As isinzlicated by the figures printed

_ elsewhere in this issue the special votes which werecounted yesterday have the effect of giving majorities to Hon. George Forbes in the Third District of Kings, and to Mr. Bruce in the Fourth District of Kings. These changes will increase

the already large Liberal majority in th e new House, where the relative numbers

will nppfirently bc, Liberals Zi; Co nserva-

Lives T.

A rein irkible f.ic‘. about the new

L -,qislature is that lil members on _the Miiiisterinl side out of 23 are new niembers.

One or more of the number, including ll ni. Beiij.iniin Rogers of Albert on, had lH`C\’i0l1-‘<l.Y served in the l'.egislnture_ b it were not iii that body at the tiineof the :eci-iit ilissuliitioii. _Of the seven iiienibers

of thi- Oppusitioii no .' returned three are

.ieiv men, so that- of the 31) ni=_-iiibcr-' elect

lij :irc new iiicn. The email; of the cliaiige in that regard is quite remarkable.

Although the Opposition has been very

roughly handled and ii number of its ‘prominent and active candidates have

suffered defeat, its strength and weight

will be re-lativel_y good in proportion to its i numbers. Mr. Gordon, the, veteran leader, who is respected by all, has long enjoyed :i precedence in the House as the one member whose speeches were most

adorned by si wide acquaintance with

literature Mr. John McLean will carry weight asa shrewd business man and

representative of _mercantile interests, and Mr. John A. Matheson isa rising barrister who has excellent qualifications as a legislator. Without going further it would appear that the Opposition _ presents a creditable array of talent. . Among the many new inen on the Min-

'sterial side are Hou. Benjamin Rogers cf Alberton, whose ability, legislative exper- _ iezice and high character indicate especial fitness fora cabinet position; Mr. R. C _ McLeod, a shrewd and` prominent busi- .pass man of Summerside; his colleague Mr. Godkin, who had been an active pol-‘ itical worker; Mr. D. P. Irving of Vernon i

River, Mr. Matthew Smith of Hampton;, Mr. A. F. Bruce of Valleyfield and Mr. G. W. Simpson, excellent repre- senta ives of our intel igent, pro- gressive and` successful agricultur~ ists; Mr. John F. Whear aid Mr.

H. J. Palmer, Q. C. who will fu

nish a valuable reinforcement to the otg, erwise limited quota of layyers in tlié’ HUUSR; Mr. George E.iHughes, druggist of this city, Capt. Read of Summer-side, Capt. Malcolm McDonald of Georgetown and others. \Ve;. feel confident that among the new members will be found

much excellent material that together with the number of strong men who are

re-elected will make a House considerably superior in quality to the last one, and which will give ii creditable account of it-

self in theyears to come.
