"IT WAS A FAMOUS VICTORY."
WHEN, in 1882, West Huron was
gerrymandered, it was arranged so
that there would be • majority of 180
against the Grits The Liberals were
not dismayed, but put up • candidate
in the field, in the person of the late
M. C. Canino'', and the hettle was
woe by • majority of 28.
In 1887 there was another light,
and the tanekCte . w:lie heel faced
each other in 1882-0AMasop and
Pleurae -again led the fight in' that
year for their respective parties The
result was a revision of the former
verdict and Posrsa was elected by
28. -
During the parliamentary tires
which ensued Pointe, who had no
record before, got one. He supported
the Jesuit.' Estate Act in the House,
and when he came back for re-election
in 1891 his Orange supporters had no
use for hint, and would not go to the
polls. The abeteution of the Orangemen
placed Poses' 379 behind on election
clay, althoggh his opponent did not
poll as many votes as in 1887 when
Perris bad beaten him by 28.
A protest was entered against the
sncoesaful eendidsie and the seat was
voided in the fall of the year, and the
tug of war was held in February,
when Hoo. J. C. PArrassoN was
foisted upon the Conservatives as
their standard-bearer. He was aid-
ed by unlimited money influence, by
the prestige of • Cabinet position, and
' backed by an army of boodle's, rang-
ing from pre schen to poachers and
from bank managers to bank rumma-
gers.
ummygers. There was an exciting time for
a few 'reeks -it was a battle royal.
The election was held on Tueedey and
on the morning of Thursday before
voting day the Liberal candidate
was suddenly stricken down by illness,
end was unable to leave the hoose
- -during the remainder of the cam-
paign. This, however, did not daunt
the spirit of the Libor' le of
West Huron. They kept up the
fight notwithstanding the great odds
that were up seaind them, and when
the votes were oounted the Govern-
ment candidate had won by only 16 of
a majority. The Conservatives had
counted upon from 300 to 500 of a
majority. For the last week of the
campaign from standard-bearer of the
Liberals was, by illness, rendered in-
oepable of giving any 'existence,
bat the fighting blood of the Liberal' of
West Huron was up, and they fought
the biggest battle against the greatest
odds that they ever fought, and made
the stand of their lives. it was a
Cadmsao victory for Hon. J. C. PAT-
TaLnM, who had been led to believe
that he would win in a walk. In this
connection Hon. J. C. PArrURsow and
the writer had • word or two on
figures during that campaign. It was
at
Kingsbridge, where PATTMMOON and
MolrrAoes were holding a meriting.
We were like the meat in the sandwich
e• the oocanon-there to be chewed,
so to speak. After the meeting PAr-
Tsaeo, said, " This meeting seems
to favor you, bet we're going to
win by 300." We replied, " Parrett -
SOY, take of one of your cyphers, and
1f you win by 30 you will have won
the victory of your life." His major-
ity was 16.
Siam those we have had no criterion
of the strewth of the partite in the
riding until the present time. The bye
elgMliee in January, 1896, csuasd by
the dwetion of Mr. PArrsMwos to the
i4Mt.Oovernorehip of Wertheim, was
• walk -over for he Marais, and i•
• -the ipasamisidesedar. sh domere :''!a!;

interests of the Tory oandidate.

1892, where the relative strength ol
the parties rewired the best testa the
Liberals, led by • man wbo was bee
Iieved to brwossender as •erefiiic•1
leader, sucoeeded in carrying the rid-
ing once by 28, and lost it twios-by
28 and 16. Tuesday last a young
man, who • year ago had not been
heard of by the politicians, swept the
oonetttueocy as • cyclone, and, not-
withstanding the fact that the ac-
knowledged strongest man in the
Conservative ranks in West Huron
was put up against him, succeeded in
keeping the c. natituenoy safe to good
Government by nearly 150 or • ma-
jority. The Opposition put up
the fight of their lives. Sir
CMAui s nitwit personally led the
fight and he was ably assisted 8y Hon.
Dr. Morr.ova, Oso. TAYLOR, M.P.,
the Conservative whip in parliament,
WILLIAM BENNfrr, M.P., E B. °SLIR,
M.P., M. QUIN'', M.P., JAS. CLANCY,
M.P., Major Bairns, M P., Boit
BIRMINGHAM, who isn't an M.P, and
• host of other ready and willing out-
side workers The local Conservatives
never did hf)i sr Mork, but their work
was all in vain.
A new Liberal political Tight has
appeared in West Huron, and one
wbo up to the present had been looked
upon as a weak man has shown great-
er strength in the riding than was
ever 1 efore known. DAVID has over-
thrown (ioLIAre. Bos Houses is the

CONSERVATIVE AMMUNITION
SPOILED.
AT the last Provincial general elec-
tion
eation the Engledue "deal" was one of the
favorite topics of the Whitneyites,
and the Government was vigorously
denounced for The transaction and for
" giving away " the Province's miner-
al lands Some light is thrown on the
matter by a statement made in the
House last week by the Hon. J. M.
GIBeoN in reply to a question by Mr.
Tucxes. The Commissioner of Crown
Lands stated that the Engledne Com-
pany bad expended about $45,000 in
exploring and developing blocks A and
B in 1M97-98, of which $24,979.85 had
been expended on block B. He re-
gretted that the prospecting and ex-
ploration had not, so far as he had
learned, resulted in the discovery of
anything specially valuable. As to
the larger of the two locations it was
said that nothing was discovered that
would warrent any development and
as to the Shoal Lake location he wee
not •ware that, after very thorough
prospecting, development work world
be warranted by any discoveries made
The people of the Province will re-
gret that the company's enterprise has
not been more satidactory in the dis-
covery of mineral riches. The result
of their work so far has apparently
convinced the company that it world
not be profitable to carry out the
terms of their agreement which pro-
vide for the expenditure of s further
large sum, and it is understood that
they have asked to be released from
these conditions.
THE ANGLO-AMERICAN cONFER-
ENCS.
TH-,Joint Commission of British
and TTnited States represents
tives which had been seeking
a settlement of a number of interna-
tional questions has adjourned with-
out. reaching an agreement. While
it is to be regretted that the matters
which were before the commission are
still unsettled, the fact that a
date, August 2nd, had been fixed
for the resumption of the negotia-
tions shows that there is still hope of
• solution of some of the questions in
dispute. In certain quarters in this
country the Canadian members of the
commission have been criticized on
account of the length of the negotia-
tions, and Canada, it is said, has been
" humiliated " because their represen-
tatives did not Dome home sooner. In
the same way Gnat Britain and the
United States must have been " hum-
iliated " by the action of their repre-
sentatives,
epissentatives, bat we have not heard that
the people of the TJnited States
have been making any oornplainta d
the sort, and, no far as Great Britain
is oonoerned, it appears, from whit
has transpired, that the sittings of the
commis.ion were protracted as long as
they were largely besau.e of the
urgent appeal from London to the
British members of the commission
to remain in Washington as
long as then was any prospect of a
solution of the difficulties which con-
fronted them in their deliberation..
The New York Tribune, one of the
most influential journal. of the United
States, in an article published a few
days before the adjournment of the
commission, took a r .ouable view
of the matter. The Tribune said : -
t.oterily dap.d of. It wee null teeen-
•We, indeed, to suppose they would he.
The amo.M of work involved in etthauative
ruvest4Aati.e and dimension d them was
soon to be toe peat for • single urmmi•sim
tc perform weskit, the Were at We toss's dis-
posal. tJoalmwotal reciprocity, Bering ties
ssaliug, North *tiauti..iehsries, the Alaa-
kat boudffiry, Klondike Mating laws, alien
labor laws, fisheries ries eel shipping in the
great lakes, the railroad bowing system,
are 41 gteetious of tint rate importance,
and there erg as marry more of secondary
rank. Tb ask a single 001111111•4 00 to pro-
vide within six months for the settlement
of them all to an mambos treaty would be
to eek the discovery of Utopia. But if only
e few, or even • single out, o ;he matters
shall be wattled. the work of the eommi.aion
will not be in von. Consider how much
time end labor and expense have been
hitherto expended on single one,. Over
the Bering Sea business we had negotiation.
and eooferenom and as international court
of arbitration, ad even then the questiou
was left unsettled. There was a few yeas
ago far more diecussiou and work over the
North Atlantic Emeriti* than thio commis -
111110 has given to all the questions put to-
gether. So the settlement of only one' or
two deputes , will be a not wtsatutactory
conclusion of the wmnissio,n's work. But
there is still ground for expecting more than
that -for expsctiug iedeed that only a few,
perhaps only one, or two, of the question,.
will he left unsettled. The value of the
cwmmimuoq's work is, morever, not altogeth-
er to be measured by the cumber of q.c
furs settled. The spirit in which 4M
ere oouduoted must be taken into amount.
It may hesitated confidently that the spirit
has hent conciliatory and amicable. Then
has been on both side. en eeriest desire
to reach w agreement The commissioners
have met as fneuds, not as ete,niea. And
however much or little actually has been
or shall be transacted, friendly relations
between the countries have beeu strength-
ened, and the way made easter for future
settlement of questions which may uuw he
left unsettled. That to • feature of the case
which it is well to keat.in mind, and it
that he done there will bSllttle talk about

to cane the cause of Rosser HoLNra,
but like BALAAN, the eon of Bacot, the
tenor of his speech was eo changed
that the curses became blessings to
Nougat', and great good resulted.
He spoke at Clinton and Uo•ierich,
and Colborne and Goderich township
are contiguous to these points. In
these municipalities the Conservative
vote dropped away from the vote of
last Deoember by 191. if we could

Another says: " The hy-

Both these remedies are
