and be
had ktmo.41 dsc/rrod immediately .Iter,
that The Moil ■ statement was an unquali-
fied falsehood, and The Mail had at
tempted to defend itself from tet. aspersion.
H• Mir .fiat The Mail now oleimed that
then was • deficit of $5,000,000 -it hod
bumbled down $3,000.000, since he had
given it the lie on the floor of the Hoose -
and it still bore false ,,hoses. An effort
bed been made to work out the oohsof
provinm•l indebtedness by uhsrgin* op the
railway annuities, but the speaker explain-
ed tb.t tbot way of doing busmen was
n either fair nor honest book-keeping, and
wouli not be recognized In any finano!al in-
stitution to the world. Another thine
about which much ado had been made in
the ooantry on the stump, but which was
ekrefully avoided in p•rli.ment was toe
alarm that an extortionate prion was being
paid for sehoolbooks and that • great mon-
opoly had boss created. The facts were.
that provision had been made by the Mini-
o ns. of Eduoatioo that every five years .n
investigatten was had, ea to whether noose
had talks is the prodaotioo of books of all
kinds. and if it was found that in other
branobe* of book -making prices had drop-
ped • oommewurats reduotioe was made.
The report el the last oommisstoo, which
comprised Judge Morgan, a Tory, and
Moors. Baia, (Public Librarian, Toronto),
sad BLekett Robinson. (a perlodioal pub-
lisher mad pinkies) prl•ter,) was to hand.
sad proved eoadasively that Ontario's
schoolbooks were amongst the obeapeot
and beet published. The other, and the

And this is praotloauy .11 then is
to the great psrgsry so.ndal, which took up
the etteution of the 1'ublio A000unts (,'oma

elusfon, Mr. (arrow sold that he wanted
every effort to bt put forth this time, so
that Goderiob would satisfactorily demon-
strate that it had oontidenoe in the present
Government. It was every man's fight, just
as much se it was his fight, and Its felt euro
that if they man did his 'here, he
himself would have the satisfaction of know•

was not proud in the sense of being stuck-
up or • snob. Ho was proud of his good
name and •u honorable record, and be was
proud of the foot that be had represented
West Huron during two Legislatures, and
ou .leotion night he would be very proud to
again represent the riding, as he oertsinly
would do, if his friends did their duty, as
he felt sure they would.

The following opinion from the town soli-
oitor was read :
Robert Thompson, Esti., mayor.
Dear Sir, -I have considered the question
of whether the town eoonoil eau guarantee
the bonds of the proposed Elevator (:o ;
and my opinion is, that they cannot. They
eannot under the g 1 law, end under
the special act reosotly obtained they eau
do any ops of three things, (1) Groot &id by
way of boons l (2) grant aid by wry of
loan ; (3) take stook, -.Ib to the .mount of
$50,000. -bot the by-law must be passed by
the popular vote, end not morel by the
oounoil. It would have been eas7�to have
pot the special act to permit the monied to
guarantee the bonds, but no one suggested
that coarse.
It would be easy, I •m sure, to get frons
the Lepialatnre another bill next eseslon, in
amendment of the present one, permitting
the guarantee to be g,yeo, Dad meantime
