The Wiegham Advance, whose editor is an officer of East Huron Conservative Aesooiation, gives out thefollowing uoeeja7 this week :-A number of our exchanges have outlined possible ebang- es du the complexion of the three Huron ridings, as at peanut constituted for the Ontario Legislature. The Advance has not, till now, given any outline, because 15 has nu authority to epeak onthe sub- jeot, nor do we now know what the in- tentions of the Government may be in the matter. I5 is said however, that Premier Whitney has expressed himself as op- posed to the division of municipalities, and at present two townships in Huron are divided via., Halle t and Goderiob (otownebir.badivi ded If maacmeniciebaupe.litigee wee arilel notbe t necessary. The following is one of the outlines suggested :- WEST HURON -Composed of Wing. ham, Turnberry, Howiok, Wroxeter, Brenta, Blyth, Morris, B , Y , Iilast and West Wawanoeh, mhd Ashfield, EAST HURON -Composed of the Town of Goderioh, Uolborue, Hallett, Grey, McKillop, Tuolteremith, Seaforth' and Clinton. SOUTH HURON-Usborno, Stephen, Hay, Stanley, Goderioh towaehip, Exeter, Heneall and Bayfield. Now, be it clearly understood that the Advance is not advocating thie division, nor do we know that it will be the one chosen, for we have no authority to speak on that line, The above is only ono of the several out- lines • ouggeeted. In its favor, ft is olaimed that the population, are near- ly equal. Also that politically it would not materially alter the noun- ' ty, The West riding would be good fighting ground ; the Beat would be Liberal RS it is at meant, and the South would be conservative as at present. However, other euggeetions may be (and have been) made, It is easy to draw plans, that may be oast into the waste -basket when those wbo -control the situation say of what municipalities the new ridings shall couaist. It is, however, too much to espied, that auy division can be made that will, be altogether satisfactory to all eon - earned. a' ELECTIONS, S MUNICIPA CTION , The result of last Monday's polling in the various muuioipalitiee in this 555110n was as follows :- BRUSSELS.
