RYDER. does not cherish great ions from his politi career. He is quoted as saying that his appointment came at an op- portune time, as he had sold out his general store at Cumberland, and was going to Seattle to live. He said he would be glad to get three months’ salary out of it, anyway. He is a Liberal, and thinks he. will run at Comox, .now represented by Dunsmuir, s:Mr. Ryder’s.candor is. charming. He simply took the appointment for the salary there is in it. Ortho- dox politicians take office for love of the dear people and regard the salary merely as a means of sus- taining life-while; they labor.. for the public good, .

The disorderly .convention . at Vi phasized the divisi in the Liberal ranks caused by Joe Martin’s desperate efforts to enter the election campaign with . the prestige of Liberal leadership. The best that Martin’s .opponents could do, being in a minority, was to pre- vent him from obtaining the :pres- tige to be derived from:.the :title of Liberal leader. His supporters: off- set this by their declaration in..his favor and of a party contest in. the province. . ‘This leaves the Conservative party as the only one which will.go finto the campaign practically - united. The Liberal voters .appear to..have the. alternative of ‘supporting :the Conservative or the . Martin . candi- date, unless. they .care to. throw in their fortune with the.. discredited Cotton party. All hope of a united Liberal party in the campaign. is gone and therefore ; the... Liberals have to choose which of, the other parties they. consider offers. the best prospect. of good government — to the country. This crisis is the opportunity —of the:Conservative party. .to.establish itself in popular confidence: by.. be- coming the. rallying. point. of..the great mass of voters .who,. being cut adrift from their customary . po- litical "affiliations, will cast their votes for the party, which gives. the best prospect of redeeming. . the province from the present muddle. It can accomplish this end:by | put- ting forward as candidates for the legislature men of such broad views, public. spirit and unquestioned in- tegrity as will not only.ensure.them the united support of the party but will draw to them the. great. mass |, of the . floating . vote mentioned. Having undertaken to raise the gov- ernment of the province from the slough of personal and «clique rule, it has a task which will call forth the best ability ofits best men.: By its success in restoring stable, pro- gressive government will be judged the efficacy of party lines as applied to the politics of the province. . It cannot serve the party better than by lending all its efforts to the. ser- vice of the country, which sorely needs them. It is fitting that Rossland Con: .

Mr. Ryder from his country store,where his mind has been centered on the selling of butter, cheese, eggs, cans of tomatoes, &c., the premier should post him on all the tricks of the pol- itician’s trade. Mr. Martin has been fooling people from Manitoba to the coast and is a past master in the art. EDITORIAL NOTES. Haggard Ryder, finance minister, is variously described as an itiner- ant merchant, a clerk and a juok, :dealer. A week ago he, was out of employment, and came down to There (Mr. Martin met him quite by acci- dent, hired him as -his minister of :finance,and took him on to Victoria ;to be sworn in.—New Westminster } Columbian, Martin tried to’ evade the effect of Mr. .Beaven’s report of Eastern opinion on the Martin-McInnes ‘au- tocracy,by misrepresenting the man who expressed the: opinion. The Long Martin described: is quite another Long from the Long who “roasted” Martin. Politics are still very much mixed up.
