The following resolution was
adopted at a recent meeting of the
Howiok Reform Association : To
Thomas Gibson, M. P. P.—Dear Sir,
It is with pleasure on this occasion
that we tender to you our hearty
thanks for the able manner in which
you have discussed the political quos •
tams of the day, but more particular-
ly are we imbued vith gratitude in
viewing your long and eucoessful
oareer as a politican, and your untir-
ing zeal in the discharge of your duty
to your constituents and the Province
to which you belong, hut while enjoy.
ing the local benefits derived from
your earnest efforts we would not
overlook the more important events
transpiring in the political amen,
namely, our Provincial autonomy.
Sir, your unswerving loyalty to our
Province, and support rendered to
Mr. Mowat in defence of Provinoial
rights, endears to you all truealiberal
Reformers, and ales to many of those
who differ from us in polities. As
long as you resist the disintegation
of our Province, and the confiscation
of our Provincial wealth by the Feder-
al Government, and attend to minor
&thee, so long sir, are NYS convinced
that you will hold a foremont place
in the esteem and oonfidenee of the
electors of East Huron. We, sir,
congratulate you on having a chief.
tain that has brought those vexed
questions to a successful issue, and
by the decieion of tbe highest mirk
m the realm, bas acquired for himself
the reputation of which the people of
this Province are justly proud.

Hay has been a drug in the market

Monday of week was a very

It may do that and it may not.
There is a large tract ef country to
be covered and a two or three
months visit is not going to enable
troops, even if a flying column, to
more than take merely a hur-
ried look at certain favored por-
tions of the country. Then the
appearance of military men is not
likely to soothe the feeling of unrest
possessed by certain Indian tribes
or dissatisfied Metis, rather more
likely to provoke another skirmish
or stir up old feuds. We have
every confidence in our soldier
boys and feel assured that they
will stand fire like veterans when
it is necessary, but this thing of
galloping from one end of the
country to another is not giving
them any show and in fact is only
adding to the large amount already
to be raised for paying the rebel-
lion losses and expenses, without
any practical benefit being derived.
The powers that ite do the dancing,
however, and the ratepayers pay

Tun first copies of the Revising
Barrister's Voters' List are out
and the 9th day of April is fixed
for holding the first sitting for the
preliminary revision before Judge
Doyle, in the Town Hall, Wing -
ham. 'We have been opposed to
this Franchise Bill all along, as
we consider it the cause of a large
and unnecessary expense when the
work of getting out the Voters'
Lists has been done so satisfactory
in the past. The publishing of
these new lists will add from $2,-
500 to $8,000 to our taxation in
Huron Co., to say nothing of wit-
ness fees ontlaries, &c., dee. There
are about 50 or more names on the
Brussels list alone that will be ap-
pealed against, and we presume it
will be much the same the County
over. We believe in ovary man
who has a right to vote having his
name on the list and being allowed
to exercise his franchise as seemeth
him good, but the idea of placing
names of boys of 18 or 19 years of
age on the list and putting on ex•
pense to have their names struck
off is not square. By the time
these lists aro through with and
the sum total of expense made
public we imagine the electorate
will say it is paying dear for the
whistle. Then this same thing
will have to bo gone through an-
nually and the lists are of no use
except for Dominion House elec-
tions, which are supposed to occur
once in five year.
