Trent Dominion Franchise Aot and the Plebiscite will not be dealt with at this session of Parliament bat will be laid over until the next meeting of the House. The chief reason is the enforced obeenee of—Premier Laariee at the Queen's Jubilee in Englnne, Aaa[sxia ehe Iudiie have—Milled loudly for help during the past: year and their cry has not been unheeded. A new competitor now appears on the scene in the person of Cnba, who is suffering from the ravages of war, iusurreetion and their accompanying troubles and is on the verge of starvation. PALMY afternoon of uext week, 18th inst., a Patron Convention will be held in 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. ism, so successfully championed in this riding by Thos. Gibson, ef. P. P., con- tinued for many a dey to Dome. now East Huron Looks to Outsiders. been the hero of many vietories, and En ; hie twenty-seven years of parliamentary service Ise has only met with one defeat, and that was at his first election, But i the mistake which the electors then moan they never subeegnently repeated. We I can nob wish better for his successor than 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 BRUSSELS POST ;3«'?t"m'oe'gy43hl^1F,P?.'"731w"7r8'1�".'SSLS#f"�.q+DRUID'6Y5Cerutl .'�i➢7ut.F.Rma 'u*.

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 May.
