PALMY afternoon of uext week, 18th

Brussels Town Hall to see about
nominating a candidata to contest East
Huron in the next election for the Local
Legislature. The names of probable
candidates are Messrs. Jno. R. Govenloak,
President of the Co. Association, Winters
and Pritchard.
Qom a number of Conservative jour-
nals are weeping sorely that the did not
secure the nomination for East Huron,
and above board ory with e. loud voice
that the strongest man was turned down,
the. Don't weep, brethren, but dry your
eyes and look happy, if possible, as we
have a well defined notion that there le
more of a political dodge in your new
fouud sympathy than any particular
interest in our welfare. Our head is not
sore, neither is our heart heavy over the
matter and we have no other expectation
than to aid iu carrying out the wishes of
the recent Convention iu securing the
election 01 Mr. Elielop, the nominee, with
a rousing, good tnejority. We esteem
true sympathy very highly, but don't
care much for that sample from the
teeth out. East Huron is all right and
we expect to see the long reign of Liberal.

been the hero of many vietories, and En ;
hie twenty-seven years of parliamentary

and that was at his first election, But i
the mistake which the electors then moan
they never subeegnently repeated. We I

that he may be permitted to follow in his
footebepe.
Wiugham Ailvauee, (Conservative) :—
.A. Convention of the Liberals of the Dasb
].tiding of Huron was held at Brussels on
Friday last, and resulted in Aroli. Ilielop
being brought out et the candidate to
sacoecd Thomas Gibson, 111, P. P.
Whether he sacoeeds him or not remains
for the elecbors bo say. Before the Cou-
veution it was assorted that Mr. Hislop
had no show of being chosen, that the
choice lay between Thomas Strnohan, of
Grey, and W. II. Kerr, of Tux Bnrssuf,s
Posr. Tho serious rivalry between these
two would-be'a, however, threatened the
peace of the Liberal camp, some of Korr's
friends vowing veugeauco if Sheehan
were selected, and Strachau'e friends
declaring Chat the party woald be better
without said friends of Kerr's. Strach-
an's supporters, fluffing they could not
get the nomination for their favorite and
being anxious to boat Kerr, swung their
strength to the side of Ilielop, who beab
Herr by 124 to 04. Will the choice Con•
servatives should not complain. lir.
Hislop, so far as we know, is a straight,
forward, honorable young man, but wo
don't think he is as strong as either
Strachan or Kerr. However, Mr. Stea-
cban was looked upon as too old, while
DLr, lierr's connection with Feu. Scott
and the spoils gang rendered his oaude-
dature objectionable to some of his party.
Everything considered, however, Herr
wonicl bare put up the strougest fight,
and Conservatives have no reason to be
disheartened over bbs result of the Con-
vention.
London Advertiser, (Liberal) :—Tho
retirement of Thos. Gibson, M. P. P.,
from the representation of East Huron
ends a most important epoch in bhe his.
tory of that Riding. Mr. Gibson bas been
in public life for 40 of the 42 years that
he has been te resident of the County, and
he could remain member ae long as he
lived, if ho chose, hot in his old age he
seeks that rest from turmoil to which be
is entitled, and so he stands aside, His
successor will be Archibald Hislop, e,
representative farmer of Grey township,
and a respected member of Iha'on County
Council, who was nominated by the Lib-
erals of the Riding at their recent Con-
vention. leer. Hislop is in every sense
qualified to represent the Riding in the
Legislature.
Clinton New Era, (Liberal) :—At the
Convention of Liberals in East Huron,
lust Friday, Archie Hislop, of Grey, was
obosen as the standard bearer for the
coming local election. He is a young
man of unquestioned ability, well inform
od, a good speaker, and will make a first-
class representative. Be was the choice
of the Ceavbntion on the first ballot, aucl
the nomination was made unanimous on
the motion of Mr. Kerr, who was Mr.
Hielop's only opponent in. the Canyon.
tion. It is not yet known who will be
his opponent, the names of several Con.
servatives being informally mentioned,
but we do nob think a man can be put in
the field who oan defeat him if the Re-
formers only do their duty.
Clinton News -Record, (Conservative) :
The Conservatives of Last heron never
had a better chance to redeem the Rid-
ing.
The following paragraphs, clipped from
various newspapers, have reference to the
East priding of llurun and we give them
without note or comment as they speak
for themselves :—
Seaforth Sun (Conservative) says :—
Mr. Hislop is a brainy young man, full of
push, energy and thrift and is by all odds
the strongest candidate in the Liberal
ranks and fa a pretty sure winner. To
use au Americanism—"We'd gamble ou
him, anyway" We know of only one
Conservative who would be in the race
with him at all and that man is Thomas
E. Hays, who, as it is reported, was
anchored out of the riding in '84. With a
Conservative candidate out of the field,
the Patrons might have a fighting chance
by consolidating their forces and planing
J'obu R. Govenloak, of hfoKillop, in the
contest as their candidate. It is their
only chance, and it reinains to be seen
whether they will tackle the job in that
shape or no.
Atwood Bee, (Independent) Sorry
yyou dict not get the nomination, friend
}i err. They probably decided that one
editor M. I'. P., and two lawyer M. P's.
were about as many representativee from
the profeseione] ranks as the farmers can
tolerate.
Huron Expositor, (Liberal) '—It does
not frequeutly occur that a political Con-
vention of any party has to decide be-
tween two such eligible candidates as did
the Liberals of East Huron at their Con-
vention on Friday last, when they had to
make choice between Archibald Hislop,
of Grey, and W. H. Kerr, of Brussels.
They aro both men of ability, of experi-
ence 115 public lif e, of unblemished ohm-
meter, and possessing in a high degree the
qualities that make popular parliament-
ary candidates and useful reprosenta.
tives. The choice, however, linallyrested
npnn Mr. IIilup Thin was not to be
wondered at under the cirenmstaueee.
Mr. Hislop is a practical, every -day farm-
er ; the constituency is almost exclusive-
ly an agricultural one, and three-fourths
of the delegates at the Convention were
farmers. It is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that other thinge being so
equal, the Convention Omelet give their
choice to one of their own calling, How-
ever, Mr, Kerr is a man who is bound to
keep to the front, end if his political
aspirations continue Ito trill got there yet,
if he but bides his time, llad he been ma
farnierinetond of a newspaper man, he
would in all probability have come out on
top this time. Mr. Ilrelop is a candidate
of whom the Liberals of Eget Huron may
wen feel proud. They can rally around
bine with every confidante: that he will
never do them disercedib. Ile is a clever
young man who is not only tt success in
the calling of his choice, but is well eclu.
dated, well read, and is a good pnblio
speaker. Ile will make in every respect
a most worthy successor to the veteran
representative who has served rho riding
so faithfully and so crediteehly for the
pall quarter of a century, and if hs retires
with ea ereditablo a record as Thomas
Gibson, hie friends and his constituents
Will have no room for. fatilb.finding. Mr.
Gibson, of nurse, declined to be again a
candidate. The Liberals of East tltsron
seemed loathe to part with him, and had
be been desirous for re -nomination he
would -shunt certainly have been the
unanimous ohoiee of the' Convention. He
hes, however, concluded a long, useful
and honorable political career. Ile has

The financial year of the Presbyterian
church closed on April 30th. There has
been considerable anxiety over all the
funds bemuse of the financial depression.
The worst fears have been disappointed.
The general agent of the thumb, Rev.
Dr. Warden, reports the following funds
well out of debt :—Noma Missions, Aug-
mentation, French Evangelisation, Wid-
ows and Orphans, Assembly and Mon.
treat College. The deficit of 930,000 re•
ported in the Foreign Mission Fund was
reduced to 910,000, and the Knox oburoh
deficit to less than $500. There is a
prospect of having the Foreign Mission-
ary debt entirely removed before the
General Assembly meets, A special
effort will be made to meet the deficit in
the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund,
and when the returns are all in from
alumni and Mende of Knox College its
deficit will also be wiped out. This re-
port will be reoaived with thankfulness
in all parts of the church, and the re-
sponse should enable the treasurer to
report to the General Assembly every
fond out of debt. ---The Westminster for
