THE stemnitTI011 To Bin, MOWAT..
The Toronto Reform Association has .
announced the 16th of September las the
day on which the reception shall be ten-
dered Mr. Mowat, in honor of the victory
he has achieved for provincial rights, and
the. Reform associations throughout the
province are invited to join in making the
demonstration such an expression of pub-
lic opiniott as such an achievement calls
for. The time fixed will be a •period. of
the year when the people will be at liberty
to attend, as seeding will be pretty well
over, and business generally is not likely
. to be very pressing. It has also been de-
cided to make the. demonstration as free
from partizanship as possible, his success.
in the boundary award being regarded.
more in the light of a provincial than a•
party triumph. • Of course, it is expected
there are many ultra -conservatives who
will not regard.it in this light, and cer-
tainly are not expected' to rejo`.ce over Mr..
Mowat/s success, but we believe there are
many who are not in affiliation 'with the
Reform party who ' are, nevertheless,
strongly in favor of Provincial rights; and
who regard the satisfactory settlement of
the boundary question as a legitimate oc-
casion for rejoicing, and for tendering
their thanks to the Premier and his col-
leagues for their unflinching champion.-
ship
hampion-ship of the cause of the province. Itis de-
sirable that every one who believes in the
maintenance'of local self-government and
the integrity of the provinceshould par-
ticipate in the c ebeatron,'whiel 'Iran
the.spirit_manifested at the preliminary
meeting, promises to be a grand -success.
• THE REFORM LEADER8H5F,.
The latest rumor, in political circlles is
that our Grit friends are calculating .the,
possibilities of deposing Mr. Blake from
the leadership of their party, and 3138%11-
ing some one whom they hope will be
more successful in leading them towards
the sunshine of office.—Goderich Star.
The editor of the Star is rather e. fine
fellow; personally; but his .case is an illus-
tration of the old adage that "evil come
municatioos corrupt good manners;" as
his association with a party which has
now.become devoid of all honest princi-
ple, leads him to say and do things that,
under other circumstances, he would not
do, which the above paragraph shows, as
" our Grit friends" are not calculating the.
p, •.:i'� 1tics of deposing Mr. Blake, and.
the Star cannot point to a single circum-
stance in support of its assertion.. There is
a wide difference between Tory papers agi-
tatiisg such a change. and the term " our
Grit friends." •,We can easily understand
why " cur Tory friends" would like to see
a change in the Reform leadership, be-
_
came it would create a hope .that the
shortcomings of the present corrupt ad-
ministration would not be as truthfully
and forcibly exposed as they have been by.
Mr. Blake. There Is no desire or inters-
tion on the part of Reformers to depose:
M"r. Blake, and further,zthere is no dissa-
tisfaction at the course he has pursued
except among bis political opponents:
We scarcely think any sensible person
will be"misled by the above extract, as no
confirnatory'evidence can,be found out:
side of a tory sheet: To wilfullyanisrepre.
sent almost everything .political is appa-
y
fetal' t'.:o bole object of•the•Sadly degene-
rated tory papers, andthey perform this
mission ,remarkably well.
For the information of tht4"Star'aud• all
others of its:way of thinking in politics,
we would just say that Reformers general-
letare not anxiously desiring office, only
so far as they may be able to advance the
interests of the country by holding it.
At the Conservative convention held at
.Napanee onSaturdty, Gen. I. Blackstock,
barrister, Toronto, (son of the Rev. W. 5,
Blackstoek) was nominated as their repre-•
sentative in the coming election for the
Local Leg'iOature, rendered necessary by
the death of Mr. Roe. Those Tory papers
that have been raising such a dust about
" outside 'representatives," as in the case
of West Ontario and South Huton, will
now have an opportunity of showing their
sincere (?) disapproval of this domination.
That Blackstock will bo defeated 1s(
clearly shown by the fact that a local man
would not accept the nomination. '

Shortly after the West Middlesex Local
election, when Mr. O. W. Roos, Minsiter
of Education, wa; returned over Jumbo

frankly in favor of free Trade without hes

granting of subsidies. 'to one class out of
taxes paid by the whole. A half and half
poolicy, ft tarafor-reyenne and incidental-
protection policy is as ridiculous as it
ineffective. People turn away groin it in-
stinctively as a sham.—Montreal Witness.
This is not the first time the Witness
has •found fault with the Reform party for
being willing to take half a loaf when it
knew it wile impossible to obtain a whole
one. It is atdmitted that the principle of
free trade,is the .correct one, no matter
what coursforeign nations may pursue;
but • those who areacquainted w th the
public know that the knowledgg'R s itt'
cal economy is socircumscribed at b
comparatively few would support its adop-
tion, Direct taxation is the skeleton that
frightens: a great •number, and many others
hope to avoid paying their share of taxa-
tion when it is collected in a round -about
away, These parties, together with pro-
tectionists, would defeat a free -trade poli
cy, but we believe they would support a
tariff -for -revenue policy. So long as a re -
Venni) is obtained .by excise, Bo long will
it be necessary to maintain a cordon of cus-
tom houses, otherwise a vastamount of
unexcised 'liquor and tobacco would be
brought into the country and consumed.
The Witness is perfectly at liberty : to
institute'a free -trade party, 'and proclaim•
no; compromise, but we think it would
soon find it as foolish and unsucces:fuI as
it would have.been'for temperance advo-
cates to have:. rejected the Crooks and

A protest was ace,prdingly'entered against

Ferguson, found to be without the slight-

and the judges threw the protest out in the
following terms;—We are of opigion that
the evidence does not sustain any . one of
the charges, and the petition is therefore,
dismissed with costs. 1t did come out in

hysterically shout about-•-West-Middlesex
