CLINTON, ONT„ DEC. 7, 1900
The succession dues received by the
Ontario Government have passed the
million dollar mark. What anguish
it must cause the Government to "rob
the widows and orphans" in this way,
for that is what Mr. Whitney said it
did -when he was in opposition.
A year ago students of the Ontario
Agricultural College carried off the
,prize for combined judging at the ln-
teruational Live &oak show in Chic -
'ago. On Saturday last they did the
same thing again, beating the best
State experts. Canadiaus are whirlers
every time.
A bye -election for the Local House
was held in East Hamilton on Tuesday,
mused by the death of the late repre-
sentative. The riding has a large Con-
s irvative majority, but the Labor can-
didate beat the straight Conservative
by a majority of 839, very much to the
surprise of the Conservatives._ The
Liberals did not put a candidate in the
field, but it is likely they quietly sup --
ported the successful candidate. .
It is an open secret - that Mr Hugh
Spackman, of Exeter, Warden, is after
the noraination in South Huron for
the Dominion House. We don't pre-
tend to know the attitude of the Con-
servatives towards Mr Gunn., the pre-
sent representative, but we would as-
sume that he will again be up for
nomination. Both Mr Spackmaii and
Mr Gunn are popular'nieneuid shrewd
politicians, but we believe that if the
Liberals would settle their pet sonal
grievances, a man could be selected
who would defeat either of them at.
the next election.
