Hislop, the Liberal candidate for the Legislature, who bas boon nominated to carry the banner of Reform which has for upwards of a quarter of a century been carried so nobly and so consistently by 'Thos, Gib- son, the veteran member, whose familiar figure will bo missed in the next Parlia- ment, as ha has decided to retire into well-earned rest, full of honors. Not satisfied with one meeting, the whimsies - tie Liberals dooided to make a field they of ib and hold a second rousing meeting= the evening. The afternoon gathering was one of the most repre-sontntive that has been held in the riling, being aonn- posod of (armors from avert' part of the coustituonoy. At the evening gathering their numbers were largely fucroamed. At both meetings the speakers wore listened to with the greatest interest and were liberally applauded. A pleasing feature of the meetings, which were admitted to have beou the most entliusiastio that have been held in the riding, was the premiere of the Opposition candidate and a number of Conservatives. APTF.nNOON /OUTING. At the afternoon meeting the ohair was . taken by A. C. Dames, President of the East Heron Assooiatlon. Therm were also npou tho platform John McMillan, M.P. ; Thos. Glbsou, M.P.P. ; Archibald Hislop (the Liberal nominee for the vao- aucy created by the retirement from poli- tic/1,111f° of Mr. Gibson) ; Bolt.

The Chairman, iu opening tee pro• =dings, said that in expressing Its own regret at the inability of bho Hon. the Premier of the Proviueo to be present through illness, and the hope that he may be speedily restored to health, he was sure he voiced the sentiments of every person present, As Mr. Mooney, who had been nontioated by the Conservatives to oppose Mr. Ilislop, was in the audience, • he requested slim to take a seat upon the platform, but that gentleman decliued theievitatiou. The Cbairmau then in. traduced Arch. Hislop, whom he anuouu- ced as the coming representative of East Huron in the Legislature. Mr. Hislop was warmly received. Re coutonted himself, however, with express- ing the hopo that all present would be benefitted and edified by the addresses they would hear, aucl modestly gave way to the Provincial Seoretery, intimating that the electors would have ample op. porbouityto hoar him npou future enc oaaimes. '100x. omsoN, U. 0. r0 expressed his regret that the Premier had been unable owing to sickness to be pre. sent, and hoped that lte would speedily racovee. He immediately took Mr, Mooney to task for having entered into the role of prophesy many centuries after the age for prophecy had passed, and warned him against the danger of attempt- ing to forecast the future so long ahead of time, in declaring that after the next oleo. Woe the whole Comity of Huron was go- ing to support 111r. Whitney, Ile assured the audience that the statement could be set down as merely oratorioel embellish- ment. This broughb the speaker to a consideration of Mr. Whitney. He point. ed out that that gentleman had come out with a new platform. Informer contests, that of 1888, it had been the Ory 01 the Opposition that the Boman Catholic elec- tors had not received their just due under Sir Oliver Mowat ; in the next three con. tests the cry had been .reversed ; ft was that they had got too muob, and now Mr. Whitney oomes out with the cry that it is time for a ohango. Col. Matheson had atbaoksd tho snceession duties and bhe ex- penditure ou the reformatory at Pane- tanguishone. Mr, St. John had some- thing to say about a piggery, (A voice, "Cheap pork." ) Those charges he would allow his friend Mr. Davie to deal with, but he was sure that the eisotors would rot regard them as suffi°ient to turn out a good Government. Mr, Whitney had reooubly declared that unless there is a ohauge made Ontario was going fate bankruptcy, repudiation or gigot tax. ation. He did not think there was any probability of this teking plana so long as the present Government remained in power, although with regard to direct taxation, personally, he did not Ilisow but there might be worse thinge happen for a conikbry than that, as under direct tax- abiot the people would be mors Mani of the expenditure of their money. Fie then took up a:tiolea whish have appeared..1u the columns of The Mail and Empiee re. ceobly in reference to the financial poli. tion of the Ontario Government, and tnoted from the public) accounts to show. hat the 511015 stents in The Mail and Dm. pigs, as well as in a local paper, to the of. fact that the Provinceis draining large sums from the municipalities, is not Or. net. Ma was shown by an examination of the accounts of the Province, from which 11 appeared that fou every dollar received by the munieipalibies tinder Sanddold Macdonald Governmentblt ot' received 39.32 from the present Govern• went, and that the figures quoted by The Mail and Empire are incorrect and mss. loading, The then Opposition in Ottawa prior to the hast general election had form- ulated their charges, and had proved that McGreevy and Connolly bad got abort a million dollars orruptly, and the men wore put behind the bare for it, bub after- wards released, not ou a000ucb of their own health, but for somebody else's good. (Applause.) Other corruption existed, and the electors know it, and that the Ory for a change was therefore justified. But there was not a shadow of a shade of doubt against the Outwit) Government to justify the ory of the Opposition that there should be a change ab Ottawa, John McMillan, M. P., whet wee an. nonpcail as tho old war horse from South Miran, was warmly received. He con- tented himself with Baying that the oleo. tors of Canada are now in the throes of a indica- algreat c lilo,anand if the electorsnge into the nof Eat hood of iuon aro only true to themselves there would be no doubt as to the election of Mr. His- lop. 005.5. J. DAVIS. was pleased to have the privilege of ad dressing the elootors of .Last Huron for the first time and regretted the disappoint. lneht which they experienced owing to the absentia of the Premier of the Province, who had expected to be there, Whey they met on the previous night the Premier had expressed to him his cletat- Inivation to be present if he was at all able to leave his been, hub had charged the speaker in the event of Ms failure to do 50 to convoy to the electors of the county his deep regret ab disappointing them, anal at the sumo time to state that he would avail himself of another opportuni- ty to visit them iu the near future and discuss with them the political questions of the day. Personally he reg. -Med, as all his colleagues would, the rebbroment of their old Maud Mr. Gibson, who had long been a most valued member of the Legislature. Ho was also pleased to meet the candidates of both political parties at the coming election. Iia bad been sbruch with the modesty displayed by Mr. IIis- Iop in Ms brief address, a trait which, when displayed early in a man's political career, had, in his observation of political life, fregneutly inclioated great success ultimately, and he was forced to arrive at the conclusion that whet DIr. Hislop be- came the representative of Last Huron, as he bad no doubt he would be, he would gain and retain the confidence 01 his cons stitueots. (Applause.) He desired to re. far to ono or two statements made by Mr. Whitney. Upon every platform that gentleman bad deolatacl that it was time for a change in the Government. He ask- ed the question, Who watts a change and molly is it wanted ? He was perfectly safe in stating that it is Whitney cC Com- pany who want a ohmage, and upon every platform they loudly proclaim their anxiety for it. Oue gentleman had said in The Mail and Empire that a change had beau asked for long since. That was true, bat by whom ? By Sir Charles ment published ciurtheMailrandvEn mpbre, waited a change in the G'overnmeot of Ontario in order that he might get back to power at Ottawa, It is for the people of this Province to state whether they cls. sire Sit Charles Tupper behave control of the Goverament of this Province. Mr. Whitneyhad stated that he is daily re- coiviugletters from Liberals throughout the Province expressing themselves as favorable to a change. Ha caked his hearers what their exporioum. was. Did they know of any of their uoigllbors who had changed their minds in that way ? He had not been able to find aoyoue fn all his travels through the Province who voted for the Government before that thought it was time for a Outage. If the Government had been remiss in their duty, if they are unable to explain their conduct in the administration of the at fairs of the Province, be agreed that they had no right to receive the support of the people. But hall Mr. Whitney showu any reason why lie and his supporbevs should repiaoe the Government ? ARMY TO VIE MAIL. The Government wore glad to have fair eribioism, because they were prepared to answer ib, The Globe had taken the trouble to send a spooial reporter to all the e ing the tour Whitney r of the P000013ce inorderthat they might give the public a fair and good report of what had beet said at the meet. ings, But the Mall newspaper had not so treated the members of the Govern- ment and had not given to their readers tho sane information respecting their re- specting their replies to Mr. Wbibnoys aribioiset that the Globe had given re- specting the Opposition meetings. The public had some to the onoluston that tho chargee by the Opposition were vague and indefinite after ,tearing the state - meats of the Ministers in reply. There was reason for the change at Ottawa at the last election, but there Was no souse in the ory that the Hardy Government mmat be displaced because it has beet an. old and faithful servant or because there is a Liberal Government Ottawa. Tie Governmaut believe in snaking the ex. peuditttre of public money as earefnlly as if it were their own funds. It is a busi. noes Government for business people. To develop the resoursss of the Province is the aim of the Government, The Government bad been aa0need by the Mail in a series of articles of draining the municipalities, which had been shown to be incorrect by details whish had been furnished at publio meetiugsl but that paper had persisted in continuing to pub- lish similar reports about outer counties, Iall squally misleading. and igno Qu.::alon wht..li aeon nova,. ring the pointed one; that the Provincial Auditor 10 apo-± exactly the sante footing as the Dominion Auditor. 1f the Opposition nus- acrid not in 26 years discover any crook- b"'end bransaotion fn all lbs iuvestfgirttel bo• re• £oro alto l:'et a A000unts i omrnibiss, It bon was, he thought, fair to assume that im- tha proper trmisacbions did not exult.

TU rI}I ,.. rOLI.i. There had been considerable dis Won in the lima and meetings of lum mon in reference to the regulations speoting cutting timber, and it had sought to create the impression that Government had refused to grant the quest of the lmnbermeree depute, which asked that a regulation should made requiring all logs to bo sawn in Don'blion, The etatentent had also b made. according to the newspaper repo by Aid. Scott that the 'Government been guided in their action by the di tion of the American lumbermen, gave that etntement the most unquali denial, and explained that the Gove meet had Clone all it could do by req ing that all logs out under recent sa should be sawn in the Province, also the regulation requiring that suppl should be purchased in Canada, Canadian workmen employed. They b been careful to protect the interests Canada as far as possible, but they cn not interfere with the co tlitions of lice ccs whish aro current, Therefore t matter would be morefallyaud thorong ly dealt with before the next year's lice see are teemed.

He regretted tlt is old friend, Mr. Gibson, was retirin iter so many years of faithful seryl or his constituents, and he retired from e House carrying with- him the goo ishes, rospeot and esteem of his co agues. Taking up the demand of th pposition that there should be a change a asked if that was their cry at tate las action for the Dominion Parliament erbainly not ; but it was another horse at was mmmning then ; it was a Tuppe orse, (Laughter.) But there was reason r a change at that time. The horse was uudered-(laughter)--in all four legs. ore laughter.) In fact it turned out ab it was not a runner at all -(cheers) and the jockey was as bad as the horse, and laughter.)

That was the and of change tbey wanted. It was rk and sausage they wanted. (Renew- langhter) Had the Opposition shown y reason why the Government should changed ? Had they offered auy broad Vertu ? The Government did offer to electors of Ontario a broad platform good government, shown by their re. 1, That was wbat Sir Wilfrid Laurier 1 clone ; it was what Sir John Mao- ald had done in 1878, Had the Gov - moot shown bad business capacity? t of the 10,000,000 or 17,000,000 es. ded on railways bad ib been shown t a single farthing had been spent or thou in the public interest, at that the bad been a single dollar of it that gone to the boy ?

Bad men could not have written that record, The Government 111 not take credit to themselves for hay. ing done their duty in this matter, hut' who were the Opposition who wanted to replace the Government ? The electors knew that the members of the Govern. went had bosu tried. Hon. Mr. Hardy had been a member of the Government for 21 years.

At tiro evening meeting the Town g�yll was crowded beyond its comfortable capa- city, abort 200 ladies being among the audience. The chair was again occupied by A. 0. Dames. The first speaker was Dr. Macdonald, M. P. for East Huron, who referred to the success of the Liberals in the D0101. nion contest, and to theefforts of Sir Charles Tupper after that election to organize the Conservative Union of Ontario, with Mackenzie Bawell as Honorary President, Sir Charles Tupper as President and 111r, Whitney as Vico- President; wit]n a Board of Advisers oom- posed of the followers of Sir Mario Tup- per. rpt some length he gave a sketch of the victorious course of the Provincial Government, especially in reference to the boundary award and the streams bill. Arch. Hislop made an exoellenb maiden speech. He pointed to the 001510a posi- tion of the Provinoe of Ontario in its free- dom from debt as an evidence of good government by the Administration which has been in power during the hast 25 years, The electors of the Dominion had removed the late Government from power because it was reeking with corruption. He did not think there was any ground for the contention thab there could be no clanger in Liberal Governments both at Ottawa and Toronto. History taught them that from 1874 to 1878, when there were Liberal Governments in power, there had been no ground for complaint. John McMillan, M. P,, said there had been more important changes in the con- dition of affairs of Oanala during Ube past eighteen mouths than had ocottrrecl at any period during the past twenty yeate. The object of the Opposition in endeavoring to secure control of the goy. rnment of the Province was to enable hent to gob control of the government of the Dominion at the next election. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has douo more to cement onfederatiou, to unify the people of anemia, than any other statesman they ad ever had. Would they elect Mr. Whitney in Ontario for the purpose of enabling him to assist in turning out the overnmonb of She Wilfrid Laurier ? Cries of "No.") They knew that there are many Oonservativea in Ontario today o won le not desire to see that Govern. ant defeated. In conclusion, he asked lle °looters when ending their votes to link seriously whether it is in the inter.bs of the Province that there should be nave in the Government. Tun. 5n001N°IAL 55005TAlt0.

The Government had in all its record never allowed the interests of the Pro- 0 viuce to surfer by neglect. (Chest's.) Ib C was a progressive Government, as shown h by the splendid municipal system, it the building.up of which the respected mein.iter for hast Huron had rendered good G service, and he felt sure that the able young man who had beet nominated to succeed hien would after his experience in wh bho County Council follow in the steps of In his predecessor, In the administration 11 of all the public buildings in which the bl unfortunates of Ontario are confined std os maintained by the Proviueo with fatherly tii Milanese and solicitude there had not been a single scandal. The same could not unfortunately be said reepeoting siert. se lar institutions of the Province of l llnitbeo hi and m England. He ;mobosted against us the policy of small criticism in which tho as Opposition indulged. The Opposition n1 had charged the Government that, nob Elias withstanding during 95 years they had ter cared for all bbe men and women inmates wit of all the public institutions well, they »e had not been able .to keep the cholera W)o away from the piggery..
