We are glad to hear the most encouraging accounts from Di. Sloan's canvass. He is growing in favor among the electors every day, and although at one time we feared his chances of sue- cess were not the most encouraging,. we have now the beat ieasous to hope that' he will be elected by at least a fair ma- jority. Centre Huron.. At a Conservative Convention held Seaforth on Wednesday last it was at length determined to put a candidate in the field. Mr. Samuel Platt, of Goderich, was the - unanimous nominee of the Convention. We do not know much about Mr. Platt, but we preeume he will do as well as any person -else. We do not be- lieve, however, that he will go. to the polls. By the time he pursues his can- vass for a couple of weeks he will -be sick enough to give .up. If be doesn't thea he has a better political' constitu- tion than we think he hat.
