Teta: South Huron Reform Conven-
tion to nominate a candidate to contest
that riding at the coining local election,
has been called to meet at Hensall en
the 21111h inst. It would be useless to
speculate on the probable nominee at
present, fur there is no knowing where
Iuck,"a stray steer or a political cunven-
tion will run te.. t one thing ,it certain,
however, end that is that South Huron
has a full ahem of good material for par-
- liamentary members.
1r by any possibis happening Hon.
Mr. Mowat and his colleagues were de-
feated at the next election, who on the
Conservative side of the house would be
able to take thejr'eplacea in the Cabinet i
Beside Mr. Meredith, who is a second,rate
man, and Mr. Morrie, who is even weak-
er, the Conservative party in the Legis-
lature haven't a man the mention of
whose name in connection with a port-
folio'would not raise a smile. On the
other hand, there are behind the treas-
ury benches of the Legislature euough
first-class Liberals to form a new govern -
meet if the call were made to -morrow.
Ir was rumored in Toronto on the se-
cond day of the Reform Convention that
Sir John Macdonald was in the city to
see the material ,ef which the gathering
was composed. We de hot know what
ground there was for the rumor, bat, if
the Chieftain waa there be roust have
been extremely sorry that his swash-
buckler of the Mai/ so grossly and with-
out provocation insulted -the sturdy yeo-
menry who larger composed the delega-
tion. Sir.John is too shrewd s politi-
cian to offend the farming community by
criticizing their homespun germ enta,their
frugality etc., and it would not surprise
us to learn that the Blue -nose snob who
cast smut at the farmers through the
columns of the Mfail will shortly get his
conge. If the Mad is t.. become a re-
spectable organ, "Oran must go.'
Mtt MgaaagTI, who essays to lead
the Oppositions in the Ontario Legisla-
ture, is continually getting his foot into
it. Or. Monday he spoke in the House
urging the raising of the dues on pine
and other t'.mber in the Parry Sound
and Muskoka district, and accused the
Government of trying to purchase the
lumbermen by giving them cheap tim-
ber. Hon. Mr. Pardue shnwed ceuclua-
trefy that there had been strong reasons
for reducing the dues in 1876, and
told the Melee plainly that Mr.
Meredith when its Mtaknka had been in
favor of cheap dues. Upon a denial
from the leader of the Opposition, Mr.
Bettes, just elected from Muskoka, rose
and cltargad him with having been in
favor of free pine ter the settler when he
spoke in lllnakoka,and nowhewaaasking
for double dues. Mr. Meredith dropped
the subject like a hot potato.

WHEN the Tories, quoting from the

impeach the reepectability of the compo-
sition of the great Liberal Convention,
our friends can quietly refer t:aetn to the
Mail, and ask thorn to inspect to the
polio* court reports of that journal :tt the
respective periods of the Tory and Re-
form conventions. In the first instance,
although , ttly about 2,000 delegates were
present, a numb.r of them faced the
police magistrate the meriting after the
convention, charged with beim.' drunk
and diserd.rly ; at the eform cunvrn-

was led to'belie:e he would be the next
Warden of Huron were he elected Reeve
of Brussels this year, and naturally felt
taken aback by the defeat at the poll on
e'ection day. Last week he'was in town
to make arrangements for a recount, and
bad an cider served upon Mr. hIcCiac-
ken to that effect. The matter came oe-
fore his Honor Judge Toms, on Tuesday

who appeared for the Reeve elect, the
order for inspection was declared ultra

the above, that even if he had been elect-
ed, Mr. Rogers would have 4; men
ahead of hint fur the Wardership.

We Hold the Recreant Oppoei-
tion'to their Record.
Farts for Menest E i etore that (Anatol be
Denied.
Up to the last meeting of the Domin-
ion Parliament, wbep Sir John A. Mac-
donald, at the bidding of his Quebec
supporters, refused to ratify the Boundary
Award, the Conservatives :u Ontario
were just as strong for the interests of
the Province in the matter of the
award as were the Reformers. Only
a few months previously, on the 3rd of
March, 1881, the entire Local Legisla-
ture with one dissentient voice, applaud-
ed the ground then (and now) taken by
Mr. Mowat. The v• te was the hottest
expression of the members, uninfluenced
by instruotions from Ottawa. Froth the
high gr and then taken the Conserva-
tives or" this province have receded.
They have forsaken their principle,
they have betrayed their province, but
their record is there. They cannot
deny it. They do not attempt to do so.
This is what Mr. Meredith and his fol-
lowers voted for m March, 1881
"1. That the' House deevly regrets
that notwithstanding the unanimous
award made on the 3rd of August, 1878,
by the arbitrators appointed by the joint
and concurrent action of the Govern
ment of Canada and the Ouvernment of
Ontario, to determine the northerly and
westerly boundaries of this Prorinee, no
legislate m has been submitted by the
government of Canada to the Dominion
Parliament for the purpose of oonfirm-
ng that award, nor has the validity of
he ewer! yet been recognised by the
Government of Canada.
"2. That the omission of the Govern-
ment and Parliament of Canada to eon
rm the award is attended with great
inconvenience, has the effect of retarding
settlement and municipal organization,
enthanasses the edm,ni.tr'tiun of the
laws, and isterfeire with the preserva-
tion of the peaces, the msiotensace of
order, and the establishment of good
Government in the northerly and north
esterly parts of the Ptuviace of (Into -
Ties oouduet of the Opposition "lead- le
grit' at Toronto would be amusing if it
were not contemptible. Mr. Meredith,
of London, is trying to make caps.

in new parliament buildings Mr. Mor-
ris and Mr. Bell, his (t) rusty lieutenants,
of Toronto, on the other hand, are assail-
ing tie Guvernment for not linin* on

showed that the natter was in an unset -

the Liberals all along the line had
cei,ted the challenge, and poured
thousands into Toronto to protest steal
the Keurneyite yell from the Tory
machine. The bone and sinew, brawn
and brain, of the Pr.vimie were well re-
presented, and some idea of the interest
taeen in the welfare .,f the Mowat .Ad-
tninistration may be lead from the fact
that of the 121,000 voting, power of the
Liberal party of Ontario fully 7,000 were
present at the convention to represent
their localities, and by voice and vote to
state plainly that " Mowat must not

from the agricultural community.— the

the pickpocket, the dogfigtste,t and
the ,cockfighter, who formed so notion,
able an element at elate political convefi-
tion at Toronto, were nowhere. t6 be
found. The delegates to the- Reform
convention were a?rneet teen, down at
the call of their Provincial leader, to
give him hearty 'encouragement, and
right nobly did they respond. Men
from Halton and York stood side by
wi le a::',: .1 ferrates from Algoma and
Muskoka, while representatives from
Lanark, Renfrew, Prescott, Ottawa and
Russell were shoulder to shoulder with
those from Essex, Kent, Lambteni, , Hu-
ron and Bence. All ereeda,.all cnm-
plexions, all nationalities were repro
nonrated, sad a common bund—a broad
spirited Liberalists - --trade the members
of the grandgathering brethren indeed.
The magnificent proportions of the
convention were natter of surprise to all,
and to nano more than the people of
Toronto. That a large number s.f
Liberals would attend the meeting was
a foregone conclusion, het that more
than 2,000 would Le in attendance had
not been surmised even by •the meet
sanguine ; but when, anterior to the
Wednesday evening meeting, 6,200 Libe-
rals had presented their credentials to
the secretary, and with the late trains
yet coming in heavily laden with dele-
getes, it was small wonder that enthusi-
astic congratulations passed from one to
another, and that the hearts of the lead-
en felt glad, while the enthusiasm of
the rank and file raised high.
At the hotels there was a heavy scram-
ble. Preperetiuns had been made for
an iutiux of Liberal delegates, but not
for an invasion. The consequence was
that on Wednesday night many found
anything but a comfortable bed, and
some found no bed at all. But all felt
satiafied to undergo privation, and pay
for the privilege, rather than not take
part in what would be known in the
time to come as the great Liberal con-
tention ot 1883.
It had been arranged that the Wed-
nesday afternoon meeting would Le hell
in Shaftesbury Hall ; but at 2 o'clock,
when the hall was packed to the doors it
was found that Queen street, almost
Iron Young to .Kay. was blocked with
delegates, and a motion) to adjourn to
the Horticultural Pavilion was conse-
quently made. At the pavilion, which
is capable of accommodating over 6,000
persons, the crush was something terri-
ble, and many were unable to secure
satisfactory position,, Of the speaking

tempt to give a curter, owing to want of

policy of *the Local Adutieistratiun in
the time come e.i the Boundary Award
and the Streams Bill. Much of the
matter given was not new to many of
those preseutt, but the sincere utterance
on the part of the speaker and the curli-
est
arrest advocacy of Provincial rights by the
Premier did much to stir up the heti t
of the audience, and to make them de
termined more than ever before that
" Mowat must not go."
When Hou. Edward Blake was called
upon to address the gathering, cheer af-
ter cheer was given, ands.' the tall tiguro
of the leader of Her Majesty's loyal
Opposition at .Ottawa atraie forward io

*ben Blake tame on the platform. For
an hour end three -quartos the great
Liheral orator held the audience by the
spell of his utterance. There was no
leap -trap given end no appeal to passion
m: de. But there was a comprehensive
and logical discourse upon the subjects
that most affected the Prov nee of On-
tario at the present time. When he
said the great Liberal heart of ()Mario
heat warmly for Mewed, and that when
the day of trial came the electors would
Lin! ,out..and testify that they had no
sympathy with the cry, "Mowat must
go," loud spplause was his portion ; and
when he repeated the refrain of the
Cornish men when Trelawny was ad-
judged to die.
"Aad mutt Trelawnwnyydie? die 7
And met Thda
Then 90,000 Cornlah men

ad stated that the fidelity to Mowat on
the part of the patriotic •ons of Ontario
would, it possible, exceed that of the
Cornish men to Trelawny, the spon-
taneous outburst of deep feeling from
the audience showed that he had touch-
ed a kindred chord in the heart of every
elector within sound of his voice. Mr.
Blake completed his magnificent oration
by appealing to all present to remain
true to the interests of Ontario, to en-
deavor by voice and vote to maintain
her rights, and to use their best influence
to return supporter' who would strength-
en the hands of Mr. Mowat and his
ministers in their patriotic fight for On-
tario's cause.
And now the chairman announces
that Hon. Alexander Mackenzie will
next address the gathering, and as the
crowd of prominent men on the platferm
separate to form • lane for the ex -Pre-
mier of Canada to come before the audi-
ence, a treat ery goes up from the gath-
ered thousands. Calmly the grand old
Liberal acknowledges the joyful saluta-
tions, and essays to thank them horn a
full heart for their kind welcnme, but
his voice is drowned by the loud hums
that tell of the deep affection and rev-
erence which the men from the back
townships, as well as the city -bred Libe-
rals, have for the veteran lieutenant of
the lite George Brown. Some minutes
elapse before Mr. Mackenzie can pro-
ceed, and then he addressee the great
gathering in his old-time, solid, sensible
fashion. Old -tin., did we say 1 Well,
yes—old-time in the common-sense
views which he enunciated, but we re-
gret to state, that awing to the severe ill-
ness from which he has recovered so
recently, his voice is still weak and his
frame emaciated. Rut the fire of yore is
ere: and anon visible in his utterance,
and though his voice has not full

A BRUTAL INSULT.

The Toronto Il",.ri.l is an independent
paper, with a strong feeling in favor of
the commercial policy of the Dominion
Government. The Toronto Telegram is
also independent, and has no party re
cord. The Gtresdiau is the daily edition
of Mr. Boyle's Irish (asahioe, and is
opposed to the Ontario Government at
present. The opinions of these papers
regarding the vulgar abuse of the Re
form dela gates by the Toronto Mail, willk
give some indication of how the uncalled

There is no excuse for the sneers at

indulged in by the Conservative press.
I The delegates may fairly claim to be
representative men in theirown lotaalities,
chosen for the purpose of representing
their fellow -Liberals. Nothing is to be
gained, even from a party point of view,
by ridiculing them, while it is very in.

There was a time when the Mail pro-
fe e.d to be agentleman's paper, "written
by gentlemen for gentlemen," but all
pretence to decency has apparently been
abandoned, as an extract or two from;
editorial in yesterday's issue respecti
the liberal conventi,m will show- Itsays
the delegates have been tempted to To-
ronto by "cheap railway fares, board et
half price► whisky and cigar' at the ex-
pense of the cumbinod Iiceuse commis-
sioner.,'' and "such a combination of fres
lecture and free lunch" as "never yet
tempted the imagination of a somewhat
dull-witted mob of semi -civilised perti•
sane." It is further ef opinion that "all
was nod was a promise to throw in
some old clothes and a few spelling -hooka,

bath, and a copy of the Globe's Christmas
illustrated paper, and the rush would
