MAYOR MACKLIN HOLDS
E
Chancellor Boyd Monday dismissed
the appeal of R Thompson from
Robert p
the ruling of His Honor Judge Doyle,
declaring Alfred H. Macklin elected
Mayor of Goderich. His lordship
finds that the ballots were improperly
tampered with, "rbere is" be
declares, "a method in the manipula-
tion which indicates design, and not
mere accident, on the part of the
voters. There has been a most un -
seemingly disregard of the statutory
directions for the secrecy and security
of the ballot. No care was exercised
in the safe keeping of the ballot box.
There was no undue hardship in im-
posing costs on the party who invoked
the sod of the changed ballots in the
recount, Though the scheme may
of have been persoually known to
him. he is affected by it, as it was the
work of his agents, who sought at all
risks to turn the tale in his favor, and
awarding costs is one means sf enforc-
ing the policy of honest elections."

A FEW OF MANY KICKS,
A P
Howick eorros ohfdent to the
Fordwich Record remarks :— if
Premier Whitney leaves redistribution
of Huron as stated iu the outset, it's
good-bye to we poor Grits 111 Howick.
While we had the township of Grey
we could hold you Howick Conserva-
tives handily. We notice the Premier
states that this first grading may be
re -considered. Let us hope for the
best.
THE FARMER'S Sue SAYS 1—At least
pone of the changes which are propos-
ed in Qatario constituencies by
the Whitney Government carry
with them the appearance of
an attempt at a gerrymander.
In the face of it there seems no reason
for the transfer of a township from
South to North Essex unless for
preventing the re-election of the
Liberal representative of the South
riding. The proposed change in
Brockville will make what is a com-
pact riding into one of . exceedingly
awkward shape, In Huron as it stands
the i
three ridings bare a population of
21, 739, 21,460, and 18,621 respectively,
as proposed they will have 21.681,
17,389 and x5,13o2. Instead of the
previous discrepancy in population
being removed, it is being increased,
and incidentally Liberals are being
hived into one of the ridings. Mr.
Whitney bas made as excellent
record la abolishing the numbered
ballot and in refusing to use unfairly
the power in his hands in bye -elec-
tions which have taken place since he
attained office. It will be a pity if that
record is marred now by anything
having even au appearance of unfair-
ness in the redistribution of the con-
stituencies. Nur is there political pro-
fit to he made out of any such mis-
use of power. There is nothing which
will turn public sentiment more quick-
ly against a Government than the crea-
tion
reation of a belief that au attempt .is be--
,iug made to maintain control by a dis-
honest manipulation of the machinery
of elections.
