MODONALn, the Liberal candidate in East Huron, oommenoes hie series of polibical meetings next Monday evening, starting at Bluevaie. Mr. Diokineon, or any one in his behalf, will be oordially welcomed and given an opportunity to speak. Ladies are also invited. WE asked the Wiugliam Advance to locate Mr. Dickinson on the Remedial School question so that the electors would know whether he waster or against coercion. The following "full and satis- factory" reply was given by that paper last week :"Mr. Dickinson has declared himself on the school question, and he is very much easier to be found than is Dr. Macdonald on the trade policy." It was because we heard he had "declared him- self" that see asked the question, as it is said he has ',declared himself" to be on both sides. East Huron eleotors don't want a "wobbler.", TWE Conservative platform orators and the press of the same party often boast that the N. P. is all right because the electors of this Dominion have repeatedly endorsed it. We say if the unfair gerry- mander were done away with and fair representation by population allowed ; if the iuiquitons, expensive and one sided Franchise Act with its partisan Revising Barristers were stricken off the Statute book ; if, as has been proven by investi- gation and in a few cases the perpetrators had to suffer imprisonment for their boodling and rascality, the many con - emote had been let to the lowest tender and the manufacturers' purse closed, the N. P. would long since have passed away. Even in the face of all these the popular verdict at the last election, as per the vote of the Dominion, was in favor of Liberal rule. Don't take our word for this nor the party opinion of the other side, but ascertain the full election returns, not by members elected, but by the aggregate vote polled for each party, and after care- fully studying these you will come to the conclusion that the high protective tariff is not the wish of the majority in the Do- minion of Canada. The interests of the farmer must supersede that of the manufacturer, and the 27th of June will usher in a new regime that will give the tillers of the soil a better show than they have been receiving for the past seven- teen years. Every farmer should read Mr. Pringle's interesting fetter on page 0 of this issue. Accoanino to Governmeut consul 0e• biome the populeticn 0f East Huron de. o1eaeed 2332 between 1.881 and 1801, and if the Agnree of the past five years could be given the serum doleful story of retro- greseton would•be unfolded. What lies the emigration oltioe in Old London ; the , high paid otiloials ; and emigration loo tnrora and boometers done in 'aiding our population ? Drawlag their salaries is about the sum total Of praotioal retinae. With the advantages thio Dominion offers to omigranba our population should be fourfold what it 10, Tins saddling of Huron County with au extra Judge, when our population does nob require it and an animal expenditure of e4,000 for his salary was 'a piece of barefaced imposition on Huronibee, more particularly so when it is said the 'ap- pointment was made as a reward for the vote given by the new Judge on the Coer• oion Bill in support of the Government,; who could not seely the suffrage of North Grey electors again. Has Huron. Go, thousands of dollars to throw away an- nually for the Bake of maintaining an office that the Proviuoial Government says ehould not exist, purely and simply because Sir Charles Tupper wanted to pay his debt to a gentleman who mis- represented his constituents ? "Bea Huron Liberals aro already be. coming disheartened. East Huron is lost to them.—Wingham Advance" It is very unkind of you, Mr. Advance, to give away secrets that have been entrust- ed to your keeping by the East Huron Liberals, but if by whistling you can keep your courage screwed up we won't object. The toboggan slide you'll strike on June 23rd will dispel any delusion you may now be laboring under. The Advance Bays "This will be the first election in East Huron in which the Conservatives have had an equal chance in the field" It was the Conservative Government that made East Huron "a safe Conservative Riding" ; it was the Conservative voters' list, prepared under the direction of their own Revising Barrister, that was used; the strongest candidates, in the persons of Thos. Farrow, ex -M. P., and Dr. Holmes, were in the field and yet thedoughty Lib- eral, Dr. McDonald, won the lath election by a majority of over 800. That kind of noneenieal talk, Mr. Advance, is a give away on yourself, Brace up and prepare for another defeat. Sm Onensxs Teeren's visit to Winnipeg and the mild, sugar coated sentences spoken by him did not go down to the hearts of many Conservatives who re- membered his overbearing and determin- ed coercion against the wishes of the Manitobans in the recent Parliament on the school question. Hugh John Mac- donald, even if he is a son of his father, and now a member of the Dominion Cabinet, can't win against Joseph Martin, the able representative of Winuipeg. Mr. Whitelaw, a prominent Conservative of that city, says, among many other things :—"Winnipeg people of all shades of politics are ever ready to bo courteous to illustrious visitors, and always abstain from any semblance of rowdyism, even to men wih whom they may differ poll. tics ll otherwise, This omnipresent courtesy or sy and ever -absent rowdyism Sir Charles and his colleague met with in Winnipeg, and not much more. I must warn people at a distance not to augur success from reports (highly colored in moat oases) of enthusiasm over Sir Chat - les Tem :or's reception in this city. It is not the noisy, excitable element on the snxfaes from which Conservative candi- dates in Manitoba have most to fear. The feeling against our Ottawa rulers for their conduct towards the Province daring the past two years 3s deep-rooted in the minds of the solid, thinldug citi- zena of the prairie Province, and party lines aro poworlese to bind it down. If it is silent in many instances, it is none the less sullen and determined. A few months ago, when an appeal was made to the electors of the Province by the Pro. vinoial Government, the vordiot was un, mistakable, and at the coming Dominion elections it will be equally so, If Sir Charles Tupper thinke he can merge the verdict of our electors with the egotistical sophistry and the empty promises with which he has entertained some and amused others of our Winnipeg citizens, he will be a sorely, (Reappointed man on the 24th of June next," EMT Liberal and independent elector in East Huron should look up the record of the past Dominion Government on a few points, viz. :—Have they been eco- nomical ? Is our National debt increas- ing ? Have they fulfilled their pledges ? Have they legislated in the interests of the farmer, the mechanic and the labor- ing man ? Have they added to the moral tone of bhie great Dominion by their actions in and out of Parliamenb ? Will the present leader's pledges on the Mani- toba school question tend to obliterate bigotry and strife between people of diff- erent creeds ? Is our population inereas. ing ? What did High Commissioner Tupper do for his 310,000 or 315,000 per year ? Have they had sufficient time to fulfil promises ? The above nine queries abound afford ample food for careful re- flection and as one after another of them has to be answered in the negative we feel assured the consensus of opinion will be such as is being echoed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, viz., that the Liberals will be handed over the reins of Government at the coming election, with the expecta- tion that the Dominion of Canada will take her place in the foremost rank among the nations of the world.

Every municipality was fully represented, and President McGillicuddy ecoupied the chair, M. 0. Cameron, the old member was nominated by J. T. Garrow, M. L. A , eeoondod by ex•Wardsu Girven. ' Mr. Cameron ac- ceded to the will of the convention, and. his statement that he would once more be the candidate was received with en. thusiasm, and addresses were made by Messrs. Pedley, McKenzie, Garrow, Gaunt, Griffin, Ferran, Stewart, Harry Morris and Thomas Sloan, after which the meeting adjourned with cheers for Oamerou, Laurier, Mowat and mho Queen, A LIFE LONG ocnenu YATIVE POE 1ADEIEE. An enthueiastlo meeting of Liberals was held Wednesday night at Halifax, at which the Liberal candidates Messrs. Russell and Keffe, and ethers spoke Jae. A. Chipman presided, He is head of the big flour firm of Ohipman & Go., and hitherto one of the Conservative's best workers at eleobione. In opening the meeting he said :—"Aa you are aware, I have been a lifs•long Conservative, and although my friend, Senator Powell, is pleased to refer to this 000a0ion as the baptism of my conversion, I may say I am not a convert of to•night,'but I have for years past revolved this question in my mind; the policy and statesmanship by which we are governed. During the. past tan years I have studied the quer. tion, are we on the road to prosperity or are we going backward ? On all previous elections I gave fall eapport to the Con- servative party. At the last election I took up my old interest in the party, but not with the, same hopefulness as ou former oeoeeione. I had compared the present protective policy of Canada with the policy of Great Britain and also that of the United States. While I oould see no limit to the prosperity of the mother oountry under the system of free trate, I detected signs of decay in the institu- tions memos the border under the pro- tective system on which I spoke in .the interests of the Conservative party. I sad that unless' there were remedial measures applied to the fiscal policy of the Government it won d be the last time I would speak in their defense. I watch- ed with nosmall degree of anxiety the development of that polioy, and when Mr. Foster brought down hie reform, tariff I said :—"Now is the opportunity of the Conservative Government,' When he finished hie budget and reform- ed his tariff I went to expound that tar- iff ih this city and eaon learned that the combines had their hands eo firmly upon 11 as to make reforms impossible. In stead of reform it was More pronounced proteotioo, and it ,vas then I felt I could no longer follow in bhe track of the Con- servative parby. Of course there are little things to be met with in making a break of this kind, and I found it difficult to sever myself entirely from the party I had been attached to for so many years ; but I felt, with a large number of sober- minded Conservatives, that the policy was leading to a policy of corruption, was robbingthe masses to enrich a few. It is true of Canada ae it is true of the States, that the men who forsakes hie party fs a marked man. This is unlike Great Britain, where, when the Govern. ment does not do right, the people tarn them oub. Here, however, a man seems to be under obligation to adhere to the party, to support it in its corruption. I migbt have remained in the retired po- sition of a elan who would sit still and watch the battle, but the affairs of last session of Parliament finished what had been began. When I saw the great autocrat of the people almost reaurreoted from the dead, speaking upon the plat- form, seize the coercion bill and under. take by fair means or foul to foree it up. on the people of Manitoba I decided not to sit still. Mr. Laurier distinguished himself for the honorable and able man. ner in which he handled tine great fines. tion. He was a Trench Roman Catholio who would do all and seek to do all that was in reason for his own people. Baab when be said :—"-Yon cannot by 005101on remedy the grievance, but must use con- oiliation," I say that Wilfrid Laurier stands to -day the noblest patriot Canada ever saw. When I read that great speech of bis the blood in my frame tingled in admiration of that great man. They say he is not honest. No man could face Parliament and the country with that speech and be false, I have nothing to say againbt those I am leaning, but I will any that one of the greatest blessings that could befall Canada ada and the Conserva- tive party would be to give them a °banes to wash the stains which have adhered to their garment during the past 13 years. There are many Conservatives throughout the Province who will poll a silent vote for patriotism and Laurier, Sir John Macdonald always frustrated Tupper's attempts to hoodoo luim, but Sir John's son is evidently nob so wise as hie father. It is just as well, perhaps, for Tupper to have confidence in himself and his campaign ; there'll be no one else pose. essed of such assurance. Sir Oliver Mowat on Saturday receiv- ed a cable message from his agent in London, England, stating that the Privy Council has given judgment in the case in which the Provincial Legislature's right to prohibit the importation, mauu. facture and sale of intoxicating liquor was called in question. The case Dame before the Privy Council as an appeal from the finding of the Supreme Court or Canada, the A.bborneyGeneral for On- tario being thearpalIaut, and the At. torne •General for the Dominion of Can. ada and the Distillers' and Brewers' Ae- sooiation of Ontario the respondents, The decision of the Supreme Court is now reversed and the contention of the appellant sustained. The message to Sir Oliver read as follows "Judgment for appellant, No ooate. Province had power to enact eighteenth section, but only operative till Canada Temperance Ant adopted. On questions one and two no abstract power in province to prohibit, but qualified power as for purposes of question seven. The Province imus power to prohibit. menu - feature. Four—Negative. Five and rix—No answer further than involved in above. Moet elaborate judgment, ex- amining and stating principles of eon. strootion of Confederation, mailing print of judgment. (eigd.) Feeshfield." This cable, as interpreted by the Attorney. General's Department, means that the Ontario Legislature has no power to pro- hibit the sale of liquors, either by whole• sale or retail, but that there was power to so prohibit by local option, and that the Legislature has nob the power to pro. Whit the importation, bub that it may prohibit the manufacture of epiritnoas, fermented or other intoxicating liquors, s "WA LDEMAR."

Dear Sir,—I was sick for five years. I WWI treated by six dootora. Anything I ate distressed me. I was reduced to a skeleton. The pain in my stemma] was intolerable. What I did eat came up as it went down. Life became a burden to me. I was told that I had cancer in the stomach and that it would take along time to ours me. Yon can well judge when told this that I concluded I could not be cured. I began to swell so muob "and not getting relief I thought my case hopeless. I was advieed not to eat for two week, this was unnecessary ae I could not eat anything, I was not in good shape to leave home in cold and stormy weather, but I had confidence in you- knowing so many oases that you oured in this neighborhood, among whom were some of my own friends. I got a friend to drive me to Goderich Last November. I could not rest till I was taken there. I remained five days at the Union Hotel, where they treated me kindly and well, till I got the fiannelharnees you made for me fitted on. I was taking your System Renovator, improved all the time, and the first bottle of E. A. MaLennan'eLina- ment relieved me greatly. I was free from all pain and eating well the day I left Goderiob. I was gaining daily. I continued till I took three bottles of the Renovator, and two of the Linament. I felt that I was oured and well long before I finished this, bub was anxious to gain strength and weight, which I have. I be. gan to work almost ae soon as I Dame, I have been well and feel as well since then as ever I did in my life. My confidence was nob misplaced. I tender you my sin- cere thanks, Yours truly, 48-2 Nem RonEursas.
