SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, June 23,1882
The Result at Home.
Although the recent contefit in this
county has not resulted eel favorably for
the Reform cause as we bad heped for,
yet we have not much reason for com-
plaint. Notwithstanding the Gerry-
mandering we have held our own, and
politically the county now occupies the
. same relative position that it did in the
old Parliament. In South Huron there
never was any doubt as to the result.
Indeed it was always censidered that to
bring out a Conservative trandidate
would be simply a waste of time and
effort. The result has amply proven
the correctness of this contention. Al-
.
though the Conservatives placed a good_
man in the field, and fonght for him
bravely, they never had any hope of
securing hia election. The best they
expected to do was to reduce the Re-
form majority. The contest, therefore,
was keener than those not engaged in it
would naturally suppose, judging from
the complexion of the constituency.
The result has proven a most decided
victory for the Reform cause, as the
majority for the Reform candidate has
0
been largely increased. In the absence
of- correct returns from the various
poIlingarlaneS, which it has been im-
possible thus far to obtain, we cannot
give the exact majority recorded for
Mr. McMillan, but we are safe in say-
ing that it 'still. not be less than 650.
Mr. Horton's majority in 1878 was 371,
and Mr. Cartwright's majority in the
same year was 401, so that the majority
in this election has been nearly doubled.
On this result we beg to congratulate
our friends in the South Riding. They
have done their duty nobly, and they
haver just cause to feel proud of the re-
sult. They have chosen as their rep-
resentative a man from among them-
selves, --a self-made man, and a pioneer
of the county, and he will do them
credit in the high and honorable posi-
tion in which they. have placed him.
As already stated, we have not the cor-
rect returns, but the followiug major-
ities from the several mnecipalities
will be found to be pretty nearly cor-
rect. Mr. McMillarns naajorities are
given as follows: Settforth, 10; Tack-
ersmith, 214 ; Hay, 201; Stanley, not
known; Hullett, • 225; .MeKillop,
Mr. Shannon received a majority of 29
in the village of Bayfield.
In West Huron there has been a hot
close and Severe struggle. Mr. Camer-
on went into the contest with the odds
greatly against him, but with a deter
ululation to win. Throughout 'the en
tire contest the result was doubtful,
^public opinion varying alternately from
one side to the other, and neither party
were at any time confident of victory.
The result, however, although in sorcie
respects dieappointing, is, on the whole,
satisfactory. Mr. Cameron. has been
elected by a majority of about 23. Some
of the municipalities did not do so well
for hira as was eepected, while others
did much better, but this is the case in
every. contest. Our friends in the
neighboring to-wn of Clinton deserve
special credit for the comparatively
large and unexpected majority they
rolled tip for Mr. Cameron, while too
much calnot be said. in behalf of the
good men and true of Ashfield. Al-
though the majority is small it is am-
ple, and. under the circumstaaices our
friends in the West are to be congratu-
lated upon the splendid fight they
made and non the victory they
achieved.
We must confess some degree of dis-
appointment ftt the result in East
Huron, where Mr. Farrow has beer.
elected by about; 65. From the en-
thusia.sm,unaniinity and spiritdisplayed
by the Reformets throughout the entire
contest, we fully expected that Dr.
Sloan, notwithstanding that he had a
Conservative inajoriti to overcome,
would be elected. T14e desired result
would have been accomplished had the
Reform municipalities done as well,
proportionately, for him, as the Conser-
vative ones did for their man.
He has made a splendid fight
however, and we are only sorry
that the success which his deter-
mined and praiseworthy efforts so well
merited, was not his f)ortione It would
he well for our Mende in East Huron to -
take warning from the vote just polled,
and to set to work at once to plebe their
house in order for the coming battle to
• be fought one year hence. They should
organize at once, and by the strictest
vigilatice, and. the most active work
make amends for the inroads that have
evidently been made upon their ranks.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
As will be seen by the returns given
in another column, Mr. James Trow
has been. elected for South Perth by a
good majority. Mr. Trow and his
friendsworked. hard, and well deserve
their gratifying victory. Mr. C.oughlin,
it
"
!!=r
?,!'
.;c1R
of North Middlesex, althotigh running
in a strong Conservative constituency,
had a narrow escape, and his political
life was very nearly terminated. Exeter
and Stephen did well for the Reform
candidate, Mr. Shipley. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the County Of Bruce
was gerymandered with the express
intention of making it return two Con=
servative members, our friends there,
by bard work and good management,
have defeated the machinations of the
gerymanderers, and have returned two
Reform xnembera by good majorities.
The Battle Over and the Victory
Won -by the Conservatives.
Although the returns are as yet very
imperfect, enough is known to show
that ie the recent elections the Govern -
')L
Ment of Sir John A. Macdonald
been sostained by a majority of betw
fifty sad sixty in a full house.
though we scarcely anticipated
overthrow of the Government, we
fully eXpect that the majority wo
be more largely reduced. It is
necessary now to formulate excuses
the non -fulfilment of this desired resu
but none need close their eyes to t
fact that the victory of the Conservati
party at the ' present election is d
pretty much to the same influenoe th
secured -their return in 1878. That t
Reformers; have gone to the coent
with the odds against thern. none w
deny. We have now an era of empr
cedented prosperity. That prosperi
has come simultaneously with tbe
troduction of the so-called Nation
Policy, and there are so many who ar
governed more by observatiou th
reason, that they do not care to co
sider whether this prosperity is due
natural or artificial causes. Snfficie
for them to know that we have - pro
perite, and that that prosperity follo
ed the Conservative party to powe
Another strong and most effective ple
used by the Conservatives in connectio
With the good times was the fair tri
cry. The National Policy they said ha
just been introduced, it had not had
fair trial, and it was only just and righ
that it should receive this. This is
most specious argument, which, n
doubt, attracted thousands whose bette
judgment must have led them to fee
that Sir John Macdonald is not - th
safest guide to be entrusted _ with th
care of this great country. These, how
ever, are cries which will wear out, an
that too, most likely, before the close o
the present Parliament. The Nationa
Policy will have a fair trial, and it wil
yet be proven by hard. experience tha
its influence and operations are as in
effectual to check depression as the
winds that blow, and it is probably jus
as well that the authors of this polic
should. be in power when this tim
comes. As will be seen by the returns,
the cities and large towns have gone
almost solid for the Government, thus
proving what we have said, that the
fair trial cry has had the same in-
fluence and. effect that the hard times
ory had in 1878. As was to have been
expected, the majority of ' the Govern-
ment in Ontario has been largely de-
creased. Many gains have been made
for the Opposition in the rural cOnsti-
tuencies, and had it- not been fod the
disgraceful geryroam'aering there is not
the least doubt now but Ontario would
have given a very decided majority
against the Government. They evident-
ly expected this, or they would" not
have attempted to stifle the opinion of
the people in the way they did. This,
at all eveAts, is gratifying, but it is sur-
prising to us that, considering the
questions at stake, and the meaner in
which Ontario- has been used by the
present Government, she has not
spoken ont even much more decidedly.
If the policy which has been pursued
for the last three years be continued for
the corning five years, she will be
brought to her senses, and at the next
election; whoever may live to see it, the
glamour of the National Policy will be
fully renioved from the eyes of her peo-
ple,. and they will then be enabled to
see the danger of the pdsition, and to
view their Situation in all its deformity.
We trust, however, that better counsel
will prevail with the Government, and
that they will not r$nly abandon their
persecution of this province, but that
they will make amends for the past, by
showing they are willing to deal fairly
and honorably with us as they do with
others. Below will be found the returns
as far as received from all parts of the

O NOTES AND MAJORITIES.
O OTTJWA CITY. -The contest in Otta-
2 ,tta resblted, contrary to expectation, in
a considerable majority for the Con -
1 servative candidates. At the corn -
0 mencement of the contest many Con-
servatives expressed. strong dissatisfac-
tion with the party candidates, lint as
0 the campaign proceeded the influences
0 with which the wire -pullers here are
so expert, were brought to bear, and
discontented ones were whipped into
line. In a cite like Ottawa, with a
Civil Service of strong Conservative
proclivities, and with a Conservative
Government in power, the Reformers
have an uphill battle to fight. At the
close of the poll it was found that the
now notorieus C. U. Mackintosh was
elected by a majority of 447 over his
opponeet Mr. McIntyre, and Mr. Tasse
beat Mr. St. Jean by 282.
TORONTO. -Toronto, has again return-
ed three Conservatives. In the West
Divieion, Mr. Beattie's majority over
Mayor McMurrich is 433; while in the
Centre Division Mr. Hay has a major-
ity -of 205, and in the EastDivision-Mr.
Small's majority is 341.
Hererierom-In Hamilton both the
Conservative Candidates hese been
elected, tar. Robertson by a majority
of 372 and Mr. Kilwest by 254.
LONDON.- London has given Hon.
0 John Carling, Postmaster 'General, a
0 majority of 256.
KINGSTON. -Mr. Gunn, the .Reform
beyan,d2i.t
dai e in Kingston has been elected
0 CENTRE WELLINGTON. -Many of Our
1 readers will regret to learn of the de-
feat of Sir Richard Cartwright. He
made a gallant fight, but his opponent
secured election by a majority of 161.
CARLETON.-DI Cariet011 Sir John has
been elected by a considerable majority.
Pressure which they could not well re-
aist was brought to bear on, May's sup-
porters to rally to the support of the
Chieftain, and the appeal was not with-
out its effect. Mr. Bronson made a
splendid run, when it is considered
that this is almost the first time that a
straight party contest has been fought,
in this constituency, Sir John's friends
made a distinct pledge on his behalf
that he Would sit for Carleton if elected,
while he himself promised the electors
of Lennox to sit for that constituency.
He will probably resign Carleton, and
there will be a new election, with the
probability that the former candidates
will be in the field.
WEST DURHAM. -A. most determined
effort has been made to defeat Mr.
Blake in West Durham, but without
avail. Although he only spent three
1
1 days in the Constituency he was elected
0 by a good msjority.
BRUCE -Notwithstanding the gerry-
1 mandering of the County of Bruce
0 three Reformers have been reterned.
1 In the North Riding Mr. Gillies has
1 been elected by 79, in East Bruce Mr.
1 R. M. Wells has been elected by 100,
1 and in the West Riding our old friend
1 Somerville, of Lucknow, has piled up a
1
1 large majority.
WENTWORT11.-In North Wentworth
0 Mr. Bain, the late member .and. the
1 Reform candidate, has been elected by
1 a majoeity of 2, while his colleague in

Unhappy Ireland.,
The carnival of crime continues in
Ireland. The latest tragedy is the mirr-

English people, who allow assassin,-

tions to wrest from them concessiois
which they will not make or eveh
patiently consider while the land is at
peace. These murders are the auswelr
of Ireland to the Parliamentary argii-
ments for the Repression bill. In, its
details that bill may not be wholly wise,
but American newspapers which are
attacking its provisions would do we 1

since some districts in our countr
were overrun with guerrillas, who wer

members. - The strength of pnbli
opinion in Great Britain in favor of
vigorous measures for the repression o
crime is indicated by the fact • that s
radical a liberal ite Mr. Goldwin Smith
in a recent article in the-" Conterapor4
ary,"oinsists upon the most stern an
vigorous coercive ineasures. The ad
dress by the Irish Roman Catholic
bishops condemning secret societies
and assassinations comes a little too

late. Such an address, if ' faithfall
