To the prohibitionists Sir Oliver made promise to do certain things under •certain circumstances. He said that he would introduce a prohibitor law, if he were premier. Ile possibly 'used the words, "If I am premier," Sir Oli- ver is getting old. Of tate he has been -subjected to much worry. It is an open secret that he is getting tired of the active life he has left so long, and that it is his desire to retire, that he may rest during the few years that re- main to him, But the Ontario govern- ment, without Sir Oliver, whould have no chance whatever of success at the polis. The people would not vote for the wicked partners. And it became necessary for Sir Oliver to keep the field during the campaign, that he ;might attract the votes of those who have been humbugged by his hypo- 'eritical pretenses of honesty and by his dishonest pretense of ignorance of the things his wicked partners had been =doing. 112owat's concessions to the seperate school people brought the P.P.A. a- gainst him, His neglect of the farm- .ers and their interest brought the P. I. against him, and things looked exceed- ingly blue. The prohibitionists seized upon their opportunity to make their demand. Sir Oliver had been up in Bruce in an endeavor to kill the Pat- rons, and his assistants had been in East Lambton in an endeavor to kill .the P.P.A. In both instances the fail- ure to kill was strikingly conspicuous. He therefore could not afford to antag- onize the prohibitionists, and he agreed to their demand, with the proviso, "If I •am Premier." 3ttt is he to be premie; . c The Brant- ford Expositor, a well -posted Grit org- .an, under the immediate control of MMowat's wickedest partner, Mr. Hardy, contained on Saturday this significant paragraph: In all human probability, Arthur S. 'Hardy will be the next premier of On• aario, and as such be in a positiots to do ,even more for South Brant than he has sayer done in the past Can this con- stitue:.cy afford to reject him now and .give his seat hi the Legislature to J. E. Hopkins ? South i3raut cannot afford to dismiss .A. S. Hardy. s So that is the programme, is it ? Arthur Sturgis Hardy is to succeed Oliver Mowat as premier! The author of Evidences of Christianity to be sue seeded by a patron of the race course! 'The pious Mowat, wile doesn't know a jackpot from a full hand, to be sue ceeded by an export! The acme of .honesty to be succeeded by his very wickedest partner. Ross pretends to be pious; Tuberculosis Dryden holds a pew in church Harcourt pulls a long face on Sunday; even Gibson makes a bluff at goodness,between elections. But Hardy! The brazen Hardy! Hardy, the man wnom no Ontario man could trust near the government's strong box! Hardy, a man whom even the political preacher of Kingston would tremble to see near the treasury! But there's no occasion for alarm. The man who is to succeed Oliver Mow - as premier is not on his side of the house.—Spectator. REASONS FOR RETURNING :MEREDITH TO POWER. In the present divided state of pub- lic opinion. -according to which we find candidates for provincial honors ,claiming to be elected as Conservatives ear Independents, or Reformers, or P. P. A's, or Patrons of Industry,—it is well for the electorate of Ontario to choose decidedly between the two great par ties -one of whom must 'role—and to avoid all needless complications on side issues. " There is no sense in splitting votes, or in shirking the true issue as between progressive Consert•atiyes and so-called Reformers, who in the words • .of Hon Edward ;hake 'have nothing to reform," .Let it be distinctly under stood that' there are certain great lead- ing issues before the electorate of this province, --and that whatever may be the result of the elections on the 26th of June, so fat as individual candidates are concerned, the future interests of Ontario will be managed by one or oth- er two leadingparties in pro - 1 ft e 0 P politics. We would therefore trize for the benefit of our read - They are as follows: 1. 'Conservatives should support Mr. Meredith and his followers becauseof his loyalty to British institutions. 2. Protestants and P, P, A. men should support Meredith and his party because of his staunch adherence to the principles of the Reformation. 5. Roman Catholics ought to support Meredith because he advocates equal. rights and privileges to all subjects of the Crown, and because his policy is to exclude none from office on account. of their religious tenets. 4, Patrons of Industry should sup port Meredith because he is in favor of the people's rights and of economical government. 5. Temperance nien should support Meredith because he is to be trusted as the friend of Temperance reform, and will not play fast and loose between prohibitionists and liquor dealers, 6. All well-wishers of Ontario ought to support Meredith because he is in favor of conserving the timber limits, and developing the mines and Minera' and husbanding other resources of the Province—and because he will inaug- urate a system of economy and reform in every department of the civil ser- vice. 7. The great body of the electorate should support Meredith, because even in Opposition he has initated much of the best legislation passed by the On- tario Assembly, Such a political leader as Mr. Mere- dith—who has a clean record, end is a man of unblemished reputation, and not a "hungry adventurer for office,' but an unflinching advocate of the people's rights—is the man that Ontario sorely needs after the long years of mismanagement and extrayagant ex- penditure of the public resources.
