R rrtstur of 1 r Harrison, astheir man. Friday afternoon was the date set by posture and newspaper notices for the East Huron Conservative Nominating Convention but the busy season and an apparent liatlessneee among the brethren very materially effected the attendance for an ocoasion as important as gather- ing of this nature is usually considered and the result was no doubt disappoint- ing to the promoters, But what was wanting in numbers was made up in determination to have a candidate any- how and Oouuty Councillor Bowman, of Morrie ; Co. Councillor Thos. E. Hays, of Seafortb,au unsuccessful oandidatein the riding on a former ocoasion ; Jas. Irwin, of Brussels, and A• Spotton, Barrister, of Harrieton, were nominated. The first three withdrew in favor of the last named gentleman who was declared the candidate. Major Beattie, of London, and H, Either, Conservative candidate for South Heron, were anuounoed to be present ae the speakers of the day but they did not materialize. Short addresses were given by the local talent and organization work outlined. To out down the adverse majority of 498 at Mat elootion appears to be the object rather than any real ex- pectation of winning the riding. Mr. Spotton was born in Howiok towm• ship, at Orange Hill.

No Subetaatial Grievance—What the Gov- or'mrnO,itllrita Tried to DO. (Premier Rae at Newmarket.) How many of the 2,000,000 people, in Ontario, be oohed, had any aubetantial grievance against the Government? They had settled 150,000 people. in New Ont- ario, Had any of them a grievance? They had. spent 810,000,000 for the de- velopment of our railway system, and were doing in New Ontario what bad bean done in older Ontario many years before where they had aaoisted 38 different railway lines, 2,219 miles in length. They had kept pace will the wants of the country in regard to public buildings, on which they had spent 823,580,000 In the last 30 years. They had cared for the insane, the deaf and dumb and blind, giving their expenditure in this way a larger spirit, Inastnooh es ye have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto Me." The expenditure in Ontario for charitable purposes was greater per head than in Great Britain or any State in the Union. They bad kept step with the progressive tendenoiee of the age 1 education. The school policy was critioized, but it would be aribized until the crank of doom. lie had been an inspector ander Dr. Ryerson, and Dr. Ryerson, who was one of our great Canadians, was severely criticized now, but young Canadians who graduated from onr eohools and uuiversitiee soon reached the top when they wain to the United States. Everybody admitted that the nufversitiee of Toronto did not stand simply et the bead of the universities of Canada, but of the continent. We had all the faoilibiee in this =entry for a pro- gressive system of education that any country could require. We must not aspect to gather fruit at once ; we must wait until the limbs grow strong and the fibre hardened. The Government had kept step with the agricultural wants of the people. Was there anything they had not done for the farmer which they really required, wbioh could have been done by means of legislation ? They could only indicate, stimulate, encourage, advise. Was there any particular department of agrioulture loft that they had not fostered and en- couraged? He knew none. They had encouraged the stook trade, the fruit trade, had imparted agricultural education by means of farmers' institutes, dairy schools, inspectors of dairies, and an ag- ricultural college, He believed the agri- cultural education of the Provinoe was being envied bYm many people le on the continent already. (Applane.) They had left no serious grievance, and that was the strong test of the value of the Government. They had kept step with the progressive spirit of the age, and what was there to find fault with, unless minor matters. wbioh really, after all, do not effect the main issue. POLICY OP THE LIBERAL.
