A, GOOD WORTNG -MA.TORTIT.
The Doiniiikta 4oetious whieh took .
place on the 2.2sul ill,t., were, without
doubt, in mauy Asses the hardest fought t
contests that baVe b401 place in this
Dominion for anany years. The Oppe-
sition fought iwith'vigor and deaperation,
even the ltleasera of the Legislative As-
sembly joinisig in the fray, and rendering
assistance to Mr, Rlake. Every effort
was made, and All things conceivable were
brought fenth to snatch a verdict from
the country in their favor. In this pro.
vine, Mr. Blake and the Reform press,
finding other attempts futile, turned their
attention, with no small degree of ear•
nestness, to the National Policy, with 'a
view of 'courting favor ; but their pro-
mises and resolutes were in vain, the peo-
ple could not be deluded. Even the
sanctity of the family homes was invaded,
when. it was thought that ib would work
to the disadvantage of the Conservative
party. In North Middlesex a circular
addressed to the Roman Catholics of On-
tario, was sent into the house of every
Catholic in the Riding, counselling them
to vote against Sir. John Macdonald and
to vote for Mr. Blake, the upholder of
equal rights"to:all, the contents of which
circular were published last week. The
design iin thus distrillitting these missives
was to create strife and bad feeling
amongst the Roman Catholics and Pro-
testants, but we are pleased to be able to
say that the Catholic electors of North
Middlesex are possessed of more intelli
gene than these political knaves gave
them credit of possessing, and instead of
being hoodwinked, they turned out like
men and voted for the retention of our
fair Dominion. In the Province of Que-
bec the Government was strenuously and
bitterly opposed, owing to its not!conced-
ing with the French in the matter of the
Riel execution, and this,- and this only,
was the main issue of the contest there.
But notwithstanding these cries and their
animation toward Conservatives the Gov-
ernment gets a good representation from
Quebec, while the maritime provinces—save
Prince Edward Island—where secession and
annexation were preached, elects many sup-
porters of the Government. We admit that
Mr. Blain with the aid of the Rielites of
the Province has secured a small majority
in Quebec—if they only stay with him. The
Anglo Canadian Province of the Confeder-
acy has given Mr. Blake and his followers a
fitting rebuke which will be a lesson for
them to profit by—that the Anglo Saxon
race in the Dominion, while according
equal liberty to all, will not tolerate any na-
tionality taking the law in their own hands,
or proclaiming when it shall or shall not be
meted out to offender* more especially in
the case of murder. Sir John can claim
his a moral victory.

tion, while in Ontario it has also been re-
ceived with much favor, In the North-
west, of course, it will be tested ander
somewhat peculiar circumstances, seeing'
that the original transfer from the Crown
will be made under it in most cases, and
there will be no necessity for the extensive
searches, etc-, which have somewhat in-
terfered with the popularity of the measure
elsewhere. The system. is suoh an
eminently practical improvement that it
will soon be adopted as the general law
of all the Provinces,
Election NOtes.
By fhe reeount in the Kingston election
case Sir john Mirdonald's majority is in-
creased by 6, making a majority of 17.
Whop Parliatnent meets, 7th of April next,
it is expected that Sir John A. Macdonald
will have a majority of 40.
Reports from the territories indicate that c
when the polling takes place on the 15th of
March the 'Territories will return a solid
Conservative contingent.
It is believed Sir John Macdonald will sit
for Kingston, and that Mr. C. H. Mackin-
tosh will get the vacant seat in Carleton.
If any man deserves a position it is he, be-
cause of his voluntary retirement from a
sure thing in Ottawa to run in a difficult
constituency like Russell.
It was currently reported on the streets
of Quebec Tuesday that intelligence was re-
ceived from Chicago that upwards of $70,-
000 American funds were sent there to car-
cupt the electors of the Province in the
Grit interest.
J. W. Manning, temperance lecturer, and
officer appointed to enforce the Scott Act in
the Province of Ontario, travelled from
Toronto to Almoute to vote against Mr.
Jamieson, leader of the Scott Act party in
the House of Corrunons, and in favar of Mr.
Macdounel, who is against prohibition.

Mr. H. G. Hopkirk, late private secretary

Post office Department, a new postal divis-
ion 'having been organized in Western On-
tario. It will include the electoral dis-

'kirk will take up his residence at Stratford,
which will be the headquarters of the
division.
INFORMATION has been received that
the Lieutenant Governor -ship of Ontario,
whiCh has been held by Hon. John
Beverley Robinson longer than the
usual term, has been offered to Sir Alex-
ander Campbell, and has been accepted.
It is rumored that Mr. Robinson, whom

THE STANDARD, which has done such
excellent service for the Conservative
cause since the campaign began, announe-
ed a few days ago, that it would suspend
its issues for about three weeks, when it

THE first of the series of Experimental
Farms to bo established by the General
Government in different provinces of the
Dominion, has got into order. The loca-
tion selected is within three miles of
Ottawa, where a tract of 460 acres has
been selected, The land is undergoing
the necessary preparation for the ap-
proaehing spring, arid material has been
purchased for the purpose, Prom a bul-
letin just published we learn that the de-
partment is ready for seecbtesting, and
samples forwarded for the Neese will

has received hearty encouragement from
farmers.' Those interested may have a

West Iuron Qelobra,tes the Vic-
tory.
The election in West llama was probably
one of the roost exciting emtests in the Pro-
vince. The reputation Mr. M. C. Caln01.00
has obtained as a garbler, corruptioniet and
falsifier, made the people of every part of
the Dominion interested itt the resalt. .1a
Clinton both parties fought their level best,
and when, ou the ballots being &muted, a
majority of fifty-two was announced for Mr.
Porter, the exeitenteut was intense, as this
was the first occasion Clinton ever gave a
Conservative majority. About 9 o'clook it
was pretty well understood that Mr. Porter
was elected, as there were only two polis to
bear from, and when the complete returns
were in, giving Mr. Porter a majority, the
cheering and enthusiasm of the Conserva-
tives knew no bounds. A huge bonfire was
erected on the market square, and while this
was burning, Mr. Cemoron's effigy wus hung
and burnt, amid the cheers of the thousands
of people assembled on the streets. The
peer le rejoiced that the country was relieved
of such a political nuisance as Mr. Cameron.
Accordingly, the Conservaties, on Wednes-
day decided to celebrate the glorious victory
by a grand torchlight procession in the even-
ing, in honor of Mr. Porter. It was :maimed
that Mr. Porter should drive delve from God-
erich to take part. About two o'clock a de-
putation of some thirty or forty iu cutters
and sleighs left Goderich to accompany Mr.
Porter to Clinton. They were met a Hol-
niesville by a Clinton deputation composed
of Messrs. Raney, Doherty, Itausford, Drs.
Dowsley and Beacom. The party arrived in
Clintou at five, and when they drove up to
the Commercial Hotel, where large crowds
were assembled, the cheers wore deafening.
Mr. Porter received congratulations from
many friends and supporters. At seven
o'clock a monster procession was formed op-
posite the Commercial Hotel, headed by the
Doherty Organ Co.'s baud, madly of those
taking part carrying brooms, torches and
Chinese lanterns. The streets were throng-
ed with thousands of spectators,and as the rig
containing Mr. Porter and other prominent
Conservatives passed through the cheers
were loud and eontinuous. Hankerchiefs
were waved from many of the windows and
fireworks were displayed at different points
of the route. The town was actually jam-
med with people from the surrounding coun-
try—Bayfield, Seaforth, Blyth, Exeter and
Goderich. After parading the principal
streets, Mr. Porter addressed the immense
assemblage from the balcony of the Commer-
circial in a short speech, thanking them for
the noble work ,they had done in wresting
the Riding from bribery and corruption from
which it has suffered severely since 1872, and
electing a supporter of a good and honest
Government. He particularly congratulated
the people of Clinton ou rolling up such a
handsome majority in face of the fact that
on the day previous to the election the no-
torious boodlers of West Huron had spent
the afternoon iu the town. Messrs. F. W
Johnston and Ed. Compion, of Goderich,
also addressed the crowd. After a serenade
from the Doherty Organ Cu.'s band the
crowd dispersed. Congratulatory telegrams
are pouring in from all parts of the Domin-
ion on the magnificent vic.ory over Mr.
M. C. Cameron.
JOHN'S MAJORITY.
Hon. Thos. White Says it Will be in the
Neighborhood of 40.
Speaking on the subject of Sir John's
majority in the House, Hon. Mr. White
said, "Our majority will be in the neigh-
borhood of 40, and the new lease of power
given Sir John is an endorsation of his
policy on the part of the people of the
Dominion. The Government will carry
the seats in the North-west, and British
Columbia, and we will also get a majority
of the Nationalipts. Apart from a single
issue, most of the latter will support the
Government on all questions of policy.
As a matter of fact, no difficulty could
possibly be experienced in carrying on the
Government, The formal abnormal ma-
jorities of Sir John were at one time never
dreamed of, His majority to -day is
i
relatively larger, except n one instanee,
than that of any previous Government be-
fore or after Confederation, Still, rela-
tively speaking, the present majority of
the Premier would be regarded as high in
other countries, Then, again, the asser-
tions of the Liberals that a Government
comprising so Many differenb elements
cannot hold together, are equally applica-
ble to the Opposition led by Mr, tlake.
The patriotic poi* of the Conservatives
I feel confident, have the effect of
bringing about a reunion of all elements
of the party,'
