Dr. Dunlop, first representative
Parliament for the area known
the Huron Tract was in 1844 )
pointed to the superintendency of
the Lachine Canal. Upon giving up
his legislative seat he introduced to
the electors a young man of the'
name of William Cayley.
A'n election campaign
days was not altogether
of dainty sipeech-making,
composed principally of
tions, and political beliefs were in
some cases stronger than religion.
Whisky was cheap and in many in
stances there were battles causing
blood to flow.
Jerry Donovan was a staunch “Re
former” living in the portion which
is now known as East Wawanosh
Township. He was among .the first
settlers, and being quite prosperous
was looked upon as a leader of the
Irish community which occupied the
portion southi of the present village

Re
of Belgrave and close to Douuybrook
scene of the famous Donnybrook
Fair. In anticipation of the elec
tion, Donovan called together , gome
of the leading citizens of the com
munity to plan out a course of
tion. The main objective was,
doubt, to list those who could
counted upon to vote for the
form candidate, John (Longworth,
and bring together those who might
be influenced to their cause,
Many were ignorant of the ways
of an election and a traveler who
had been passing through on his wav
to Corrie, suggested that the pro
posed Reform meeting might have
more meaning than just to muster
together good Liberals. He made the
suggestion that perhaps they were
holding an election all by them
selves. The person to whom the sug
gestion was made, a reputed ‘Tory’,
spread the word along of an oppos
ition meeting at, his home. From
there, they would descend on the
Donovan home and stop the ‘"dirty
workings.”
Some Bruised Heads
"When night came the irate group
descended on the house of Donovan
That started 'by" taunting tlibse with-
in the house to come out and allow
a fair election to be held, something
those inside could not quite under
stand, but the prospect of a fight
was pot altogether upleasing. So,
arming themselve^ with whatever
weapons were handy, they went out
to meet the visitors, and thie result
was bruised heads and broken noses.
“J crouched under the bed, and
•the sound of it was teiryible,” wrote
a daughter of Donovan. ‘‘By peek
ing out I could see them fighting,
and some were carrying pine knots
alighted, and the result was that
they seemed to be a party of savages
Mother grabbed a pail of water and
was trying frantically to put out the
fire that was creeping up along the
rail fence towards the house, Then
someone yelled ‘fire’ and the bonds
of neighborship were,, stronger thian
politics, so they they all turned in
and helped to put the fire out. It
must have been over three, hours be
fore it was checked. By that time
they were all worn out iby the ordeal
of fighting the fire, and they made
known to each other the reasons'for
the surprise on our home.”• /
There were apologies but..Donovan
while to some extent appeased, was
deeply anpoyed and declared he
wpuld have sort of compensation
through the the law. After a renew
ed show of contrition upon the ipart
of the attacking party he comprom
ised. by saying;
“There is only one consideration
under which I will allow you to go
‘Scot-free for this night’s deviltry.
If you promise me that you will vote
for Longworth at the election then 1
will not say a word about all this.
If you don’t, then I shall have to
notify the authorities in Goderich
about the whole sorry afifair."
The offending group got together
threshed the whole affair out, and
after several hours of deliberation
and arguing, finally agreed. That
was 11 votes for Longworth but won
at the expense of a portion of a
roof and part of a rail fence.
