A Barefaced Lie,
The following item appeared in last
week's Brussole Herald under the head-
ing of "Robbed of his seat,' and is
denominated by Robt. Armes) oug, the
Returning 011iccr referred to, as all
infamous llo :—"Some 16 years ago T. E.
hays was supposed to have been elected
for East Huron. Tho rebornfrg officer,
however, declared his oppo•lont, Hon.
Mr. Gibson, elected, Mr. hays asked
for a re•oouot, hub was unable to make
personal &Irvine on the reburuing officer,
who kept out of the way. Now the lat.
ter has had some trouble with hie party
and has made confession that it was he,
and not the electors, who gave Mr. Gib.
sou the seat. Mr. Hays has the confes-
sion direct from the returning o lioer and
has oommieted the exoot words to writing,
Suoh a diabolical outrage is deserving of
the severest condemnation, at shows
how n00000Rry it is in the coming eleob•
ions for Conservative 'mutineers not
only to watch the ballot bozos, bite to got
the returns al every poll algae(' by the
deputy roturniug officers.—Mitaholl
Advocate."
We don't wonder at the Mitchell
Advocate publishing n "thumper" like
the above, but certainly bho Herald
should have made some enqui,'y before
reproducing such en outlandielh yarn.
Itis nob to be doubted that in "supposi-
tion" alone was Mr. Hays ever nearer
than 41 of being elected member for Beet
Huron, Mr. Armstrong says that he
has not spoken or written to Mr, Hays
for 13 years, except that he may have
said "Good clay," to him, either on poli.
tics or anything else, nor to anybody else
as agent for the aforesaid gentleman.
So when the Advocate says Dir. Hays
has the confession direct from the Re.
turning Officer, &o., it simply utters a
deliberate falsehood, which it may have
an opportunity of establishing.
Neither Mr. Armstrong nor the Liber-
als were afraid of a recount, and the
record is against tbo probability of any
change, had there boon one, except to
increase the majority. In 27 years only
two MJ?,P 's have been counted in, ;vfz. :
Mr. Striker, of Prince Edward Co„ and
Mr. Awrey, of Weutworbb, fu each ease
the majority Was under 10. Oerteinly
lot the scrutineers watch out ; that's
part of thole bne1n080 there, and when
anything crooked is done that is the time
to sing out, bub nob before. Ea+ib Huron
Liberals don't have to adopt anything but
fair, above board meaus to carry the
Riding, and it is time the Conservative
press knew thio.
Miss Willard's Death.
Miss Frances E. Willard, the prod -
dent of the Wo Ida and National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
who has been suffering from an attack
of influenza with gastrio oomplioatione,
died shortly after midnight on Thursday
Feb. 17111, at the Hotel Empire, New
York.
Ab the bedside of Mies Willard at the
time of her death were her niece, Mrs.
W. W. Baldwin, Mrs. L. M. M. Stevens,
vioe•preeident of the W. 0. T. U. ; Mies
Anna M. Gordon, who was Mies Willard's
secretary, and Dr. Alfred E. Hill. Mies
Willard had been ill for about three
weeke, She had the hest medioal Dare
and treatmenb that could be given, but in
spite of all efforts she grew gradually
worse until her demise.
Dr. Hill made the following statement :
—"Mies Willard had suffered some years
with profaned anemia, and on several
0001113 101311 had been given up to die. Last
Summer she seemed to take a new lease
of life, and gained considerably in weight
and strength, so that ebe went through
her conventional work at Toronto and
Buffalo, which was arduous, and oame
out muoh better than was expand. On
her arrival here five weeks ago she was
muoh prostrated and readily teak on la
grippe, which attached the itemaob,
liver, intestines, and later the nervone
system. The deceased progressed favor-
ably, and in many respects she had im.
proved when the fatal issue o.tme and
overwhelmed the nerve centres, and life
was extinct. There Wag 110 cancerous
degeneration of any organ, as had been
stet ed."
There were funeral 'services in New
York city, and one later fn Evanston,
Mies Willard's home, where the remain0
were taken.
A despatch from Obinago says ; Al-
though the fatal termination of Miss
Willard'& nine was not entirely unex-
pected in Evaoston, it 11120 nevertheless
an ietense shoot to het friends when
they heard of it.
Raab Cottage," where Mise Willard
made her home, Was always kept reedy
for her return. The souvenirs of her
work and the many articles of botsehold
furniture made dear by immolation were
Cherished with great Dare, and her room
wag kept in constant readiness for an
unexpected return.
During the early morning hours cable-
grams, telegrams and menages of oon-
dolenae continued to pour in at the Hotel
Empire, where Frances Willard lay dead,
