In addition to thin we have shown that they have raised this ory for Protection Solely to distract the attention of the electors from the contemplation of their own previous misdeeds, and from the real good that thepresent Government have accompli -shed; that they would not give us Protection if they could, and that they could not if they would.

But, in doing so, let them remember that should the country be again disgreced by a second railway scandal, greeter and More heinous than the last; should large some be extracted from the public treasury and be expeuded under the guise of " Secret Service," and no ac- count of it rendered. to the people's re- presentatives, wail should railway cor- porations indebted to the Government be bled to death to assist ucetly politi- cians, on them, and. on them alone, will rest the responsibility.

He had no doubt on his mind what the opinion of the masses of the people is and what they would show it to be on the 17th. (Cheers.) He was glad to have had even this brief opportunity of visit- ing their prosperous looking town. It was more that sixteen yeare since he was in that part of the country, and he was glad. to ,see property so much im- proved. and. the signs of progress so man- ifest on every side. The growth and.

(Cheers.) That the Government would be sustamed by a majority of the representatives elected was not to be disputed. It was the mere matter of numbers, but of the fact that they would have a majority there was not the sb.adow of a doubt. He hoped the three Hurons would. add to the number by electing supporters of the Mi istry. (Applause.) 'The Liberal par y at the present time was more uni ed than at any time within his re- coil ction, and being so would enable them to accomplish anything they undertake in this country. (Cheers.)

The n.omination for the North Rid- ing of Huron was held in the village of Wingham on Tuesday last, Sept. 10th, and was marked by an unusually large attendance of the electors, considering the. unfavorable state of the weather, rain falling at intervals from morning until night., At 12 o'clock Mr. Thomas Holmes; the returning officer, appeared on the platform, and after making a few general. remarks, and reading the Writ ordering the election, called for norainations, when Thomas Farrow, Esq., of Bluevale, and Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, were respectively nominated as the Conservative and. Reform standard bearers. A.poll eves demauded on be- half of Messrs. Sloan and Farrow, and granted. The returning officer then announced the different polling, sections in the Riding, after which the assem- blage broke up for the time being. The nominations were held in accordance with the new act, which requires a can- didate. to be noneinated by at least 25 bona ficle ratepayers of the Riding, who are qualified to vote at Parliamentary elections ; seconder being required to the nomination.

Finally he skating rink building was procured and it was not long before it was thorou hly packed. There were between 1,00 an.d 1,500 in attendance, comprising a good quota from all sections of the Ri ing. After the meeting had been gone to order, Mr. Dixie Watson was app chair - /11M, the duties of which office he dis- charged with the utniost artiality, and. to the entire satisfactice of all pres- ent.
