SEVERAL MINISTERS GO DOWN WITH THE SLAIN. tog 'Liberal t;,tlns In Quetta, outnrle marl weer Provinces. rl.e Far West Also Aids in the over -turn oe the Conservatives. Every lover of his country may well feel proud of Canada after Tuesday's decisive defeat of a corrupt and imam - potent Administration. The rebuke to Tupper and Tu periam has come from every section of the Dominion. The recent occupants of the Treasury benches at Ottawa had almost come to regard the country as their private property. It was time for a change, and a change bhe people of Canada have decreed. In the battle, particulars of which ap. pear in other columns, many Ministers of the Crown have been unhorsed ; and we regret to say that more than one leading Ivan on the Liberal side has met defeat, but in several of these oases we hope the reverses will not prove to be more than 'temporary. The cities stood up for Liberalism and good Government in a marked manner in Tuesday's struggle. There were gains for the Liberals in Halifax, Hamilton, (two seats), Centre Toronto, Montreal (four seats), Ottawa, (two seats), King- ston, Quebec] city, (three seats), and Se. John's, N. B., .two seats. The sneering remark can no longer be made that the great centres of trade and commerce aro against the Liberal party. Nova Scotia, the home of the Tuppers, gave the elder Sir Charles bis answer. He totting that he would sweep it. The result is s, great Liberal victory. In 1891 there were 16 Conservatives and .5 Liberals in the Nova Scotia contingent. In the House which assembles at Ottawa on July 16th, there will be 18 Liberals and 7 Conservatives. We feel proud of the brethren by the sea. Hon. Mr. Fraser, Hon. Mr. Malsaae and Hon. Mr. Longley will prove able leaders from Nova Scotia, LIBERALS ELECTED. Bruce, North—Bonnar. Durham, West—Berth.

Oook-a-doodle-do-o-o-o 1. "St was a famous victory 1" Three Huron's still In line, The mandsment didn't work. 282 more votes polled in Last Huron than in 1891. The old flag and Hugh John's nose is about all that is left. Mr, Dickinson had majorities in Howick and Wingbam. The Conservatives rf+ceived election news at their Committee room. "While everyone else in the world is queer, there's nothing the matter with nal" The sun appears to rise and set about the sante as it did when Boss Tupper ruled. The grand old flag is the only thing left of the whole combination. Long may it wave 1 A few electors managed to bungle the marking of their ballots after all the in- struction'. Dr. McDonald's majority is 160 but it is not to be wondered at when Howick rose from 86 to 166. Morris township, that was said to be so solid for Dickinson, gave the Liberals a majority of 17. Some young lady should take pity on A. C. Dames, the popular Cranbrook bachelor, and marry him. "What's the matter with Grey 7" Grey's all right. We rather think so with a Majority of 244 for Dr. McDonald. Sir Charles Tupper will wish now that he had hung on to the High Com- missionership and the annual $10,000 salary. 'Laurier, Mowat and Victory." Mr. Dickinson said he could see Laurier and Mowat in the Globe's picture but not the victory. It's visible now. Mr. Ronald said he was still a Con- servative and polled his first Liberal vote on Tuesday because he considered he was voting for the cleanest party. But for the infamous gerrymander and the scoundrelly Franchise Act, Ontario's majority for Laurier would have been at least 25. But both will now be repealed in short order. Algoma will not vote till next week, but as it has invariably stood in with the Government of the day, and a Laurier administration being now certain, the Liberal candidate will doubtless bo elect- ed. Sir Oliver Mowe is entrance into the coming Dominion Administration will make °boo es in the Ontario Govern- ment, It is presumed that Hon. A. S. Hardy, as senior member of the Cabinet, will proceed to the Premiership. The Wingham contingent Wednesday evening were not slow to show their ap. preciation of what Grey township had done in their noble majority of 244 for their townsman. They also knew holy the 71 majority was secured in Wing. ham for Mr. Dickinson. For sale cheap ;—The Dominion Fran- chise Act, as the owners have no further use for it. Apply to Sir Charles Tupper. P. S.—Will also dispose of "the old policy" at a low rate and throw in the Manitoba Remedial Bill. Cause of sale, going out of business. The bicycle played a very prominent part in getting in the loot' election re- turns in this part of East Hurou. Mee- srs. Jno, Ferguson, Cameron, W. and D. Stewart, Armstrong, MCBo2u, James and Smillie were the cyclists, Jim. Hewitt and D. 0. Ross brought two reports with horse and buggy. When Sir Charles Tupper came over post haste to seize the reius of power for his family, organized the nest of traitors, aucl supplanted poor old Mackenzie Row- ell, he perhaps failed to take into account the fact that the people of Canada were looking up and sizing ep himself and the situation at the sante time. It is not likely that Mackenzie Rowell will shed many tears over the result of the elect tions. Eleotien of 1801 ; — Province.

And ie came to pees that in the sixth month and on the 28rd day of the month, that after eighteen years' wandering in the wilderness, they passed over the river .and entered the land of Promise, which is known as power. And on that day Leerier was magnified in the sight of all the Liberals, and they feared him as they had feared Blake, all the days of his life. The Liberals rented the Town Hall and received their reports there, a vary large and enthusiastic audicuee remain- ing until after midnight. While waiting returns the time was pleasantly whiled away with music on thobagpipes by Piper T.

Three bonfinee blazed and the Liberals were jubilant. A prominent "Grit" from Cranbrook and te Bressele ox•Aldermen also had a little procession, iu wbioli two flags were borne aloft. Fourth.

The Huron Expositor says :-Those who heard Sir James Grant, of Ottawa, address an audience in the operahall here a few weeks ago will be interested in knowing how he received hie title, if they do not already know. Dr. Grant was fortunate enough some years ago to attend the Princess lionise after a runaway ac- cident in Ottawa, in which the Princess got some of the beckon glass of the car- riage door in her ear, and, a000rdiug to the custom that gives any physician at- tending the person of a member of the royal family a title, Dr. Grant became Sir James Grant.
