Godericia Political Management;
Tinder the caption of "Bad Ad-
vice," the Huron ,Signal attempts to
read us a lesson on the impropriety
cf creating discord aniong the -Refor-
mers of South Huron. This is all
very good. We are certainly obliged
ies the Signal for the trouble it has
taken in our behalf. We are in-
clined to think, hoWever; that did
it not fear that Goderich interests
would, materially Euffer, in more
ways than one, were the few , re-
marks we felt called upon to make,
in ceder to put the Reformers of
• Stuth, Huron on their guard, acted
• upon,..it woad not be quite so- solic-
itous- regarding the strength or weak-
ness of our "political backabotie."
In the article which has so visibly
stnred up the-bi1e4.of our Goderich
contemporary, we urged the Refor-
men of South Huron-. to , take
.prompt and immediate action to °re-
erganize the 'Reform party in the
Riding, and not tr.; wait until the
-etrings were pulled by thereanipu-
lators at Goderich. The Signal is
afraid the Reformers will act upon
this advice, and so it speaks out.
It knows well that tf the -conise in-
dicated by the ExeossToic were pur-
s-ued, the individual who now repre-
sents Godexicie and misrepresents
the South Riding of Huron in the
Dominion Parliament would stand
but a small chance of being the
choice of the Reform Party. For
this reason: it is anxious to keep all
things quiet untilthe last Moment, --
until the very eve of a general dee-
tiota—tha t the clique who are will-
ing at any time to play fast and
loose with the Conservatives, in or-
der that the interests of Godmich
may be served, may hare an oppor-
tonity of re-enacting the rOle which
they played so successfully.and se,
much to their own sattsfactima at the
late election. This is whet we are
desirous of preventing,. and this ia
-what eve shalt- prevent, if it lies in
mut power to db so,. even at the risk
of being twitted, with. a weak pot
litieal back -bone.".
We ane free to admit -with the
Signal that " the Reform party in our
Riding. is powerful enough to be vic-
tin iaus ouly when it is able," but if
it is only able to be victorious by
having for its standard-bearer and
eh a m pion. a. man in. whom a large
majority • of its members have
no confidence, then, we say, the-
• sootier it is reorganized, and a more
fie dttly state of things inaugurated
4t1ie better. If it is only able to be
victorious by having as its figure -
Read e person who has not Only Sold
ty, but his constituency as
eveloe, in meter to tenefit the town in
- which he- Yves) then we say it is in-.
finitely more creditable to submit to
an Lon° ruble defeat than to achieve
a dialionora'ele victory.. H the God-
etich people are so anxious to -keep
tile Reform party together 'merely
for the benefit- of that party, "why is
it that they so- pereistently trionopo
lize alT the honors achievable by_the
perty ? Why is it that for four
year there was tic t a single meeting
of the .Reforin Association of the
Seuth Riding called? The fresi-
tlen t and Secretary of the Associa-
tion, it seeme, reside in Goderich,
• and if they Were so anxious to.keep
tile party with a " united. front," ,
is it that a meeting of the party

EARLY WHEAT.—A bunch of
Deihl wheat was shown to us to -day,
grown on the farm of Mr. James
Hay, Waterdawn. 'It was taken
from a field of 11 4 acres. It is about
two feet six inchee high and already
swell heeided.1 It is a splendid
eample te produce so early in the
season. Mr. Hay informs us that
the wheat generally in the neighbor-
hood of Waterdown presents a
splendid appearance, and promises a
good yield when harvest time ar

At the time the Auditots finished
their report, Feb. 14, 1.71, there
were then but $36 of ulncolIected
taxes for the year 1870. 1 We said

Beattie writes that, owing . to, hard
times, and to favor the ople, the
Council did not urge the collection.
of taxes, and that the- county rate
was paid from the uncolle ted taxes
after collection. •There were but.
$62 on hand, and by the Auditors'
report, the $36' more of t ncollected
taxes could not make $ 10. We
theiefare say Mr. Beattie is guilty
of a, deliberate false state ent in his
letter. . :Furtherniore • t e
