HAYSVILLE KILLED BY 1i\jE WIRE CROSSHILL ROSTOCK. : \Meeting ‘\ at Waterioo. The Largest and Most Enthuâ€" siastic Political Meeting Held in Waterloo for Twenty ‘The present election campaign, so far as the Liberals are concerned, was wound up in Waterloo on Tuesâ€" day â€" evening with the largest and most _ enthusiastic political meeting that has been beld in that town for meeting in the campaign was held in Waterloo some six weeks ago when the Provincial Secretary, Hon. J. R. ftratton, was the principal speaker, ard while that was a most encouragâ€" ing gathering it was not to be comâ€" pared with that held on Tuesday evening. the last twenty years. The first During the past three weeks the( Liberal candidate, Mr. L. J. Breitâ€" haupt, has addressed the electors of North Waterloo in every portion of the riding, and without a single exâ€" ception he has been greeted by large ard attentive audierces, and everyâ€" here Mr. Breithaupt has been most enthusiastically received. _ The Libâ€" eral candidate has increased in popu}â€" arity among his old friends and has made hundreds of new ones during the campaign, and they will all show their appreciation of the capable and fair manner in which he has presentâ€" ed the progressive policy of the Ross Government by recording their votes for Mr. Breithaupt on the 29th. The Waterloo Towr Hall was comâ€" pletely filled with an intelligent and enthusiastic crowd from the town and surrounding country, there being also a goodly sprinkling of the iairer sex. The chair was occupied . by Mayor D. Bean and with him on the platiorm were Messrs. R. W. Dillon of the St. Marys Argus, W. 1. Ridâ€" dell, Geo. Moore, ‘Geo. Diebel, J. B. Hughes, J. C. Haight, Levi Stauller, of Waterloo, L. J. Breithaupt and C. Bitzer, Berlin, and J. L. Umbach of Elmira. The speeches of the evâ€" ening were brief and pithy and drew forth frequent hearty applause. In opening the meeting Mayor Bean referred to the fact that the batile of words was now at an end and the battle of the ballots was about to begio. From that time on untll five o‘clock on Thursday it was to be work, and the result of the fight uould be told in the number of balâ€" ts recorded for the Liberal candiâ€" date. He made a eulogistic referâ€" ence to the Liberal leaders simce the party had been in power, and snoke particularly of the enterprise and progressiveness displayed by Premicr Ross and his colleagues. . The vonâ€" servatives have been going up and down the country preaching North Waterloo and West Elgin, and not a whisper has been heard from thein concerning South Ontario. NMr. Ross has done all that could be done to to stamp out corruption by proseâ€" |cuting over thirty of the offeaders and increasing the penalties and as a result, the speaker believed, the preâ€" sent campaign would be the purest ever held in this province. . He had every confidence that the electors of the riding would return Mr. Breitâ€" haupt by a large majority. Mr. J. B. Hughes was received with loud applause. â€" He addressed his remarks particularly to the young . mer, impressing upon their minds that if it had not been for the Reform Government they could not exercise the franchise _ toâ€"day. Speaking of educational matiers Mr. Hughes said it has never been the policy of the Conservative party to provide education for the masses, mor have they been a party of proâ€" gress. Mt. Hughes urged the clectâ€" . Lo s rarik es Bames Caenee on dn ~d ors to support a Government 7that legislates in the interests of _ the masses. Mr. Stauffer referred to the many splendid gatherings he has addressed during the campaign. The Reform party had made many new friends. The affairs of the province were beâ€" ing administered in an honest â€" and efficient manner and . he did not believe it was time for a change of government until the men whom we have elected have failed to live up to the confidence reposed in them when elected. The Ross Government has done all that could reasonably be exâ€" pected ol any administration, _ and the Conservatives of this riding and the province have failed to prove the contrary. _ The Conservatives have been singing the song ‘"‘Time for a Change‘‘ {for many years and they will continue to sing that song for years to come if they do notpresent anyreason why they should govern this province. _ The people are inâ€" telligent enough to judge a party on its merits and not on the length of time they have been in power, and the rm had confidence in the peoâ€" ple t they would not put upwith |the silly cry ‘"Time for a Change," In dealing with the corruption CY he advised the Conservatives . to |clean their own skirts instead of harping on the frregularities of a 1 lever zealous partizans. _ _ _ LEVIL STAUFFER J.
