Like many other bilk now brought
•up in ;the House. the one brought in by
Mr. Caneeron, for th&re-division of the
CountytOf Huron for electoral purposes,
;need which has yet to rieceiv.e - its third
mading, is net without its faults. To
Mr. Cameron himself, in whose inter-
est peineipielly the bill bag been brought
.befare the Heuseaevery word and every
:seeetence it contains is full of indispen-
;sable conditions. Mr. Cameron, fully
aware of the 'fact that the law's strong
arm is now Stretched, over his being,
wishes btr seine raeans to so arrange
matters that in case: the .protest now
entered should tell unfavorably for him,
he or some other gentleman of like po-
litical faith might run the gauntlet with
less risk than at the late election. What
we mean els simply this: that should
Mr. Cameron be unseated (and without
question he will), the bill he has brought
before • the , House does not provide
Against Tackersinith voting at the elec-
tion which would then take place. The
priyiteget of one municipality being eh-
franchisa ta vete. Air two nembers for
the samk'eleetioo, end .for the same
House;lias no precedent whatever. At
the late election for the Dominion
HonseTuckersmith was in the Centre
Didinge and its people voted for either
Horton Or Mr. Crabbe, and now
they fetree represented: by the former
nenteenean. .The bill spoken of is
brought ett this early stage to no
other end than the enfranchising of
Tackersmith tte rote at the election

And on the: Same' groand :as the one
was which will shortly be declared void.
If Mr. Cameron eould teat Mr. Green-
way en easily att elest two elections,
befaia means, why reed he be in such
alaste to:have the Township of Tucker-

ed with dist, the dishes still in the cup-
board, and the fire out. Puffing like a
pet lamb after a race, the dear little wife

blindless windows, and proceeds to blot
the fire, with a mingling of " terms ",
from the Lord of the Manor. Dinnei.
