Before calling upon the ooml0ee, Mr. Proudfoot made a few remarks, warolog his hearers against the over000tldenoe which had Man displayed In the past. Their op- poneota would make a strong effort in the fight which was to come on, and 11 behooved all to do everything 10 their power to ..cure the 500oeee of the oandidate whom rho) bad m unanimously nominated, Mr. Darrow, who mu Men called upon, stated that he was just rsoovsnog from a oold and oould not make a long epe.ob, but he felt there 'gore sumo things he should say. Hs thanked them very sloosrely for the loyalty with which he had boon reeelved. He considered himself simply the servant, not the matter, of an Liberal. of West Huron, and there needed to be at any time only a whisper that he was not wanted as their oandldate and he would be willing to step aside His desire was that the Liber- als sboold succeed to West Huron, and he would not fled fault If they should pat him aside to favor of any other whom they might think • stronger candidate. Mr. Darrow referred to the vote recorded to pre loons elections In West Huron and stated that he was sstmfled there was • Liberal majority In th• riding, bac It rested with the men before him to make that majority effective. H. urged vigorous work on their part and he would 4o his part. He aught not bays the fmulry of making himself tree with the •leotor•, of "slapping them on alto h.ck and sailors them to the' ribs,` but he thought there was something more import. ant, he thought he might as • member do mm.thl03 to the Hoose wbloh they wanted him to do At the gement' dentine their oppooana said that they had .011.0 the seat. 1t taking the due sopa a0oording to law in regard to the election and ►,11105 by the result was stealing the meat they had molt it ; but the foot was that • Tort judge to Toronto had deolared that two ballots counted for Mr. Book should be thrown oat ; this left the vote • tie, and It was hardly to he .zp.ctd that that 0.t0r0- tag offer would dsolare Mr. Book Mooted.

Gannon- Was unanimously nominated to contest West Huron at the coming bye- olectiou iu the interests of the party. If the Liberal party in the riding gets totg8tber, and if the party managers have gained sense from the lessons of the past, there is no reason why the Liberal candi• dam should not have a majority of from 150 to 200. The majority, based upon the last Dominion election, ie in the constituency, although It has not been gut out for Provin• MAI purpooeo in the past ten or twelve years in the election of Marsh, 1898, the con• ut,tut•,ncy was practically thrown away, owe ulg to want of orgamtation, and the over• .-onfidonee of the advteers of the candidate on that otxa.i,ri.
