The New Era, 1884-06-06, Page 6West Huron Reformers.
The West Huron Reform Convention
was held in Dugannon, on May 28th, in
Martin Hall. There was a good represen-
tation from every polling snb•diviaion,
making altogether a very large attendance.
In the absence of the President of the As•
bociatiou, Mr.W.Young, Reeve of Celbone
township, was called to the chair. The
Secretary, Mr. Robt. Harrison, of Ash-
field, explained the object of the meeting.
The following executive offices were elect-
ed for the ensuing year :—President, Mr.
Chas. Girvin, Reeve of West Wawanoah ;
1st Vice -President, Mr. Wm. Mallough,
_Ashfield ; 2nd Vice -President, Mr. Chas.
Seager, Goderich ; Treasurer, Mr. J. F.
Andrew, Ashfield ; Secretary, Mr. Robt.
Harrison, Ashfield. The work of town-
ship organization was then proceeded with,
and good working committees were ap-
pointed—one for each polling subdivision
in the riding. After this a number of stir-
ring addresses were delivered.
Hon. A. M. Ross, the firat speaker, op
coming forward was received with loud
and prolonged cheers. He said he was
pleased to meet so many of his constitu-
ents and so representative a body of men
on this occasion. Soule two years had
elapsed since the time when he last appear-
ed at a convention in Dungannon, and on
that occasion the organization had been so
perfect that they had been enabled to carry
successfully the two elections that after-
ward followed. It was to be hbped that
this cunventon would be equally fruitful
of good results. One of the delegates pre-
sent to -day had mentioned the fact that
no member of Parliament had been pre-
sent at the temperance eonventi,o1 held
yesterday at Clinton. In reply he would
state that upon one thing the temperance
people could depend, and that was that
the Reform members of the Local House
-were almost a unit in favor of the tem-
perance cause. One of the har,leet things
the Mowat Government had to'li ;ht in the
last election was the bitter spirit which
had been engendered against u. by the
liquor interest, urged on by the leaders of
Tory sentiment. The Crooks Act had
provided a good law for the aim of temper-
ance, and the labsrs of the Local Govern-
ment had been, and would continue to be,
to promote the improved working of tem-
perance legislation. To -day a goer' deal
of time had been taken up iu the wurk of
organization, but he looked upon that as
being thee well spent, for after all was
said and Clone elections were carried by
urganicttion. In the last Dominion elec-
tion held in West Huron, the loss of one
vote in each of the polling sub -divisions
would have caused the defeat of Mr.
Camerou, who now so ably represents the
county. hour or five votes neglected in
each polling stab -division would have re:
duced (Mr. R ss =own majority of 167 to
a minority. ge number of members
in the Local House had majorities under
cn0, and a very small change would have
sufficed to render them minorities, hence
necessity for thorough organization. He
then went on to discuss the improper
manner in which the Conservative readers
and their hired press had endeavored to
make a dead set upon Ontario. He urged
them to remain -loyal to Liberal interests
and the rights of Ontario, and to be true
to themselves and their country. He
closed a brilliant address of over an hones
duration amidst loud and prolonged ap•
plause.
Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, was the next speak-
er. 10 opening ha paid a high tribute to
the sterliug abilities and political worth of
Hon. A. M. ltoss. Tho Liberal party had
atone much for Ontario, although the work
had beset militated against to a great ex-
tent by the actions of Sir John Macdonald
and his satelites. Sir John had said he
eould veto every Act passed by the Legis-
lature. if this were so, Ontario certainly
was not a gainer by Confederation. But,
it. had been proven in these iostauces be-
fore the Privy Council that Sir John's
opinion on Constitutional -law was not the
hest, and it was probable that before long
he would learn that the rights of our Pro-
}ince•were not to be tampered with with
itnputiity. The speaker then referred in
fitting terms to the ability and political
standing of MIs. M. C. Cameron, and
named him as a coming titan in the Liberal
Cabinet that would, ere long, be formed
under the able leadership of Hon. Edward'
Blake.
Mr. M. C. Cameron, M. P., on coming
forward was greeted with a tumult of app
plause. He said that owing to the late-
ness of the hour it would be impossible
for him to give even a brief outline of the
faults and rascalities that had been perpe-
trated by the Dominion Government dur--
ing its last session. Fault had been found
by previous 'speakers because attempts
had been made to buy up people in the
Legislature, with small sums of money,
hot that fact should not startle any of
them, when it was known that in tke Do-
minion
Parliament the bribery was dune
with millions. 11e did not believe there
was a euuutry iu the world, except Cana-
da, that would not have been driven to
rebellion by the high-handed and reckless
manner in which the Government • acted
last setsioo. .Revolutions had been start-
ed and thrones had been overturned in
ether -countroei for less cruises. Tho Syn-
dicate deal, the whitewashing of Sir Chas.
Tupper, the election by Act of•Parliament
of meutt.ers of Parliament who hail' obtain-
ed a minority vote, the veto of the Streams
Bill, the paRsing of the McCarthy Act,
the non-ralificat'ion of the Boundary
Award, and the init]. uitiocs land lawe in
the north-west, were taken up and their
enormity exposed. However, he looked
for tho dawning of a blighter day, when
the nun of Liberalism would pierce the
dark clouds which at present hid its rays,
and when truth, honor, and integrity
would take tho place of the falsehood, oer-
ruption, and dtahonesty that at present
held sway in high places. For himself he
had no aspirations for a Cabinet position,
but ho had an ambition to see the reins of
power once more in the hands of an honest
Liberal Government. As he concluded
his able speech loud, applause was given
by the large gethering.
TNR CONVENTION'S VIEWS;
It was then moved, seconded and unani-
mously carried, "That we, the Reformers
of the West Priding of Huron in conven-
tion assembled, desire to place on record
an expression of our confidence in the pre -
Bent Government of the Province of On-
tario, led by the Hon. Oliver Mowat, and
our unqualified condemnationof the die,
honest and corrupt, and scandalously ex-
travagant regime at present in )dower at
Ottawa. We'alao hereby express Mir ad-
miration of the patriotic course so ener-
getically pursued by the talented, though
nuiiperically weak, Opposition in the Fede,,,
ral Parliament, led by-#fon. Ddwarsl Blake)
in fighting dishonesty and corruption in
high places, in battling for the rights of
the people, and in resisting the creation
of gigantic monopolies that are rapidly
fastening themselves. with even- tightening
grip upon our fair young country. Wo
desire further to extend our heartiest con-
gratulations to our worthy local represen-
tative, Hen. A. M. Ross, on .his appoint+
ment to the high and honorable position
of Treasurer of this Province;; and t ' r '
as
press our unbounded confidence • both in
him and. our talented ilcpre entative in
the Dominion Parliament, Mr. M. C.
Cameron, who haa,so diligently and ably
discharged his duty during the late sea.
Sinn."
Speeches in support of the resolution ,
were made by Messrs. Cameron: and Me.
Gillicuddy, and . the meeting was brought
to a close.

They sail the ocean blue, those who are
to present the case of Ontario tb the Privy '
Council, and those who are opposed.
There is every reason to hope that the ad-
vocates of Ontario will carry the day. A
singular fact is the reluctance of the Do-
minion Counsel to accept; 11'1r Christoper
Robinson threw up hill brief, and it is said.
Mr. Dalton McCarthy refused. This re-
fusal might be the result ol`persolal pique,
because he was Rot selected in the first, .
but, coupled with Mr. Robinson's action,
we are led to ooncludethat it is owing to`.a
belief in the weakness of the case of the
Dominion and an opinion that juetice and
equity lies on the aide. of the Province..
In a few days Hon. Mr. Mowat and Mr.
Mills for Ontario, and Attorney -General

A hard hearted political economist, looking
at pale and puny child feebly rasping as it
lies upon the pillow, says that the child alight

life will never be -worth much anyhow. There

who are Or not much account anyhow, And
what's the use of addingto their/aumber another
weakling, who has blit •slender, chance cf over,
