FRIDAY, SEPT. 5, 1884
LENNox adds another plume to the
head of Mr. Mowat, the Reform candi-
date, Mr. Hanley, redeeming the constitu-
ency on Friday by a majority of 45, Mr:
Roe, the Conservative who formerly re-
presented this constituency, had been
elected by 175 of a majority, so that the
election of Mr. Hauley indicates quite a
change in sentiment.:
THE Globe is unmercifully hard upon
Mr. Blackstock, because he failed to win
the election in Lennox. Doubtless -he did.
his beat to win, and may perhaps- have.
spent considerable wealth in the fruitless
attempt to succeed, but defeat itself is
galling enough, without the fact being
continually noted, especially when he was.
assured on all hands thtit "his election
was certain." The '1'.oryomanagers evi-
dently found thatBlackstock was a strong.
er—and they tool; him in. .It is: quite
naturalfor the Globe to -i.ejoice oyer his
defeat, and papers on the other side would
have been just . as sarcastic, if they, had
got a chance. - .
THE Toronto News intimates that H.on.,
Alex. Mackenzie and party are travelling
in the northwest as ',deadheads" having
for their use the offieial car of the C.P.R.
If true, it shows a lack of judgmeut on
the part of the ex -premier not in accord-
ance with his usual prudence. The fact,
of the official car being placed at his dis-
posal is no evidence that he does not pay
his expenses the same as an ordinary in-
-dividual. We do not suppose there is a
Conservative member of. the House but
would go "anywhere and everywhere"
free, if the opportunity was afforded them,
—but--t-he practise=is-asbadsene--forspiililie
men to follow.

The Reformers of South Huron meet at
Hemel! on the 10th inst., to
dele-
gates to the Mowat demonstration elect hose
of East Huron, at Brusals, to -morrow, 6th
Inst.: those of Goderieh some day neat
week, When are the Refomera of Clinton
going to hold a meeting for a like pur-
pose? No date has yet been fixed, and
the time isgetting abort. Every Reform-
er who iswilling to go to Toronto on the
16th inst., whether appointed .a delegate
or not, will be considered as such, and
entitled to a badge on presenting himself
there. Delegates from Huron should as-
aemble at the Walker House, Toronto, at
11.30 a.m. sharp, so as to arrange to be
all together, We hope the different town-
ship associations will. bestir themselves,
if they have notalready done so, and: see
delegations are sent down, so that Hu-
ron may bear its-pait.in doing honor to
the Hon. Oliver Mowat." The demonstra-
tion promises to be a grand success, and.
will unquestionably bo the greatest ex-
pression of public esteem ever tendered li
public man in Canada..;
A. RAILWAY committee • at Goderieh;
which embraces two editors among its
menrlters, has been compiling statistieto
show what the state of the lake trade at
that port amounted to soineyears ago. As
this trade is now much less than it was
several years ago, the. committee, seeking
a reason for the decrease; .attribute it in •
tote to the antagonism of the Grand.
Trunk Railway, We did: think theedi
tors, at least, .would know better than this.
The railway may not have done all that it.
could to advance the interests of Gode-
rich., but the committee mast be blind .as
,bats if they do not know . that " the lake
trade as the phrase is understood com-
mercially, isnow far less .than it wasten
years ago, because "through freights,"
which were formerly carried by water, aro
carried at such rates by the railroads that
boats cannot' compete therewith. . Very
fel: ports -except the most important ones:
—now count their lake trade as -anything,
and the .Goderieh committee are only.
building a castle of cards when. they take
figures of past years, and expect ;to equal
themnow in the shipping line. ,
A MOVEMENT is on foot in the 'county
of Essex to take the county buildings from
the town of Sandwich to soine more suit-
able locality, Sandwich, it appears, is: a
good deal like Goderieh, being an • anti-
quated one-horse ;place,. W ith scarcely any
life, and no prospects of ever being,better.
In this respect Goderieh. and Sandwich
;Ire identical: ..fn order to bring the'ques
tion to an° issue, a vote will be taken at
'.he next meeting of the Essex county
couhcil, to test the' feeling,:favorablc to a
transfer of the buildings. It is believed:
that the buildings will be moved , 4 no
distant day, so that:it is .quite evident'
that public sentiment on this question
rips in the same channel in Essex as .it.
does in Huron, for the people of this
county are also of opinion that: it would
be advantageous to. move- fliercounty
buildings from Goderieh
For, some time past the C. P. R., for
reasons which may .be imagined, have
been, making surveys and givingpromises
of building a link of railway in 'connec
tion with the Credit Valey, that would
give to the people of London a competing.
line With the Grand Trunk, but up to the
present time no signs are made of proceed-
ing with the work, giving good evidence
for believing the whole thing is .done for
effect. During this time the Globe has.
published some severe and truthful crit,=
cisme upon the whole management of the
C. P. R. Co., which has extorted several
letters from President Stephens,''defend-
ing the course of the C.P.RR., in one of
these letters, to John Carling; occurs this
sentence : " If the People of Irondon wish
to bavo'the line built, let them use their
influence to prevent the Globe from ob-
structing the C. P. R. CO;" Is there any.,,
one so simple as to believe that the utter
antes of the Globe would prevent the con
struetion of the.road for a single moment?
No, indeed I. What troubles the eompany
is the fear that the exposures and warn-
ings of the, Globe will open the eyes of
the people of Canada to the enormous
wrong that is being done theist by the C.
P.R., and also prevent further raids •upon
the treasury during the approaching • ses-
sion of parliament.
In connection with this matter a rumor
has been act afloat that the Syndicate. has
bought sufficient stock of the Globe to
have a controlling influence over it. his
possible this might be the ease, but.not
probable, for so soon as its tone changed
in this ;natter the mastership would be
suspected, and then its influence would be
gone, and stronger opposition than ever
raised to the syndicate. Since this was
in type the (;lobe emphatically deities the
statement,
Since the above was in type the Cllobe
has given the rumor anoint blank denial,
and says that, like ;ill similar •rumors, it
was starlet, t•, ?'atrt•_• a c>tt(ideli(e.

THE protest against Mr. Cameron, the
Reform M. P., for West Middlesex, has
been-d.ism aesed--evith—costa,—ntots-se—angle-
evidence of corruption beingifound against
him. The opponents of Messrs. Ross and.
Cameron, in :• West Middlesex; laid 228
charges against these gentleitien, and it
certainly speaks, volumes for the fairness
with which they', conducted ,,the election,.
when not 'as solitary charge is . proven

time, as. they have met: with some bad
reverses lately.

lowing additional particulars about the
death of Mr.' W. Bah son of Mrs. Bay, of
Clinton.
"Conductor William Bay, of the C S R divis
sion, died this (Wednesday) at 0.40. The
sad news spread, rapidly though the city,
and was received with surprise and borrow,
for those who had heard of Ms illness hoped.
it would not terminate fatally, and many had
not heard of it at all, and having seen him
on the streets four or tive days ago looking
well, they were greatly shocked to hear of
hie death. Conductor Bay was a general fa-
vorite on the Canada Southern, both with
the officials and his fellow employes, and lie
won, the respect of the citizens by his, cour-
teous and gentlemanly manner, For the last
three months he has suffered from heart dis-
ease, though not to tncapaeiate him from.
performing" his duties. He .took a pleasure
trip to Old Orchard Beach and returned a
couple of weeks ago and resumed his duties.
Lack Saturday his disease assumed a danger,
ons character, and he was taken by some
friends to Mr. Stephen Pocook's rrome,
where he died, this morning, W,Bay was horn
in Dublin,Ireland, in 1841, and was therefore
forty-three years of age at the time of his
death. Iiia parents were Scotch; natives of
Edinburgh; his father was a civil engineer in

ed in the coast survey. He was the County
Engineer of Huron for years. William

quite young, and spent his boyhood in Clin-
ton, when eighteen years of age he entered
the service of the Grand Trunk as a telegraph
operator, and •was afterwardslpromoted to
various poeitona pf trust and importance on
,that road. For several years he was station-
ed at Buffalo, where he filled.' the office of
cashier. He left the service of the Grand.
'J'runk '
to 'enter that of the Shenango &
Alleghany road as, sssiatant superintendent.
He afterwards -held good positions on the.
Pan Handle and Atlantic &, Western roads.
Eight: years ago he entered the service of the
Canada Southern railway as train despatchers--
which
espatcher;which position he ably tilled for seven years.
About a year ago he desired a change, being
tired of confinement to the office, sad, the
superintendent appointed him an express
conductor. • Mr. Bay. was .married, , anti
leaves a wife. and 'one 'daughter; seventeen
years,of age.".
• Several members of the family were
present 'with him when 1i died. •The

friends of deceased, and interred in'Clin-
ton :cemetery .on Friday. • A beautiful
floral .tribute sxasa'lso .brought from De-
troit,by deceased's friends,and was a silent
testimony of. their •friendship and love.
It represented .a small liillside, on which

The following from a recent issue of the
St. Catharines News, will be of interest to
persons here, the venerable Dr. Williams be•
ing+ so well known amongst usi--
Last• evening, the: Methodist paisonage,
'Church street, was the scene of a most de-
lighted company. Dr.. and Mrs. Williams
were made gladbya reunion:of their children
and grandchildren. From Montreal andTexas,
from ,Rochester and Medina, N. Y., from
Clinton. and Brampton, and St. Thomas they,
came; until• nineteen had reported Mrs.
Boice,: of Texas, and two grandchildren being
the ouly absent ones. Last evening all as-
eembled in they spacious parlor.. Mr: Rosa
sang a selection. R. W. Williams, M. D„
of Clinton, in behalf of all, in a very happy
speech, present Dr. Williams with au • ele-
gant study chair. It was a complete sur-
prise to the Dr:, but he bravely kept back
the tide of emotion and replied in very fitting
worde.e Mrs. G. W. ,Williams gave an instru-
mental eel°,
nstru.mentalaelo, and Mr. W. E. Roes presented
Isirs. DR Williams with an elegant gold
Witch. The mother was too full for utter-
ance but iu very appropriate words conveyed
her thanks to the children. The days and
nights are filled with music and song for
most charming singers'and.players do credit
to early training of • the head of the house;
who is the author of several fine. pieces. Lor
once the moat amplo parsonage has been tried
to itsutmost capacity for both bed and bond.
Th4'wholo affair must be very gratifying
to all concerned, and as the years pass will be
a bright spot in their .memory:
