Kerr, Secretary -,Treasurer.\ WHAT THE NOMINEE'S HAD TO SAY. - The various gentlemen nominated were called upon in the following order, and expressed themselves as follows: Dr. Sloan spoke of the depressed state of agriculture, and expressed the hope that• the Mowat Government would be able to do something for it to make up for the failure of the promises of the present rulers Of the Dominion. This led him on to remark that what was wanted was Free Trade with the United •States, and he argued that the members of the Provincial Government should • help the Reform party of the Dominion by appearing on the platform with the, leaders and taking part in the great ais- cuision on Reciprocity. Mr. Robert McMillan was then intro- duced as " a- worthy son of a worthy sire." Mr. McMillan is a young farmer - and stock -raiser of enterprise and pro- gressive ideas, whosefather is John McMillan, M. P. for South Huron. Mr. McMillan also declined the nomination and retired. Mr.. A. M. Taylor is a rising Toronto barrister, a graduate of.a Huron , home, having been raised on farm near I,3rus- —The other evening Mr. J.L.

J. Lawrence, two Minto farmers who had had a rough and: tumble fight. As the trouble evidently arose abo-14 the loca- tion, of a line fence the'queetion was not then settled, the J. P.'s taking a week • .t� consider over the matter. —One of the oldest' and _best-known inhabitants of the Owen Sound section, • Wm. Glenairston, died at his residence, "The Glen," in Sarawak, a few days ago. The deceased was 80 years of age, and came to Owen Sound 45 years •ago, when there were but half a dozen white settleri there, He has always taken an active interest in the affairs of his neigh- • borhood since that- time. —Mr. L. W. Tye, eldest and only surviving son of Mr. GeeeTye, proprie- tor Of the the Brampton Times, took a paralytic stroke Saturtay evening short-. • Wafter leaving the Temperance body, ,of which he was an active and enthusi. astic member.'

So far as -I have been able to understand this question, I believe that. • Mr. Mowat and Mr. Ross and the GoV- ernment generally are simply trying to dojustice to all and to maintain our system of education in the highest ef- ficiency..1) Mr. T. W. Gibson, the next nominee, is a, resident of Wroxeter, where he is engaged in the milling business. He wee for several years engaged in jour. naliam in Toronto as a member of the Globe staff, subsequently becoming Sec- retary to the late Hon. T. B. Pardee, Commissioner of Crown Lands. This • position he resigned severs.' years ago, and returned to his old. home in Wrox- eter; He showed exceptional ability as a jourhalist, and in his official position was a. most valuable man. He Showed on the platferm thaths had in him the elements of a good Public speaker. He is a nephew of the present member: He reminded them that East Huron is by no means a safe constituency, and urged • unanimity in the choice of a candidate, and earnest and united work for theven- didate, wiroever he mightbe, He re- tired in favor of the nominee of the Convention. The chairman, Mr. E. E. Wade de- clared himself unwilling to stand for the vote of the Convention t if Mr. Gib- son woeld do so, for -telreGibson, if he would take it, should by all means have the nomination. of Paris, and Professor W.

He has made a name for himself • principal of the Baptist College, llustra- tive of phases of • the Association's work. —A much respected citizen in the person of IL K. • Schmidt passed away on the •16th of September at his resi- • dence in Philipsburg, Waterloo county, in his 46th year. Mr. Schniidt always took an active .part in public affairs. „For a number -of years he was connected -with theagricultural Society,and for sev- . sral years was a member of the Municipal - CO, Mien. The present year he filled the chair as 2nd deputy -reeve. He leaves a wife; two ions and four daughters to mourn his loss. —The oldlady killed by a train neat Dundas on Wednesday of last week hati- been identified as Mrs. Pottruff, of Har- risburg. She was 65 years of age. Her son-in-hiw, Mr. Galbraith, keeps a hotel in Harrisburg and one of her married •, daughters lives at Stoney Creek. Mrs.• ' Pottruff, whoewas eccentric in her ways; started to walk from Harrisburg to Dundas, and had neer!), reached the latter place when she met her death. She was hard of hearing. —On Wednesday last week, a mar- riage was celebrated near the eastern boundary Of London. After - the cere- mony the party sat down at a magni- ficent repast, spread tastily on a table • extending through the folding doors from one parlor to the other. On each side re long seat had been improvised and cushioned. As the party sat down one of these seats gave way -with a crash , and down one half the company rapidly sat, ladies and gentlemen all in a row. The damage was soon rectified and the ' not only in college and at:the bar, but upon the hnstings, having taken an active part in many a hard-fought poli- tical battle as the eloquent advo-eate of Liberal principles. Being on his way to fill a professional engagement in Gode- rich, he had taken advantage of the op- portunity to wait over a train and at- tend the Convention, where so many of his old friends were assembled. Mr. Taylor made a brief and eloquent speech in which he dwelt upon the splendid record of Liberaliam and urged the con- stant recognition of true Liberal princi- ples in every political contest. He pointed out also the necessity for con- stant, earnest work to enshre victory in the face of the constant, active warfare whichtheir opponents were waging. He declined nomination and made way in favor of the nominee of the Conven- tion. Mr: Thomas Strachan, one of the strong men on the Liberal side in East -Huron, spoke in favor of Mr. Gibson's candidature, arguing that there was no more reason for changing their repre- sentative than there was for putting Mr. Mowat out and getting a new Provincial Premier. He retired in . Mr. Gibson's favor, Mr. Archibald Hyslop made a rattling ten-minute speech; which called forth round after round of applause.- Mr. Hyslop is somewhat older than he looks, being in appearance a mere boy, but he is still a young man with undoubtedly a good future before him. He had not gone very far in his speech before he ran upon the question of race and religion, whioh a certain wing of the Conserve- Mr.,„Glibson in a brief -speech thanked his mover and est:wonder for proposing him, and -expressed his willingness to accept nomination • at the hands of a Convention thus regularly called and free to vote. He hsd never asked any man to support him in convention and did not intend to do so. He had never •even. wanted the nomination except in 1871; and then he wanted it because he felt he had not had 'a fair Show when he as beaten in 1867. He spoke brieflnof the Gpvernment, and of his support of them; and gave Borne interesting re- miniscences of his experiences in the House. ' A Mr. . Gibson being thus willing to accept the nomination,' the Choice WAS, at the Chairman's suggestion, made unanimous by a standing vote and amidst hearty cheers. ADDRESS BY THE MINISTER OF EMMA- " TION. • The following is a synopsis of the ad- dress given by the Hon. -Mr. Ross at the evening meeting. He was presented With a complimentary address on behalf of the Association. Mr. Ross' respond- . - ed in fitting terms to the address, and went on to an exposition of the policy and record of the Government of which he a member. He first -rapidly re- viewed what the Government had ac- complished in the various departments- ofework it had in charge. One fact he put very strikingly. He showed that the Government by its railway policy had been the means of securing the con- struction of no less than 3,000 miles of railway. This, he reminded them, was a mileage equal to that of the Canadian Pacific Railway,- which had added sixty or seventy millions of dollars to the debt of. the Dominion ; and -yet it was built without fuse and without involving• the Province in a single dollar of debt. And that three thousand miles of road had been quite as useful.,to the people and had done as mut* to' develop the resources of the country as the Canadian Pacific Railway. He -made with good effect We point that the Government had been truly economical,not in hoard- ing the money entrusted to them but in spending it so as to carry on useful pub- lic services and to relieve the people of local taxation. But. they kept always enough at hand to be ready for a rainy day, or to meet a sudden emergency. And although the Government had spent about $50,000,000 during its administra- tion, not a single charge of corrupt ex- penditure had•ever been brought home against' the Government, and such charges had even been admitted- to be foundationless by those who made them declining to Call for the proof. He went on then to consider some of the faults which were laid to the account of the Government, and this naturally brought him to a: consideration- of the school question. Well as Mr. Ross is versed in public affairs generally, he is simply, information embodied when it comes to the discussion of the affairs, of his own Department. His. life-long experience as student, teacher, inspector and Minis- ter has caused him to have even the minutest facts at his fingers' ends. This branch of his address he showed to the best advantage. He showed how the difficulty in the main was with regard to the Separate Schools. He declined to accept responsibility' for the policy of Separate Schools, for those schools were established before he was born. He re- minded his hearers also that though 30,000 Roman Catholic children attend- ed the Separate Schools, there were 60,000 such children in the Province who had no Separate Schools. He went on to treat of the'chnrges made against the Government of changing the Sep- arate School Law.so as to favor the Hierarchy, etc. He showed that the charges in several cases were based upon - a misunderstanding' of the law as it really was: He dealt with the charges, pointing out that they only had the effect of making the law more workable and. the Separate Schools more efficient. - If they were to have Separate Roman Catholic Schools, he believed in having such tschools as would turn out well educated rather than uned- ucated Catholics. There must be no .discrimination by, the Government be- tween Her Majesty's subjects of differ- ent faiths; there must he as good op.- liortunities for education 80 far as possi- ble with one class u with another. He went also into the vexed question of French' in the schools. He declared that ever since coming late office he had recognised the evil of having exclusive instruction in any, language save the language of the country, and had been atwork upon the problem of promoting the study of English. And he was meeting with success. • Mr. Craig's idea as given in the House was to prohibit the teaching in French also. But if they did that they must prohibit teach- ing German and Gaelic as well. This would simply- cut off from the benefits of the Public schools those childl.en who knew nothing of the language. elle dwelt upon the absurdity of the prop°. sitiOneand quoted the figures in the Commissioners' report to show that the evil had been greatly exaggerated. concluding his maim address he made an. eloquent appeal for toleration and gen- erous treatment in these difficult cases as against those who would insist upon promising adherence to an impeaeticable and unjust rule. His plea was received with great applause. - At the close of his speech, Mr. Ross was asked to explain about the "Ross Bible" and the alleged exclusion of the Bible_from the school% • He :went briefly over the history of the famous Scripture readings, showing that the selections were made by a board of :emiment Pro- testant divines and accepted by Arch- bishop Lynch, with only the suggestion that "who" would be More grammati. eel in the opening ientenee of the Lord's Prayer. That book •Was excluded from some schools, and- publicly burned insome. He geld it made him shudder to think of people burning the Bible, though it were in the form of a news- paper, and he said with emphasis that the men who did this thing were bad men. He showedthat another revision had been made to meet some of -the ob. • jeotionrOsnd this revision seemed to be accepted without objections. Rev. Mr. Tonge, of Blythe, expressed his apOreciation of the 'Information Mr. • Ross had given, and asked for a state, ment as to the reports that there were in the French Public Schools altars, crucifixes and other Catholic emblems. Mr. Ross ,tiaid he was glad that the matter had been brought up, and at once entered upon an explanation. The Commissioners who visited the French Schools found that in tyre of these iu the Eastern District there were altars. - The buildings were -in poor ad: sparsely 'settled sections and the peoPle had used them to hold religious services in. a The altar had been left- during the week, just as in many echoole in Protest. ant districts a pulpit used on Sundays for religious service was left at one side, ready to be put in place for the next meeting. In the two eastern cases re- ferred\ to he wae under the impression that all the children attending the • schools Were Roman Catholics, so that, as a matter of fact, none were offended. The case was not the less contrary to the non -denominational spirit of the Iasi, however, and attention having been drawn to this by the Commissioners, the altars would be, if they had net already been, removed. In Essex, in the ex- clusively French districts, crucifixes, 'pictures ot the Madonna and other' arti- cles emblematic of the Roman Catholic faith were found in the Public Schools. • The people seemed to be unaware that these emblems were in any sense ob- jectionable in a Public 'School, and evinced a willingness to obey the law. The Department, he eaid, had not known of these infringeinents • of the spirit of the law before the report of the mmiseioners. But now, without un- necessary injury to religious suscepti- bilities, the Department was securing the recognition of the non-sectarian _character of the Public Schools. • A •hearty and unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. Ross for his address and the singing of the 'National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. • The Hibbert Show. ' The Hibbert Show was held at Staffs, on Monday and Tuesday last. The weather, both days, was very unfavor- able, and every person was surprised to seeso pod a show.t, The attendance of spectators was very_fair, although * not nearly so large as it would have been had the weather been good. The ladies dis- --play and the grain and fruit were shown in the township hall, and the hall was well filled. • In these-depsrtments there • never was a better show here than that of this' year. In horses there was no falling off, while cattle,- sheep and pigs were equally good. On the whole there was really a splendid • show and the prizes were Well taken up. The follow- •ing is the _affair was all the merrier for the mu- tive party are trying to force to the hap. When the toast list started and front. In this connection he had ocea- the health of the newly wedded pair tsion to gientiuu Mr. Mcgarthy's nsme, and he drew that gentleman's picture in a few skilful totiohes. "Mr. McCar- thy's enmity against Jesuits may be great," said he, "but it is as nothing compared with his enmity against Mr. Mowat. Under the guise of attacking the Jesuits, he is pouring out the visls of his wrath upon the Separate Schools. He thinks this Province is in danger • of the French, and he thinks so becauseit is -in the interest of the Tory party that was proposed, it was heartily responded .to by the entire company rising, but as they sat down the other bench gave way and those of the company who had laughed so heartily at first took their turn st disappearing underneath the edge of the table and the others laughed last. The remainder of the affair palmed off without breakage, but those present will not forget somebody's wedding in a hurry. - 'year-old heifer, 1st and 2nd, IL and' W. D. Smith. Heifer calf, II. and W.
