Gonsirvative Meeting.

Ml‘ Blake Nominated. He Outlines Their Plstiorni. Dr- Jenkins

Speaks.

The Conservatives held their meeting VV ednesday night in the Market Hall_ for the purpose of nominating a csndidate to run in their interest for the city and Royalty to fill the vacvncv occa- sioned in the Local House by the resig- nation of Patrick Blake, Esq.

George Peaks. Esq., was appointed to

the chair, and after briefly stating the

ivhject of the meeting, he called for nom- inations ‘

T. A. McLean, Fnq., then in a short speech caling the attention of the electors to Mr. Blake's excellent record, proposed that Mr. Patrick Blake be the party CM‘!- didste. 'l‘ho proposition was seconded by Juo. Kalle , lusq., and the nomina- tion was unanimous.

Mr. Blake in rising thanked the elec- tors for the honor they had done him. He had made up his mind tr» retire for a time at least from public life, but yield- ing to the earnest solicitations of his friends he had subordinated his personal inclinations to their entreaties He did not think it necessary to go much into public questions on this occasion. but he would refer to one or two points. He was in favor of ii reduction of all or en- diture that could he made wit out impairing the efiicisncy of the public ser vice. He favoured a reduction in the number of members both in the Upper and Lower Houses, and if sfier all reduc- tions had been made the revenue did not equal expenditure it was his policy to provide such means of raising revenue as would not hear unequally upon the people. He believed it was the duty of the Locril Legislature to use their best en'- desvors to press upon the General Gov- ernment the clninisnf this Province for a tunnel across the Str-tits. lie al- » min a supporter of the scheme of bridgi -,r ‘V’..- Hillsboreugh as he believed it w««u‘d l. of the greatest advantage to the c I ;. ~ni country alike.

In concluding he regarded the inter- ests of the city and country as almost identical, and while his constituencies would have his first thoughts he would slws s be prepared to do the best he cool for the Province as a wlmle.

Mr. Ferguson felt it his duty to thank the electors of the City and iiloyalty for the grand majority they had given him in the late contest. He had nothing but the highest words of praise for Mr. Blake. The more he had been over the country with him the more he had occa- sinn to respect him. He agreed that the Provincial Government should press the tunnel scheme on the attention of the Dominion Government.

I:Ion.‘Neil McLeod also considered it important to have this niiitter pressed upon the attention of the General Government by the Local Legislature, as no doubt there wou‘d lbs some opposition on the of the Upper Provinces. He be- lieved it of great advantage to have both

then the best results would follow. Re- ferring to the coming election, he expres- sed a hope that there would be no dis- sensions or breaks in the party.

Dr. Jenkins being called for, stated that he had learned that Mr. Blake had decided not to accept nominatioii, and on that understandinl he had issued his card at the solicitstion of his friends. He could not back down; he could not be asked to back down at this stage, and lie was decided to run. He belived he pos- sessed the confidence of the electors. He felt sorry that he would be obliged tn be in n position to Mr. Blake, but he could not’ elp it now. He was in favor of the tunnel, and if elected would do all in his -power to promote the interests of his constituency .

Mr. Newbery explained the position of the two candidates. . Mr. Blake was duly nominated by that convention, while Dr Jenkins presented himself.

Further explanation was made by Hon . -Mr. McLeod and by the candidates, and the chairman declared the meeting closed.

Military Meeting. '

Tn: annual meeting of the officers of the 82nd Battalion was held in McLeod’s Hall‘ on Tuesday afternoon. Lieutenant-Colonel Dogherty presided. The other oficers present were Major McLeod, Sergt Warbllttroll. Capts. McPhail, Crockett. Hooper, Br rt- ram and Ste art, and Lieut. Carter.

uired. and if so it wss unanimously agreed that the officers support the coni- inittee in whatever financial arrangements they would make to secure the needed in- struments.

Surgeon Wsrburton and C-apta. E. D. Davison and D. Stewart were re-appoint ed band cnminitte for ensuing year, and Major McLeod and Capts. lrockett and Hooper were appointed regimental com- mittee. The regimental committee was authorized to make arrangements for. a military concert to be held during next annual camp. The object being to sug- ment the funds of the regiment

In reply to Capt. Crockett, who asked .f th bsttslion ws~ to be called to camp every year, and proceeded to show that the annual camp system_was doing injury to several companies, Lieut. Col. Dough-

reprasonted the matter very strongly to hesd quart»-rs but without success. 8 consequently he had let the matter drop.
