The result of the political battle in :last Middlesex last week NV11S rather a ttee pill for Mr. Ross to swallow, <When Capt. Thomas Robson, of 'Baca', wa.e elected over the Government 4c1andi(late, 1)1'. 131eWi1liain by a ma: ,s,lority of 43. In the election of 1808 floclgins,theclecea.secl Conservative candidate, was elected by 50 majority Alms the result of the two majorities aiasas close, but notwithstanding the 'wholesale corruption that AVaS practic- aed on all sides by friends of the Ross Governenent, and 'Particularly in Lou- stion West, the victory to Capt. Robson :and his political friends is indeed a ;gratifying one. That the " machine " avas in working order on this occasion was manifested most clearly. A. Mr. Barnard, of Westminister, who has been a Reformer all his life, polled his first Conservative vote on Wednesday 'last, the outcome of one of the " mite- 8aines " n efa Lao us an d disgraceful trick s, thaving offered hien $2 and then $6 for ;Lis vote. Than again the polling place sat Pottersburg was supplied only evith 7200 ballots. At this poll there is said 'sto be 261 names on the list and out of that number 214 available votes ancl the supply of ballots having been ex - ;Tao usted it about 4:30,the poll was dos - cid. It was, however, re -opened next :morning for half an hour to allow those who had not exereised their vote sto do so. This kind of blundering is saw -o bare -faced for anything, and this, • with their many other nefilCiOUS tricks, is fast becoming obnoxious to their ,own political friends. 11. A dePutation from the Ontario Fruit GrowersA ssociettion waited up- on the Provincial Minister of Agricul- ture last Tuesday to argoe for certain .'reforms in fruit matters. They told the Minister that the coddling moth was responsible for the ruination of 'half the pear and apple trees of the province, and they eesked that a lot' d -opinion law be made to allow a moth- oipality to inforce the bandaging of :trees. Mr. Dryden looked over the suggestion favorably, and the neces- isitry legislation will likely be introduc- ed at the coming session. The fruit men had another suggestion to make, and that was to have the government reappoint inspectors for the grading of apples and pears to be sent to the Eng - rash' market. They though i their -should be a standard of size and quality. The Minister of Agriculture said that the matter was one for the Dominion Goveanment to deal with. He sugges- ed that the fruit raen ask the Federal Government to appoint inipectors, rand he will be glad to give any assis- ..stance to such an effort.
