The Conservative Candidates.
The Conservatives of South Huron,
to the number of about two hundred,
met at Brucefield, on Thursday of hist
week, for the purpose of uominating
candidates for the Commons and Local
Legislature. The convention reeulted
in the nomination. of Mr. R. Porter, of
the -village of Kirktori, in the toevuship
• of 'Osborne, as the candidate for the
Commons, and Mr. George Jackson, of
Egmondville, for the Local Legislature,
The nominee for the Commons was at
one time a school teacher, but now fol-
lows the occupation of farnaer. He is
said to be a fluent speaker, to be well
posted on politica questions, and a
most uncompromising party man. Fur-
ther them this, he has nothing to recom-
mend him to the electors, arid is little
- known outside of the immediate neigh-
borhood where he has lived for „several
years. The nomination' for the Loma
ist a much more judicious one: Mr.
jacksou is au old resident of the coun-
ty, is well known to many of the elec-
tore of South Huron, and is, withal, an
• intelligent, clever man. He is probably
its strong a candidate as ceuld be
• brought forward in the Conservative
interest. lie has a hard road before
him to travel. however, as he is on the,
wrong aide of the fence toreceive much
sympathy, in a political .sense, from the
electors of South Huron. They are a
reading, thinking 'people. They know
full well what the Ontario Government
has done in the interests of the country,
and they will take good care that they
will not send Mr. jaelceon or any other
ream to Parliament to vote to tern them:
out ofoffice, that they may be replaced
by a sot of wormout-fotiails of the Mac-
dougall-Camerou startup. We are sorry
• for Mr. Jackson, as he is almost too geed
a man to be saerifieed.
At a convention heId in Nerth,Huron
a few days ago, Mr. Thomas Farrow,
tnie present representative, wag again
nominated: Mr. Farrow may be the
strangest carelidate, but we are sure
there are many Conservatives in North
Huron much more competent than he
to fill the, position creditably. So far
there have not been, any ncrainatione
'made for the Centre Riding. We hear,
however, that Mr, Christopher Crabb,
-
of Goderiela is anxious to measure
swords once more with Mr. Horton.
We hope he may no choeen, as the
honor of being a candidate would be
sufficient to gratify his niordinate van-
ity, Were he to he elected he would go
dean crazy, and we know cif no con-
stituency where he could secure the
hortor he covets with less danger aa to
the final reault.
The Eastern. Question.
The daily despatches are so very con-
tradietery that it is impossible to ar-
rive at o: correct or positive conClusion
respecting the condition of affairs be-
tween England and Russia. It is evi-
dent, however, that the breach is con-
tinually widening, and it now seems
as if all hope of a settlement without
resorting to arms ie att am end.
Negotiations aro Still going on, but it is
more than suspected that these aro be-
ing ceutieued by Russia merely to gain
time to ccireplete her arraugements.
She is making strenuous etforte to secure
friendly relaticms witli neu h trite with
view no doubt to secure her absolute
neutrality if she cau not get her salve
aid. Thus far she has been unsuccess-
ful, lent there is little doubt that con-
eesaions -will be made which wilt satisfy
Austria and secure her neutrality and
sympathy. So soon as this is accom-
plished, Russia will set England at de -
*Dame and the struggle will commence.
The Russiom people seem anxious for n
war, and are urging the authorities to t
order the removal of the British fleet t
from the Bosphorus. In England. the ; s
most active preperationsare being made. • 1

that, as a result of this vigilance the

that the society will receive valuable
