At the Liberal convention beld in Markdalelast week Mr. John Boland of this township was uoininated to carry the Reform banner in the next jxiOgielative election. Mr. Hartman. .tb€ last candidate, declined under- taking the task again. Mr. Boland if not au orator, but in a canvass for voteii ho has few peflra, and we be- iiove he will put up a strong fight. Next Tuesday will tell the tale of who his opponent will he. We wish to Slate emphatically that this should be the strongest man available, and the convention will make a huge mistake if it uses second cUss timbei. During the course of a conversa- tion with Inspector Campbell, re- cently returned from England and the Continent, we learu that the Klondike craze is attracting Britshers in a similar manner to the South African disco /eries some years ago. .Tohn [5, has had his eyos opened re- cently to the valuable inheritance he possesses on this continent. Mr. C. also says that numerous " wild cat " schemes are appearing there in ihis connection, just as they always do where excitment reaches a sufficiently vivaim temperature.
