PREMIER G. W. ROSS.
The battle in aonneotion with the Prov-
incial Election Campaign is over and the
Ross Government is reported elected by a
majority of 7. Some of the returns will be
changed no doubt when the official report
is made but the indications are that the
Liberals will continue to do business at
the old stand in Toronto. A pleasing•
feature is that Hon. G. W. Rose and his
entire Oabinet are eleoted and in tbie the
Government fared better than 4 years ago.
Mr. Whitney and his followers certainly
made a dead set on securing office but the
electors eay another 4 years on the Op-
position benches will be their portion.
A quieter eleotion 'wae never held in
the Province and probably harder work
was never done byboth parties.
In tbe following returns only the con.
etitaenoiee reported in somedefinite kind
of away are given and some of these may
require rectification in next issue but the
majority is likely to grow rather than
decrease.
