W. H. K.ER.R, Prop, RONIOOOSIIMOT 41.01101.911.110R0.1..1641•61,1 Death of M. 0. Cameron. Ilou. 101. C Cameron, Li u Lieutenant. Governor of the North 'West Territories, died at H o'olook Monday morning at th residence of his son-in-law Mayor Wil• eon, of London. 11is Honor had been suffering from heart and lung trouble for the past six weeks, hie illness obliging him to return from Regina, the capital of the North. met Territories. He Dame to London two weeks ago i0 the hope of regaining his health, but grew steadily weaker and was unoonsoboaa for 48 hours before the end oame. The sad news will be learned with general regret throughout the Do- minion, for Mr. Cameron had long been in the public eye. Ilia bereaved family at Goderiob will have widespread sym• pathy. Malcolm Colin Cameron was the son of the late Hon, Malcolm Cameron, for. merly a member of the Canadian Govern- ment, and a web known temperance advocate. He was born at Perth, Ont., on April 12th, 1831, and was educated at Knox College, Toronto. Like the major- ity of Canada's beet known legislators, he WAS a barrister, having been called to the bar is 1860, and for many years sure• easefully practiced his profession at Goderich. His first position as a repro. sentattve of the people was that of coun- cillor at Goderich, and afterwards ae Mayor. His political parser began over 80 years ago, and throughout he was a sturdy Liberal. "One of the fathers of Canadian politics, and one who bas upheld the banners of Liberalism in the darkest days of the party," said the Toronto Globe. He was a vigorous speaker and formidable in debate. He represented South Huron in the House of Commons from 1867 to 1882, and West Huron from 1882 to 1887. When contesting the latter con. stituenoy in February, 1892, he was de• feated bg Hon. Jno. 0. Patterson by a small majority, but was returned at an• other bye•eleotion in January 1896, and re-elected at the Dominion general elec. tion in the same year. On May 30111 of the present year he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the North-west Territories. The honor- able gentleman devoted himself with Ms usual zeal to the duties of his high posi- tion, and it was with regret that he felt compelled to return East. A few days ago he sent for an old friend, John Oameron, of the Advertiser, and in con - venation expressed his enthusiastic admiration of the North-west Territory, and his faith in its future as a great agri• cultural country. His honor was quite cheerful and apparently only alightly in. disposed. He had no premonition of the serious oonditiou into which he lapsed. He arranged for a formal interview with an Advertiser representative, in order to publish hie impreesione of the North- west, but became too ill a few days later to fulfil his intentions. Mr. Cameron was a Presbyterian in religion. He was married in May, 1855 to Jessie H., daughter of the late Dr. John McLean, of the royal navy, who survives, together with two eons and five daughters. The sons are M. G., barris• ter, of Goderich ; and Allan, a fruit grower in Florida. The daughters are ; Mre. John Galt, of Goderich ; Mre. (Dr.) John G. Wilson and Mre. Richard Bayly, of London ; and Misses Margaret and Grape, living at home. The remains were taken to Goderiob Monday afternoon and the funeral was held at 2.30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the family residence, "The Maples." CHURCH, CHIMES.
