MAR, 5, 1880. this [prime Qx hnturday [afternoon of next week, the 13th inst., tt Reform Convention will be held in the Town] Ental, Brussels, for the pur- pose of selecting ii suitable person to carry the Reform standard for the Kest riding of Huron in eon- neetion with the Dominion Par- liament. A number of names are mentioned as probable candidates for the position but it will be left to the Convention to decide who it will be, WATCH TH1'4SSESSMENT Last Seseion the Local Legislature passed a Franchise Act which widely extended the Franchise and which gives votes to a barge number who never had the richt to vote before. The Provincial Voters' Lists are en. tirely •baited upon the Assessment Belle. Up/tete a man's name appears upon the Assessment Moll, it will not appear on the Voters' Lists. There fore it ie of the greatest importance that every man to whom a vote is given by this now Franchise Act should be aeeeseeti. Particularly uo• tioe the law as it applies to three classes, uamely : wage-earners. house- holders, and landlords sous. As to wnge•e [niers the Franchise Aot provides that :— '"Every male person upon the last revised assetisment roll ns a wage• earner who resides at the time of the election in the local municipality in which he tenders his vote and has re sided there continuously since the completion of the last reeisod assees. went roll of the municipality, and who hes, daring the twelve months next prior to being so entered, deriv- ed. or earned wagee or income from some trade, oeaupetton, calling, office or profession of r101 hese than two hundred and fifty defiers shall he en titled to vote." And it further providee that :— "The fair value of the board or lodging received by Snob person in townships as part of his wages shall be onueidered or included as part of the $250." The amount for which the wage earner is assessed is not taxable. Hie name ie plated upon the, assessment roll for the sole purpose of giving him a vote. The wage -Darner most take an affirmation in form provided by Statute, and the assessor ie compel] ed by law to have those forms printed (at the expellee of the municipality), and to take them with him when en- gaged in his work of assessing. Every Householder in each Townehip nun• ioipality has a vote. This opens the door for many now voters. Every Lantlbolder's son also votes, and the word "son" includes "stepson," "grandson," and "son•in•lew, and the word "landholder" includes "ton ants," so that the sons of tonente may vote. Formerly the right of farmers' sons to vote was governed by the amount for which the father was at sessed, and it still ie 90 in the Dominion Franchise. By tbo Ontario Act of lost eeseion however, where the parentis aveegsad either as owner or tenant in cities or tuwns for $400, and in villages and townships for $200, all the sins who ere twenty -ane years of age, and who have resided with their parent for the pasttwelve menthe aro entitled to bo put on the Aescee ment Roll as landholder's son. The expression "landholder's son" also includes in its manning a step•sen, grand -sou, or sen -in-law, who may have so resided with the AMAMI landlord.
