The Reform Candidate for Oen
tre Huron.
As will be seen by the proceed
ingeof the Centre Huron .Reform
Convention, reported. eleewhere, Mr.
Horace Horton, of Goderich, has
a been unanimously chbsen as the can-
didate in the interest of the Reform
party in Centre ,Huron. This choice
is a pod one. Altho gh Mr. Hor-
ton? has not, heretofore taken a very
prominent part in the public affairs
of the country, yet he is believed, by
those who have known him for yeats,
to be a thoroughly honest and reli-
able man. He _is a life-long Re=
former, and has, in his own quiet
way, done good service in the Re-
form ranks. Ifi is not, by any
'means, an aspirant for political
honors, but has on the present oc-
casion., comet for ward in compliance
with the most urgent solicitations
from many of the oldest and leading
Reformers of the Riding. In his
own: town, where he has resided for
over thirty years, he is held in the
higheat esteem. He has been unan-
imously elected, year after year,
for many years, to the position of
Deputy Reeve, and he now filis, to
his own credit and to the unbounded
satisfaction of his constituents, the
home -able, and responsible office of
Mayor, to which he VMS elevated by
the unanimous vote of the people.
It is not probable that Mr. Hole
ton will have any opposition. Now
that Mr. iWhitehead has retired;
and as, we believe, the nomination
of Mr. TOMS was only a joke, it is
not likely that another person can
be got with courage sufficient to face
certain defeat, merely for the sake'
of giving opposition. Notwith-:
ata,nding this, however, we would
• urge upen the friends of Mr. Hor-
ton to keep their 'eyes open and
watch the movements of their op-
ponents. Victoey is never certain
until it is achieved.. Although the
Reformers of Centre Huron are sure
Of victory, they must not be caught
napping, lest they may be overtaken
unawares by the enemy.

South Huron nectiog.
Dining the past week wb have
made diligent enquiry froM repreeen
tative men of both sides of politics
.as to the prospeets of the respective
candidates in South Huron. From
theee enquiries we have come to the
conclusion that the prospects, of the
Government candidate are by no
means bright. We are led ;to be-
lieve that Mr. Cameron will be re-
turned by a handsome majority.
The friends of Mr. Greenway, from
whatever teason we know not, seeni
to have lost that ;dogged persever-
_ ance and ceaseless industry• which
have characterized their conduct in
former political_ struggles. _Many of
the oldest and MOS& staunch sUpport-
ers of the party, are, apparently, in-
clined to rest leisurelY on their oars,
and allow 'their nominee to shift
-for himself, seemingly indifferent
whether he sinks or swims. What
the cause of this is, we are not now,4
prepared to say, but that such is the
case there is no doubt. . If, there-
fore, the friends of Mr. ..Cameron
exert themselvesr and work energet-
ically and unceasingly we honestly
`believe they can place him trim--
phaatly at the head of the poll on,
election claya • That they will use
this exertion we have little d, onbt.
In times not long gone ey, as our
.reader e \veil know, we fouled it to
eteabe our duty, as honest and conscien-
tious joarnalists, to use the lash on
Mr. Cameron pretty sharply and un-
sparingly. The task was an exceed-
ingly repugnant and unpleasant one,
but we shrank not from it. Neither
shall we ROW shrink from the duty
of directing the electors of South -
Huron to vote and work to secure his
return. We have before pretty
freely and fully explained our rea-
sons for chastising him. We shalt
now give our reasons for supporting
him., We believe, and we have en-
deavored in our humble way, time
and again, to prove to our readers, ie.
that the Government which at the n b
present day rules our Dominion is
corrupt. They have squandered
large sums of otni herd -earned money
to buy and bribe support to keep
them in -power. They have rushed
h.eadlong _into large undertakings
which. the resources of our young
country will not allow them to ful-
fil, merely that thev might have in-
..
creased patron

people's repres

count. of how,

go placed at their
hie& to. corrupt the
ntatives. They have
erge sum of the pub -
refuse to give an ac=
where or when, one
that money has been
spent. They ave again and ag
violated the co stitution of our co
tam and keep intiebt, in order
til

rages perpetrat d upon . us by our
Government ii duce les to believe
*that it will b a blessing to the
-country if by any means they can
be removed from the positions of
trust they Ilya so shamefully
abused. Beli4irig this, it ie our
dutY and the duty .of every man
Who thinks as e do On this point.,
to use his best xerrionslo strength-
en, , by every onest means, the
hands of those who are zealously
laboring to acc mplish this ohject.
Mr. Green.way has been brought
out in the inter sts of this Govern-
ment. He Wil vote confidence in
them and suppiert their measures.
Mr. Greenwdy 'nor his friends will
not deep thie. On,the other hand,
Mr. Cameron, although he does not
take the bokl toed decided stand
against the Goevninent which be
should take, and _which we would
like to see himitake, and although
he has not in th.e past upposetithem
as detertnineclly and persistettly as
he ehould have diene, yet we believe,
that if be shoul be elected, he will
vote want of con dence in them, and
will be much le s likely to folioW;
them blindly, an wink at their Lula!
-deeds than a representative who is
elected' to support them. For this
reason, :we supplert Mr. Cameron,
and for this reas a we ask the elest-
.
ors of ,Southlin on to support him
and wOrk earnest y to secure his elec-
tion.
-So far as the andidates are per
sonally coacerne , there is but little
choice. They at both men of res-
pectability, and are ooth quitecom

tage. This, co Mined with the
other reasons we have given, niakes
a choice between Mr. Cameron and
Mr. Greenway, e-eceedingly easy.
It will then he la sgely to the credit

HowNV,e Should. 'Vote.
The foilow'ng calm, yet dignified
and sensible article on the. duty of
exercising th franchise is TrOln the
Montreal .11 raid, and deserves the
careful consideration of every voter
in the Dominion. Let the reader,
as he goes from line to line of the
article, carry his memory and corn -
mon sense along with, him, and, if
this is done, sire cannot, see how any
sensible:man can vote, for any can-
didate who eupports the Ottawa
Government. They have blundered
in every one of their public meas-
ures, and have corrupted every de-
partment un4er their control:
"There areat eledions many cou-
fficting currents of opinion and af-
fection which

under our system of

uage, as every one is

e conduct of the Min-
t should be the real
object of every vote given. To
elect Ministeria.1 candidates is to ap-
prove of the Ministry, and to per-
petuate their systern_ef Government.
We •clo not Mille from ourselves the
fact that the e are persons, who,
here, as in ot ier countries, admire
the-, Walpolia method, and who
make the idea that every man must

ture hopes, th basis of all Govern-

used to retain the Ministry. in office
for ten years. But, apart from that,
is there any sensible man Nvho can
understand why, except to improve
the property of Dr. Tupper, the
country should have expended
millions in extening the rails to
points which can already, before the
In tercolonial is completed, be reach-
ed more rapidly via the Grand
Trualc and the North American and
Euroran routes, to say 110 -
thing of the still shorter lines
shortly to be built by the way of
Riviere du Loup and Sherbrooke?
When it is remembered that- these
roads have been or will be provided
funs private and local resources,
what are we to think of the policy
of a Governmeet which will squan-
der millions from the Dominion
Treasury upon a less useful road?
The various events attending the
constitution of the Province of Mani-
toba ; the bribing of New Brunswick
by increasing the subsidies fixed by
the Confederation -A ct at the expense
of the other Provinces, and the con-

Treaty, are subjects which we leave
no w'with ou t comment."
CENTRE HURON REFORM CONVENTION
Iffr. liTornee liorton the Nominee of
the Convention.
The Reform Convention held at
Seaforth, on Wednesday last,. was
largely attended. Every mtinicipal-
ity in the Riding was fullT repre-
sented by properly appointed dee-
gates. The proceedings were rnost
harmonious throughout, and all the
delegates seemed detecnin.ed to lay
aside all personal or sectional. con-
siderations and unite heartily, its one
man, in behalf of the common cause,
dear alike to all. After a sarntiny
of credentials being made, *the fol-
lowing delegates were called to their

The conduct of Ar. TiThitehead at
the Convention o Wednesday last
was suph as •shot ld entitle him to
the respect and es eem of every true
Reformer. Alth ugh we are among
those who. believ that. Mr. White-
head is not no% nor ever was,
qualified for a Pa liamentary repre-
sentative, yet we believe that white
he .ocppied tha position, he dis-
charged the dutie devolving upon
- him eonicientious y and to the best
ot his. abitity. nat he has com-
mitted errors we dmit, but we be-
lieve that they w re errors of the
head and not ofth e heart. In sub-
mitting his claims to the Conven-
tion, and in cheerfully agreeing to
abide by thedecisi n of that Conven-
tion, he has given nmistakeable evi-
dence, that he ha noteas has been
freely imputed. to I fin, been coquets
ting with the oppo ents of his party,
and that he is not desirous of caus-
ing a breach la. tile _ranks of that
party. He,. has iroven that he is
still true to those who have _before
reposed confidenc in him.° We
hear it hinted tha • Mr. Whitehead
will even yet con st this constitu-
ency. We do not ielieve a' veerd of
it. Mr. Whiteh d pledged his
word that he woul abide by the de--
cision of the Conve time, and that if s'ax
he shotild not be he choice of the
Convention he wou d withdraw from •elcu
the field. We be ieve Mr. White- Asa
head to be an ho ora.ble man, and
a man of his word - and:that those
who make statem nts such as we
have alluded to are eilty of slander-
,

The influence f such enactices is
wide, deep and universal. Unfor-
tunately, it is c. lculated to secure a
•a certain sort of admiration as well
aa -imitation, so that we have seen
the man who was denounced some
years ago by our present Premier
aud all his pate.,y as the Canadian
Walpole, and ;IS being steeped to the
lips in corruption—we have seen him
welcomed to the Cabinet cf his de-
nouncer and placed in a'position to
repeat his evil radices in a larger
,
sphere and with broader experience.

like the late unfortunate Mr, Zim-
merman, who was always ready to
provide him with the means of elector-

with hired applause of his financial

After the delegates had taken their
seats, the President, Mr. Sinclair,
stated the object of the meeting.
He also announced that Mr. White-
head, whose address as: a candidate
had beeu issued to the electors, had
been invited by him to place his
claims upon the constituency before
the Convention, and allow that
body to consider them as they though t
proper.
-
Mr. Whitehead, wise was present,
explained that he had not received
Mr. Sinclair's notification and that he
had not heard of a Convention going
to be held until Satuladay evening
last. He consequently had not
time to prepare, an address. He
stated, however, ' very' plainly, his
position. He -had supported the Re--
form party steadily except on two
occasions. On these occasionS he
had voted against a majority; of his
party, because by so voting he con-
scientiously believed he was right.
He was perfectly willing to place
himself in the hands of the Convert,-
. .
tion. "If the paety to which he be-
longed did not desire his services,'
hedid not desire to force himself
upon them. In view -of his past con-
duct, however, he thought he should
receive the nomination'. of the Con-
vention, but if the delegates present
thought differently he was prepared
-to bow to their decision.
M. Malcom, of Seaftrth, irea few
eulogistic and well-chosen rematki.
proposed M. kerace! Horton, of
Goderich. Mr. Afalcona said he had
known. Mr. Horton for Many- years,
-, .
and he never kne-'\y him to De other
than a consistent, lon.est Reformer.
He had supported both by his in-
fluence and in other vicays the various
Reform canilidates who, in times
past, had carried to victory the Re-
form. banner in this Couaty. From
an acquaintance with 'llr. Horton,
extending -over a long period of years,
he could recommend him to the Con-
vention, and to the electms, as a .
person in every respect well fitted to
be their representative. .
Mr. William Young, of Colborne,
seconded Mr. Horton'sii orninetialai,
and in doing so heard, y endorsed
the high character given 4im by Mr.
1
,Malcom. I
Mr. -Thomas &radian, of Grey,
proposed Mr. J. S. Sinclair, of God-
erich. Mr. Spence, of Grey, second-
ed this nomination.
LIE Thompson, of Goderich, sec-
onded by Mr. Horton, proposed Mr.
Joseph Whitehead.
There being no further nomina-
tions, Messrs. Horbon and Siuclair
addressed the electors at consider-
able length, explaining their views
on a few of the public questions of
the day.
Upon a vote being taken between
the three candidates, Messrs. Horton
and Sinclair were the two highest.
Mr. Whitehead was accordingly
dropped, and on a vote being taken
between the former two, Mr. Hort-
on received the highest number, and
was accordingly declared the notni-
nee of the Convention. A resolu-
tion was afterwards put making Mr.
Hoaton's nomination unanimous.
The candidates each thanked their
friends who had supported them,
and counseled immediate and united
ection to secure Mr. Horton's elec-
tion. After the transaction of some
further business the Convention ad-
jourded.
