General elections for the Ontario legislature took place throughout the province yesterday, and resulted In a virtual, if not an actual defeat for the Liberal govern, ment, which has held power for mere than 25 years. The contest has been exciting, the Conservative leader, J. V. Whitney, being a young man and a new leader, while A. S. Hardy, tha premier, was the successor of Sir Oliver Mowatt, now lieutenant governor of Ontnrlo. The complexion of the last house was: Liberals, D3; Conservatives, 24; Patrons of Industry, 14; Independents, 3. The Patrons have been practically a branch of the Liberal party, so that the government has had a majority of thirty or more. The returns Indicate a great revulsion of feeling. In the 94 constituencies elections took place yesterday In 93, the other being post poned. In all hut two or three com plete returns are In, with tho follow ing results: Conservatives elected, 46; Liberals, 44; In doubt, 3. The proba bilities favor a slight Conservative ma jority. Two cabinet ministers have been defeated, John Dryden, minister of agriculture, and J. M. Gibson, com missioner of crowd lands. The result Is a surprise to the sup porters of the government. The Umbel policy of the administration, which li alleged to have favored Michigan! lum bermen at the expense of Caniftllans, had much to do with Premier Iljrdy'a defeat.
