As a result of the p'Itu19 'Tuesday last
J. T. l.arrow, the former 'bomber, war
again elected to represent West Huron.
The tight had been very quietly fought,
and to judge from surface appearaoce at
Mr. s:arrow's meetings tt was difficult to
'indented that a stubborn fight with new
ideas and populutic theories was on. A1 -
though on every Liberal platform invitation
hall and treu was extended to Sir. Connolly
and hie friends to discuss the political situ& -
tem with the aid member no advantage of
the invitation was taken, the pectin c&ndi
date preferring to keep to his own meetings
and do his work by still hunt and the as-
sistance of the patron orgenvatioos and
P.P.A. lodges. rather than to challenge
open discussion under reeow:te ed meth° Ls
with his opponent.
(lily ono' during the contest did Mr.
Coosolly h.ve the overage to face Mr. Isar•
row, and on that eccasIon nomination day
--although Mr. ,arrow refused to &viol
himself of the reoxo(o*zed rules of debate
and 000csled special advantage to his op-
ponent, the result proved so disastrous that
the boasted mainrlty previously claimed by
the friends of the patron candidate, was
wiped off the date and • majority raised on
the other aide of the ledger.
As the time for election drew near, the
chances of the patron candidata Logan to
vanish- and by the sealing of election' it
was shown that J. T. Darrow eau ones
mon the choice sit the people 6f West
Huron by practically the came majority
which they extended to him four years ago.
Theo he recened • majority of 112, and on
Tuesday he figure was 107.

althoerh a could be easily mesa that • de-
termined fight was on between the old poli-
tical partes, as of yon. Every polling sub-

local Conservative sesocation hal met in
Victoria hell on Lbe previous taturday eve-
ning, and on the advice of 1)r. Holmes end
others had decided to fight the fight for the
pstren candidate. Another meeting for or-
ganisation and equipping the polling •ub-
diviaion' ;with full force awl power had
bees held Monday evening, the result being
•'.1(010°• Conservative oppesitioe on Toes•
day. Up to that time the local Conserva-
tives bad been apparently dormant, the be
Motion being 'to create anion/et Liberal
