The Reform Couventwu held at Bruce-. field on Friday last, after having heard Mr. Blake and Y. Mackenzie explain why It is so desirable in the interests of the Liberal party and of tt.e country that Sir Richard Cartwright 'should be in Parliament, resolved that the under- standing had at the time of the general elections should bo carried out ; that Mr. McMillan should be requested to resigh, and Sir Richard Cartwright should be invited to till the vacancy thus to be created, This conclusion was ar- rived at with some reluctance, because Mr. McMillan, who is so deservedly re- spected and esteemed, gave entire satis- faction to the constituency while he re- presented it. Mr. M.Miltan was ono .d those who, before the general election, moved that whoever was chosen to repre- sent epro-sent the district in which Sir John Mac- donald had "hived" so many (frits should be pledged to resign it a seat were after- wards wanted for any of the leaders of the party, and although bo has much reason to be proud of his conduct while ha was it member of Parliament he did not hesitate to carry out the pledge which he gave when he war nominated. For this honourable act of abnegation and self-sacrifice, for his manly and hon- ourable discharge of what he felt to be a duty to his patty and his country, he is entitled to all credit Many of his friends, although earnest, zealous Liber- als, were unwilling to part with him, but, when tho majority decided that the understanding to which they were pledged should bo carried out, they proved their fidelity to their party land their devotion to the count-; by loyally excepting that decision, and the resolu- tion was unanimiously adopted. Sir Richard Cartwright is unquestion- ably one of the ablest financiers in Can- ada. Objection has often been taken to his manner, especially by those pith whose views on questions of trade and finance he could not agree. But his knowledge and aability have never been seriously questioned. Even so uncom- promieiug a Tory as the Montreal Gazette is forced to admit that, iu the discussion cf ail financial matters, he will add large - 1y to the working force of the Hume of Commons. And he is as honest as he is • able. The Tory press love to abuse and vilify him, but that is because they kuow that their leader luta him, and because he so mercilessly tears to tatters tho sophistries and fallacies which ere the stock in trade of such financial quacks as Sir L Tilley. There has been no man in public life since Confederatoi whom they w much detest, or whom :'ley would do so much to exclude from P trlament. For years he gave Sir John M. .leuald manly, honorable support. Fen then he often raised his vutce in warning while the Government persisted in acting as if the enormous importations of 1871-2-3 were proof of prosperity. We know now that he often remonstrated strongly against those acts of the Government and those parts of their policy of which he disapproved. When at length he was compelled by a sense of duty to join the Liberal party he at once became thoroughly identified with it and one of its most loyal and devoted members, be- cause he found it honest and patriotic as he wished to be. As a member of the Government he ever sought to do what he believed best for the country. It has been made subject of accusation against him that in those years there were some deficits, the number and amount of which Tories always exaggerate. He 'night have had surpluses instead, but he did not believe that taxation should be increased in times of business depres- sion. In opposition he was as faithful to duty. He has been accused of be- ing too severely critical, of speaking too plainly of the crimes and follies of tbose in office, of almost taking pleasure id de- nouncing the misconduct of the Premier, of being merciless in exposing the falla- cies, contri:di lions, miscalculations, and vain vaunain is of the present Finance Minister, . f .sing knife and cautery too freely, and it might have been politic to deal more gently with his opponents sometimes. But it was hard for an honest, earnest man, pnseessed of such power's of criticism, sarcasm, and invec- tive, nut to give them loose rein when speaking of the fraudulent means by which this Government obtained power, or of the shame and delusions in which they still trade His honesty, his abili- ty, and, above all, his caustic frankness, caused Sir John and his colleagues to hate him so bitterly that, while other constituencies were but reconstructed by the Gerrymander Act, his was wiped out of existence. instead of seeking a con- stituency in which the Grits were hived, he gallantly carried the Liberal cola's ill s district where ■ncoeu was doubtfol, and he was defeated. The Liberal per ty are not unmindful of the services he has rendered, or of his unwatering fidelity to their principles, and in all Parts of the Dominions they will thank the people of South Huron, who now give him the oportunity of once noire serving his country in Parliament. As Mr. Blake stated at the c,nvention,there is too much probability that financial questiohsof importance will engage the attention of Parliament neat cesoota. It is of importance that at such • time the country should have the service at owe so competent to deal with eipeli questing. From the (Ata wa Free f'r+ww. At the Liberal convention in South Horan, yesterday, it was decided that Mr McMillan, the present member. should resign and rusks way for fair Richard Cartwright. The shove en- uouncemrnt will be received with setts faction by all members of the Liberal party. and, indeed, by all teen who de- sire the primrose of the hoot own in par- liament Mir Richard wait onl) kept net of a seat through the gerrymander No anxious and determined was Kir John Macdonald t., keep hie formidable 111)- 1.'11. 011 out of the hoose, that hr actual wiped his smiler— gjoie el • Tu do so he "hived," hs tiler Ibie n elegant 'emulsion, the "Grits" ih t b Huron. Sir Richard's eieeW>n is therefore a certainly. We will be glad t., see him in his place next session where he will be ►u a position to skip the in isk of hypocrisy from t be self sancti- fied homing who pretends to manage the fineness of the o euntry.

Time bas vindicated )tiro, and he will be able to retort spun Sir Samuel Tilley with compound interest for the sneers, falsehoods and misrepre- sentations put forth when he was not present to reply. The Liberals want a fighting wan like Sir Richard, a fearless, able, uncom- promising critic. A tan who is a terror to his adversaries, and who would lie a power in the deliberations of the best as- sembly in the world. ....."..7J11 Y ' From the berate Observer. g7.i® His presence in Parliament would be of greet benefit to the Liberal opposition, especially in deeding with the tariff and financial questions generally, The Tory press have persistently misrepresented and maligned the ex -Finance Minister, and with their leaders have pursued him with unparalleled vindictiveness. There is minters they hate worse or fear more, and there is no man in Canada better able to defend himself or show up the pretentious ignoiance of the men who are now governing the country. We have always looked upon Sir. Richard as one of the ablest politicians in the Dom- inion, and a man whose services cannot well be dispensed with.

There was s great flutter in social cir- cles here over the announcement of the marriage of Case Allen, with one of the fair daughters of Goderich. We wish them two royage. 00113011111.

HAMILTON, Nov. 27.—The mlea.uer, Eclipse, which is reported lost on Geor- gian Bay, was formerly owned here and known as the "Jolliette." She was built iu Hamilton by Mr. Cooper, of Butfalo, and ran three seasons between this city, Oakland and the Beach When first built she was so narrow and crank that Me was liable to topple over. As she lay at Simooe street wharf one holiday she careened so far that but for touching the next dock she would have turned upside down, and a terrible calamity would have been reported, for many people were on board. The steamer was given wore beam by false sides, which were attached, and was afterwards known as the "Eclipse." She was sold and went to Sarnia, where she ran as • ferry, and afterwards was bought by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The vessel was taken to Algoma Milts, and ran ou the Serpent and Spanish Ricers with supplies. - JOHN Degw's lTATEMEER. WuaTox, Ont., Nov. 27.—The state- ment of John Drew, the only known sur- vivor of the steamer Eclipse, is that the steamer left Algo.na Mills on Nov, 15 for Sarnia, with the,barge Etta in tow ; ran into attlesnake harbor, Manitoulin Island, and left there Wednesday, Nov. 21, intending to make Southampton. Capt. Bush, of the barge, left me alone on the barge and went aboard the Eclipse. About 4 a.m. I dossed and went on deck, and could see nothing of the Eclipse, and realised that I was cast adrift and alone on Lake Huron, and • fearful gale raging. After awhile I heard the steamer's whistle several times, then I saw and heard no more of then. At daylight 1 saw land about a mile distant, and about 4 p.m. tho barge went ashore on the beach at Little Pike Bay, and I jumped ashore and started for 11'iarton, sixteen milds distant. I do not know the names of the crew. There were I seven men on the Eclipse. Seine fisher- men were out in a boat el Pine Tree Harbor, and saw three bodies floating near the shore with life preservers • on, marked "The Eclipse," and what aopear- ed to be the upper works of a steamer. One of the bodies had a watch and $22, nn,d another $8.95. By papers found I identify ono es uapt. Bush, cf tit. barge Etta, and another a. J.
