Noble, of Hamilton,' gave an, address to men only on Sunday 'allele!' noon in the parish ball, There Was a good attoudance and the speaker gave an exeellent address on the sub- ject, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." A meeting orate public schoolBoard was 11016 on Saturday evening, Prin- cipal Dlusgrove was presnl and applied for a few weeks' leave of abseuee. His request was unanimously granted. Geo.

Mr. Musgrove has served. the board for the past seventeen years: If elected to the Legislature by the oleotors of North Huron, he will retain the position as principal of the school until Christmas, and then tender his resignation. Is North Huron - Non "Machine bythe Machine ?" To the Editor of Tye 1.050: DEAR Sla,-1 see by the press that the arrangements made lest Summer by the Organizer ot the Conserystive party for Ontario with A. H. Musgrove and tew Conservatives of Wingham has been ratified by the Whitney Government and by the Conservatives ce North Her- on at their Convention last Thursday by patting A. H. Musgrove in the field as the Conservative candidate. For the past year the Conservatives of Wingham, at least a few of .them, have been laying scixemes 1ur the over- throw of Jas. Bowman, wbo was selected by the Conservatives of East Huron as their candidate, in fact he was the only one who would face the Music even if he had been defeated at the previous elec- tion, At the Convention a candidate was also selected for the Commons but while after it, he did not accept, giving sever- al reasons For not theu accepting but the real reason looks as it he was laying a trap for Mr. Bowman to fall into which be did and be did not accept either leaving it partly an open question so that the Conservative of Wingbam could say he did not accept. The next move was to get the County gerrymandered so a riding coild be formed with Wingham as near the center as possible so tbey could have the, most influence. At that time they had a young ambitious defeatedclindidate who was stili looking for honors and he thought with such a riding he could' be elected by legislation if not by the Votes of the people, as be knew that even his father looked on defeat as the fate 01 the family and such it was in both East and West Huron and even in East Huron for the Commons tbe lay out teas framed by the said Dr. now of Goderieb, as what he considered as a Conservative seat and whicb he expected to get at the first Convention but the party , stood by Mr. Farrow and he was againthe candidate, The Dr. had a fling at it later after Mr. Farrow was defeated by Dr, MacDonald but bis fate followed hint and he was defeated by something like 400. As soon as the Conservative party got into power in Ontario the doctor was again planning, as he in the past has been an adept at gerrymandering and as Mr. Either, of the South, wanted his riding made a sure thing (as he has been there for some years and even bis Con- servative friends look for a change and are beginning to think he should step aside and give some else a chance and this Either knows) so with Silber in the South, Dr, Holmes in the Center aud the Wingham pe,rple after a change finding 1. P. Whitney an easy mark for such work, notwithstanding his strong pro. testations to the contrary, he carved the County as we now have it. Mr. Whitney says it was not done for political effect, but it was uamed by the patties I have meutioued last Summer, and the a• P oiotmento eco f amities bythe' PHouse was only a farce, as it was arranged in the constituencies not is the Reuse as it was only made law there. . Part of the game went astray as the Wingham Conservatives were not look- ing for the new riding for either :.the defeated'oeRast lir West Hiit`ztc bp,`for Musgrove and an arraegelueu Made t veal" de bythe organizer 1 0 niz for O r Ontario 1 est g ear y t with s t 1 Mu novo that he :was to Musgrove p the l indtclste aud 'Hie a rid dill a won�d formed for h1p a sine tl�ng Mus- grove bad his previous election experi- ence in view acid it is said provision was proffered that should be be defeated in the sure thing, as sometimes happens, he was to get from the Government a better position than he then had at Principal ot the Wfnghm school, This was consented to by the organizer so rumor seven.. The next trove was to get the Conven- tion. The defeated of West Huron was got out of the way in some manner, how 11 \RS managed has not been divulged,. uutess the letters IC, C. to his nacre wag the reward, and the next thing was to get rid of Bowman and that must be done at the Convention. the officers of wbieh,were mostly in Wingham and favorable to throwing Sowmau overboard.
