TIIE if'ARIIE\SHIP.
Before the nett issue of Tat SIGNAL
the election of the Warden for the year
ISM will be en ancompliahed fact. Un-
der the clrclimstances it would not be
out of place to make a few observations
on the subject,• en that the Reeves of the
Comity, wisp hold the balseoe in their
hand% Indy give the matter that reflec-
tion which k is deserving of. •
There are, we understand, three or
four names before the public now in con-
nection with the position, ► iz: Messrs.
Gibson, Hardy, Kelly and Johnston.
Mir• Gibson is well-known as the . able
Reeve of Wroxeter, and is an old and
tried member of the County Council.
His name Inas been mentioned in con-
rtftp hath jba 'Whrdenahip on more
W. ewe oe$aelun: In. 11480 be teas
broe ht before the County Council as a
candidate, at the time when Mr. Garrow
was a.aotuinee for the Wardseship. A
aetue st le was•imtntlsent, with, as
some say, the chance& of success in favor
of Mr. Gibson, when that gentleman
arose, and, with the consent of hismover
and seconder, withdrew from the c rntest.
Mr. Johnston informed us some time
since that these facts were not correct,
but other members of the then County
Council vouch for the tryth, as above
given, and our own belief is that Mr. F.
W. J. was not imitating the late George
Washington when he expressed his opin-
ion on the question.
But, to return to our subject. 'The
Wardenship is a position which hashere-
tofore been accorded to a tried and. ex-
perienced member of the County Coun-
cil In the past, intelligence, common
sense and experience have been the ne-
cessary requisites for the holder of the
position. Flowery rhetoric, shallowness
or cheek wereeiot looked upon as being
the component parts for a Warden; and
we hope that the old rule will be ad-
hered to in 1882.
The friends i,f^Dlesers Gibson, Hardy
and Kelly have mentioned their notes
as fit and proper persona to occupy the
Warden's chair- and so any one of the
the three is. Mr. Fred. W. Johnston has
advocated Mr. Fred. W. Johnston for
the position, and we are of opinion the
proposer has made emir choice in the
nomiuee.• By telegraph we learn that. M

laking down "f the wooden bridge when ''r"'•
the iron structure was not ready to re-
place It, can be summed up in one word
-Nuthing We regret to have to wake
thew statements, but we are determined
to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, s„ far as we
know, as to the merits and demerits of
our representatives at the County Coun-
ciL As we hive said, Mr. Hardy has
been a reliable and trustworthy Council-
lor, and would not hill to do credit to
the position of Warden.
Mr. Kelly's claim to the Warleusnip
of Huron consists in the fact that he is
an old County Councillor, who has al-
ways been 1e eked upon as an efficient re-
presentative. When a member of the
County Council in bygone years, hisuame
was frequenty mentioned by his friends
in connection with the poeitiou. It)
conversation with w seine time since,
Mr. Johnston observed, "We have a
majority, and none ,f your fellows can
get the position" -meaning that the
Conservative majority in the Council
would vote for one of their own party in
preference t' a Reformer. Well,
se be it, for Mr. Johnston has said it.
And if Conservatisin is to be the test
for the position, who in all the party is
more deserving of the Wardenship than
the Reeve of Blyth. Mr. Kelly has
fought and bled in the Conservative in-
terest. He has suffered defeat and
pecuniary lou fur his party. In 1879
Mr. Johnston loyally took second place
to Mr. Kelly, end it is to be hopq'Net
in 1882, when 'he has desires(' that tote
party vote shall elect the Warden, he
will not play cut-throat this old-
time chief, or attempt to snatch the
laurel from his erstwhile !rides's brow.
In conclusion, we fail to pee wherein
lies Mr. Jghnston's claim to the Ward-
.enship. Despite his comparatively vain
attempt at a pre-Raphaelite beard, he is
a mere .youth -and although youth is
not in itself a barrier to preferment,. when
backed by ability, experience and` sound
common sense, yet it should be looked
upon as a drawback, when these qualities
are known to be lacking in the aspirant.
Mr. Johnston is a young plan of., very
moderate ability and big conceit -the
place which he maintains in his chosen
profession testities to the first fact
and his working for the Wardenship
against men so much his superior in' in-
tellect and ability, aptly illustrates the
other peculiarity, For these reasons -we
have objected to Mr. Johnston's un-
blushing attempt to foist himself into the
Wardeu'a chair, and until he gives evi-
dence of ti maturity of judgment which
he.does not at present possess, we will -
ever maintain our opposition. to 'him

DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS.
The Mesmer far East Nara Mattes Some
ataslblo Remarks.
Mr. Gibson (Huron), thought that
uotwithstanding the position assumed by
the Opposition they had reached a grave
cututitytional crisis in their history
(hear, hear). He did not think it right
to discuss the National Policy in that
.House but nevertheless he thought that
the first • paragraph in the speech was
quite true. (Applause and. laughter.)
Adverting to the second paragraph re-
specting the Boundary Award, he stated
the position taken by a member _ of the
Opposition to amount to this, that the
Mackenzie -Ouvernment was in fault for
not hedging around the succeeding Tory
tiovernment so that they would needu
wrong, (Hear, . hear.) He referred
them to the ,Bgriin Treaty, the Alabama
Award, thu Halifax Award, acid the
Quebe.: Award as cases where, notwith-
standiu tremendous opposition, the re-
spective Goveinnteuts felt themselves
bound by the decision of the. arbitrators,
and they hell the awards sesr:d. (Ap-
pleuse.) Why, be asked, did not the re-
presentatives in the House of Commons
from Ontario stand up for Ontario's
rights? If they had taken a leaf from
the book of the Quebec Conservatives in
the matter of the Letellier dismissal,
and presented an ultimatum to the lead-
er of the House the boundary difficulty
would have been speedily solved to the
satisfaction of Ontario. The matter was
becoming a serous oue, and had to be
met. They read, thete.fore, of a repre-
sentative of an Vutano constituency
(Mr. Dalton ItteCmrthy) who felt com-
pelled to refer to it, and he toki his
hearers that the Dugniuion Government
had crept. mall of it very nicely. (Hear,
hear.) Reading between the lines he
led them to'bulieve that Lower Canada
objected to the acquisition of territory
by Ontario, and so they gave a portion
of'it to Manitoba, thus dragging' m a
third party,•. anti waking the complica-
tion worse. Hear, hear.) That gentle-
man, however, had omitted to state the
important fact that the Dominion Gov-
ernment
ov
ernment still retained the Crown Lands
and the timber of immense value. Of
all this the. Dominion Government was
deseelling this Prueince. He did' not
glee hoer the ine.nbers of the Opposition
would get over that. If the leader of
the Opposition when "speaking out in
meeting" at the recent Tory convention
had told his co -delegates that they must
unite with hint in enforcing Ontario's
just clew, he would have risen in the
estimation of his fellow electors. (Ap-
plause.e Bathe did not embrace the
opportunity. As too the ihrallowaoc: of
the Streams Act, he took his stand upon
the grand old principle .d Responsible
Government, and he maintained that
when they entered Confederation they
reliutluished mine of their rights. ; Hear,
hear.) He read from the report "f the
Cumuuioaion appoir.ted to revise and con•
eiltdate the statute* of Quebec Province,
ltd he trusted that his friend from
Glengarry would subscribe to the steind
d.+ctnne therein enueciateil. The ex-
tract first set out that the Confederatte ii

man could nut do that, and although the
relief in a particular case was no longer
necessary, still it was required in the
public interest and ea a measure of jus-
tice. (Hear, hear.) He did not want
to infringe un tho 1)uuuuion prerogative,
but he was determined to take as ltrtu a
stand upon the question of Provinciai

ed to refer to the want of a forest law.
In souse European countries for every
tree cut down another must be planted,
and some measure in this direction
would, he thought, be of great benefit to
t)ntario. Regarding the refetence to
the Agriculture and Arts Association, he
remarked that Toronto, in his opinion,
made a mistake in refusing the offer of
the Provincial Association, and the
farmers would rent it. After advert-
ing to the land Improvement Fund,
which, he said, should be paid over to
the settlers in like manner to the Cont -
won School Fund. He concluded by
regretting that the members of the Op-
position could not threw aside their
party predilections and unite with the
Vovernment in endeavouring to secure
justice for the Province, but they had
taken another view and must abide the
consequences. (Loud applause.) "

$40.16, was $1,980.91. The sum of
$1,041.50 had been paid in prizes, and
the total expenses for the year footed
up $1,906.04, leaving a balance,in the

Before proceeding to the election of
officers it waa decided that the$ecretary
and Treasurer of the Riding Society
should not by mere virtue of their office
have s vote on the Board, but that if
elected directors of a Branch Society
they could then vote.
Then cane a war of words as to what
constituted membership of the Riding
Society, some claiming that an addition-
,/ dollar above the Branchsociety eclat or
Horticultural society fee should be 1 aid,
and somecontending otherwise. The
genial chairman, after allowing the dis-
putants togive their arguments pro and
con, called the meeting to order, and the
election of officers was proceeded with
in a most satisfactory manner. The
following is the Board fur the ensuing
year: -President, W. Young; lst Vice -
President, H. Snell; 2nd Vice -Freed.
