After some further pleasantry, Mr. Graham said it was true the Govern- ment were not in that robust state of health that they [night be. There were times when the pulse has flutter- ed a bit. when the tempvrature has been a little high. “But there are signs of recuvery." (Hear, hear.) Mr. Graham observed that with a major- ity of three the Government had last session put through Some very im- portant legislation. such as the assess. Inent act and the Sault guarantee bill.

The Provincial Secretary was received with n grunt delllulhtl‘a‘ tion and the singing of “ He’s a Daisy." “ I hope that is not :1 daisy that comes under the noxious weeds not, 01- it may be destroyed." he said in opening, adding that, as it; was, there were Mr. Arch. Campbell, M.P., respond- ing, read a telegram of regret from Hon. Sydney Fisher, who hole to al- tend some future gathering in the riding. So far as the House of Com- nions' was concerned. Mr. Campbell proceeded, it was the most, Lilwxal, and. therefore. the host Houseof Com- mons we had ever had in Canada. The policy of the Government to build a new transcontinental railway had been approved by the largest majority ever given any Government in Can- adu. The policy was one that. would add greatly to the interests of the people of Canada. The more one looked at it, the more one. was con- vinced that the scheme would develop and build up this country as never be- fore. The clause compelling the couâ€" tractors to purchase all materials in Canada. so long as they were as cheap here as elsewhere. would result in the making here of hundreds of thousands of locoinofives and cars and the rails that would he required.

The Way to Perfection. Mr. Graham then discussed the re- cent Liberal convention, at which,‘he pointed out, the policy. unlike that of the Tory conference. had been made by the people themselves. The Lil)- emls had condemned corruption in their own ranks. but the Conservatives had not. Until they joined the Lib- ernls in this regard we. could never hope to have clean elections. The first step toward getting rid of one’s sins is to confess them. The Liberals had (lone this. but the Conservatives had not; therefore the Liberals were further advanced toward perfection than they were. (Laughter and cheers.) The convention’s declaration against corruption was read. Mr. Graham specially commending the clause against outside organizers, which, he said, he had put into effect in eastern Ontario in the last Domin~ ion election, and the results were bet- ter than ever before. (Hear, hear.) On agriculture Mr. Graham quoted the opposition of the Conservatives to advances proposed by the Govern- ment, and declaied that one ounce of record was worth fourteen tons of promises on the eve of an election.

Mr. Arthur Quantz remarked that Mr. Campbell’s majority was not as large. as it should bane been. Mr. Campbell seemed to be permeated with pruu‘ctinnist ideas, which were not popular with the failu- ers. Mr. James Kirby, Mr. James Ley and MI. Geo. High also respond- ed. "There \va’s a clause that was struck out,”Mr. Graham went on. “I did what I thought was rightmmd I wuuld d0 it againâ€"(bear, hea1-)â€"and I am prepared to stand 01' prepared to full then, I helieveit was in the inter- ests of the people of Ontario; it was not, to the detriment of the temper- ance cause, and it was in the interests of the Liberal party that that clause should go out, and I, not as a member of the Govermnent. but as a. delegate at that convention, exercised my priv: ilege to spank in that behalf, andI did it, and I would do it again." Mr. Graham x-opcuted his objections to the clause, and concluded by asking Conservatives. who had been crying far the Government owned railway, to support the onlyzpremier that owns Mr. G.

Mr. Graham then devoted some time to a reference to the temperance plank in the Liberal platfoun. “It makes no difference to me whether there is any whiskey or not,” be said. “I don’t drink it, though I suspect that some friends of mine do use itâ€"in case of sickness.” (Laughton) For years the Opposition had been asking the LiheralGovei-nment what they were going to do for temperance. Had they ever heard Mr. St. John. Mr. Emerson Coatsworth or Mr. Crawford, prominent Conservative temperance men, asking Mr. “’hitney what he would do for temperance? Was that consistent? \Vheu Mr. George moved a. colorless temperance resolution at the Tory conference there was none so poor as to do him reverence, and it passed in silence. The Liberal policy on'l‘emperance appealed to every Lib- eral. It did not go as far as some. people wanted, but farther than oth- ers wanted; consequently it was in about the rightplace. (Cheers) This is a practical world, and we must not attempt to do too much at once. There never was in Canada or the old country much of temperance legisla- tion that had not come from the Lib- eral party. (Applause.) The license law had been enforced in Ontario, as Was shown by the many letters he had recently received from prominent temperance people.

In some nervous diseases of Women, such as hys- teria, this physician gives instances where women were put in a pleasant frame of mind, were made happy by falling in'love, and in conse uence were cured of their nervous troub esâ€"the weak, nervous sys- tem toned and stimulated by little Dr. Cupid-became strong and vigorous, al- most without their knowledge. Many . woman is nervous and irritable, feels drag- ged down and worn out, for no reason that she can think of. She may be ever so much in love, but Dr. Cupid fails to cure her. In ninety-nine per cent. of these cases it is the womanly organism which requires attention; the weak back, dizzy spells and black circles about the eyes, are only symptoms. Go to the source of the trouble and correct the irregularities, the drains on the womanly system and the other symptoms disappear. 50 sure of it is the World’s Dispensary Medical Associa. tion, proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that they ofi‘er a $500 reward for women who cannot be cured of leucor- rhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or {all- ing of the womb.
