ceitful politician made a clean breast of

other interesting facts, came out at the

'MR ARCHIBALD BISHOP
A LATBR "" BOB ACRES.
The Conservative candidate for
West Huron has instituted a new
method of conducting a political
campaign. He won't attend a
a public meeting face to face with
his political opponent, in any lo-
cality where he is not confidently
assured his friends are in the ma-
jority. Public meetings have been
called by Col. Ross, M.P.P., the
Reform nominee, and the Conser-
vative candidate has been invited
to attend, so that the electors
would be enabled to hear both
sides of the questions of the day
discussed, but at the initiatory
meeting of the campaign, held at
Benmiller on Tuesday evening„
the latter failed to " toe the
mark."
What a fallwat there, my c',untrymen
from • the time of the contest in
June last, when Mr. Robert Porter
courageously attended every meet-
ing held by his opponent in West
Huron ? We fought Mr. Porter
with voice, vote and pen during
the contest, but we never ceased
to admire his pluck—for In not
one single instance did he show
the white feather, or " fail to con-
nect" with a meeting. But
Old times are changed—old manners
gone.
A new man is attempting to lead
the Opposition forlorn hope in
West Huron. The open warfare
has been abandoned, and no lon-
ger do the contestants meet "man
to man, and steel to steel." A
guerilla system has been introduc-
ed by the Opposition candidate,
and instead of endeavoring to
uphold boldly on the public plat-
form the principles of the party
of which he claims to be the stan-
dard-bearer, he contents himself
with skulking through the con-
stituency, holding " hole-and-cor-
ner" meetings, and telling those
who meet him on these occasions
of the conipleto annihilation in
store for Col. Roes when they
meet face to face on the platform,
Ghost of Captain Bobadil ± didst
ever hear such an unmitigated
braggart ? It is stated by some
of the Aspirant's friends that Mr.
Ross's public meetings were not
announced until after those of his
opponent had been published. On
this point we are in a position to
state that Col. Ross has thus far
advertised the holding of some
dozen public meetings, and his op-
ponent has not made public an-
nouncement of ONE We unhesi-
tatingly state that the Lib. -Con.
candidate owf% it to the electors of
West Huron to appear before
them publicly, and fate to face stay be a nbok• w thus who. in A..poil an article than tors the oppo!ttagR

Victory for Ross and Pro-
vincial Rights.
Notwithstanding the cold weather wi
Tuesday evening, and a special meeting
being held n a neighboring church,
there was a good gathering of the elec
tors of the Benu,ilter district at the first
public meeting held during the campaign.
The meeting was strongly in favor et
Col. Rosa, and the nun -appearance of
the Conservative candidate or his repre-
sentative, was looked upon as a sign that
the' Rightabout cause was hopeless with-
in the precincts of the Benmillerosub-di-
vision. The Colonel was warmly greet-
ed, and even before the speaking he re-
ceived the most gratifying assurances of
a largely increased majority on polling
day. He appears to be exceedingly pop-
ular at the point. The meeting was
one of the most respectable and orderly
we have ever attended. Nut s single
figure or statement made by CoL Ross
was disputed, and the addresses were very
well received.
M:. Thos. Gledhill was appointed
chairman and introduced the Liberal
Ma. Thorns Hays, the Tory candi-
date for East Hu•on, visited the Blyth
Review on Wednesday of last week.
The editor of the Review was so tlostered
by the arrival of the distinguished visi-
.or that he immediately penned an
item that, "Mr. Hays was a very
popular man, and will no doubt be the
choice of the people of South 11 urea."
The editor of the Blyth Review bas his
"publishing house" — at least, art's
what be calls it—in East Huron, and it
is panning strange that he doesn't know
who the Tory candidate in his own rid-
ing is.
-
A1rD now the Tories complain that
the election hes been sprung upon them
—that an " early spring .' has appeared,
as it were. It is exoeedi'.igly difficult to
please smile people. If Mowat had post-
poned the elections tho Tory press
would have stated that he was afraid to
face the music, and now when he hur-
ries the conflict onward, they complain
that he wants tA, " steal • march on
them." It u really too bad that Mr.
Mowat doesn't consult the hireling of
the Moil when matters of oon.equesee
to the Province of Ontario are on the
carpet.
THE " PROMISING " TOUNO
MAN.
Although the Conservative candidate
showed the white feather, and did not
put in appearance, even by proxy, at the
opening meeting d the campaign, held
at Benmiller on Ttloeday evening, be has
not been idle so far as the electors of
Benmiller are concerned. He seems to
be determined on a " still hunt " can-
vass, and will endeavor to be &bnet
from any meeting not held in a section
favorable to his party. But be is • man
of expedients ; he is full of premises,
and thinks he carries a thread for every
needle he Domes across. The electors of
Benmiller who were present at Benmil-
ler on Tuesday were convt_Ised with
laughter at • good story told by a speak-
er at the expense of the " promising "
candidate. It appears Chet three differ-
ent schemes for a new bndre in the
neighborhood of Benmiller have been
proposed, and only one bridge is to be
baitt. One day lately the " promising"
young man met enelactorfrom Benmiller
in town. and laying his hand familiarly
on his shoulder, asked for his vota
" I am going to vote for your bridge,
and will build it." '
"What bridge u that t" asked the

firmed, any speculator could buy 1 ru-
perty at tho mouth of these streams, put
up some improvements at a nominal
c et, and force rival lumbermen up the
stream to pay exhorbitaut tolls,or ell out

had nut been honest or truthfu'natter. He, l out is i

Meredith's speeches ohs etthe facts had

SEEDS! RELIABLE SEEDS
In the county of Bruce, during the b)e-
elections, the member for London had
declared that it wan wrong to take wt.
man's property "withoutcompenastien.
No such attempt had ever been made.
The owner of the slide was to to paid a
feu compensation, to to fixed by the
Lieuteneut-Goveruor in council, and he
was given • hen on ever log powwow
through his slide, whish he could attach
if the toll was not promptly and fully
paid Wasn't that ample compensa-
tion t The boundary question was hand-
led in a masterly manner. He reviewed
the question from its inception . to the
hour when the Ontario Conservatives
turned their backs upon their province
and deserted their record of 1880 and
1881. He described the shifting posi-
tion of Sir John A. Masdoeeld on the
question, the influence which forced him
to obey s. majority from • rival province,
and in scathing yet dignified tangus(e
ex the "Rightabont of Mr. ete-
dith��and his desertion of bis pruvince in
its hour of trial He pointed out the
importance of the boundary award, and
said that any injustice done Ontario in
this mutter would be irrevocable. He
showed the damson between the policy
of the Dominion Government and the
Ontario O••vernment on the policy
of
selling timber limits, and claimed that
while the Ottawa Government sold the
limits at $5 per square mile. Mr.
Muwat's Government got from $600 to
$700 a square mile, Mr. Miller, the
member for Algoma in the Local House,
the value of the timber lim-
i� the disputed territory at $126,000,-
000. This was worth keeping for the
province. A portion of the territory
since given to Manitoba by Sit John A.
Maodonali was for many years represent-
ed in the Ontario Legislature, and in the
Duminion Parliament also by an ()u-
tas° member. The Ontario Govern-
ment had f -r years administered justice
in that region, and put up public build-
ings, yet now it was taken away from us
and oven away to • third party in )Ilan•
itube.. He wound up an able address of
nearly two hours' length by a stirring
and patriotic &ppeal to the electors pres-
ent to sustain the Mowat administration

Cel. Roes expressed regret that his
opponent was not preseut. He desired
this contest to be carried on with good
feeling. In the two former eleetone in
which he had tale a part, not one word
had been said which had left a sting be-
hind it. lir. Johnston had been twit"!
to mined, and he did not know that
gentleman had any ether meeting. He
(Cola Ras) would like the electors to
hear both sides. He came before them
as a supporter of Hon. Oliver Mowat.
In the ton years el his adminratration
there bad not been $ single charge of
corruption against his Government. The
Opposition had left fie atone unturned to
foals • charas against the Government,
bet net a single resolution had been
moved charging them with wilful cor-
ruption or wrongdoing. (Applause. )
The feeling existed among both Re-
im:oers and Conservatives that Hon.
Mr. Mowat was a square, honest,
straightforward man. Indeed, he had
been sneeringly termed " The Christian
statesman, and the speaker said that f rom
intimate knowledge of the Ontario Pre-
mier's character, he was worthy of the
name in its noblest sense. He btf sved
that when plainly stated and honesty
put before the country, his policy would
commend itself to all. After an allu-
sion to the ballot, he proceeded to enu-
merate some of the wise, progressive
and economic legialstion introduced by
the Reform Government of the Pro-
vince. He explained the settlement of
the Munioippal Loan Fund, and showed
bow the Government had asisted multi -
polities to meet their indebtedness.
Mr. Mowat had met this difficulty in so
able and satsfictory k manner, that not •
word of complaint had been heard froui
any quarter. The settlement of the
municipal loan fund had wiped off •
debt of $75,000 in the eounly of Heron
alone, besides other help. He showed
how he had been mainly instrumental
in gaining $84,000 extra to this county
on account of the Buffalo and L•k° He-
ron railway, by going to Toronto per-
sonally and putting the claims of the
county d Huron before the Government.
He also showed that the amendment to
the jury law, introduced by himself, had
saved some $1,200 to this county alone
annually. This amount was a direct
saving to the people of Huron, who were
tuned directly to y the Dods of juries
in the county. He cited Mr. Meredith
as approving of his (Col. Ross's) action
in this matter. He mentioned the win
fevers act, introduced by himself, as •
benefit to the farmers in encouraging
better mads in winter, end pointed out
the benefits of • little legialstion on the
matter. H. had also introduced the
bill to enable municipalities to invest
their sinking fund in first mortgages.
The result was that in Huron we are
now getting 6 or 7 per osnt for our
sinking fund investments when formerly
we reosived from 3 to 6 cent. The
financial peition of the Province is one
which cannot be attacked. The Oppo-
sition have not moved for a reduction of

AT the last meeting of the Board of
High &hool Trustees, the salaries of the
teaching staff were advanced so that they
would bear fair comparison with those of
other high schools of equal standing.
This u a step in the right direction. The
teachers of our High School are excep-
tionally good, and deserve to be placed
on an equal footing, so far as salary u
concerned. with other high school teach
ere. Should the amended regulations,
approved by Order in Council the 31st of
July, 1882, date as in fors from the .1st

" Why. that's the bridge I'm opposed
to," said the Bensiller elector.
" Oh, you're for H.rnighan's bridge—

the ether.
"Yes, sir, that's the badge for me,"
said the fanner.
"Then tau vote for me and I'll vete

But it was too transparent.
The " promising " young titan will not
get many votes on the bridge question at
Benmiller. He is toxo anxious to build
them.
A rt.s&utlro and encouraging feature
of the campaign in West Heron is the
fact that many who have heretofore
voted with the Conservative party have
pledged themselves to vote fur Cul.
Ross, and use every endeavor to .well
his majority. Many of these changes
have been induced by the strong posi-
tion taken by the Liberal party on the
