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.
