The Result in Ontario. • The Ontario elections have now come and gone, and the result is one which must be alike gratifying to the Govern- ment and those who have supported it and advocated its claims upon the people: As will be seen by the list ewhich we publish elsewhere, 51 constitu- *elides have returned Government sup- porters, 35 have returned Oppositionists, and 21 Independents, thus leaving a dear majority for the Government of 16. • Of the members who composed the lateTar- liament 33 supporters of the Govern- ment have been re-elected, and only 12 of the Opposition. Of the new Members elected, 17 are avowed supporterof the Government, 23 are° Oppositionista, and 2 are Independents. Three of the new constituencies formed by the Redistribu- tion Act of last 'session have returned supporters of the Government, and three Oppositionists, Mr. Zykert, one of the leaders of the Oppositron, has been de- feated in his old constituency. Lincoln, by a large majority, and his place is 'taken by Mr. Neelr, aeupporter of the Government. Mr:. Crooks, the Treasurer, who opposed Mr. M: C. Cameron in East Toronto, has also been defeated by a majority of 207, and will have •to seek another constitueney. While we regret the defeat of Mr. Crooks, we are glad thet Mr. M. C Cameron has been elected a member of the new Parliament. He was, during the last Parliament, de- cidedly the meet able end respectable member on the Oppositien side, aoti, al- though as a party leader, he has made malty bluuders, yet his ability Mid ex- perience was frequently of service, aud had he been -deprived of a seat_ in the Parhaenent it would have been a loss to theyroyince. As for Mr. Rykert, none will regret his defeat The eeeent in- vestigation pleitily showed him to be not only dishonest but dishonorable, and it weulci have been a diagta,ce for a con- stitnency to: again return him, and his presence in the House would be an in- sult to respectable • and honest members. With the exception of the TrCaSiUrCT the memberof the Goverunient have been re -elected -Mr. t1owat by accla- mation, and his three colleagues by large majorities. - Although on the reassembling of Par- liament the Opposition will be, numeris cosily, stronger than it was durieg the last session of the Legislature, the Gov- ernment will still have a majority eeffici- •.; ently large to protect it from -factious opposition, aud to enable it to carryall s good and necieesaey legislation. This is all that is required, or that is desirable. The Opposition during the latter sessions - of the late Parliament was so weak as to be insigneficant, and none will eegeet that it has gamed in strength, and if -the legislation and conduct of the Government in the future accord with what it was in the past the Govermueut will have no cause for fear, no matter how strong the Opposition may be. And, while we ad- mit that the Opposittm has made a slight numerical gam, we cannot concede that that gain is due to deelMing' eonfi- &tree in the Government, but eather to a desire on the part of some, who, well satisfied with thepast conduct of the Gov- ernment, still desired a more active and efficient Opensition. One of the stock cries of Opposition electioneerets during the late campaign was that the Govern-. ment wae•too strong, and that it wae de- sirable to have a stronger Opposition. This was a feasible, and, in some meas- ure, a correet ery. For, while the Gov- ernment was strong, the Opposition was most miserably weak. But the Govern- ment did not abase its strength, 'and even had it been inclined to do so, its follow- ers were not so subservient as to allow it, consequently the strength of the Gov- ernment and the weakness of the Oppo- sition did not operate agaiest the inter- ests of the country. The cry, however, although only partially correct, was a very good one to gain sympathy, and was, we fully believe, mere instrumental . than anything else in securing to the Op- position party its slight gains in the gen- eral contest which took place on Mon - ‘day last. We do not, therefore, be- grudge the members of that party the modicum of comfort which the slight _gams it has received will afford them. The majority ef the Government ie suf- Aliciently large to show that it possesses the confidence of the country, and that its legislation and general management s been appreciated by a large majority of the people. This is all that any. Re- former need desire, and it is a result of -which the Government May feel proud, and which should stimulate and. encour- be on -the alert, sect to hivti their work- . age it to increased well -doing in the ing organizations completed at once. The future. 111111111.111111:21.1.1111 Tne Result m Huron. While we are pleased that Huron has returned three . Reform members, we cannot say that there is Muth cauae for entire satisfaeeion with •the result, ES v so far as South and Eaet Hi.uon are concerned. We donut believe that any Person ever seriously thought that. either Mr. Bishop or Mr. Gibson would be defeated, and ehe pein.ciPal object was to make. the majorities of these gentle - as lenge as -possible,- - it is, therefore, with the small majorities by which they have been elected that we are not. eietis- contest will be a close .one, and it will only ie by hard, unceasing work that the Reformers Call expect to be success- ful. We would say to them, therefore, " be tip and doina." 111111111111111111111111111111=111111111111•111ii The -Figures. The following are. the. official returns from the several polling places in each of the three Ridings of Huron: • SOUTH HURON. .

In East Huron, considering the . .No. 3 charecEer of his opponent, Mr. Gibson No. 4 should have 'been elected by at least two hundred and fifty of a majority. There were a sufficient number of Reform votes left unpolled ia ehe Riding to give him. this majority. Notwithstanding the fact that his opponent is a, eh aracterless adven- turer, and a person of little or no ability, Stanley he received the ahnoet unanimous vote of the party which brought him forward. Had the Reform party, who ha(l. a can- didate in °Very way worthy of their sup- port and confidence, given to him that united and unauimous support whieli the Censervetives gave to their candidate Mr. •Gibson's majority would be con- sidera,bly larger than it is. But, al - thigh Mr, Gribsen's niajority is not as large as it should be, yet we 1 ve just cause for rejoieing that the Rie u has escaped the disgrace of being rept es4.nted by a man of the character and c libre of Mr. Van Norman. In South Huron the same 1 thargy and indifference characterized th course of the Reform party at the last lection as at the previous one. In this Riding there is a Reform majority of abOut 300, and notwithstanding this fact Mr Bishop has beenreturned by a majority of only 78. This, certai inly, s not much to the credit of the Reform party of South Huron. Their candidate was, in every respect, superior to his opponent, and et -ill almost every available Conservative vete in the Riding was polled, while in the tol RShip of Tuekersmith 'slm ie - I 1 there ' re over 100_11eform votes unre- cerded, land in Seaforth, throueh the same . . indifference on one side, and energy on the other, a Reform majority was con- verted into a minority. This is not as it should be, and we trust this is the last time we shall require to deplore the lax- ity of the Reform -party of South Huron. In West Huron a hard. battle has been fought, and a splendid victory won. This constituency has generally been considered to be Conservative, and the- .• fact of Mr. Ross' return by e majority of 92 is Proof that the Reformers have done their duty Trebly.
