i have accepted the nomination, and now

solicit your support for myself, as also for my

colleague, the Honorable Neil McLeod.

In the late Government, as a Free School man, I performed that which I considered to be for the true interests of all classes, by assist- ing to place on our Statute Books a thorough] non-sectarian School Act. This Act, althoagh it may—like most others —require amendment, has, I am pleased to believe, proved generally acceptable to every class and creed in the Province, and all now cheerfully agree that its non-sectarian principle must be kept in- /idlate.

I rejoice that the harsh line of religious Jarty differences has been obliterated, and shat all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of strivé ing in unison to carry out such measures of economy and retrenchment in the Administra- tion of Governmental affairs as the changed as- pect of comimercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.

Should I have the honor to be returned to the Assembly as one of your representatives,
