people have once more lapsed into
sympathy with corruption and mis-
rule. How to purify e'ections and
get true and honest expression of pop-
ular sentiment was a question which
.had Leen pondered upon by many
statesmen and political thinkers, but
this far no satisfactory plan hard been
tested. To his mind the grouping; of
constituencies on the principle set
forth by John Stuart Mill and Bartiot
was that which was hest calculated to
ensure permanent results, The
speaker then paid a high tribute to
the young Liberals of Ontario, and
said that he was in accord with them
on the reconstruction of the Senate,
revision of the constitution, the mak-
ing of treaties, Provincial rights and
topics. He closed by a ringing appeal
to all present to stand by the Reform
party and place themselves under the
leadership of Hon. Edward Blake, who
was destined in the near future to
guide the desitnies of this country as
its Premier. (Loud and prolonged
cheers.)
Short speeches wore made by Jas.
Somerville, M. P. for Brant, Hon. A.
M. Ross, and M. C. Cameron, M. P.
for West Huron.
A vote of thanks was unanimously
tendered the speakers, and cheers were
given for the Liberal leaders and the
Queen.

FRIDAY, OCT. 23RD, 1885.
SIR RICHARD AT LUCKNOW.
THE, TIDIES this week devotes a
goodly portion of its space to giving a
resume of the speech delivered by Sir
Richard Cartwright, at Lucknow, on
Friday last. We only regret that the
limited space at our command will
not permit of its production in full.
It was a insist estraordinary speech
It was brit iant, earnest,. clear and
logical, somewhat sarcastic, but devoid
of rancour, presenting facts and figures
-drawn .liar sanraes that cannot be
questioned which were a scathing
denunciation. sof the maladministration
of the present government, expo-ing it
to the light of day in all its corrupt-
-<em,, and expressed in such a manner
that coal^ not be easily misunderstood
or rizisconstrued. It was a speech that
encil:i be read by every man who has,
o, expects to have, a voice in the
*ffaira of this country When one of
the L.retn est stet.smen of this country
stands upon a public platform and
openly charges toe government, in-
divi-in illy and collectively, with such
corrupt practices as Sir Richard has
imputed to them, and when these
charges go unchallenged it is high
time for sober-tiinking men to pause
and consider. The fact that they go
unchalle..ged of itself warrants a
persun in believing them to be true.
Not only this, but for every charge i
that was made complete and con-
vincing evidence of its truthfulness
was farnished by Sir Richard. Let
everyone read this speech carefully so
that they may be. better informed as
to the true inwardness of the Govern-
ment of this Canada of ours.
NORTHWEST REPRESENTATION.
Speaking at Fort Qu Appelle the
the other day, the Hon. Thos. White,
the now Minister of the Interior, made
the important announcoment that the
Northwest Territories are to be grant-
ed representation in the Dominion
Parliament ; that the Government has
taken the preliminary steps by order-
ing a census to be taken, and that in
the next Parliament the people of
these territories will receive their fair
measure of representation in the
councils of the country. This was
what the people of the Northwest have
wanted, and itis what the Government
refused to give them until their just
dein Was won by rebellion. One of
the prune demands of the rebels dur-
ing the agitation which preceded the
outbreak, aiid one which thee E':iglish
Settlers were most desirions of, was
that their political rights should be,
recognized, as they believed that Par
liatnentary representation was the only
means to gain the attention of the
Government to their just complaints
of elle serious grievances under which
they uerdoubtodly labor. From this it
would appear that political rights can
only be obtained by rebellion and
bloodshed, and it presents a very
lamentable st ate of aff'i,irs, indeed. .A
terrible blunder was committed and it
is being righted now that the eleventh
hour is almost past.
THE TEMPEBANOE CONVENTION,
A convection of the temperauoe
workers of this county was held in
the town hall, Clinton, on Thursday''
last, which was largely attended by
repiesentative men from all parts of
the county. Much indignation was
expressed at the failure of the inspec-
tors appointed under the McCarthy
Act to do their duty, and a strongly -
worded resolution condemnatory of
their conduct was unanimously ad-
opted. The Dominion Government
will be petitioned to replace them with
men who will do their duty. The
convention authorize& its executive
committee to vigorously proceed With
the prosecution of offendors without
awaiting the action of the Govern
ment's officials appointed to do that
work. A resolution was adopted re-
commending the formation of au eget•
toral union in every municipality to
select men who will support temper-
ance principlesas candidates in ed-
ucational, municipal and Parliamen-
tary elections. The temperance
people of Huron are determined that
the Scott Kot shall be enforced.
B. I:. BOYLE, junior county judge,
has been appointed revising officer for
East and West Huron, and J. F.
Toms, county judge, revising officer
for South Huron

MR. EDITOR.—In your issue of Oct.
16th your Marnoch correspondent
states that "S.S. No. 11 have resolved
to change their second for a third-
class teacher, they having engaged T:`
Beecroft at a salary of $350." Your;
correspondent is a little too fast. S.
S. N' b. 11 did not reso;ve to change,
their teacher.. On the contrary, they
were anxious to retain her seevices for
1886 and offered her a sRlary of $350
which was a raise of $25 on her pres-
ent salary. This offer she re used,
saving she would not engage for 1NsF
than r'$375. This 'be trustees were
unwilling to give, thinking it too great
an advance at one time. They asked
her to reconsider her decision. She
then engaged in'S. S. No. 5, Turn -
berry, at a salary of $375, after which
Mr. Beecroft was engaged in S. S.
No. 11. ONE WHO KNows.
