(Office—vanstone Block, Wingham) PERSONAL LIBERAL -CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION. The annual meeting of the Liberal - Conservative Association for the East Riding of Huron was held in Brussels on Tuesday of this week. There was an excellent representation from the various parts of the riding. The President, Dr. T. Chisholm, in a pleasing, manner addressed the con- vention on the contest now in pro- gress. The election of officers resulted as follows : — President — Major Dudley Holmes,Wingham; Secretary, T. Hall, Wingham ; let Vice-Pres.—John Wil- ford, Blyth ; 2nd Vice.—H. Delion, Brussels ; Treas.—W. M. Smith, Grey, Reports from each municipality as to Chairmen of the polling sub -divi- sions were read and adopted. It was decided, on motion by Dr. T. Chisholm and N. B. Gerry, that a let- ter of condolence be written re the death of Mrs. T. K. Powell, so widely and respectably connected throughout the riding. The next matter of interest before the Convention was the nomination of a candidate to contest the riding in the Liberal -Conservative interests. There was but one name thought of, arid Dr. Thos. Chisholm received the unanimous nomination with a stand- ing vote and three rousing cheers. Dr. Chisholm was enthusiastically received and spoke to the delegates. He urged the necessity of watchful- ness, as the Ross corrupt machine had engaged to "deliver" Ontario to Sir Wilfrid. For himself he would prefer being defeated rather than that one single dishonorable act should be`com- mitted in his behalf. He reviewed some of the election scandals of recent date, and urged earnest, faithful work to secure victory. The enthusiastic spirit that was manifested in the convention is evi- dence that the Conservatives of East Huron are in good fighting trim, and will put forth every legitimate effort to redeem the riding. .A. successful public meeting was held iu the evening. The weather proved very unfavorable, but the at- tendance was large. Dr. T. Chisholm and Col. Hughes addressed the meet- ing and were listened to with atten- tion. Notwithstanding the rain and the dark night, there were quite a number present from the surrounding country. 4 - UNCLE TOM'S CAM. Wm. Pierson of Stratford spent Sunday in town.

(Clinton News -Record) In the East Huron the contest is between the two Wiughani medicos, Drs. Chisholm and Macdonald. The former is the more popular and with hearty co-operation of his friends should win. (Goderich Star) In the East Riding we take pleasure in commending the candidature of Dr. Chisholm, of Wingham, a man whose professional ability and person- al qualities are the theme of all who know him, and that means ahnost every citizen of his Riding. , In his knowledge of public question, and his ability to deal with them, Dr. Chis- holm is a man who would do honor to any constituency, East Huron will snake no mistake in changing doctors at this time in the history of Cana- dian politics. —When speaking on the Railway Commission, Sir Wilfrid declared Hon. Mr. Blair—"The highest railway authority in Canada." This being the case, it is interesting to know what Mr. Blair thinks of the Government's G. T. P. railway scheme. Here it is, in the form of three extracts from his (Hon. Mr. Blair's) speech in the House t "An utterly insane and indefen- sible thing." "Turn it over, turn it back, ex- amine it right and Ieft, inside and outside, and it fails to present to me a single redeeming feature in any phase of it from beginning to end.'
