_“__ _
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.
