North Huron.
' The contest. in the North Riding is
being waged with great vigor by both
• parties. 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.

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
