Election Fight -One Labor.
Toronto, Dee. 12.-eThe dovernwent
of Sir James Whitney has been given
a four-year renewal of power. When
the ballots had been counted last
night Sir James and his Ministers
had received, in the net loss of four
Supporters and the reduction of the
majorities of his supporters nearly. all
along the line, an intimation that Lib-
eralism in Ontario has started anew.
The new Legislature will be composed
Of 82 Conservatives, 22 Liberals, one
Labor member and one Independent
Conservative. The Government will
! thus, after appointing a Speaker, haVe•
••a majority of 59, instead of 68 as be-
fore.
Disorganized and dieheartened as
• they were when Sir James Whitney
precipitated au election upon a peo-
ple already tired of politics. the Lib-
eral forces made a splendid slaowing.
Led by a man who, combined witie
.singular uprighteousnesa of character,
an ability to hit hard and often, they
put up a remarkable fight.
The Conservatives made 7 gains,
including North Renfrew, which went
hy.acclamation. The Liberals made
11
gains.
Some of the Conservative membera
of the last Parliameet who • went
down to defeat were: Phil Bowyer in
East Kent, where local considerations
-entered largely into the fight; Charles
Calder in South Ontario; A. Aebin in
•Sturgeon Falls, who was opposed by

the event which excited most of the
intereat last night,
• At nine &Clock last night Hon. Mr.

which is a slight gain over that Pee

candidate at the previous provincial

THE LIBERAL LEADER. •
a very strong and popular man, Ma-
goon, and where patronage did Mr. '
Aubin more harm than good; and Col.
Craig in East Wellington, a valuable
man.
On the other hand the Liberals lost
such stalwarts as James McEwing,
who was one of the strongest' charac-
ters on the left hand side of the
, House; Daniel Reed, South Went-
' worth, and Valeetine Stock of South
Perth.
The bilingual question did not help
the Conservatives much. In the
French counties they lost Glengarry
(formerly Scotch), Prescott and Stur-
geon Falls, while on the other hand
the COnservatives won in the French
counties, Stormont and Bast Ottawa;
the latter could be accounted for by
the candidature of L. J. Kehoe, an
Irish Roman Catholic, from whom the
French expected little. .
The majerity of Leader Rowell is
.58. This is • a little better than the
late member, Dr. Andrew McKay did.
in 1908.
' The ex -Liberal leader, Mr. A. G.
MacKay has over 700 majority over
his old-time opponent, -G. M. Boyd.
'This should be specially gratifying to
his personal friends who believe that
.his character was traduced without
just cause. For this litigation, it is
eaid, Mr. MacKay holds the Conser-
vatives of North Grey blameless. It
seems to be a personal affair wholly
' apart from political considerations. At
i any rate Mr. McKay has got his
J vindication.
i Owing to some of the northern sec-
tions being almost inaccessible returns
were unavailable last night, and it is
possible that there may be a few
changes in the summary given. this
I morning when complete figures are
1in. For instance, at Sturgeon Falls,
I the election of Mr. Magee% .Liberal,
!is expected by a majority close to 100.
A later despatch from North Bay
states that the election is Close.
The Conservative gains are: Stor-
mont, East Ottawa, West Wellington,
East Simeoe, Sou-th WentWorth, South
Perth, and North Renfrew (ace). -

lambs, 2400 hogs and 250 calves. The sup-
ply on the market this morning for sale
were 1000 cattle, 600 sheep and lambs,
1100 hoer- and 100 calves.
Altho the supply of cattle was larger
ti an a, week ago by 200 to .300 head, yet
a stronger feeling prevailed in the market.
and prices for butchers' stock showed an
advance of 25c Per cwt. • This was at-
tributed to the scarcity of really.•choice
steers and heifers; there ebing none on
the market. There was a good enquiry
and 36.25 to $6,30 per mVt. could have b.een

of this grade was none too plentiful.
Common and inferior stock was abun-
dant and prices for such were easier; with
the demand limited, owing to the unfaVor-'
e.ble weather prevailing for this season of'
the year and the fact that cannera are.
well supplied 'for the present. • • 1.
•There were a few very good bulls on the
market, which weighed from 1500 to 1800
lbs,-; and they sold, for 34.75 to- $5, and
lighter Ones of good quality brought 34.25
to $4.50. A feature Of the trade was the
dealer:Id from Quebec, which bought sev-
eral carloads of cows and bulls, mixed,
at 34.50 to $4.75 per cwt. The gathering
• of buyers was fairly large and,. conelder-
ing the unseasonable weather A very fair
'trade was done. . • •
A strong feeling continues to Prevail in

small supplies coming forward; for which

despatch to The Daily Express indi-
cates that the trial of Max Schultz -
at Leipsie; on the charge of obtaining
information about German land and
naval armaments for England, hag
caused a general scare teroughout
Germany.
The German newspapers bitterly
tomment on the liberal use of English
gold to obtain toveted information.
It is reported that • Germany has
decided to establish a naval base at
Emden, on the North Sea, and will
build a harboz there for battleships
and cruisers. It is said also that
Germany is determined to establish a
permanceat garrison. of 12,000 troops
at Varley. •
-• The Express correspondent says the
German press is jubilant because, in
the policy of fighting fire with fire,
Germany has been able to obtain im-

protests against members of English
society taking part in spying, because
their love of sport impels them to
court danger.
