LIBER.:1L CONVENTION POST-
PONED.
Tne East Huron Liberal Conven-
tion announced to be held in the
Town Hall, Brussels, on Saturday of
this week has been postponed until
Good Friday, April 3rd, owing to
the inability of Dr. Macdonald and
other speakers to leave Ottawa on
the first date. Addresses are expect-
ed from the well known D. C. Fraser,
M. P., of Nova Scotia; A. Campbell,
M. P., of Kent Co.; Jas. McMullen,
M. P., Wellington, and the members
of the Riding; Dr. Macdonald and T.
Gibson. There will likely be an
evening meeting as well as one in
the afternoon. There should be a
large attendance.
.ANOTHER UNSIGNED MANI-
FESTO.
The ease with which resolutions
are passed must make those in charge
of the Remedial Bill green with envy.
Then a bottle of ink, a pen, a sheet
of appropriate foolscap and the
ability to write a "good, round hand"
can in a few moments turn a "resol-
ution" into a "manifesto." Some
one must have got together these
articles by hook or crook in Toronto,
for there is being sent to the press
from that city a "manifesto," issued
by the "Canadian Republican Com-
mittee," declaring that the time has
come to change from a degrading!
colonial dependency to a free, pros -i
perms and independent Canadian
republic. The "usurers and the
bondholders of England" come in for
so much hearty execration that we
suspect that the writer of the "mani-
festo" must have gone into debt for I
his pen, ink and foolscap. Our r,oi -'
ticians are charged with having
"sold" Canada to England, being'
paid therefor in Imperial titles. The
names of the "Committee" are not
given. It is to be an anonymous
revolution. Canada is to be rescued
from the horrors of monarchial
tyranny by men who are too modest
to let their names get into the papers.
It may be that they fear to be known
so soon lest Imperial titles be offered
them with fatal results. -Montreal 1

THE LOWER WINGHAM ESCAPADE.I
The unfortunate affair that was
enacted in Lower Town, on Tuesday
night .of last week has suddenly
taken a much more serious turn than
was looked for, and many a respect-
able citizen, who gave vent to out-
raged decency in thoughtless excla-
mations such as all will use in times of
tion, and we believe, in doing so, we
are voicing the _sentiments of every
right thinking citizen. If one half
be true that was said of him, Field
was beyond doubt a most inhuman
wretch, but we have British law for
such cases and though it intght have
been difficult to have obtained proof
of guilt, yet there are officials paid
by the Government, whose duty it is
to ferret out such cases and who every
day they are bringing to light and
justice, cases where proof of guilt is
just as difficult to secure as it would
have been in this case. It is useless
to say that the authorities had tried
to prosecute before and failed. Was
there not exidence accummulating
against him every day since the first
unfortunate occurrence, but it only
exemplifies the old proverb that
what is everybody's business is no-
body's business.
EDITOR1AI,4 NOTES.
IT Is announced that Jos. Martin,
M. P. for Winnipeg will not be a
candidate for Parliament at the next
election.
Mn. D. C. FRASER and Dr. Lander -
kin will address meetings at Flesher -
ton and Markdale, on Friday and at
Paisley and Chesley, on Saturday.
ENGLAND is making great prepara-
tions to send an expedition into Africa
to support the Italians and defend
British interests. France does not
like it any too well.
AT A meeting cf the Orangemen
at Bracebridge, a resolution was
passed calling on Mr. John A. Mc-
Gillivray, M. P., to oppose all attempts
at remedial legislation in • Parlia-
ment.
SIR CHP.S. TUPPER has announced
Ito the House that Mr. Greenway will
I be invited to Ottawa to'confer with
I the Government after the division on
the second reading. It is else said
that Mr. Laurier will also be invited
Ito attend the conference.
SIR CHARLES TUPPER, Bart. cut
a deplorable figure in the House the
other day, when he was forced to
admit that he had read a private
telegram from Mr. Greenway to Sir
Donald Smith, without obtaining
permission, and a garbled edition of
it at that.
IT Is urged on behalf of Father
Lacombe that he is an innocent old
missionary priest who has spent his
life among the Indians of the North-
west and is utterly unaccustomed to
the ways of politicians. If he is a

Ottawa and get back to his mission
field as fast as possible. Ottawa at
present is not a safe place for him.

The death is anounced of ex-

On Wednesday, lllarch llth, the
residence of Mr. Edward IIaines
was the scene of a happy event,
when his neice, Annie T,, one of the
most estimable young ladies of
Wawanosh, was united in marriage
to Mr. Wil. McQuillan, of the same
place. At 6 o'clock p. m., during
the playing of the wedding march
by Miss Vivian Clayton, of Listowel,
the interested parties entered the
well -tilled parlor and took their res-
pective places, the bride leaning on
the arni of her father, 111r. Robert
Haines. The Rev. Mr. Miles, B. A.,
of Lucknow, then proceeded with
the marriage ceremony. The
amiable young bride, who is very
popular, owing to her social standing
and the active part she takes in
Church work, and who lives not for
herself but for the welfare of others
in the community, was becomingly
attired in a handsome costume of
cream cashmere, trimmed with lace
and ribbon. Her sister, Miss Jennie
Haines, who was dressed in pale
pink cashmere, trimmed with ribbon,
acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Harry
McQuillan, brother of the groom as
best man. After partaking of the
luxuries, the Rev. Mr. Miles treated
the newly married couple to some
good advice to be their guide
through life. Among the guests
were Mr. and Mrs. M. McPherson, of
Grand Valley, uncle and aunt of the
bride, and Misses Annie T. and
Jessie Blain, of Grimsby, cousins of
the bride; de Mis s Vivian tarn Clayton, of
Listowel ; Mrs. McQuillan, mother of
the groom ; Messrs. Ed. and John
McQuillan, brothers of the groom ;
Mr. and Mrs. D. Archer, - Mr. and
Mrs. W. Webb, Miss E. J. McQuillan,
Mr. Richard McQuillan, Mr. James
McQuillan and Master Albert Mc-
Quillan, cousins of the groom ; Mr.
J. Andrews, jr., of Lucknow; Mr.
and Mrs. J. Edwards and Miss Lizzie
Edwards, the Misses Woods and Mr.
Robt. Durnin, of St., Helens ; Mr.
Thomas Woods and Miss Mar,•y
Woods, of St. Helens ; Miss Miles, of
Lucknow ; Mr. H. Macey, of St.
Helens; Miss J. Phillips and Miss S.
Addison, of Fordyce. The presents
were numerous, with variety and
taste and we feel assured that her
husband will not only enjoy a well
kept home, but a happy home, made
so by a seeming Christ like spirit.
The festivities were kept up until an
early hour. We are sure all the
I friends can heartily join in wishing
this young couple a happy and pros-
perous life here and eternal life here-
after.

assembled for the purpose of danc-

The concert which was held in our
school house here, on Friday evening
of last week was largely attended
but the programme was not as good
as was expected owing to the absence
of some of the talents. Mr. Harry
Wells occupied the chair and did
ample justice to the position.
On Sunday evening last, a Mr.
Tramp entered the school house and
put up for the night. As far as we
can understand the used some rough
