McKay at the Opera House on Friday evening last at a meeting in the interests of Mr. Mc- Lean, the Liberal Candidate of South Huron. The chair was occupied by Mr. Henry Smith, president of the Asso- ciation, and on the platform were a number of the prominent persons con- nected with the party in this riding. Both gentlewen made excellent speeches. Seldom have we heard the candidate do better, while Mr. McKay is a talented orator with a fine voice and a brilliant delivery. The truth is both made a very good story out of 3o difficult a subject as defending the present Liberal Adininstration at Ottawa. In substance they said: Mr. McLean -He thought the gov- ernment had done nothing to forfeit public confidence, and he should have a full parliamentary term to show what he could do. lie spoke of the North West Lands Bill, claiming that not an acre had been given to corpora- tions; of the Civil Service Act, which he said did away with polls in getting positions and promotions; the Railway Commissions and its etsl.argene..t., and work in preventing discriminations, cheapening rates, and taking the ex. press companies and telephones under control. lie dealt at some length with the Post Office department claiming the Conservatives had always a deficit, but the Liberals a surplus, although they had extended the service and re- duced the rates. Rural Mail delivery was now established in three places, and promised it in Huron in a year. Of course he said mail would nut be delivered at every place, but only along stage routes. In mentioning what lad been done for the farmers he said the Government had selected a practical farmer its th.t .Minister of Agriculture. cheapened transportation and established cold storage, and quot- ed figures to show the increased ex- ports of farm products. They had spent lots of stoney but they had it to spend. The so called scandals were transactions in the interest of the country. His final plea was for a re- turn of the Government because they were experienced while the Conserva- tives were unexperienced. Mr. McKay criticized the presence of the Premiers of the Provinces being with Mr. Borden on the platform, but he did not observe that any of them had resigned to enter Dominion poli- tics. He discussed at some length the effect of those premiers on public opinion and vice versa; be said public opinion had delver] Roblin and Bowser back to their western homes. He was very severe on Mr. Hanna who had criticised the Dominion Emigration policy on the head only that, as he said, Mr. Hanna had classed English- men as foreigners. At the same time Mr. McKay stated that in his opinion Mr. Hanna was the cleverest man in the Ontario Legislature. He attempt- ed to explain away a few of the scan- dals, such as the importing of Douk- hobors, the Ross Rifle, the Arctic Ex- pedition, the Montcalm outfit of silver- ware, etc., the land and timber deals. The Government had it large expendi- ture but they had it to spend, and only increased the national debt 10 millions of dollars in 10 years, while the Con- servative increase had been much larger. Ile attributed n little of the prosperity to Providence but thought the Liberals could run the machine the better. Mr. Foster carne in for much criticism. Ile also discussed the P. O. department, emigration and the G. T. H., and ended with a plea for the sup- port of Mr. McLean and Sir \Vilfrid.

As announced by proclamation the nomination of candidates for the rid- ing of South Huron was held in the Methodist church shed, Ifensall, on Monday last. 'ibe day was fine, con- sequently a largo number from all parts of the riding were present. A notable feature of the gathering was that the larger per cent. of those pres- ent were supporters of Mr, John Sher - vitt, and the enthusiasm for Mr. Mc- Lean was at a rather low ebb indeed. Mr. Thus. Fraser of Brucefleld was asked to occupy the chair and the dut- ies pertaining thereto were discharged with the utmost satisfaction to all present. it was a foregone conclusion as to the respective chances of the two parties, but the usual formalities had to begone through, with the result that John Sherritt of the 'township of Stephen, farmer, was the nominee of the Conservative party, and M.Y. Mc- Lean of Seaforth, publisher of the Ex- positor. that of the Reformers. The nominations over, the two candidates then addressed the gathering on the political issues of the day. followed by Mr. Mowat of Toronto in behalf of Mr. McLean, and Mr. Gen. Spotton of Winghanl in behalf of 1fr•. Sherritt. The issues were dealt with in a force- ful manner by all the speakers. and all were listened to with deep Interest. Throughgut Canada only two .nen are unopposed, W. F. McLean, Con- servative, in South York, and Iron.

Conservative Political Meeting The Conservative speakers were greeted by a full house uu Monday ev- ening at the Opera House, when the electors were addressed by John Sher- ritt, Conservative candidate; H, B. McLean, of Kipper); Henry Either, M.P.P., of Crediton; Geo. Spotton, of Winghaut; and the chairman, T. B. Carling. The speakers were listened to with the best ui attention anti the impres- sion was made upon the audience that the Liberal Government had fallen far short of what was and should be ex- pected of them. Mr. Spotton, the principal speaker, is a clever and force- ful talker and his was a strong indict - went of the governuient. In partthey said: 1t. B. McLean considered Mr. Sher- ritt the people's candidate. The speaker supported Laurier in 1800, but failing to keep his promises be could not support hien longer. The Liberals knew that many of their arguments were not correct. He thought we were on the eve of a clean election. He did not believe in voting for a party through thick and thin, and did not think it wise of Sir Willi id to say he was a Grit always. ile should be a statesman first, and a party man after- ward. The Government took credit for the prosperity. The increased ex- penditure is altogether too great. Consider well before you vote. H. Eilber thanked the audience for supporting hint in June last. Ile and Mr. Sherritt had been associates for many years in municipal matters in Stephen, and be thought it. his duty to support hint from the platform and assist in getting rid of a corrupt gov- ernment. They say Borden has no cabinet material,—but they said the same of Whitney. When Liberal speakers mention their cabinet minis- ters they never mention Ilyruan, Sif- ton, Emerson, etc. Only three months ago the Liberals voted down rural mail delivery in the House, but now they are drawing a chant affair like a herring across the track. It lathe duty of young and old to stop the corrup- tion at Ottawa as they did at Tor- onto. John Sherritt was pleased to sleet an Exeter audience for the first time. Mr. McLean takes the credit of the Railway Commission for the Liberals, but the Opposition forced them to adopt it. He believed the farmers should be better represented. It. was not a question of McLean or himself, but the question of whether the Gov- ernment had kept tts pledgee. Why had they promised to reduce expendi- ture and then trebled it-; He felt sat- isfied that many Liberals Would vote for a supporter of H. i.. Borden. Geo, Spotton said he was not here to denounce the Liberal party, but to criticize the present leaders of that par- ty. There was a strong difference of opinion, but even the Globe admitted that there was a big falling away and that the majority would be only :30. We hired those leaders twelve years ago and it is their record we are judg- ing, not that of the Conservatives, whore we discharged twelve years ago, and who are nearly all out of 4tolitics now. Tbo Liberal speakers did not like to hear of the wsongs of the Gov- ernment, but tried to side track it by talking of our grand and glorious country. Ile strongly denounced bribing constituencies with public buildings, town clocks. rural mail delivery and large expenditures in constituencies. Ile showed that Mr. Foster's record was a clean one and that the "nest of traitors" was not an issue in this campaign. Liberals were denouncing the Laurier Government - Joe. Martin, Christian ministers and the common people all denounced "graft." Ile condemned the reward- ing of such men as Leach, Jackson, Preston, etc.. who had been guilty of corrupting the electorate. Regarding iintnigration, it was wrong to pity lit3 a head to agents for bringing in Douk- hobors and other undesirable people. Ile dealt at some length with the fish- ing rights given away, Mcliay's dredg- ing contracts, the Globe advertising patronage. Sir Wilfrid's denouncing the C.P.R., the timber and land deals; and the people who benefltted by these were now crying "Let Laurier finish his work," so that they may continue "their work." Are these all accidents is it not time to have a change P Then vote for Sherritt and see that Borden becomes Premier.
