. 1860 May 11, Grit Union, or A Scene
The great reform meeting on Wednesday last at Milliken's corners, was only another episode of the old game of overreaching & pious frauds, there were about 80 person present, The press represented by D Reesor, Set, of the Economist, W Orr of the Oshawa Vindicator, both Grits & ourselves. Three aspirants for Legislative honors were also present, Messrs. Bell, Farewell & Reesor. The 1st Resolution was moved by Mr. H Miller, Junior: that Delegates be appointed to meeting in convention to determine & agreee upon a Candidate resenting the Reform Party, Carried.
Mr. H Miller, at the suggestion of Mr. Reesor, proposed an amendment that the number of Delegates to represent each Municipality in the approaching Convention, be according to each 1,000 inhabitants, according to the last official census of 1850. this amendment was warmly opposed by Mr. Farewel who denounced it unjust in the extreme & charged Reesor with abandoning representation by population. Mr. H Miller said that the principle had already been abandoned by Geo Brown & the Reform party. Mr. Reesor said he was opposed because South Ontario had more votes than East & West York & therefore controlled the nomination of a candidate. Now occurred a one that nearly babbles description. The amendment wast carried by 25 against 20 only 45 out of 80 voting. Mr. Farewell denounced Reesor for endearing to cheat South Ontario of her just rights.
Mr. Flint denounced the farce of Mr Reesor & his friends saying the action of the meeting was preposterous, for either Vaughn, Etobicoke, South Ontario, nor Pickering ere anything like represented. At last finding nothing could be done, the meeting was adjourned till 19th inst.
