THE bOUTH HURON CONTEST.
77rr electuw of Smith 1101-011 will
cl►ooie next 1Vednesrday, the 22nd
inbL, between M. Y. Mrla+ao, editor
of the Menforth Expositor. and Ilcury
Horton. of Tucketsrluith. as their rep-
re.entative in the Nettle of Cuuituons
for the remainder of the current Par-
liamentary term. If the Liberals of
the riding are short and Active, they
should be able to secure the election of
Mr. McLean. He is r. man of experi-
ence in public :affair's. and while by no
cleans a mtrrow partisan be nes given
is lifetime of service to the Liberal
party, and every Liberal vote in the
riding should be polled in his favor.
Mr. McLean's recognized ability in the
•
discussion or public merisure.. his fair-
ness and his devotion 111 the public
interest may also be counted upon to
Irring to him the voles of not a few
who do not class I.bemeelvesl w Lib -
ends.
Especially from the fanners /of the
riding Mr. McLean deserver hearty
support. His voice and hitt pen have
always been employed in protest
against attempts to impose unfair
conditions upon the agricultural in-
dustry, and be may be depended upon
to cast his influence strongly in Par-
liament on the side of fair play to the
farmer.
It is dificult to see what the people.
of South Huron could hope for fton
the return of the Opposition candidate,
what reform they could thus expect to
advance, what improvement they
could thus hope to bring Alout. The.
complaint of governmental extrava-
gance, from a party which plunged
Canada into deficits and debt ; the
talk of scandal, floe a pally under
whose rule Canada was paraded he -
fore the world as :hr scene of mono -
mental Is,trlling and corruption in
high places --surely these will be
taken by the electa•s of South Huron
at their real value As stn touch election-
eering claptrap. The ties pie of ('an-
ada are not yet prepared W turn the
Liberal Government out and put in
its piece the remnant of the "nest of
traitors." For some years to
any reforms to be carried out in the
Conduct of Federal affairs will bre car-
ried out under the auspices of the
Liberal party and the people of South
Huron cannot do better than to send
to the council* of the Liberal party lit
Ottawa a ' tun of the reforming
spirit, such as Mr. McLean hes shown
himself to be.
RULES OF ORDER.

Another natter Whirl' was (lire
eitee sl' at the inaugural alerting w•As
the methal of takiug the vote of the
u/elnhetit on naolions before the emitt-
ed. The old way and the proper
way. we !wheat was that the Mayer
would ask the pleasure of the entomb
in regard to the motion, and if no
objection watt: taken the Mayor would
declare the motion carried. If aUy
tneu,her detnanded it. the "yeas and
nays" were taken. Fox -Mayer Elliult
introduced the method of holding up
bands for every vote, which made the
cutncil look like a tut of school Chil-
dren. The prevent enuneil will likely
return to the old method, which is
more dignified and mote expeditious.

"Mr, Edward Gurney, of •Hamans

into the limelight of unenviable pub-
licity. by a speech at the annual 'lan-
geutof the 1'otttttt lTravellers' As-
sociation of Canada, when in reply to a
toast of 'Our Manufacturers,' be Ad-

look at the tariff from :a pe•aswoual
twist of view,' arging that the tariff
of Canada should tweet that of the
United States, and t+emarking that if
this is to he purely a farmers country,
and not it country of manufacturing
and paining, then an hr it. but we
should know it now.' This is the kind
of gratitude meted nit to the farmers
and motinctire workers of this

national rename, have foregone their
own direct interests and home the
burden of fiscal protection in order to

tax ourselves twenty. twenty-five,

struggling manufacturing industries,
Ins we a1.• berated because we do not
imitate the fnlwuub example of the

Gurney credit for all sincerity, ltttt
his trouble is that of all other faeur-
