THE PAVILION ("IIOYVDIZIL Prohibitionists from all parts- of thc l provincc asscinblcd at the Pavilion in 3 Toronto on 'l‘ucsdny and :iftcr n lu-cn dcbatc (ltt'ltll‘tl upon the line to take relative to tho lil'tllltlst'tl rcfcrciulum by the (itlYt‘I'IlllH'llC. The import of the EXt'CllllYi' (luminiftcc of tho ()na tario Branch of thc Dominion Alliance was Cill‘l'lt’d, and a deputation appoint.- cd to wait on the Hon. G. \V. Ross upon them the views of the Conven- Hull. Rev. \V. A. McKay of “'oodstock, presided, and his task was not an easy one, as there was lack of unanimity among the spcakcrs. and many points of order were raised from Lime to time. The attitude of thc convention is that the prohibitionists arc displeased at the action of the Government. in in- sisting upon the. rcf’oi-cmluin, but will. under protest, accch the situation and throw themsolvcs into Lhccam- paign. They demand, however. a rc- vision of the terms of the rcfcrciuluin, in the direction of having the vote taken on the day of the municipal elections, and by having the question decided by a. simple majority of the vote cast. The main question was whether the referendum should be rcpiuliatcd or accepted. The official VIEW was in favor of the latter, and Mr. F. S. Spence moved the adoption of the rc- port of the committee, which was ul- Rcv. Dr. (Jhown mOved the amondmcnt to icpudiate the referendum, and the principal vote of the day was the one which negativ- ed this. Other amendmcnts were thrown aside rather unceremoniously and the vote was passed. The full report of the Ontario Alliâ€" ance reads as follows : That this convention hails with pleasure the decision of the Privy Council sustaining the Manitoba. liquor act, thus afliriuing the right of a Pro- vincial Legislature to prohibit trans- actions in intoxicating liquors which take place Wholly within the territor- , limits of its jurisdiction by the res- ,ufents of the Province. \ That the bill introduced into the Ontario Legislature, making prohibi- tion conditional upon difficult, un- reasonable and unjust requirements, cannot be accepted as a fulfilment of the Government’s pledges, and this convention expresses its deep regret that the Government has not carried out the simple, definite promises of Sir Oliver Mowat, reiterated by Hon. A. S. Hardy and the Hon. Geo. “7. Ross, to introduce a. bill to prohibit the liquor traflic to the liinitcf the declared powei of the Province. Thata specially objectionable and unfair feature of the said bill is the provision that even if the bill is apâ€" proved by a majority of the electorate voting thorcon it will not become law unless that majority attains very large dimensions.

Board, 81 Der day to prevail would not be considered by the prohibitionists of Ontario as a ful- filmentof the Government’s promise nor as entitling members of the chis- laturc who voted for it to their con- fidence and support. That this convention also objects to the unfairness of a method which mach it necessary for prohibitionisfs to pull a large vote in order to secure the legislation they desire, while anti- prohibitionists are not rcnuired to do so, but may succccd without taking the trouble of voting. That a dcputation be appointed to lay before the Govcrnmcnt the forc- gaiing resolutions and to ask for a re- inoval from the bill of the unfair con- ditions complained of, and that every member of the chislat ure ho urgi-d to do all he can to secure the cliinina- Lion from the bill of those conditions.
