FRIDAY, NOV: 9, 1883,

The Conservatives held a convention,at
Smith's: IIill,_on Wednesday, to select a
candidate -to oppose the fetlirn of ion. A.
• M. Ross, but we have not learned the re-
sult thereof up, to -the time' of going to
press. A good, many belonging 'to th t
,party are unfavorable to bringing out a
candidate, regarding Mr. Ross as an:ex-
ceptionally--goodman- for -the -position;
EDITORIAL NOTES.
THE general public are becoming con-
vinced day by day that the syndicate and
the Dominion Government are one and
the same thing
and believing -as they have every -reason -
to, that it would be impossible to beat
him. He has been successful in three
contests, and has yet' to have the first im-
proper act charged against him. •
Mr. Ross is well known to the people.
of West Huron, and it is hardly necessary
for us to say anything about him. He
bas occupied the very responsible -position
of County Treasurer for twenty years, and
it is universally admitted that no better
man in the countycan be found and:
, and
— --ing-that-perioddof-service; not the first it
regularity or error of any kind has been
found against him. His position, also; as
bank manager, has also further qualified
him for the duties of Provincial'Treasurer,
while his speeches-bothan-and-out_of_the_
House have shown him to be thoroughly
familiar rith all financial issues of the
day.
The Mail iis vedesirous-that a con-
test should take place, and states that it
"will watch the issue with interest:" The
, and that wile the _gov-
ernment is pretending to help the syndi-
cate, they are Lining ^their own pockets
with the money of the people.
_HE editor of' the Goderieh Stat ig-a,
Sunday School teacher, if we mistake not, -
and we are sorry to say this:faet does not
prevent his publishing wilful falsehoods.
When he refers to the Mowat Ministry as
a "Dakota syndicate" he shows his par-
tizan spirit and contempt for the truth, for
he knows;perfectlywell that the ministry
has nothing to do with Dakota.
A TORONTO genius claims\,to 'have'in-
vented a new snow plow, which be ,be-
lieves ; will effectually keep tracks•olear in
the heaviest storm,-The_rnain, principle
of the
invention is that hot pipes are
-forced against a snow bank, which, he -be-
lieves will instantly melt and disappear
like the, glistening dew before a morning
sun. This -mayook very well in theory,
but we are afraid that in- practice it will
be quite adifferent thing. Some of the
snow dr_ifts,ieacountered in this neighbor-
hood Last winter would freeze up the hot-
test pipes in no time, or drown' out the
fires of, an engine, if Ached

Perhaps the inventor does not knowwliat"
'a -genuine Canadian snow drift is like.--
IT- LOOKS very much as if the News
(the "evening edition of the Mail) foresee-
ing the coming change in public opinion,
was preparing too go with the people; at
any -rate -it -expresses opinions totally at -
variance with the latter, 98 the .fol1owiig
in reference to the Government's guaran-
tee of C. P. R. bonds show :—
Conservatives,
—
Conservatives,! here, who can easily fore-
see inwhat cohdition a contest is likely
• to leave them, are not eager )for a contest,
and have no': lesitation in so expressing
themselves. Mr: T. W. •Johnston polled
as large a vote as they can xpect 'any
eandidate to receive, 'and. certainly a
larger one than will be polled by theop,
ponent of Mr. Ross, if such .there be, in
the present election.
-' No matter who should be Mr. Rocs' op
ponent, we expect toseg every lover of
- the province turn out and record his vote.
Our Reform friends, we are confident,
need no words of encouragement to arouse
them to enthusiastic and united action.
They,endorsed,the course of the Mowat
Ministry last February, by . a handsome
majority, and as no specially new.issues
have arisen since that time, there is no
reason why they -should reverse that de:
clsiou.
People of" all classes should feel proud
that we " have iu the county one who is
honored with'a position in (the govern-
ment-of the province, and instead ofoffer-
in factious opposition to his return
g pl ,
should lend their assistance . towards' se-
curing his elevation to the position. in
which he is:placed.
For aught we know, the Conservatives
May not offer,' any opposition to 2Mr Boss,
but in case they do the election will be
held `on the 17th inst., and we shall then
expect tosee the. Hon, A. M: Ross
— ermphantly returned as repreaeutative of

the West Riding of lluron by a larger
majority than'eveih.,,,•

TITE Syndicate are trying to grind out
of the farmers of the northwest all they
possibly can, their latest outrage being an.
order that no graincanbe loaded into a
car without it first", passes through , their
elevators, and` for which they charge 10
cents a bushel, which reduces the price of
grain that mulch. The Manitoba Moun-
taineer, published at Nelson, in a , strong;
article _ denouncing - theoutrage, closes
with these ominous words, which, we dare
Say, express Manitoba sentiment. •pretty.

"The only
"The'only effectual' remedy for outrages
such as this is the complete annihilation;
of the monopoly. The people now under-

possible,; give them an indemnity, or any-
thing in reason whereby it can be quietly

THE Expositor says that Mr. D. D Wil
soli paid out $300,000 for eggs during the
past year. Now, as the j roductiionof
these eggs required'' labor, t.i'' ;ir'gathering,':
packing, shipping,' Sac., required still fur-
ther labor, and all'of thea) were disposed
of in a foreign country, so ,that their' sale
was-a-clear',gaiu to the country; would it
not be much wiser to givea bonus liir the.
production of eggs rather than a-bbnus,to
the manufacturers of pig iron, which:can-
not be shippedout of the country, even
after thebonus i of $1.50 per ton is paid -
upon it by, the Government, and a still
further bonus in the shape of $$ a ton'
protection duty. ; The producers and ship-
pers'of these eggshave to contribute to -
"wards the bonus and duty on riron, but
the iron manufacturers do not in-, the
slightest ',degree contribute anything to
assist the egg producers. , If . farmers'
would exercise a little common sense they
would see how their interests have to, suf-
fer'.in'every instance for the protected
manufacturer, -
the government does,not readily listen to -
the .,complaints made, and act upon the
petitions presented for improvement,' they
may expect more decisive steps -to bet'ak-
en and radical changes decided upon;,
