At the request of the Reform convention of

My :mast..., as your representative, for the
past four years ere known to you. know
I have acted to the best of my judgment for
your interest. I trust the course have pur-
sued ineete with your approval.
In a °healer addressed to yea before the
last meeting of the House, I brieflyreferred
te ,inany important and beneficialr measures
passed by the present Government. These I
need not again allude to, Since then several
yaluabie acts have been passed. Tbe most
important is the amendments to the Jurylew,
aineasureef true Reform, which I claim some
credit for, tieing mainly instrumental u press-
ing it upon the attention of the House. Thia
measure will lessen your taxation in the (man-
ty about $1,000a ..year, and will be a saving
to the whole Province of, abut $40,000 per
annum. '
The revenues Of the Province having been
more than sufficient for the ordinary expenses
of government,, the present ministry have
deerbed it wise to spend a portion of this intr.
plus revenue in the interest of; and for the
benefit of the people, rather than hoard it Up
• unprofitabTy„ in the banks. They have,
therefore, erected new asylums, and enlarged
the old, thus amply providing for the careof
larelieffes-orthe -Fedi
They have have been liberal in encouraging and
,akling the Construction of new Bowl of rait-
Way, Thoy have increased the grant to
schools, aticl to agricultural and "kindred so•
eieties m the interests of the farmer. They
have relieved the municipalities of a _large
proportion of thecost of administration of
justice, and in addition to all these grants,
they,have distributed directly to
cipalibiea npwards of ,$3,000,000 of the sur•
plus funds in their hands.
• Titis increased .expenditure is now made
the principal .oharge against 'the administra-
tion, but the people of Huron, who have re-
ceived upwards ef $200,000 of these raihvay
grants and nearly $300,000 from the surplus
distribution, will not, I think, say this eX,
penditiireis Unwide..•
For theluture, I will only hay, if elected I '
will support good. measures, from whatever
source' they may emanate. and will iudepen-
'slimily', and to the best of my judgment en-
deavor so to net as to promote the prosperity • ••
