SEAFORTE FRIDAY, Sept. 25, _1874.
The Gatheritgtaf Coesservativee_
.A grand. gathering of the Conservatives
of °uteri° takes 1place in Toronto this
• week.. The object of this meeting,. :as
nearly as we can learn, is to devise and
decide apon a platform upon which tbe
Party can appeal `(a the country at the
approaching general election for the Local
Legisletare, and to eonsolid ate and. cement
the Party so that united action may be
secured. This is a good movement, and
,
we trust the objets sought may be at
tained. In the first place, rib' mattei
what party may be in 'power; or hew
honest they may he, the country is al-
ways benefited by pee watchful care .and
criticismofa lively and well organized
Oeposition. In -tbe second place, it is
always more agreeable for the party in
power to fight their opponents on scene
definite question 0, principle than to be
oompelled to refute and re -refute explo-
ded scandals and slanders. In the third
place, a victory gainec1 from a united,
well -organized and, consehdated party,
no matter how small, is a credit to the
victor; whereas, it is no honor for a
political party to btain a triumph over
a tatterdemalion et evd, under the name
of a party, without an acknowledge lead-
er, destitute of cohesion and barren of
principles. That flee Conservative Party
of Ontario need e reorganzation is , a
1.•
fact which mud be patent to all, that
they require a new politic 1 platform, ,
based upon some fiXed prinei Ides,is equal-)
ly obvious. For 'the past hree or four
years, the meMbere (If tha Party have,
been groping about i each fo himself, as
soldiers without a guide or ommanding
Officer. What was once a ighty and a
powerful party has!, within a few years,
dwindled down to an insig ificent cotes
of disorganized stragglers. It is, there-
fore, -high time that some st ps should be
taken to repair the fortune f this once
great Party, and to: resto e it to, at
least, a mederate degree of e eidncy and
usefulness, for we believe t at even the
Conservative Party of Onta io, if proper-
ly organized and officered, ight be use-
ful to the country. The .resent inef-
ficient and dila.pitated cora ition of the
?arty is due, in no: small d gree, to the
lack of competent leaders. , nfortunate-
ly for themselves, the Coniervatives of
Ontario have elevated to the leadership
of their Party men - who ar in no sense
competent for the position. Their pres-
ent leaders have neither the talent nor 1
the honesty to comma,nd the respect clue
to party leaderstiastead f grapplhag
with principles, they have resorted to
calumny, slander and det action, and
have endeavored by this me ns, to over-
throw their opponents. Insiead of pro-
pounding measures for the goverement
• of the country, and urging th
Legisleture and the 'people
to those produced. by their
they have quibbled Over trift

and upon these they, have f unded their
chargee of extravagance, wh* e they pass-
ed. over -unheeded and unel4.11enged the
large and really important expenditures
of the Government. Had they examined
into these, it is not at all likely that
they could have fouPd any irregularity
or extravagance which w uld. enable
- them to found. and'e sustai a charge
against the Government, but they
could not have been les successful
than •they have beets in, th ir research-
es among the picture and f rniture ac-
counts, and they woeld hav 'gained.; at
least, credit for a. desire to leek after the
interests of the country, insteael of the
unenviable reputation they now- possess
of being hungry office -seekers and noth-
ing more. The conclact of the Opposi-
tion leaders in- the Ontario Legislature,
view it in what light yoa may, has not
been that of statesmeo actuated by a de-
sire for the welfare of: the country, but,
'on the contrary, it has been the conduct
.of pettifoggers, actuated solely by a de -
Sire for personal aggrandizement and a
last for place and power. Such is the
character ancl condact of the present
leaders of the Opposition in the Ontario
Legislature, and, until the Conservatives
-of Ontario rid themselves of these lead-
ers, they need not expect their` Party to
be other than it now is, a broken and
scattered faction. These are facts
which every intelligent Conservative
must know and admit. •Instead, there-
fore, of straining every nerve to gain
office and power in. their present in -
e

on part of the Conservative ll'arty to

were let into power in Ontario, to-
morrow, they could not keep it, for
the eimple reason that th4- are destitute
of h4nest and competent leaders in whom
the eople could lace coalidence. Even
the lost faithful of their member have
nottenfidence in , their owlet leaders, and
I
how can they expect to inspire others
i T • •
Wit COnadenCe in them. leer is this
lack of confidence surprieing, when we,
consider who those leaclere are. Rykert,
Leader and Boultbee are, if we except
Mr., M. C. Cameron, the t,ole heads and
leaders' of the Party in Ontario, and ivhat
are hey? Men who have never attain-
ed t aey eminenee in the country,. who
are evoid of twee ordinary ability, ande
evil , in thein private transactions, are
far from being exemplary.They are
me whom, w -e venture t6 say, not one,
Ooi4servative.in fifty wouhl be willing to
tru t with the management :of his own
privtate affairs. Yet these are Ithe men
wh have been pitchfork d into
the leadership of what once" was a
lioN erful and respectable political Party,
and they are the men.into whose hands
some would even place the affairs of this
large and importent Preeince. Mr. 111,,
C. Ctameron is a gentleman of respeeta-
bility, of honor and of high Professional
i
and:k moral standing in the country, who
worrld be an. ornament to any political
party, and we are sarprised• that he
should haye thus long remained in the
company of such menas Itykert, Lauder
and Boultbee. But, as a party leader,
'
Mr.. Cameron is a failure. , He is too an-
tiquated and fossilized in his political
opinions. The country !has been pro-
gressing and moving onward at a rapid_
stride for the past 20 years, but Mr. M.
,
C. Cameron, in his Ipolitical ideas, has
. „
been at a. stand still. He longs for a re-
turn to the days of family compactism.,
and is surprised that sensible and. en-
lightened men can live uuchafed under a
I
responsible Goveratnent. It is, there-
fope, easily to be seen that a man hold-
ing such views, no matter what his other
qualifications may be, cannot be e,. suc-
cessful party leader. What the Con-
servative Party in Ontario want, then,
is new leaders, and, with new leaders,
a fixed and defined politibal policy, based
upen principles. ' Shou).d the present
,
gathering result, I even ultimately, ia
bringing about these required changes,
it skill have been eroductive of good, not

tlte Reforrct Party and to the country.
we
Hu
our Exeter Conservative contemporary,*
an4 he gives vent to his -feelings in two
Col MD.S of verbiage, the' only portion of
wh ch worthy of reply sec print below.
Aft r quoting our statement, " that a
por ion of the Coneervative Party were
des rous that the petition should be with-
dra n," our contemporary says:
We are i111 a position to give a most
ern batic contradiction to the above state-
meiit, and to denounce it as a- base and
fourialationless slander on the-Conserva-
tiv Party of the Riding."
:-
otwithstanding the 4ove contradic-
tiop and, denunciation, are repeat, most
postively, "that a portihn of the Cen-
ser\ ative Party were desirous that the
petition should be withdrawn," and if
our, contemporary does not know this to
be a fact, he is more iguoiant of the pro-
ceedings of the Conservative Party in
South Huron than -we-believe him to be.
Again, it is stated : •I
C. Cameron, either: personally or
through some agent, mad a proposal to
• some of the Bayfield. Conservatives that
they should. use their influence to have
• the protest withdrawn,aid that, if suc-
cessful, the Government grant. to Bay-
field, harbor would be increased from
$30,000 to 860,000."
We have authority for stating that the
above is unqualifiedly false in every par-
.
ticular. Mr. Cameron, either Personally

Another dispatch, dated. Sept. 21,
gives the following additional particu-
lars:
"No tidings have yet been received of
the whereabouts of Cleremont Daniels
or Henry Peabody, the partners in the
dry -goods firm of Daniels & Co. It is
believed that' they are in the United
States, and de not intend to come back.
Mr. Carroll, an American gentleman,
who lent there $550 in June, receiveda
note due in 60 days, OD the 13th of
August. He could not get a cent from
the firm, who put him off with promises.
He became very suspicious, and kept a
close watch upon their movements, un-
til he became satisfied they were secret-
ly making away with their goods, and.
accordingly be seized goods for the
am.ount of the debt, which was done on
Wednesday. On Saturday the clerks,
could not get -lie and as they have not
been paid any wages since A uguit, they
have authorized legal proceedings on
their behalf fot about $300. The assets
of the firm figure up, perhaps, to $600.
The goods were being packed. in boxes
on Wednesday. The clerks say that a
large amount of money was received by
• the firm. The principal sufferers they
think will be the agents in the couutay
parts, many 'of Aom ha,d such con-
lidence in the 'concern as to become per-
sonally responsible for the delivery of
the goods ordered through them. The
operations of this Company have bee n.sk ill -
fully conducted, and under such a cloak
of pretended honesty, as to make it im-
possible for the detectives or the Press
to make any 4irect accusations against
it. From the ininabers on tickets sold it
is plain the Company at the beginning of
August had receared over $35,000, and,
ai the game was then only in ils infancy,
their receipts by this time must be en-
ormous, and no goods seem to have been
delivered anywhere."

chell, arrived _here on Friday, in response
to a telegram from the city cletec ives,
desiring him to visit the county jail, and
settle a question of identity which had
perplexed the minds of .the detectives
somewhat. Mr. Hicks complied with
the request, and from amongst numerous
prisoners singled out the man who gave
the name of Charles Colenaan, and who
stole Conductor Delaney's money a few
nights since, as the person who hired a
livery horse from him on July 30 /est,
and forgot to return it up to the present.
Mr. Hicks says the prisoner's name is
Thomas 'Donovan, and that he ie one of
the men who was accused of complicity
in the Islellady murder case in Huron
County two or three years ago. Ho re-
• fused to tell Mt Hicks what disposition
he made of the horse, only deigning to
inform him that he made a good trade,
and got $40 to boot. Detective Murphy
arrested Donovan on the charge, and he
was remanded. for examination. On the
same day, Mr. John T. Hicks was walk-
ing on oue of the streets of London, and
to his great surprise, be identified his
lost horse in a passing team. The ser-
vices of a, detective were called into re-
quisition, and the horse was returned to
its owner..

- North Huron Fall Show.
The' annual fall show of the North
Huron Agricultural Society took place
at Blyth, on Thursday and .Friday last,
Tire weather on the first day was rather
wet and disagreeable, but on Friday it
was warm and pleasant. There was a
fair attendance of both spectators and
exhibitors. • 'The display in the hall was
somewhat scanty, although the excel-
lence of mealy of the articles exhibited
made up in some degree for the lack in,
quantity. The roots were few in num-
ber, but of fair quality. Vegetables
were good, Mr. John Copeland, of Clin-
ton, and Mr. Allan. Hobson, of liullett,
being the principal exhibitors in. this de-
partment. • Gram was in fair supply,
and. was of excellentquality; the oats
and wheat being especially good. Dairy
products were very meagerly represent-
ed, and the show of butter was rather
inferior, although there were some good
specimens. The display of fruit Wail
small, but the specimens shown were of
excellent appearance, there being some
very fine peaches andpears. The apples
were scarcely equal to last year. The
Upper flat of the hall was. mainly devot-
ed to ladies' work, ewing machines and
musical instruments. Ili ladies' work
there was a very Ince display. The dis-
play of home-made cloths and flannels
was very small. This. branch of domes-
tic industry seems to be much less at-
tended. to of late years than formerly,
which is no doubt caused by the,fact of
factory cloths being so easily and. cheap-
ly obtained. The Florence seeting ma-
chine, by Mr. 0. C. Willson, of Sea.ferth,
and the Wheeler & Wilson, by Mr., Ren -
nicks, of Clinton, were the only ma-
chines in operation. _ Some excellent
specimeus of work were done by both
machines, and the former was much ad. -
mired for its handsome appearance and
its smooth and noiseless werking.. Messrs.
Doherty & Menzies, of !Clinton, repre-
sented the musical instrument part of
theshow, and their corner attracted as
many ofthe spectators as any other
single d,epartment. .
In the field, the greatest attraction is
always the horse ring. The display of
horses was very good.' This was, per-
haps, the best department of the] exhibi-
tied. In the general purpose &ass of
brood mares and colts, the display was
large'and embraced some excellent ani -
male
both in mares and colts. 'In the
heavy draught classes, the display was
not so large, but the animale could
scarcely be surpassed, in appearance.
There was- quite a nunaber of Carriage
teams shown, but many of thein were
scarcely fit for the show ring. The same
may be said of the buggy horses. In. cat-
tle the display was not large, bet there
were many superior animals. Mr. Snell -
was the principal exhibitor in tharough-
breds, and some of his herd are real-
ly model animals.- There were also sev-
eral very fine grades, which werej, credit-
able t� their owners. There 'were t wo
or three very handsome looking_ Yokes of
.
oxen. Oxen, however, have pretty
much gone out of general use 'n our
County, and, having served thei time,
there is not much pains taken -to keep up
the quality of the stockCattle of this
class are now bred more with a view to
beef than to work, and it will pot be long
until a yoke of oxen will be looked upon
as a curiosity in this section. In sheep
there was a good display and many well-
bred and handsome animals.. The far-
mers of North Huron seem to be tnakieg
rapid progress in the improvement of
their sheep, arid from present .appear-
ances, the County will soon have as good.
a name for sheep aait has now for horses.
There were quite a nuMber sof well-bred
and iine-lookiug pigs, which were alike
creditable to their breeders and to the
show. The display ot agricialtu al im-
plements was not large, Mr: W. 11. Wile
son, of Brussels, and. Messrs. T omson
& Wiiliams, of Mitchell, being tie only
exhibitors in this department Mr.
Wilson had also on exhibitionahree large
I
bells, of his own manufacture, which ap-
peared to be of good sound, and in every
way equal to those manufact tred at
eager establishments. There was a
umber of handsome single and double
arriages and buggies, the workmanship
nd finish of which could_ not be Surpass-
(' by the best city establishment. The
ame remark will apply to a ver hand-
ome cutter for which an extra p ize was
warded. There were two ver - hand-
ornely finished. and eubstantial liuinber
agons—the one winch took the first
rize attracting general acliniratioin. The
ollowing is the list of suceessfel com-
etitors, to which we refer our 'readers
or further and more definite informa-
ion. :
