It was brought out in the evidence of officials of the Grand.

These tickets were largely used to bring in the out side vote, end the iinportant issue is, twill' the judges consider this sufficient o void the elections of those using them. The decision in this ease will to awaited with a great deal of:., in- terest.

Hee has not ntta•ndedthe meeting >'t of the l Xi Sl;artGnatrr,the general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, in his evidence in the North Perth election trial, gtvea his reasonn very plainly for supporting the Reform Party at the last Dominion elections. He says the Grand. Trunk Railway Company pays. an enormous stun, close upon $1,000,- 000 a year, in taxation or in duties, and they employ some 1.6,000 or 20 Q90 men, They love, therefore, a great interest in the prosperity ofthe Dominion, and an equal interest in the prosperity of own his shareholders. There is intervening , between the shareholders and their dividend the heavy taxation and a protective policy. The abolition of the latter would give the shareholders a dividend that at present goes out of the .country, and some $700,000 a year probably would go into the poceets of' the shareholders instead of being applied by the Con servative party,as it has been applied, towards the construction partly,' of lines competing with the Grand Trunk Railway Company, When 1 came Into office on the 1st of January I had occasion to' review the whole situation. I had been in Canada seventeen years. 1 came over from .England in 1874, but .I had never had anything what- ever to do with any question in politics or voted in my life, certainly not in Canada. I had taken no in- terest whatever in the political situa- tion, but when I Dame to assume the office of general manager of the Grand Truuk Railway I found that it was necessary for me to consider the political situation, that is the.opinions of the Conservative and the Liberal party, and to see which of these opinions would -react on the prosperity of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railway.' I came to the con - 'elusion that the general policy which was advocated by. the Reform party, that is the policy of doing away with as much taxation as possible and re lie ving, the induatries cif, the country from as mach impost as it was praotic- able to do, having regard to the fiscal. requirements of the country, was more in accord with my views, that it was more what the Grand Trunk Railway required than the policy of protection which was being pursued by the other side, and,I therefore lent my sym patbies, I say frankly, to the general policy which has been announced by the Reform party: The census In Huron. The second bulletin respecting the census, which has just been issued by the Department of Agriculture, relates to the population of the sub -districts of the province of, Ontario. The population of these sub•districts is given according to the electoral divis- ions established by the Redistribution Act of 1882. The following tare the figures for the electoral districts of Huron : rn$RON EAST, 1881, Blyth, village 914 Brussels, village 1,289 Grey 4,577 Howlok 5,616 Morris 3,815 Turnberry, , • 3,010 Wingham, town.... 1,918 Wroxetsr,village.,590 1891. 927 1,204 4,022 4,413 3,253 2,452 2,167 504 21,720 18,968 lttrirO T nonan.
