• SOi'TH HURON'S CANDIDATE.
The Clinton New Era,in referring to
the Huron Expositor's statements,
in answer to Tem TIMES' reference to
the nepotism of the members • of Perlia
went and the meagre change of the
present M. P. P. again representing
South Huron, requests the Reformers
of the Riding, in yiew of the strength
of Mr. Eilber, the Conservative Candi-
-date; to put forth every effort to re-
elect their candidate, Mr. McLean. It
might be said in the outset that Mr.
Silber is an exceedingly strong candi-
date, a clever legislator and a genial
fellowman. The residents of Stephen
• township know Minas such; be has been
a friend to them,financially,and he will
prove himself equally capable and
willing in whatever capacity he may
eeccepp e,iryoguard„safely the interests
of the people of the province of Ont-
ario. As to his career, we might
mention a few of the advancing steps
be has made. Henry Either was born
in the township of Stephen, and is in
every respect a self made man ; and
therefore is one of Huron's sons. In
bis early boyhood days he attended
what was known as the Ohl Log
School House, e mile south of Crediton,
and knows something of the hardships
of the pioneers, having done consider-
able work on the farm, and the last 20
years carried on a careful mercantile
xs]neee, lie has been manager and
reasi rer of the Hay Township Far-
mers' Mutn i1 Fire Insurance Company
for the last 18 yeitrs, and has proved
1th:tie if to be a thorough, painstaking
official,. bringing the Company to oe-
,cnpy , as position secaucl to none in
• (3iirtario, of its kind. About seventeen
Year's ago, when the Township of
a,eepheu was continually facing a debt
$27,500, and no plan or arrange -
'merits being proposed to wipe it
b •
• ut, a large number of farmers in the
^Township of Stephen trade a special
• request for Mr. Eilber toaeeept the Ist
Deputy -Reeve ship, On being appoint-
ed he •carefully surveyed the surround-
• ings, and the following year made a
proposition to the rate payers as to
how the debt could be wiped out with-
out being a burden to them. The
Council were collecting as a township
.;,
,.rate three mills, and Mr. Eilber said
£fiat at
least one mill of that
Amount could 4
be saved, d'and if
the e rate
payers would make op e mill as a
sinking fund, the council would an-
nually appropriate an equivalent from
the township rate. This scheme was
adapted; and the ratepayers, having
every confidence in hire, kept him in
first position until the last two years,
• On 3Ir. Ratz's retirement they elected
him (without opposition) to the Reeye-
• ship. To -day the Townshipp of Stephen
• is out of debt, Mr. Either and his
colleagues having only levied direct
to pay the large debt,about $11,000,
and with that sum the total debt of
$27,500 was paid off. This year the
taxes of the township will be reduced,
so that the township rate will be $8
less on 100 acres of land assessed for
$4000. This is • one of the many acts
which has made Mr. Eilber popular in
the township of Stephen, and it is just
for such economical measures we wish
to place him around the Legislative
tables in Toronto. Mr. Either also took
a very active part in the building of
the new Evangelical church at Credi-
ton. This is without doubt one of the
handsomest structures of its kind in
-the Conntyof Huron. During its pro-
gress M. Eilber was chairman of the
committee and was appointed clerk of
the works, and under his personal
supervision that handsome Wilding
was erected at a great loss of time and
inconvenience to him. The congreg-
ation, in recognition of his service,
placed a memorial window in the
church as a small token of their respect
_towards • him. To -day there is not a
man in the County of Heron, who has
done the -same amount of business
with the • public, who is better liked
than he is, ncl for whom the public
have snore t•• respect, and no person
knows that-be'i:te,p-- than the Public
Press of the County of Huron (irres-
pective of'polities), who are all agree-
ingthat Mr. McLean cannot win and
that Mr. PEilber will be the next repre-
sentative.. Mr, McLean is attempting
to explain to his friends that ho to -day
is a Tient.- popular man than he was
four years ago. This;Mr. McLean will
find is not the case. To -clay among
the Reformers' of South Huron, Mr.
Bishop-ecx-M. P. P. is•themost popular
man, and it is the general feeling
that he is. still by • far the better
roan of the two. Mr. McLean Was
continually wormiug his way to a seat
in thce oc:.al Legislature and the Re-
• forriiers' friend - of South- Huron (Mr.
• Bishop), had to stop' to one side. • Mr.
McLeaaa May find that he Will be un-
able t o explain to the voters of Sotxth
to their satisfaction, the votes
he ,., e (lusiri the last Session of the
Legisletme; viz: -"increase of • Pro-
vincial expenditure and auneities, and
elailwaty *etilcates, which do not op -
vear'liabilities" xn t h e sheetof the
ince." "Appointing of reg ars 1
of deeds and other county officials." j
"Purchasing of supplies for public in-
stitutions and stationery required for
use by tender." "Increase of Domin-
ion public debt (Haycock & Cavell
motion)." "Mining deal with Colonel
W. T. Engledue, of England. " "In-
spectors fees of public institutions."
"Salaries of the Principal and vice -
Principals of the Ontario Normal
College." "Immigration expenditure,"
"Agricultural College (farm proper)
and Poultry Association." "Toronto
University." "Provincial audit." Etc.
South Huron will elect Mr. Silber,
who will be a representative of the
people and will vote to reduce the ex-
penditure of the Province and leave
the appointment of county officials
and their remuneration in the hands
of theP eopp le thereby. saving the
people of the county thousands of
dollars annually.

THE Ems;EP +'R TIMES
THE STAFFA FAIR,
This fair is held under the auspices '
of the Hibbert branch society, This
year eclipsed all previous exhibitions
of this society ; in fact as far as merit
is concerned it was the bestshow of its
size yet held this season. Every de-
partment was fully represented, and
lodges found it difficult to award
prizes meritoriously. In the cattle
class, the entries were very large and
some fine stock exhibited. Horses
too, were on exhibition in large num-
bers, and some fine animals could be
seen. The indoor department was
never better, there being keen com-
petition in all classes. The attendance
at the fair this year was larger than
known for years, upwards of $100 be-
ing taken at the gate from an ad-
mission sion f .of 15 cents.'bile the
s fee While
directors were considering the dis-
banding of the show, this year's suc-
cess may give them fresh courage to
continue. Following is the prize

The sense of security against saulden
emergencies from croup and bronhitis,
felt by those who are provided with a
bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
would be cheaply purchased at ten
times the cost of that remedy. In all

and sure to cure.

THE ZURICR FAIR.
This popular fair took place on
Wednesday and Thursday last, under
the auspices of the Hay branch Agri-
cultural society. The weather being
all that could be desired, the exhibits
and spectators in attendance exceeded
the results of previous years. In all
classes competition was keen, and the
stock and articles exhibited were of
the very best specimens. The gate re-
ceipts amounted to $180, while the
number of exhibitors far exceeded last
year, many new ones appearing on the.
list. The indoor department was re-
plete in all classes, the ladies' work,
grain, fruit, etc., being of the very
hest and in many respects fax ahead of
more pretentious exhibitons. F. Hess,
the renowned carriage builder bad a
fine exhibit of carriages, includingdin
g
several attractive mikados. Some
fine horses were shown and the judges
found it difficult to make awards ;
cattle, sheep and hogs were well re-
presented. while in roots there was au
excellent exhibit. On the whole, the
Board are to be complimented upon
the success of this their 33rd annual
fall fair, Following is the prize list ;-
