TO get light rather than to give il. |
have simply one thought TO leave
with you, and that is that it is the
necessity that is upon us in all the
Districts to perfect our organization.
There are such matters as looking
after the proper registration of votes
and examining the register TO see
that it is not improperly loaded.
There is n matter also of having
personal knowledge of every voter
in the District. These are matters
which cannot he attended To too
soon. think that in not so dong
the organization of the District clubs
thus far has been defective in this,
that no special, carefully selected
committee has been appointed for
the express purpose of examining
the register and of locating every le-
gal voter in the District aud ascer-
tanning his exact standing. | will
leave you with the expression of the
hope and the feeling that have that
the Reform Party, so called, or if
you choose any other name which is

after such display of cloQuencc and
good speaking. | have never been

been present here, nor am | an aspi-
rant for any position of that nature {;
still on occasions of that kind it is
nothing but right for everyone that
is in for good government to express
his opinions. | had made up my
mind TO retire and be quiet, but
somehow or other, whenever | read
in those newspapers that there is a
ward meeting, Barney's got 10 be
around (laughter). / have but very
little to say, as some of the speakers
before me have fully expressed my
sentiments. ! fully endorse the an
nouncement that has been made late
ly in behalf of the Cabinet of the
principles to be followed up by the
Reform Government and | shall not
only be glad, but shall do my utmost
to support all such men that coin

that a feeling that has existed here
and gotten up by good many how
lers or GROWERS, whatever you may
call them, will cease soon and that
everyone that is in for good govern
ment and believes in the principles
of the Reform Party will put his
shoulders to the wheel and do the
best he can under the circumstances.

the time comes, when the nomina

and only happy to come around
