John T. Carrie the.Candidate.
The selection of a candidate for the
approaching election to the legis•
tore was then proceeded with, and a
preliminary ballot showing John T.
Currie, of hast Wawanceh, to be the
favorite it was moves( by Win. Bailie,
of SVest tVawanoeh, seconded by J.
N. McKenzie, of Ashfield, aud enthus-
iaetically carried, that Mr. Currie re-
trive the unanimous nomination.
Mr. Currie was heartily greeted as
he appeared on the platforul. He ac-
cepted the nomination with gratitude
for the honor and distinction which it
*inferred on him, and he *eked his
fellow -Liberal. of the riding to go to
work with earnestness• enthusiasm
and determination to win the election.
The Conservatives thought that in
their arrangement of the riding they
had erected a citadel that could not be
taken, but he believed that with the
right sort of work the Liberals could
capture it. They had the very beet of
reasons for putting forth their efforts
to hold North Huron in the Liberal
ranks. East Huron and West Huron,
parts of which were taken to form
OAorth Huron. hall never had anything
but. a Liberal representative in the
Legislature. and if the Liberals closed
Up their ranks they should be able to
keep the new riding. Mr. Currin said
he would have opportunities of ad-
dressing the people of the riding later
on, and closed by again thanking the
delegates for their unsolicited And
unanimous eupp ort.
Dr. Macdonald.
Dr. Macdonald, of Wingbasn, ex -M.
P. for East Huron, gave a capital ad.
dress, touehing on many of the lames
of Provincial politics. Ile said the,
old Liberal Government of Ontario
had a record of which Liberals [night
lie prand. Mr. Whitney in opposition
had opposed many of the measures of
the then Liberal Government which
on coming into power he had endorsed
by following the seine line of policy.
Measures had been brought in by the
1,iloerals and had been opposed by Mr.
Whitney, but when the latter got
into power he was forced by the pres-
sure of public opinion to adopt the
policies which he had formerly con-
demned and which he now tried to
nuke the people believe hal origin-
ated with himself. The I)ce•tor urged
thorough organization and hard work
to help overthrow the (present Gov-
ernment And re-ent*b(lnh Liberal
rule in Ontario.
An Honor to North Huron.
(leo. I1. Mooney, of Itipley, ape
dressed the gathering briefly. Ile
said he had known Mr Currie for
mane years and he would 1w an honor
to the Liberals of North Huron and of
the Province. North Huron wets an
*gricultnral constituencythey had
nominated a farmer, and she believed
they would elect a farmer. The time
for professional politician+.• was past;
Mr. Currie was a man of the right
stamp av a repreeentatiye of the
people.

Many Liberals at the hist election
stayed at home or voted Tory, hot
the bad since had meson to change
their minds and woidd in the muting
election support the Liberal candi-
date. There never was a time when
•
there war more need of a united Lib-
eral party in Ontario than et the
present. After thirty years of Lib
e"al rule the Uuuset•vativew had said.
1.1 us get into office and we will lift
the veil and disclose the corruption
and wrougduing of the Liberals. '19te
Conservatives are in ()thee. they have
tad the opportunity they asked for,
and they have not been able to show

their predecessors. The Provincial
revenues lied increased, but nut
through the acts of the present Uuv-
ernumera. Thu H,trdy and hoes Ad-
ministrations had opened up new
avenues of revenue without inspiring
direct taxation=the-taxation of rail•
wmys, banks. insurance companies,
brewers, etc. These measures were
denounced by Mr. Whitney and his
colleagues. when in opposition as un-
fair and unnecuseat•y; and they
claimed that the Government was ex-
travagant ; -but since coming into
power the present Government had
not repealed these acts but on the
other hand had vastly increased the
expent+iture. 10 the last three years
the expe..dituree bad increased more
than in thirty-three years under Lib-
eral rule. This was the way the Con-
servative party usually futHllenl its
promisee. No one could charge any
Conservative Government with mak-
ing a reputation for economy. The
present Government had not ineug-
nrateed any new tolic•y of benefit to
the people.
