FRIDAY, JAN. Hine. 1884.
found the mammary gsalifie•tion f..r a
good county Treasurer for the c•wuty of
Huron, and now that his name is before
the people's reps..eatative• in awned ion
with the Ge•+me,we bops to ere him eelect-
ed to fill the position.
In the election of Mr. Horaoe Horton
oto the position of county treasurer, s
faithful and efficient servant will be se
mored to the county in the ro ani .d Hon.
A. M. Rose; a treasurer will be secured,
wbu has not rendered himself ub•wxiuus
in the eyes of all honest -winded persons
by stooping to wire -pulling and caucus-
ing to attain personal ends at the ex-
pense of principle ; and last, but by no
means leant, a nun whose superior in
qualification fur the position cannot be
found in Huron will beoxome custodian
of the finances of the county. Under
the circumstances we call upon the 28
county 'councillors elected to vindicate
Hon. A. M. Russ not to rest in the good
work until Mr. W. J. R. Holmes and
the plotters have been taught that hon-
esty is the best policy, by the election of
Mr. Horace Horton to the Bounty posi-
tion so greedily sought for by the Brus-
sels aspirant.
THE NEXT TREAS(-RER.
We suppose Mr. W. J. R. Holmes, of
Brussels, .ill follow his usual tactic of
endeavoring to poll wires from now until
the time of county t• emelt meeting to
sxumplish his ends. To our friends of
the council who at the December meet-
ing stood so nobly:by Hun. A. M..Ross
we would say,'rsmain firm still. Reinem-
bu that six of these who took • high
handed and wrongful course on that oc-
i.asion have been made to feel the weight
of the people's displeasure, and are now
mourniaq and will not be comforted be-
cause they are ne longer numbered with
the county council of Huron. You will
be importuned, nay, implored to act
differently treat what you did at the
December meeting, but heed not the
importuning" or imploring& The con-
spirators have been baffled yea, beaten.

by the addition of a deputy -reeve repre-

On the whole, the work done by our
friends all along the line has been quite
satisfactory, and at the January meeting
we look with confidence to the undoing

trusted public servant will be tolerated.
Remember this fact, and stand firer.
