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.
