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."
