seat as member for Lincoln acid
Niagara, one day last week. The.
Committee to whom his ease liad been
referred, had their report heady for
presentation to the Rouse, and Mr,
Rykortlearning that it was not
favorable to hint, handed in his re.
siguation.. The report, which has
since been adopted by the House,
speaks of Mr. Rykerels conduct as
discreditable, corrupt and scandalous,"
1l` writ has been issued for a new
election, the nomination to take place
on the 16th and election on the 28rd,
of the present month.
WEST IIIIBON.
The 'Reform Convention hela in
Goderich, on Monday last, was large,
Iv attended, representative men from
every polling place' being present.
Mr..T. T. Garrow, of Goderich, the
unanimous choice of the delegates, is
well 1ip0wu in all seutiens of the Ridgy•
itig as an honorable, upright gentle-
man, one well fitted to take the place
of the late representative, Hon. A. M.
Ross. • The uneeiwity and enthus-
iasm of the meeting were true
indications of the feeling throughout
the Riding. The sentiments express-
ed by the different speakers show that
Nest Huron is safe for Mowat and

proceeding of the Convention will lee
found in another column.
Nen year is the one for the Domi:n-
ion (tenses to be talteri. The Goverment
have already decided that the de jure
8
system, which was adoptedin 1. 1 7
and in 1881, shall be again followed.
By this system those of a household
who are temporarily absent, neither
resident in the pominion or in the
States, will be included iu the
enumeration. By the ole facto system
of taking the census and adopted in
Britan the enumeration is made in
one night. By the de jure system it
takes three months. Next year,there-
fore, the enumerators will commence
their duties on the first of April and
the returns must be completed by the
first of July.

representation of 126 out of a possible
138, so that it was a very lame and
representative gathering, a number of
Liberals, who were not delegatess,being
interested observers of the proceed-
ings.
MR. MBRnnzrrn and the Opposition
during the recent session were lotid in
their praise of the Dominion ballot
and condemned the Ontario system,
which they said afforded opportunity
for intimidation. Mr. Mowat field.
that by the Dominion system fraud
could be practiced without detection.
The Tomato Telegram (Independ-
ent Conservative) has this to say on
the sul'ject :
Opposition speakers do not increase
their chances of success in the pro-
vince by dwelling upon the enormities
of Mr. J1owat's refusal to giye the
people a seoret ballot,
As it stands the system prvailing
at provincial elections is infinitely
superior to the methods that govern
contests, for the Dominion Hous or in
the Municipal Council's. The num-
bored ballot is a safeguard aga'lnst
frattd, and its usefulness is proved by
the freedom of provincial coutests from
the charges of ballot box stuffing that
are often heard of in Dominion caul•
Deigns.
This artificial anxiety for secrecy
at the polls will not interest the pro-
vince. The Opposition cannot excite
the people over a small sized issue,
created by its demand for ballot
reform. The 0ntarie method is the
best in that It provides against fraud.
It is the greatest obstacle to dishonest
elections. Toronto has enjoyed a
sweet sufficiency of the Secret biillot.
The absence of. ".numbered ballots
enables the repeater to repeat and
dead men to vote. The Opposition
would force the Government back
w ien in the public interest is should
fig foward and apply the Ontario
System to the civic contests in the
large cities of the province.

Hou. A. 11Y. Ross, on coming for-
ward,was enthusiastically received and
made a short but 'vigorous address,
he explained tiie,feesons for his re-
tirement. He had not left the
Government because he was not in
harmony with his colleagues or be-
cause he had got out of touch with
his constituents, but for the reason
that of late his hearing hes become
iery defective, and he did not believe
that it was right for hint to retain . a
place'in the Government when his
fullest and best faculties could not be
devoted to the work Which -'devolved
upon hien. In addition to that, for
