STATIN(, THE CASE.— We notice by the Toronto papers that Mr. A.11. Musgrove has been appointed pt$tmaster of Wins - ham. leaving vacant the representatjonjof North Huron in the Legislature: ' We understand that Premier Hearst and Mr. Proudfoot. the Opposition leader, 'have concurred in the opinion that no bye - elections should be contested at the pres- ent time. any seat becoming vacant to be tilled by a °representative of the same party as the pre'ioos member. in this case a Conservative would be chosen for North Hur ni and such being itie erase w•e do not hesitate in stating that we know of no person so well fitted in this case as Dr. T. E. Case. of Dungannon. Dr. Case has been a resident of our village for over thirty-tive years. He has hien a lifelong Conservative, and really the works of the party in this section. and when an electirn is in sight and a candidate is Chosen he usually wends his way to Dungannon to consult the Doctor as to his campaign. and when polling day comes tie Doctor is on the job early and sees that the vote is polled. including the halt. the lame and the blind, and does not let up until the last ballot is in. We have no hesitation in saying that if the Doctor will accept the nomination, and he should have no opposition. North Huron will be represent- ed by one well ahle to fill the place. and all Dungannon will join in tipping the hat to T. E. Case, M..D., M. P. P. MR. N.
