SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, it ov.
bondage to partyaand not daring to ut-
ter a sentiment that has not previously
been uttered by their leaders, the Con-
servative journals cannot understand
how loyalty to party and independenee
can mast in one being. There are few
in -stances on.irecord u here Conservative
.joturnals have been known to express
sentiments in any respect at variance
w th those held and expressed: by their
party leatleis. 'While, on the other
hand, Reform journals only accord with
their leaders Where they can show them
tsq be correct. In other woi'ds, the Con-
servative prees,—the rank and file, lie
mean,—await the signal of their captain,
and, when this is- given, they march as
be marches, and they follow wherever.

Reform Meeting.
We have been requested by Mr. Rob-
ert Brown, President of the South Hu-
ron Reform Association, to state that a
meeting of Reformers will be held at
Brucefield, on Tuesday next, Nov. 10, at
12 o'clock, M. The meeting will be
public, so far as Members of the Reform
Party nre concerned. As matters of the
first importance to the Party will be con-
sidered, it is to be hoped that the meet -
Mg will be very largely attended,. The
- present is a convenieut season for far-
mers to leave their duties on the farm
for a day, and we trust that none who
can by any possibility avoid it will be
absent. There should be a large repre-
sentation from every township in the
Riding. All who are interested in the
progress and welfare of the Reform cause
are cordially invited:
Conservative Convention.
A Convention of the Conservatives of
South Huron was held at Brucefield on
Monday last. The'ebject of the conven-
tion was -to select -a -Candidate to oppose
Mr. Cameron. We believe that Mr.
Greenway was again asked to contest the
constituency, but, he declined the honor.
In refusing to again Waste his time and
energies in a bootless contest, Mr. G reen-
way certainly showed his good sense.
After Mr. Greenway, Mr. John Carling
was- approached, but he, too, was proof
against all overtures. As a final resort,
, Mr. Wharton Hodgson., of Exeter, was
made the nominee: We believe that Mr.
Hodgson has taken a week to consider
the matter. Should he refuse, it is hard.
to say who the ''next man" will be. We
await with some curiosity: the result of
. Mr. Hodgson's deliberations, and with:
hold comment as to his qualificetions fair
the position of a parliamentary repre
sentative until he gives his decision.
Independent Journalism.
No person accustomed to perusing the
politicalpressof this country can fail to
be impressed with the vast difference
which is exhibited in the tone of the
journals oo each political side. This
difference is not so marked in the city ae
in the local press, although in the for-
mer the same difference does exist, but
not to so great a degree. The independ-
ence of utterance of the Reform prese
stands out in marked contrast to the
servile zeal for party advancement and
fealty to party dictatorship exhibited to
COnservative journals. Taking the Re-
form press as a whole, each journal
seems to speak and think for itself, and.
gives utterance to its sentiments on pub-
lic questione an open, independent
way, entirely irre.speetive of what po-
litical leaders or leading political jour-
nals may say or think. On the other
hand, the Conservative press adhere
strictly to the one track, and never vary
from the well-worn paths in which their
political leaders and superiors see •fit to
tread. No better example could be giv-
en to prove the truth of this statement
than the course now being pursued. by
the local Reform press on cert4n po-
litical questions. Take, for insta,nce,
the questions of free trade and prote-
tion, and the proposed Reciprocity
Treaty-. Ou these questions the leading -
Reformers of thecountry and. the lead-
ing political journals are favorable ,to
free erode and the -proposed, Reciprocity
Treaty, but many of the Reform journals
throughout the country are epposed to
both, -and are not afraid- to give expres-
sion to opposite views in opposition to
their -political leaders. But, on these
questions, in what 'position do we find
the Conservative press? The leaders of
the party, no doubt conscieetiously, op-
pose them. They instructed their
chief organ to follow the same course,
and no- sooner does it sound the firet note
of oppesition, than every Conservative
journal in the country forms into line,
and cries amen to the utterances of their
leaders. Not one. word of dissent is
heard,—aIl speak as with one voice, in
like manner as the leading Conservative
• !
organ has spoken'. Again, on the ques-
tions of an Ele4ive Senate. Minority
Representation, Extension of the Fran-
ehise and Compulsory. Voting. The
Globe, which is the leading Reform jour-
nal, has repeatedly expressed. itS aver- ;
sion to these Reforms. But, does the
J.
:
Iare led. When he denounces a public
-measure ler the act of a public Man, they
denounce, and. when he commends - they
commend.. The Reform press recognize no
{ leader. They judge publicmen and pub-
lic measures upon their merits, and ex-
press themselves upon these in accord-
ance with their honest colivictions.
Sometimes they agree and sometimes
,
they disagree, but ae is always the base
with independent and ' unbiased discus-
sion, public sentiment will, ere long, de-.
ciCe which is right and which is wrong:
1 The course of the former may be the
I better for the interests of pal ty, but we
are sure that it is not for the interests of
the country. Tile interests of a country
haive no safeguard equal to an independ-
ent and Outspoken press. Where each ‘
journal of a particular party is allowed
to speak independently and on its own
judgment, unbiased and untramelled by
the dictatorship - of .party leaders, the
public have a double guin-antee that the
interests which they entrusted to that
i
party will be properly and honestly ad-.
minieterede They have the guarantee of
good faith a the party itself, and they
have in addition the guarantee that the
1 ,
actions. of that party are closely watched
and scrutinized by the independent press
connected with the party, which are
equally interested with the public in the
proper admimetration of public affairs.
We claim that- the Reform press do ex-
ercise this, independent -superviSion over
the acts of the leaders of the party to
:
iwhich they belong, and, consequently,
; the public' have at the present time this
1
double check over those who are now M
power in this 'Dominion. Whereas, on
the other side, the servility -of the Con-
servative journalto their party leaders
renders this impossible. With them,
their partY can lo no wrong. At least,
,
if wrong is do e, they dare not, or
will not expose i , for fear of injuring
their party. In ependence of thought
is not allowed, o at least, if allowed, is
not practiced. "he result is, that the
Conservative pre sof this country is no
guide to the public. Its lack of inde-
pendence of party leaders, renders it
valueless, except merely as a reflex of
the sentiments of 'these leaders, and an
engine for the promotion of party inter-
ests and arms, irrespective of the comid.
eration as to whether those interests and
aims are or are not in accordance with
the interests of the public generally.
The conspicuous independence of the
Reform press is a matter for congratula-
tion, and should be encouraged, %%Idle
the! equally conapicuous servility of the
Conservative journals is to be deplored,
-
and an attempt should be made by the
meMbers of that party to rouse them
from the hendage in which they now
exist, and to inspire them With a higher
conception of the dignity of tbeir calling
and, the importanee of their mission:
The Be, eld Harbor.
\few weeks a o we directed attention
to the base -less and unfoundpd -state-
ments which were then being Ovulated
by the Opposition Press enerit the Bay-
field harbor works. It was averred by
tiler journals that the appropriation for
improvements " on the Bayfield harbor
.would not be expended ; that Mr. Cam-
eron and Mr. Mackenzie, in order to
punish the people because the 11Liberal
ConServative Party" had refused t8 with-
,
draw the petition against Mr. Cameron,
had conspired to role the constituency of
the amount which had been appropriated
by :Parliament ler these improvements,
and so on. At that time we flatly con-
tradicted these statements of the 01)1)0,-
1- r
sitioriPress, and howed their absurdity.
We also stated the correct reason why,
the time for receiving tenders for' the
haler works had been postponed. We
nowl give additional proof of the falsity
of the assertions tif our opponents and
the eorrecthess Of our own statements.
By reference to our advertising columns,
it will be seen that- the improved plans
for the harbor svorks are now ready for
inspection, and 'that tenders for the
work are asked for. As we ha,ve already
-
stated, the harlASe improvements will be
proceeded with *Si speedily as it is possi-.
1
ble to do so, and every farthing of the
money granted. by Parliament will be
faithfully and honestly expended on the
works. We now ask any unprejudiced -
great mass of the Reform journals fall in reader to say, in view of the false state
with the Globe and denounce the meas- roents which were so positively put for-
ures aIso ? Not a bit of it. Many of ward by the Opposition Press on this
them go in direct opposition to the Globe matter, what reliance can hereafter be !
on these questions, and speak out plain- placed on their utterances ? The plain
ly and. boldly in their defence. And, fact of the matter is,- that the great bulk
because these journals dare to express of the Charges preferred against the Lo
-
opinions of their own, they are sneered cal and -Dominion Governments are as life
at by their Conservative contemporaries, foundationless, and as maliciously false,
and. are accused of being renegades to
their party. Having been so long in
•
credit of the County. We trust the Con-
sei votive papers .in Huron will, ioW
that they :must sec .f hey shave been
ought, make clue amends to those they
have slandered, by retracting the'
charge. As -for the leading -organ in
'circentlie, we do not anticipate anything
O honorable from it.' Its daily ocs
, upatiim is the concocting of false
I
Charges, and when they[ are proven to be
1
else, instead of honorably retracting—
i
xcept when forcecl to by threats of
,
prosecution—it abandons them, and pro-
ceeds to the manufacture and spreading
of new charges, equally as false and
foundationless as those it has so ignom-
iniously abandoned. Frain such a quar-
ter we need not look for honoi•able con
duct Isut from our own local Conserva-
tive journals we do expect better thrgs.

The United States el ctions took place

utter rout of the Repu llcan party. A
prominent Republican journal says :
" From all parts of the country, where

of the defeat and demo alization of the
Republican forces: N such sweeping

THE MARKETS.
!SEAFOBTH, Nov. 5, 1874.
Owing to the pontinued tine weather,
business on the -Market has been -some-
what dull for the past few weeks, farm-

fall work done up to haul in their grain..
There is not much change in quotations.
Wheat remains firm. at old prices, with
no immediate prospect of a rise.' Barley
is still in good demandaand commands a
good price. Oats and peas sell well, and
prices remain firm. Butter is still scarce
and in great demand. Pork has com-
menced to collie in in small quantities,
but there is yetIno regular market, al-
though we give i.tbe prevailing quota-
tion. Hay is still in good demand, and
will readily bring quoted prices. We
