An enthusiastic convention of Re. formers of Eat Huron was held at Brussels on Thursday of last week for the purpose of electing ot%ice-bearers for the ensuing year, and for taking steps towards checkmating the etiorts of the revi her barristers at the next election. The chair was taken by Thomas Strachan, reeve of Grey township, and on the p atform were Thos, Gibson, M. P. P,; Ur. Macdon, aid of Wingliam ; W. T. R. Preston secretary of the Provincial deform Association, and W. 1,1 Kerr, secre. tary of East Huron Reform Associa. Hon The chairman in opening the meeting dwelt upon the necessity for ilntnediate and earnest work in the matter of the voters' lists, and stated that it was by close attention to the revising of the lista that the next election in East Huron had to be won. Not only the candidates, but every i.:- telligent and right-minded voter should take a personal interest in the per fecting of the lists, and no legitimate effort should be left undone to counter- act the machinations of Sir John Macdonald's revising barristers. At the last Dominion erections the Re- formers had not been successful in ousting the Tory party, but since thrt time a change Lad come over popular sentiment, and there was every reason to believe that the corrupt Govern- ment which bad held sway since 1878 would receive its death -blow at the next general elections. The means that had been resorted to•by Sir John and his colleagues were well known, and it was not necessary for the speaker to enter into details before a meeting of intelligent Reformers such as the convention was composed of. The Tory party had resorted to the 1 !ie scored point after point against the iniquitous measuee he was loudly and enthusiastically applauded. The speak- er pointed out amongst other things that individual effort was necessary on the part of the Refurniers i£ they aim- ed at success, for the revising barris ter would take food care to lock after the Tvey tnterests, At the Conclusion of hie address a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Mr, Preston, Short speeches were also made by Dr. Sloan, of .Blyth; Dr. Macdonald, of Wiughatn; Thomas Gibson, M. P. P., Wroxeter, and others. At the close of the meeting resolu- tions warmly approving of the reform leadership of Hon. Edward Blake and Hon. Oliver Mowat in the Domiuiuu and Local House were unanimously adopted. County atoms. There are 25 students attending the high school at Clinton.
