For South Huron One Special Feature
Exeter Council Henry Eilber Chosen
The Unanimous Choice of the
Conservative Convention.
LARGE CROWD AT MEETING
The Liberal -Conservative Conven.
tion held at Ifensall oa Tuesday after-
noon last to select a candidate for the
Legislature was largely attended and
was one of the most euthusiastic and
harmonious gatheringsof the kind ever
held in the riding.
The convention did not consist of
appointed delegates. but was open to
all tnembers of the Conservative party
and representatives were present from
all parts of tbe riding.
Mr. Eilber, who has represented the
constituency for a number of years, on
entering the hall -was greeted with an
outburst of applause, thus demonstrat-
ing his popularity and foreshadowing
bis future success.
The meeting called to order, Mr.
Eilber was uuanimously tendered the
nomination and he accepted in a few
brief remarks.
The Chair was occupied by Mr. John
Williams, President of the South
Huron Conservative Association, and
seated on the platform with him were:
Henry Eilber, of Crediton, M. P. P.
for South Huron; Col. Hugh Clark, of
Kincardine, M. P. P. fur Centre Bruce;
Mr. Wm. Campbell, of Godericb; Mr.
T. B. Carling, of Exeter; Mr. tlenry
Horton, of Tuckersmith, and others.
Mr. Williams. in opening (he meet-
ing, referred to the last past political
campaign in the riding, and denounced
in most scathing terms the unfair
means that bad been resorted to re-
garding the secrecy of the issuing of
the proclamations, Mr. McLean and
his Returning Officer having carried
the date in their pockets until the day
for issuing the proclamations arrived.
He stated that he thought it was an
understood fact that Mr. Eilber was to
be the only nominee, whereupon it
was moved by ex -warden H. Spack-
man of Exeter and seconded by Dr.
Wood of Bayfield that Mr. Eilber be
the candidate, the meeting approving
of same hyy a standing vote, and alt
singing He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
Mr. T.B. Carling was the firstspeak-
er, and after denying the Globe's re-
port that he was to be a candidate in
opposition to Mr. Eilber, he compli-
mented Mr. Whitney on the way be
had carried out his promises. The
electorate bad been given a clean bal-
lot which would do away with that
corruption and unfair means that had
so Iaviehly been practiced by the late
Ross government. He considered the
three-fifths clause a wise one.
Mr. Campbell, of Godericb, congrat-
ulated the Convention on giving Mr.
Eilber the nomination unanimously.
He felt sure that from the able way in
which Mr. Whitney was conducting
the affairs of the Province that be
would be returned to power with eq-
ually as large a majority as before.
He (Mr. Campbell) was a temperance
inan and always opposed to the liquor
traffic, but was strongly in favor of
the three-fifths clause. The speaker
had known Mr. Whitney for many
years, and he had always found him
to be a tuan of principle and honor.
Mr. Eilber, the candidate, was given
a rousing reception on rising to his
feet. Ile said he was pleased to again
meet so many of his friends. He then
went into lengthy detail of many of
the most important matters that had
been dealt with by the Government
during the Whitney administration,
anddetnonstrated to a finish that the
Whitney Governrnent .vas the govern-
ment for the people. Mr. Eilber closed
his magnificent address by stating that
he wastrot the least afraid as to the
result of either the Province or this
Constituency.
Mr. Horton then addressed the meet-
ing briefly.
Col. Clark said it was a pleasure
for him to conte and say a few words
for his friend Mr. Eilber. Ile then
took up some of the criticisms that
had been lodged against the govern-
ment. These lie dealt with in a tnost
convincing manner. He dealt at sotne
length with matters pertaining to the
penitentiarieg, reformatories and asy-
lums, the mining and other lands, the
increased expenditure etc. Referring
to the increased expenditure he admit-
ted it had increased, but it reproduced
itself many fold. As an example he
said legal costs had been incurred in
prosecuting the Michigan Central
Railroad in connection with the ex-
plosion. but the result was a $25,000
fine. This came back to the people in
the way of school grants etc. This
and many other instances were incited
after which the ('ol. closed en excell-
ent and well directed address. At the
conclusion of which a hearty vote of
thanks was given him for his presence.
