Liman, Dec. 20.—The -Liberal-Con-
serVative Association of North Middle-
sex met in conventioe at Ailsa Craig
this afternoon for the purpose of nonii-
nating.a candidate to represent their
interests in the Provincial Legislature.
The meeting was called to order • at
at 2.15 p.m. by Mr John Fox, presi-
dent of the association. The .meeting
was not up to the panel, attendance
upon such occasions, owing to the im-
passable state of the roads However,
70 members answered to the roll 'coal:
The firat business was a vote on the
question of admitting a London Ad-
vertiser reporter. The majority were
against his admittance. The following
parties were put in nomination: Mr.
John Fox, proposed by C. C. Hodgins,
reeve of Biddulph. Mr. Hodgins said
that he knew of no better man in our
midst to fill the position than Mr: Fox,
• and therefore took much pleasure in
bringing his naine forward as a can-
didate. Dr. Lang, of Granton, was
nominated by W. D. Stanley, seconded
by Mr. R. S.Hodgins, of Lucan. The
latter gentleman; in his remarks on
Dr. Lang's nomination, paid a glowlag
tribute to the leader ofthe Opposition
in the Ontario Legislature. Mr. Will-
iam R. Meredith, and the deeided feel-
ing of the whole meeting was no „mat-
ter who might be the chosen nominee
of the convention, he should be a true
supporter of Mr. Meredith's platform,
irrespective of Patrons of Industry,
Protestant Protective Association, or
any other org,anizations. Mi 0 C.
Hodgms, reeve d Biddulph, was nomi-
nated by air. James Stanley. Mr.
Hodgins, in declining the nomination,
gave Mr. Mowat and his Government
a scathing lebulee for the policy adopt-
ed by them in the matter of monopoliz-
ing the appointment of every county
officer, from registrars and sherriffs
down to a Diviston Court bailiff, and
the enormous fees allowed to his par-
tisans withoutaliowing the several.
counties which were obliged to foot
the bill a word to sa,v as to the appoint-
ments. Several other parties were al.
so put in nomination. Mr, John Fox,
in postponing the acceptance of the
nomination, at least for the present,
referred to the late victories against
the Mowat combination in North Bruce
and East Lambton, and believed that
the decision in those two ridings Was
only the forerunner of the result at the
next goderal election in Ontario. He
also referred to the P, P. A. and re-
marked that he was not a member
himself, and consequently knew tioth-
ing'about their platform; but if it was
equal rights to all men and privileges
to none, he wished them God speed. At
this stage of the proceedings it became
evidentbthat no choice of a candidate
could be arriyed at on this occasion,
and it was 'moved by Mr, jarnes Marr
fieconded by Mr, McGladdery, that the
meeting, adjourn until Wednesday
January 17, next, at the earn() hour
and place. The meetino•bthan closed
with loud cheers for the Queen and Mr.
W. R. IVIeredith.
