cause our candidate had made himself
so obnoxious to the corrupt Gov-
ernment at Ottawa, who could not
stand his criticisms of their corrupt sod
injurious policy. (Cheer..) Bet although
Mr Cameron had been defeated, he had
not lest prestige in his party or the coun-
try. He was desirous that every Re-
form memt.er should sit in the Howse by
• o unporchased vote. No money had
beew improperly .pout in Ooderich or
any other part .4 the ndinr in the inter-
est of Mr Cameron. •Cheera.1 But
during the election certain men were
found on the other side who were travel-
ling through the townships and along
the bock streets of the towns
with plenty of money, who have
been ordinarily in the habit of dodging
the payment of their debts on judgment
. ummonres. The speaker deed by
quoting the words a the wounded bor-
der chief as applicable to the state of at -
faits in W est Huron :—
•Tight on. light on, sty merry men all,
Fight on ri ht bravely :

Joseph liriffn, reeve of Ashtieid, se-
conded the resolution in a fittioy man-
ner.
Mr Farren, of Clinton, also thoegbt
it was the duty of the Liberal party to
contest the election in the *aorta Mr
Cameron should be returned to Parlia-
ment as goon as possible ; but the bur-
den of protesting West Hens should be
borne by the entire party in the riding,
end with that view they should look to
the ways and meats. (Applause.) It
was proper that they should spend their
money in this !natter ; it was in the
cause of right, and was quite legitimate
There has already been a lot of expense
in this election, and Mr Cameron should

Joeeph McClusky said that the ma-

"oil" to rake ,: run smoothly. (Laugh-
