The Newsâ€"Record‘s commercial traâ€" vellers are again at it prognisticatâ€" ing as usual that ‘"‘Whitney is going to carry the province." But this time they are not quite sojubilant or sanguine in their predictions. They do not claim a majority of from 20 to 25 as heretofore,but merely say Woekly newspazer pub ished every Thursday "he will wir although the majority may not be large.‘"‘ Poor fellows ! How very modest ! We fear their wish of a majority either small _ or great is only father to the thought. But if it affords them any comfort or consolation to blow theirtin horns in this fashionâ€"to "whistle to keep their courage up,"" they are welcome to it. If it pleases them it dor‘t hurt the Liberals. The truth is as election day draws nigh the Opposiâ€" tion are becoming weakâ€"kneed and downâ€"cast. They _ feel that they have no hope for success at the polls and _ that they arccompletely _ outâ€" classed in the race by the Ross comâ€" bination . No wonder they see nothing but defeat staring them in the face, for the. indicatiors from all overthe proâ€" vince point to the reâ€"election of the Liberal _ Government by a decisive majority . The best mer in the ranks of the Opposition realize that there are no men on theirside of the House fit to beinchargeand that _ it would be a public calamity if Mr Ross and his able colleagues were doomed to suffer defeat. _ But we have no fear as to theresult of the contest. . Although he has had scarâ€" cely three years trial as leader of the Government he has accomplished wonders in that short space by | his liberal and enlightened policy. _ He deserves and will we feel confident receive arother opportunity to carry on the good work he has so well beâ€" gun in building up the banner provâ€" ince of this fair Dominion. DAVID BEAN, Proprietor We hear the most cheering accounts not only of Mr. Breithaupt in North Waterloo, but of Mr. Thomson in the South. _ The 29th. of May promises to â€"be a sad day fortheOpposition who wil then have a chance to exâ€" claim in bitterness ofspirit, "Isn‘t it strange we have not had . a change." The unqualified success which . is attending the campaigr of the Libâ€" eral candidates both in North and South Waterloo is having the effect of making the Conservative leaders in these _ ridings illâ€"natured and urâ€" scruptlous. Ever since the memorâ€" wblé Liberal meeting at Preston adâ€" dresses by the Hon. F. R. Latchford and at which meeting Mr. Kribs, the Conservative candidate, received _ a setback in the presence of the electâ€" ors from which he is not likely to re over during the present election, Miâ€"nature and crankiness seems . to aflict the whole Tory outfit in the riding. The warm reception which is accorded Mr. L. J. Breithaupt every where by the electors throughâ€" "out the North Riding seems to have the same cffect as that produced in the South by a similat cause. _ The muln,dp is one in which the atives find it fearfuily upâ€"hill «wortk to gencrate cither excitement ~or enthusiasm from the fact that the province has been and still is emioyâ€" POLL YOUR VOTE. der FOR SALE BY ONTâ€"WIRE FENCINC Co.,Limited Picton, Ont. “rnnl prm:ty.

WoolwichT‘p Wellesley T‘p Watrerioo ‘I‘p The cditorial columns of thw Newsâ€" Record recently contained an article copied holus bolus from page 21 of a Conservative campaign pamphlet calâ€" led, ‘‘Platform of the Conservative Opposition‘‘ and which Dr. Lackâ€" ner‘s organ appears to have forgotâ€" ten to credit. _ For condensed misâ€" representaion it is doubtful whether this article has ever been excelled by the Newsâ€"Record or the party which it champions. This article states that ‘"The Government was deterâ€" mined #%o rcscrve to itself the right It is also stated that ‘"The fayâ€" ored _ companies are preparing to make big money out of their free grants of the pulpâ€"wood rights." Here are the facts. In the various concesions granted the different pulpâ€" wood companies, the Government reâ€" serves the right to increase the dues at any time and no doubt will do so proportionately with the advancing value of timber. The progressive policy of the Government has alâ€" ready been instrumental in inducing seven different companies to invest the enormous amount of _ $4,350,000 in the pulp enterprise giving emâ€" ployment to 1890 workmen, and this industry is yet in its infancy. The Ontario Government deserves every commendation for its â€" progressiâ€"e policy in fostering this important ‘ndustry aid procuring the inve.tâ€" to make secic, bargains and to give away vast areas of the public doâ€" main gratuituously". â€" s ment of this large amount which is omposed largely of foreign capital. Surely the Conservatives of toâ€"da; must have backslidden from the faith of their fathers who advocated veheâ€" mently the fosterirg of the infant industries of the country. From this we infer that the Tories of | toâ€" day are only Tories in name, a s,;¢ cies of political adventurers whose spirit has been in the letter lost, theit substance in the shade. It should not, however, be lost sight of that the Reform methods of fosterâ€" ing the infant industries of the counâ€" try diffet from _ those heretofore employed by the Conservative party in that the Government retains comâ€" plete cortrol of all pulp wood con cessions. _ Especially does the Govâ€" ¢rnment reserve the right of raising the price of pulp wood in ratio with its increase in market value. . Anâ€" other very desirable right has been reserved by the Government on . beâ€" halft _ of the people. ‘The settler or mifet is not locked out of the country, but the lands are open for disposal, and immediately upon the sale or location of any land for setâ€" tlement or iining purposes the spruce and other pulp timber pass from the operation of the eoncession and become the property of the locâ€" atee or purchaser. _ > # . 2, Conestogo.... 53 7 . 8, St. Jacobs..... 12 15 . 4, Above Elmira 42 & . 5, Floradale..... 62 I( . 6, Heidelberg.... 23 4 )â€" 7, West Montrose 59 4 ij. for Clemens.... 82 ij. for Breithaupt. .

The speakers were accorded an atâ€" tentive hearing and liberal applause. Mr. Andrew Pattullo of Woodstock who spoke in Elmira was in partic« ylarly good form and his address was acknowledged to have been the best and most thorough exposition of the policy of the Ross Adminisâ€" tration ever listened to in. Elmira. The candidate, Mr. L. J. Breithâ€" aupt, delivered a splendid address and was complimented on his. able and modest account of his stewardâ€" ship during the time he was their representative in the Legislature. The spacious Elmira Musical Soâ€" ciety‘s hall was filled to the doors by the citizens of that progressive town of the north and the surroundâ€" ing country. The platiorm _ and walls were â€" beautifully decorated with _ mottoes such as "Build up Ontario,‘‘ _ ‘"Ross and Breithaupt," ‘"Ross built up New Ontario,‘"‘ etc. and a large photograph of King Edâ€" ward was placed in the corner of the platform, adding to the patriotic nature of the meeting. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. L.Umbach, President of the North Waterloo Reform Association, and along with him on the platform were Messrs. A. ~THE CA Two Rousing Liberal Meetings at Elmira and West Montrose. Thecandidate, _ Mr. L. J. Breithâ€" aupt, was enthusiastically received, and aiter making an appropriate reâ€" ference to the loss sustained by the Lite:a‘s in the death of the late Robt. Jackson, gave a brief resume of the various provincial issues. He spoke of the manner in which New Ontario was teing settled as a _ reâ€" sult of the "BuildupOntario,‘‘ policy of the Ross Administration, the eduâ€" cational _ standing of the province, the agricultural interests, making particular reference ta the encouragâ€" ing of the beet sugar industry . in which Waterloo county is specially interested.

The Liberal meetin at this beauâ€" tifully situated and romantic village was the most largely attended _ and enthusiastic gathering ever held in West _ Montrose.
