It is true the majorityhas been s tnewhat decreas- ed, but the Government will still be abundantly strong to c rry on the affairs of the Province in the.r own way with- out embarrassment. 1ey have a sure and reliable majority of at least ten. Under ordinary 01min:1sta/ices this is as large s. neadority as .any government should have. But, in view of the man- ner in which the Government have administered the affairs of the Province during the past ten years, and particu- larly when we consider the momentous and important queseions which are before the people, we cannot but feet regret that the ver ict has not been more emphatic. Ito ever, such as it is, we rauet accept it, and feel thankful that the Governme4 have yet a suffi- cient member of aulportersI to assist them in carrying out he wise and eco- noraieat programme sbioh they have so energetically . cenamenoed. They will, also, Ball be in a poeieien to do_ battle for the rights of Ontario, bath as regards her territory and th4 encroachment of the Federalauthori y. Judging frena his past conduct, the eople of Ontario may rest satisfied th t Mr. Mowat will not yield one single p Ant on these im- portant iSSIleS, and -t at the Dominion Government will be orced, no matter ho* reluctantly, to o this . Province justice. - The contest jast el sed wite no ordin- ary one. The battle although short, was fierce and bittei It was not Mr. Meredith and his s4porters that Mr Mowat had to conteni against, but the whole force and streza th of. the Domin- ica' Government w re .plitted 'against him. The campaign, on that side, was engineered from Ottawa. The hand of the head of that GO &lament was visi- ble at. every turn. 1. Th pulled by him, and M4. M gave a -willing respon e. stituency the petit cal tightly turned, and t e v more in accordance ith elivities than a delib rate wires were edith eiroPly n every con - screws were te given was artizan pro - and ,consci. representatives, but to local calm of which inention need not be made here. In South Huron the election of Mr. Bishopil was a forgone conclusion from the Brat-, and his majority would now, no doubt, be larger but for this fact, ail a great many did not exert themselves as mucitias theyevonld have done had 'i . they not considered his election perfect- ly safe, This, also, is a dangerous prao- tice, and we hope that in future elec- tions* matter who the candidates may be or *hat the prospects, every elector will 4 his duty, and give expression to laishonest convictions by polling his vote. lIn West Eluron there was a (dose and scimewhat exciting contest, but Mr. ROM has been elected by a good ma- jority. The cloaest constituency of the three is East Huron. At the last election Mr. Gibsen's majority was small, and there was only a small vote polled, This year, wever, . the vote Was nnusually 1 rge, and the fact that 1 Mr. Gibson still retains his seat by a he best possible proof teem in which be is entions expression of !opin 012 upon the great issues involved.1 In view of these facts, therefore, the decre sed Majority of Mr. NOMA is not a m tter for sur- prise, but the reatilt a rather a subject for congratulation, es the fleet of there being such a majority shows that the larger prodortfon of the people, despite the hero lean efforts made to change them are still firm in their allegiance to the It terra party. Another argument that was used in every constituency; and which, no doubt had its effect, was hat the Gov- ernment were too ' stro g; that no matter how good or how • °nest a Gov- ernment- may be they are the better of being watched, and that during the last 'Parliament the Opposit on were BO miserably weak as to be tterly help- less. This, no dont as, to some extent correct, althoegh it is all the more to the credit ofl the Government that in no instance did they take advan- tage of their strength an at extrava, gently and dishonestly. But, aside from this, theory w a a speoioue one and had its effect, and no doubt many an elector was i dewed, by the plausibility of this arg merit, to vote agsinet his better convictions ' and the Ott/lid-ate of hife rchoic'e. We believe the reduced majority of Mr. Mowat is doe more to this than to any other one cause, and that many, very many, who voted against the Govern- ment ca,ndidates, would be very sorry indeed had the Government been de- feated. The present result should be a warning to all those who have thus been led away. TI-eir simplicity has not resulted in any i serions injury , this time, but the result) remit show them that the experimtent isl an exceedingly dangerous one, and should • not be re- peated. In view Of &Ili the circum- stances, therefore, ate donot think the Government eta thtir friefids have any cause for regret or discouragement. The support given the!Government is abun- dant for all pra4ica1 purposes, and • if the experience of the next four ye aes be - I a repetition; of the past eight, the Government writ close theParlia.men- tary term with atoonsiderably . stronger following than they coMmenced it. In Huron th ReforMers have dona 13 nobly-. The majorities Of the successful candidates have been shightly diminish- ed. This, howe+er, is "Lilt due in any respect to dis atisfactIori with the Government or vjth tlif conduct of the fair majority, is not only of the e _ held by the people, but it also shows that the riding's sound for geed and economical government, and that the - electors are determined to maintain and assert their rights, and will not bow te Federal aggression. ' Old Huron is sound, and we congratulate the Re- formers upon the result. The contest ore our side at any rate, has been con- ducted fairly and honorably, there leas been no gerrymandering or other undue means adopted, and the result may be taken a5 the unbiassed and dispassion- ate veediet of the electorate. MEI Dominion Parliament although in session now tbree weeks have scarce- ly got rightly settled down to business yet. This, no doubt is due to the pro- gress of the Ontario elections. A great many of the Ontario Members from both sides were absent from the House dur- ing the past two weeks, and even the members of the Government were not disinterested spectator e of the battle in progress. Now, however, that Ontario is safe for the next four year at any rate, the minds of oar Federal rulers will, -no doubt, be somewhat more set- tled, and from this until the end of the eessiou, they will be able to devote their pndivided energies to the basiness of the great Dominion, the Parliament of whichwill, 110W, for some time, be the centre of attraction.
