So long as Sir Oliver Mowat was in active public life the electors of On- tario were Grits if they admired Si' Oliver and Tories if they opposed him. But when Sir Oliver Mowat retired the infloonces which did a good deal to butler' political f ormations in Ontario were removed. The results were a tre- mendous lopsening of party ties. The process of disintegration was continu- ed by the withdrawal of burning issues from the provincial campaign, and consequently thereevas no telling what might happen last Teesday. • There are certain facts in connection with the election which will not only teach politicians a lesson as to the power of the people, but will prove of great benefit to the public. When:the' Liberal leaders in Canada are begin- ning to imagine that their party is superior to the people, it is high time that the electorate asserted their rights. ,And on the other hand an overwhelming yictory by the 'Hardy Government -would haye serious ef- fect (as Sir Oliver Mowat has said) on tied eountry, bemuse it Would encour- age the Liberals, at Ottawa to go on to sin in confidence that they would nev- er be found mit. It was the duty of patriots who thought oftheir country to vote for a change, and ere another issue of TEE TruEs it will in all proba- bility be a settled fact that Whitney is premier. • x One of the casual advantages offlon. A. S. Reedy's position, as represented by the circumstaiace, is that helms not to meet the Legislature for a year. A great advantage this. If the Con- seryatives had a clear and unmistak- able majority in the next Legislature Mr. -Hardy would have nearly a whole year to mend his fences. A party with the resources of a Government at its services can do a good deal in a year. It is not certain that the Liberals would have come in immediately after • the election of 1896 if Sir Charles ,Tup- per could have had ten or eleven inonths in which to.prepare for the next seseion of Parliament. Obstruc- tion not only defeated the Remedial bill, but it kept back the supplies so that the Government had to meet Parliament right after the election. Mr. Hardy is free from that necessity, and if the results of the polling should fail to give Mr. Whitney a decisive majority, he will play bard at the game • of politics to traprove his position be- fore be meets the Legislature.

LORIN 81118M1i01MITERIL311071 "South Huron redeemed" flashed over the wires Tuesday night, and this Riding having for the past 30 years, or more, beenlookechupon as a Liberal stronghold, the result was received by surprise by the outside world. In fact the news was so refreshing that within a very few hours, Mr. Henry Either, the Bismarck, of the Riding, had re- ceived no less than 200 congratulatory telegrams. The contest was a hot one, each party working to win. Mr. Eilber had his organization perfect in every detail and the party well united, while bis own personality retained the respect and confidence of his friends, notwithstanding the false accusatious • concerning his personal character in a business capacity, or the would-be damaging circulars distributed among the Catholics as to his being a P. P. .A. Something, more persuasive than these voluminous circulars was required to detract the confidence reposed in Mr. Bilber by people who have known him since boyhood, as and honorable, af- fable, and responsible person. It was •a victory of victories, and where he was best known, the majorities were • piled up far beyond expectation. Ste- phen, Exeter, -Osborne, Hensel]. and Goderich township did nobly, while his friends in the other municipalities worked hard against large odds. Mr. Eilber fought a fair battle and abso- lutely refrained from introducing per- sonalities into the campaign. On this account he commanded the respect of some strong opponents who finally • came to his aid and assisted in his el- ection. Mr. Eilber will go down to the Legislative Halls, in 'Toronto, as South Huron's representative, and if at the end of four years he has not proved himself more than a mere vot- ing machine, we will be sadly amiss • in our estitaate of the man; and we can safelfsay that he will not again seek the suffrages of the electors, if his record is not one that will not only surprise but please the constituents. Following are the respective majorit- ies 7 - Where Mr. Eilber was best known the majorities were piled up. Stephen township did nobly in stan- • ding by a tried and true friend. To Stephen, 'Osborne, Exeter and Hensall belong the honor of electing Eilber. • From a LiberaFmajority some years ego of over 200 to a Conservative xna- yority of 180 in 1893, is not bad. A friend in Goderich on Wednesday asked Tera Trams over the phoneif McLean got any votes at all in Step- hen. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This was our motto in South Huron, and after 80 yeare, of fighting we have captured the Riding: Mr. Eilber is the hero. A keener contest has never been veaged. in South Huron. Both parties worked with a determination to win, but Mr. Eilber and his friends pat up the strongest fight, Hurrah Remember the lee day of March, What a glorious victorywe achieved on that memorable occasion. We ain't goingeto let the Liberals have all the cheering, if we know it. The electors of Stephen appreciated the services of Mr. Eilber at the coun- cil Board for Same 18 years. They will now keep bins in the Legislature just as long as they like. Sonth • Huron is thews. The sturdy yeomen of Stephen fairly pargyse.d Mr. McLean anti his friends. R,00rbacks don't count in Stephen. The electors there properly resented thepeesonal attacks on Mr. Eilber by giving hitt] a majority of 875. Mr. Bishop's majority in that township ranged from 50 to 100 in the variotle betties fought by him. Me. Eilbetts personality ie veil* strotig.

JAMES PLINY WHITNEY. of the two parties, there is no doubt whatever about this great fact, that the Hardy Government has been routed. The Liberal party has run to seed. The coun- try has no further use for it. The people have unmistakably declared fors change of Government, and a change'of Govern- ment is most assuredly at hand. It is absolutely impossible for the Government to conduct the business of tho country; even if a few changes in this estimate should be made by reason of errors or reoounts. The Government no longer retains the confidence of the people. The Government has notice to quit, and the sooner it acts upon the notice the more will its aetion be appreciated by the coun- try. During the last session the majority of the Government ranged from 27 to 37. To -day it is in a minority. Surely Mr. Hardy will require no other evidence than this that the people demand he will give way to a new leader and a new Govern- ment. On account of tho contest thereisbound to he a great deal of fitigation in the courts. There will be a large number of seats contested. But time is now in favor of the Conservative party. The Grits are ontthe run. Their prestige is gone. They are deemed. The Conservative party is in the ascendancy. The 'prestige that the Government has lost now belongs to its opponents. This prestige will give the Conservatives the advantage inevery bye - election, and of these we may expect quite a crop, if the Premier should not resign and insist on a new election. In any event Whitney is the coming roan. He will be tho next Government leader. .Although the Liberals have been al- lowed Prescott, there is good reason.for believing that Mr. Evanturel will range himself on. the side of the Conservatives when the Legislature meets. He was originally eleoted as a Conservative, and be was only appointed. Speaker because the Government thereby were enabled to make their majority larger by one than it would otherwise have been. In regard to the three constituencies from which there are no reliable reports, and Russell, where no election was held, the Conservatives stand a better chance than the Liberal. Briefly, the result of the election is that the Conservatives have a majority of two in 90 seats, with the probability of increasing that majoriV by anything from one to four seats. • Below are the returns as complete as possible this morning: - CONSERVArr vzs 46.

THE CON8{111ER LEER. • Sketch or the Ca •eer of IVO, a, P. -Whitney, Under Who n the Government Forces Rave Been Routed. James Pliny Whitney, QC., is of Eng- lish ancestry, He was born at Williams- burg, Dundas County, itt Ooteber, 1843, and was educated at the Cornwall Gram- mar School. After leaving school he began the study of law in the office of alaedon. ald te Maclennan, ie Cornwall, tho seiner partner of the firm being the late Hon. John Sandfield Macdonald, the Premier of Ontario. Though be came of Liberal stock, young Whitney those to ally him- self with the Conservative party, and was a loyal follower of the late Sir John Macdonald, Mr. Whitney was called to the bar at the Easter term, 1376, and the following yea; having married Miss Alice Park, a daughter of Mr. William Park, a well. known citizen of Cornwall, returned to • his native county and opened a law dace nt Morrisburg. His first public entry into politics was in 1886, when he was nom- inated to contest the county in the Con- servative interest. He was beaten by the narrow majority of 25, by Dr. Chamber- lain. The election was voided, and in the bye -election which followed Mr. Wbitney was returned Jan. 31, 1888. At the two subsequent elections Mr. Wbitney was elected by increased majorities. One of his first actions in the Legislature was to briiag In. a bill to make bribery punish- able by imprisomnent. The Government voted the bill down, but Mr. Whitney re- introduced. it, getting supporters from the Liberal rauks, but the party whip was brought to bear, and the bill was' thrown out. However, the Government was compelled to swallow itself, and filially passed a bill on the same lines. It was the member for Dundee who exposed the hollowness of the Govern- ment's pretensions on the temperauce question. The full pressure of the Gov- ernment was brought to bear 'on the hotelmen in. the bye -election of 1888, at which the tereporauce people grew angry and sacrificed political alliances to re- elect Mr. 'Whitney, who had been unseat- ed after the eleotion of 4886. After the general election. of 1890 Mr. Whitney came rapidly to the. front as a prominent and useful member of the Op- • position. He held the full confidence of Mr. Meredith (non Chief justice Sir William Meredith), and on Mr. Marter's retirement from the leadership in April, 1896, was unanimously chosen for the position. . On his return. to Morrisburg after his appointment he was the recipi- ent of an enthusiastic public deeionstra- ton. Mr. Whitney's first 'session as leader began Feb. 10, 1897, and he won much respect by warmly seconding the motion making Mr. Evannuel Speaker. His course in the Legislature has been such as to make him personally popular with all members. a the House, and in all matters of race and creed the Conserva- tive leader has shown the best of modera- tion and good judginent. Mr. Whitney served with tho volunteers during the Feniau raid of 1866, and is DOW a lieutenant -colonel iureservemilitia of his connty. He was made a Q.C. th 1800. Socially and. personally, Mr. Wiet. ney is very popular, and both publicly and privately his is a life of integrity aud rectitude. • A Wild Time In Hamilton.
