• Sin -Permit -me through the columns
1 as your excellent paper to:refer to the
proposition of bringing, out Reeve Me -
Ewen in opposition to J. McMillan,
the present member for the House of
Commons in South Huron. I may
state here that I have marked my bat -
lot for Mr. Me3lillan ou every occasion
be has offered himself for the position
he now occupies, and I do not intend
to find fault with that gentleman. At
the same time I, with many others,
think that there is a lumt to the per-
iod that any man should serve in the
capacity as the representative of a con-
stituency, and I am. satisfied that
voice the sentiments of a large num-
ber, that the limit has been reached by
Mr. McMillan. It May be said, and
justly too, that Mr. McMillan is. the
regular nominee of the Convention. I.
have attended. every Convention called
in the South Riding of Huron in the
Liberal interest, but I cannot call to
mind the date of the Convention that
(save Mr. McMillan the nomination. It
must have been some length of time
in the past. If this be a, fact would it
not be to the credit of Mr. McMillan
to ask for another Convention to rati-
fy such nomination, and thus follow
the good example of Mallulock of the
North Riding of York, who had re-
ceived the nomination of his constit-
uents some length of time in the past,
but as great changes had taken place;
and new and important issues • were
brought before the electorate, he stat-
ed that he would not consider the
nomination he had received so long in
the past, binding. This course it does
appear to me would be the best for Mr.
McMillan to follow, 1,am certain
that it would meet the approval of all
parties interested, and also would have
a beneficial effect :on Mr. McMillan's
candidature, if he be the candidate
and would have a tendency to alla,y
any feeling that might arise in oppo.
sition to Mr. McIVIillan in the approach,
ing election. With regard to Reeve
McEwen coming ollt candidate,
he to my knowledge, is net gmxious,
but it must be admitted thatif he pays
attentioe to the ardent solicitations of
both patties who are calling. upon him
to contest the riding, he will be a can-
didate, and we are satisfied that Reeve
MCENvenwould be the most formidable
opponent Mr. McIVEllan ever met in
South Huron. Reeve McEsven stands
high for his enterprise, his business
ability, his integrity and god judg-
ment, and would. make a first clase
representatiye.
