On the eve of the general election in Prince Edward Island, which will tnke place tomorrow, the leaders on both sides express conildence In the outcome. If the political history of the province during the past few years is any Indication of the out come, whichever side wins, the vic tory is pretty certain to be won by a very narrow margin. For a' good many years the electorate has been almost evenly divided between the liberals and the conservatives. The provincial assembly had a liberal ma jority of two until the recent bye elections transferred that majority to the conservative side. The recent defeat of the Laurier government and the downfall of the! Palmer administration depressed the! liberal forces for the time being, and proportionately advanced the hopes j ami confidence of the conservative i The latter appear confident that the election will result in a substantial victory for Premier Mathieson nnd his liberals under the able leadership of the Hon. John Richards, ex-commls-colleagues. On the other hand, the sioner of agriculture, have waged a vigorous campaign and they are not at all Inclined to concede the victory to the conservatives. .sIlslsssIl of Our LA GRANDE NATIONAL BANK BUILDING DEPOT & A DAMP.
