that he should be made a sacriace to

been allowed to die long ago.
"We Will Whack Whitney" has dis-
appeared from the signboard.
The Patrons from Joe Haycock in

The three Greys lined up in the Con-

represented by two Patrons and a Lib-
eral.
"This election," said. a, slightly dis-
appointed Grit last week, "effectual-
ly refntes the charge that Mr. Ross
is over -educating tlie people of On-
tario."
Defeat where they lookedfor victory
and victory where they looked for
defeat, indicate that practical poli-
ticians may be mighty poor judges of
a horse race.
Agriculture is an uuluiiky portfolio.
Jahn Dryden is gond the way of
Hon. Oharles Drury, although Mr,
Dryden may nob complete the analogy
by climbing into any sheriff's office.
All the Lambtons and three Bruces
went for Hardy this time, and at last
election both Lambtons and. two of
the Bruces went against Mowat.
Probably Mr. Hardy would exchange
some of his Larebtons and Bruces for
a first mortgage ea his old majority.
In order to take full advantage of
the local feeling that the Hon. John
Dryden had planted too many of his
relatives in office, the Conservatives
nominated Calder, a young Scotch
farmer, a bachelor, without a relative
in the world. There is no clanger of
nepotism there.
On the first division of the House
after the Provincial election of 1871
the Saudfield Macdonald Government
was defeated' by one vote, the House
standing 37 to 36 on an amendment
to the Railvvey Fund Act. 011 the 19th
of December, four days afterwards,
the government went out, but not ma
til they bad too, as it was plainly
shown by four divisions that they did
not have a working znajoray.
Mr. Joseph Beck, M. P. P. of West
Huron, thanks the electors as follows :
"I wish to publicly return insesincere
thanks to my friends, who ea nobly
stoodby me in the late "elastion con-
test. The Conservative svaltelters did
their duty nobly, and I, aineaSot un-
mindful of kindly:support given me by
so many'of the maepananett electersis
sr
and I trust I will proye ' earself not ma
worthy of their coin:l„ee ais. I again
thank you all gentleinne cifia will en-
deavor to do my duty faithfully as the
representative of the whole of the
electorate of West Huron."
We are in no degree making, a hack-
neyed complaint when we say that the
Conservatives in West Huron were
handicapped by numerous cases of
flagrant partisanship on the part of
election officials. We speak by the
book, and it will be an invitation to
repeat these practices if the Conserva-
tives do not call some of the offenders
to a strict account and show the public
what frauds are perpetrated as the re-
sult of a system of officialism which has
growu to be a powerful machinein this
province, to be worked for the benefit
of a corrupt governmeut. Some of
these cases we hope to quote next week
when all the figures will be available.
Truly, it is time for e change, and one
of the changes must be a departure
from machine methods, and the gov-
ernment of this province in truth and
in fact, for and by the people.--Gode-
ricb Star.
THE WEST HURON MUDDLE.
Registrar Gibson, returning officer
Tuesday declared &arrow [Lib.] elect-
ed. for 'West Huron by eight majority.
The results of three polling divisions
were not countedethe deputy rel,urn-
ing officers having failed to sign the
poll books. A recount has been de-
manded by Mr. Beck, the Conservative
candidate, and it is certain that he will
secure the seat, as the decisions omit-
ted from the deputy retarning officer's
count, and which the county judge is
certain to include, give hina a majority
of 10.

news that were (to be plain) composed
of untruthfulness and impertinence,
despicably mean and a disgra,ce to the
writer. I suppose he imagined in bis
own miud that he was striking seine
people pretty hard but the universal
opinion is that the writer made a
splendid exhibition of his vulgarity,
and must merely have been possessed
for a time being of idiosyncrasy or he
would not have written as he has done,
The writer calls our village constable,
II. Vickers, the low nickname of Mr.
Crone. Very appropriate language for
a correspondent isn't P The writer
says not a member of the Methodist
church, Sunday School and Epworth
League went near MX°. SWitZer and
, family to bid them good-bye. This
is a fabrication manufactured out of
whole cloth. The writer also reproves
the members because they did not
have a surprise party for Mr. Switzer
and family, 1 wotad jest leform the
writer that plans were being laid
for an oyster supper et the residence
of Mr.Switzer before leaving,bub it was
found out thet Mr, Switzer WaS leav-
ing earlier for the West than was ex-
pected and it was then impossible to
have the gathering as wn, eXpeeterl.
It is quite apparent that the writer has
endeavored to coat a damaging slur on
the members of the Methodist Socie-
ties of this place, and the residents of
Mooresville.
