Mr, .Jackson was eleetad President and Mr. M, Eaorett, Secretary. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Ritchie, the retiring Prosilleut. Ou motion of Moms.

A motion to exclude all Conservatives who bad been a eherter time than three months with the party was not seconded and dropped to tae ground, after a lengthy discussion. On motion of Mr. Graham, seconded by Mr. Carling, it was decided to suspend the rules and allow all candidates preeent to vote. The following nominations for the Ontario Assembly were thenmade by open vote :— Mr. George Jaekson,propnsedby Mr. M. Eaorett, seconded by ,Mr. White. Deolined. Dr. Coleman, of Seilforth, was proposed by Dr. Rollins, seoouded by )OEr. T. B, .CArlfng. Mr. Homy Eilber, of Stephen. was propos- ed by Mr. Beacon, seooudetl by Mr. B. Coughlin. Dr. Belittle, of Exeter, was proposed by B. V. Elliot, seconded by C. Senior. J. Beacon was proposed by J. Case, second', ed by W. Crooks. B. V. Elliot, of Exeter, was p oposed by W.

Ne- wau, seconded by Mr. Ed, Coleman \V. J. Biggins was proposed by Mr. Gramm, seconded by Joseph Gill, Declined. Dr. Rollins had no intention of standing himself ; he regretted the illness of Dr. Cole- man which prevented him from being present. He believed a good man could cauy the Bid- ing. To -day there were live issues between the parties as there had not been in the past. If the Conservatives thoroughly appreciated, the significance of the questions now before the people, he felt that not only would South Hurons_ be redeemed, but that the Pro- vince Of 'Ontario would elect Mr. W. R. Mere- dith as its First Minister and leader of the Government. Mr. Mowat was in a panic, his followers all over the country knew that their ranks were being thinned by defectione, and as their last resource in this panic they re- solvedto bring on the election, and by doing it at this particular time they put the Pro. since to the expense of $19,500 for ballot boxes alone, because. two.eets would be need- ed—one for the m'uuotaal. and the other for theAssemblyelection's. This fact showed the hasty and ill-advised mantles in which the Government had acted in bringing on the elections. Dr. Rollins dealt at length with tbe school -book monopolies, established by Mr. Ross, the Minister of Education, showing how the little gentleman ist impotent in the hands of the big publishers of Toronto, or that portion of them Laving dealings with the Mowat Government. Ile urged that this political system of school control, establiebed by :ler. Mowat was a great drawback on the ef- ficiency of the ecitacatioual system. Mr. Meredith's proposaIiQ o away with the Alin. i tai lel control of the 1•;cfucation Department ought of itself enable him to win. The popu- lation of the Province has incred 25 percent. in the last 10 yEal s, and the expenditures of the Government 100 per cent. The speaker pointed out the system Mr, Mowat pursued in taking away power from the municipal in- stitetions. All the principal officers uc.w were appointed by the lfowat Government, and in this county the Registrar got his $4,000 a year, and paid not one cent out of that to keep up the cost of County Govern- ment. Iie held that either the fees should be reduced or that some of the salary should be handed over to the county. The spaa'er also dealt with Mr. Mowat's congratulatory tele- gram to the Race and Revenge party, and his general approval of the Riel matter. Mr,, Meredith's policy, lately defined, was one that no honest man need hesitate to support, Mr. H. Silber and the other gentlemen nominated dooliced in brief speeches, and Dr. • Coleman, of Seafortb, was made the unani- The Xutilatocl Scriptures..

DEAti Sta.—With your permission, I would like to give you and your readers otic or two communications on the above ques- tion. In order to answer it properly, we must first ascertain the purposee for which the Scott Act was agitated, They aro as follows :- 1. To test public opinion on prohibition. 2. To educate public opinion against the ligno: traffic. 3. To lessen the present evils of the drink traffic, by the enforcement of a law which is in a degree prohibitory. 1. Now, as to the test, no 'one will deny that in Huron it was a successful one. The opponents of the Scott Aot say that the vote was not a large one. This is not true. it was the largest, with the exception of one, that was ever held ;in the Co. of Huron. I ;submit, too, Mr, Editor, thattheteat was nqt a fair one, as manyrefused to vote for th it act who are prohibitiouista in principle, but the advocates of prohibitio,u were shut up to test publio opinion in this will or do nothing. In 1884, Mr. Foster•,, uow'lninister of marine acid fisheries. ,.(sect".:demi by Mr. If;isher, a Libertil) move"d in Parliament, a motion declaring prohibition the only re- medy for the evil of the lignor trans, The Hon. Thos. White, moved an amendment pledging the House to prohibition when the country was ready for it, This was carried by quite a large majority. The prohibition- ists accepted the situation and went to the country with the Scott Aot as a test, Huron carried it by nearly 1,700 of a majority. No opponent can deny that thus far the Scott Act has been successful in Huron - 2. The second purpose for which the Scott Act was agitated was because it was believed that it would edu'zte the people towards an entirely prohibi4 ry law. The most superfieiel observer must admit that in title direction it has been successful be- yond expectation, There were a great many People p evious to this agitation who eoald never be coaxed out to hear a temperance lecture, whose eyes were opened by the let tures delivered and literature sown broad - Oast. The best proof which can be given of this is the fact of tete Mail's conversion, and I congratulate von that yon nave seen your way clear to follow in your big brother's foot -steps. Had the Scott Act done nothing more in Huron and elsewhere than advance public sentiment, its advocates might bo satisfied with the result. With your permission, I shall say some- thing about the third object of the agitation —the enforcement of the law itself, in another letter. Yours, &C., CUBTos. Food for CoilstitriptiVtAe.
