Dordeme at tho ICing 1 Edw. rd Hotel, in Tor - Onto ,on Thursda evening of last week, that the 1 ader of the Oppo- sition posses the affection, es- teera and loyalt of the Coneerva- tiveg of Ontario. The reception ten- dered him was Mete 'Short of an ova- tion, the large gathering cheering him to the eolith again and again There was fa swing .and enthusiasm pervading the proceedings that is 4 happy augury lo - the- future. There were over ‘400 g ests in attendance comprising renre entative men ,from alinest every eli trict in the pro- vince,while prom, ent wotkere were present from Qu bete and the Mari- time Provinces. it was 4 virile and intellectual gathering, breathing the old-time fighting " spirit tVat so long made the Conservative party 4 doneinent factor in the political his- tory of the Do ion .Two Provin- cial Premiers raced the occasion, lion. Richard 11 Bride, from British Columbia, and P ender Whitney. Mr. Bergeron, the Old warrior from Quebec, with ' the dust of battle and the blood of hisenemies on his unie form " vouchsafed the cheering in- telligence that the Conservative -par ty in the sister 'province is a pretty lively corpse. , • The banque throughout will take' rank es o e of the most sue- cessfui and best arranged which has ever been Oa Id in Toronto. There was not a hith or a jar, every.� thing being managet with clock - like regularity. Although , giviib under the austsices of the !Borden .Club, it was* not in any Sense of a Ineal \ elaa.oacIter, and the • issues discussed\ were. ell of a , national im- portance. The .' dinner, which was held in the Etremean dining room, started. short],i. after seven and the toast lit was reached short- ly after niee Welook. Mr. Borden,' has, perhaps, ziever been heard to better advantage. He spoke foe. an hour and twenty-five minutes, and 1 -his every sentence was ;followed with the closest atten- tion. %He emphasized the need for the holding, .of a Conservative con- vention, whidh would be reiresent- ative of the grand old party that had written the proud story ef Can- ada upon the Pages of ethejvorld's history. Such a conference P wauld: have •undoubted. ly been held last a year had not tee long eession of Tar- liament intervened. • This echiven- tion would fir t have to. formulate a pelicy and be repared to honorably carry it ,out o go out of office. La this respect t ey would differ from the Liberals, I.0 had adopted. e., plat- form at the f mous convention held in Ottawa in 903e and after- attain- ing to owee, • ad let every plank on that platform go by the board. The second matte that such a conven- tion would 'be called Amon to address itself to woul be that of organiza- tion. It was dle to fight under ex- isting oircum tances without . thor- ough organiz tion. He likened it to a strong a my well equipped, but destitute of rifles, He • made it quite clear t at the conference would be free to c nader the question of leadership. Any man who • thought he had sought the position ehould at once be unde eived. ' • Canadians at 0 icago. Earl Grey Govern° -G-eineral •of Canada, and suite, atten ed the great horse fair and fat stoele shove at Chicago this week.
