James and Jim. T. Strachan were here from Toronto to poll their votes on Monday. D. McDonald, our postmaster, is improving in health and wo hope he will soon be as hearty as ever. Last Sunday evening Robert Shaw took the service in Victoria Hall. Rev. W. J. West, of Bleevale, is ex- pected to preach next Sabbath. A telephone to Jamestown from Brussels would be a great convenience and as the line is up for Zia miles of the distauce it would not cost very much to complete it. It is a subject that should be discussed at a .public meet- ing in the Hall here. Ordinary Underwear is not warm enough for a farmer. Working about the farm -out all day in the cold -ho must be warmer than regular weight Underwear can keep him. Stanfield's Unshrinkable Underwear is made in special weights for fanners.

Bryans and Tames Pearson were among the loyal many who carne house to poll their votes last Monday. The many friends of W. J.

But alas the tide turns sometimes even among the faithful and when only a few miles out on his run and doing some switching at Virden the brain that he was to meet came dash- ingdown the hill and did some con- siderable damage to Willie's train also to both locomotives. After a few hours delay "Willie like a man" was found not to be at fault and was td - lowed to proceed on his journey. May the old saying "A bad beginning snakes a good end" come trno in his case. JOSEPFI RAYNARD PASSED AWAY.-. Last. Friday at noon Joseph Raynard, 'an old resident of Grey, paid Nature's debt.

A, helm succeeded this year in growing two crops of potatoes. The last one was planted in the middle of August. John Mooney. of Brussels, was holi- daying in Cranbrook last week renew- ing old friendships. The West seems to have agreed with liim and we are glad to see him back. Last Monday two pioneers, in the persons of Robert Locking, whose age is 97 years, and Tames Knight, who Is 94, were at the poll recording their votes for Liberalism. Much excitement was exhibited here over the election. Cranbrook polling division gave Mr. Hislop a majority of 28. Archie olid well to pulydown the majority. Cranbrook looks quote fresh in a new coat of paint. Many in the town have buildings paintedincluding school house, Manse, post -office, Oharlie Seele's and John Hunter's residences. John Knight, after mutt patience, has succeeded in growing a bushel of potatoes from the seed, this pxocoss taking three years. The old gentles man is to be complimented upon his experiment. 1Ie gave these potatoes to those who wanted to try them.

SIR WILFRID LAURIER STiLL AT THE HELM. U A Liberal Majority of 50. Many Changes in the Person- nel of the House. Only one Member of the Cabinet Defeated, No Change In the Hurons. Last Monday was an eventful day in the history of the Dominion of Canada for on it was fought out the destinies of the political parties for the coming Parliamentary term. The campaign, although comparative- ly short, was a lively one and all along the line the Opposition speakers and press put up a very vigorous scandal program but in the face of the great success of the Government in the management of public affairs the on- slaught does not appear to have been taken at all seriously by the country. There was very little apprehension on the port of the Government as to what the outcome would be and the result of the polls well justifies their belief as Sir Wilfrid will have a major- ity between 50 and 55 with every Cabinet Minister re-elected excepting Hon. Mr. Templeman of British Col- umbia whose defeat is said to be due to local causes. A seat may be found for him if he is desirous of retaining the portfolio of Inland Revenue. While there were gains and losses to both parties the results are much the same as for the past 4 years. Few, if any changes will be made in the personnel of to Cabinet. Hon. Mr. Murphy will of course succeed the veteran Hon. Mr. Scott as Secretary of State and probably McKenzie King, who swept North Waterloo, will be appointed Minister of Labor. The public works such as the Grand Truck Pacific railway, Hudson Bay railway, improvements to canals, &c. will be pushed along and the various com- missions in connection with the rail- ways, telegraph and telephone systems will continue to perform their func- tions in the same business -like man- ner. Enquiries Swill no doubt be con- tinued relative to certain rumors, voiced by Opposition members in the House, and Justice meted out to all concerned. Quebec Province stands staunchly by the Premier both personally and politically. Sir Wilfrid received a majority of 2,100 in Quebec East and his supporters in the Province number 51 to 12 Conservatives. Ontario fig- ures in the aggregate remainunchang- ecl although. very direful prophecies were very emphatically pronounced as to a great Liberal slump that was go- ing to take place aucl the returns for the Dominion are the best aocl most practical certificate of character that the Government could hope to be ac- corded. It settles the frothy and vehement onslaught that was to work such havoc when the free and indepen- dent elector's were permitted to speak. If the Conservatives are satisfied with the verdict the Liberals will not likely do much complaining as the latter have good reason to take the victory as a vindication of the work they have been engaged in for the past 12 years. It was always understood it would be a big pull to discount elle majority of 181 of last election and neither party figured on the results as they showed on Monday. ArliExt THE BALLOT BATTLE. 7 elections to be held yet. Parliament will meet on Jan. 6tli, Continue to write Dr. Chisholm M. P. Premier Whitney has nothing to say, Now let Senate reform go on to a finish. Tolmie, in Nortel Bruce, has over 800 majority. 50 is not a bad majority for a government. It looks quite a bit as if Toronto was Conservative. Hon. Mr. Stratton was elected for West Peterboro. A few protests and recounts are talk- ed of but may end in talk. About 70 new M. P's. will take their seats in the next Parliament. The offlcialreturxs for East Huron will be given next week in THE PosT. Iron. Mr. Tomplemau, Minister of inland Revenue, was defeated by 5 votes. Hon. Mr. Oliver, Minister of In- terior, has a majority of 2,200 in Ed- monton. Report from the "Soo" says W. R. Smyth, Conservative, is elected over Mr. Dyinent. Every Cabinet Minister was return- ed except one a ciroumstance not often paralleled. Several enthusiastic Conservatives went to Wingham Monday night to the Chisholm Jubilee. Both Sir ilfrid Laurier and Mr. Border, leader of the Opposition, were each elected for two seats. "Billy" Bennett bit off more than be could chew when he ran up against Manley Chew in East Simooe. The weather and. roads were splen- did for the recent campaign and the meetings were largely attended. The Toronto News received a very black eye over the election. Its so called independence has run its race. Mr. King's victory in Waterloo is one of the marked features of the elec- tion. He will be the new Minister of Labor. It is said Mr. Mar'eil may be the next Styte,ker ofof the Sout Rouse Perth,nthe Mr. Dep Deputy Speaker. Barrister Sinclair read the returns at the Town Hall and Barrister Mon- teith rendered shnilar service for the Conservative gathering. Messrs. Bennett, Fowler, Pope and Lefurgy, so prominent in the so called scandal talk in the House. will remain at home for the next four years. A company of small fry organized an impromptu tin can band and parad- ed the streets for a while to the amusement of more than the kids. New Brunswick is a bitter pill fax the Opposition to swallow, 11 Liberals and only 2 Conservatives, a gain of 3 over last election. Nova Scotia will help even it. The scandal charges of the Opposi- tiou should be sifted to the bottom and if guilt is found the parties inter- ested should get their walking ticket short off. Constable Oliver wisely restrained the bonfire feature as there were too many leaves on the streets to run any risk. One fire was allowed to burn on Turnberry street for a time. While addressing the crowd on the street at Wingham, from a buggy, Monday night, Dr. Chisholm, M. P., was struck in the head by a stone thrown by a woman, Fortunately he will suffer no serious injury. The telegraphic returns were well looked after by James Fox and his staff. This a tiresome job to sit for hours at the business end of to tele- graph wire. Prompt delivery by the messenger boys was a feature. Amoug some of the surprises was the defeat of Peter McKenzie, the stalwart Liberal of South Bruce, and Alex. McLaren, the well Icnowu cheese dealer, of Stratford, who represented. North Perth on the Oonservative side of the House for the past 12 years. Dr. Rankin, of Stratford, carried the s eat. Monday evening election returns were received by the Conservatives in the W. 0. T. U. rooms and by the Liberals in to Town Hall. The in- ability to gain East Huron rather chilled the hurrah business for the Liberals and the reports from the Dominion did not bring much joy to the Conservatives so that the jubila- tion was not excessive. Stratford went wild Monday night when it was learned that Dr. J. P. Rankin, the Liberal candidate for North Perth, was elected by a sin majority over A. F. MacLaren. r1. monster procession was organized and Dr. Rankin ryas escorted through the city. The horses were taken out of the carriage, and the successful candi- date was drawn through the streets by his ardent admirers. The victor is an extremely popular one an its r Wroxeter Mrs. R.
