[ Th most hotly contested political battle fought in Canada for many years terrai ated on Tuesday last. The cam- paign was short but it was exceedingly vigor us. The result is, we are free to 1 , confes , disappointing. It is true the majo. ty a the Government is largely decreased and for this we suppose we i shout • 'be thankful. It is also_ true that Refor ers, especially in Ontario, have many odds to contend against. They had t e-gerymander and the Franchise Act, a d last, but by no -means least, the Riel c y. But, notwithstanding these i draw backs, we did think that the justice of their cause as well as the 1 ,proved recklessness ond wanton extrava- gance of their opponents would secure !for th m a better showing in this Pro- vince: It is simply astonishing how easily ensible people can be led away by a s nseless cry. The very fact that the Go. -eminent caused the unfortunate t, - wretch Riel to be hanged and that Mr. , Blake nel several Reformers voted that kr so d ing they acted wrongly, lost for 1- t 1 the Ref ren party- in Ohtario many seats. , n i lArhile rwe believe that Mr. Blake and ,7- - every- xiernber of the Reform party who voted ifrtth him on this question acted I strictly in accord with their honest con- ' -Victiens, we felt at the time that their ' action would prove prejudicial to them lin the corning election, and we have not ' been ni1istaken. The Riel cry was ' worked or all it was worth both public - Ay and privately in Ontario by the —1_ Consery tive party, and we know that !many permitted themselves to overlook !the ma y misdeeds and shortcomings of the Gov rnment in sympathising with :them in this one. act. They forgot it e , was the "cruel and calous " neglect of :the Government towards the half-breeds . thatmade it possible fdr Rid to incite them to rebeliort, and in their gratitude that :a just fate had overtaken the lesser culprit they forget the more heinous sin of thelgreater offender, i While he Riel cry did good, service for the Government in many of the rural Iconstitue cies, the National Policy serv- ed a grand purpose in the cities. Every pity has one in favor of the Govern- , merit. Even the _labor candidates were defeated Toronto by their own follow - ere, Th aid political spirit proved Stronger thaO the newborn zeal for , !fiber. T •e tecent vote proves -clearly, • however, that a Majority of the people are not 0 -ly totisfied with the National Paliey, b t that they desire it continued. t4 at are villiing to pay nine millions of t dollars annually for it, whether they re- ceive any hink in return from it or not. That the pedple of the (manufacturing 0 -litres should be willing to de this we oeed net le so much surprised, baut it is inore tha • marvellous that the farmers, Who certa •alt cannot and do not receive any benefit from it, should be willing to continue he Payment of this tax for th-e eole and rely benefit of the manufac- turers. However, the decision just ren- dered goet td show that they are, Or at least a majority of them, are willing to pay it, if e are to judge by the repre- sentatives they send to Parliament. • - While t ere have been several gains and losse in Ontario, the position of parties re 7141111 about as it wan before, and the G vernment will have a inejority in this P evince of about thirteen as prepared ith sixteen in the old Par- liament. he Government supporters _ ein their sire heve to mourn the loss of such old stand bys as Hector Cam- eron, John White, Thomas Farrbw, 4nd othe whose names do n t now Occur to u., who have been slain bee the • . way, whil the Liberals have to :mourn the loss f such men as Cameron of Huron; Ca eron of Middlesex, Wells of orth Br • ce, Flemming of Peel, and Fairbanks of Lambton. The greatest change is `-ii Quebec. A large Govern- ment majo larger min politicians elected. r Which so Liberals, the same ity will be converted into a rity, although all the leading on both sides have been he Maritime Provinces, from much was e-xpected for the 1 emain, on the whole, about as before, while Ma ritoba sends four Supporters of the Government and but ona solitary opponent in the per- son of Mr. Vatson,e the stalwart member for Marque te. The result, when sunned up is, as a arty- as we can guage it at the presen time, a majority of from ten to twelve n favor of the Government. This numb r Iiill probably be increased by subseg,tent elections before the House mee to twenty or twenty-five. It will hatdly be more than this: al- though some Place it higher and some ower. With such a majority, it is esti- mated by those who should know, that Sir John will scarcely be Ekble -to .carry on business in the House as it will be constituted ; that the Parliament Will be a -short-lived one, and that we may look for another general electiPn before long. Although Reformers May feel regret and disappointment that the result is not different from what it is, they have no grounds for discouragement.. Even although the Government may have a eufficient majority to carry them through this Parliament, that majority is very much less pliablethan was the one controlled: in the late Parlian.ent. The majority has not only been reduced fully two-thirds but it has been made more independent. The Government, therefore, will be held more in check and although Mr. Blake inay not be in a position to dictate, he will certainly be able to- regulate' the legislation of the country. We may 'depend upon it; that with a house composed :as the - present one is there will not be any more millions granted to the Canadian Pacific Rail_ way., nor will there be much, if any, in- terference with Provincial Legislation and. there can be no more gerymander andeFranchise Acts passed. Therefore, althis-ngh we have not got 6.S mire!) as we wished or as much as we contended for, eve -hese gained a great deal. For what we have gained the country owes,a debt of gratitude to the noble Liberal leadel, Hon. Edward Blake. During the past six months he has 'gone through what very few, men on the American continent could have done. Day ,after day, and twice a day for month's, he has delivered addresses which for logic and clearness of argument could scarcely be excelled and which his opponents did not even attempt to. disprove and he has been ably assisted by Sir Richard dartwrigh4 and other leaders. That these leaders hate not been more liberally rewarded is to be regretted; but when we consider the manner in Which they were weighted down and handicappethin the race it is only surprising they have done so well. Success will yet crosvn their efforts, and it may be that suecess'is nearer then many now: anticipate. The ResUlt in Huron. Every Reformer, net only ie Huron, but in Ontario, will learn with regret of the defeat of that sturdy champion of the people's rights; Mr. M. C. Cameron. The old war horse has fought many hard battles and won merry glorious victories, but defeat is •sereething esv to hirn. We are assured, however, that the de- feat is only temporary and that the ap- parent verdict against him will be re- versed in the Courts. He had a hard and bitter fight. Every weapon, fair and foul, was unsparingly used against hirre• but, despite the efforts of his op- ponents, he would have been Sale but for the indifference, caused no doubt by over -certainty, of some of Ms friends. We hope that all such have now 'learned a lesson they will not soon forget, and that they will be led toieverely: repent of their follyi • In East Huron, a -glorious victory has been scored, and we extend to Dr. Mac- donald and Ms friends our inost.hearty poll one vote; but h13 neighbor, who ha the same amount of ed around in. five districts would have cast them.for five d ' Thus the one man • same stake,in the co would have five ti Government of the son can see the in property.distribut- different elector five votes and coul fferent candidates with ,precisely th ntry as the ethe es the say in th ountry.

We re- fer to the provision in the Ontario Fran- chise Act which limits the franchise to one vote for ohe man. Under the old Act, and under the Dominion law at present, if an elector has propetty in twenty diffelent electoral districts he can vote in each one if he is only able to overtake the ilyork within the time allowed. Under. the amended Ontario Act this is One• ,away with and each , elector must -feet° in: the electoral dis- trict in which he resides.

What the aai Says: The latest returns are s ill very income plete and unsatisfac ory, but each snc ceedingeday tends to reduce the major- ity of, the Governm nt. The following he what the Mail say Later though no final returns of Tuesday's • contest how that, leaving everything west of anithba out of the reckoning, the Gov rnment has a ma- jority of: thirteen, wl ich May be increas- ed to setenteen or n ore by British Col- umbia and the Terri ories Our Quebec correspondent tele rephS that Mr. Laurier laims a Majority of sixteen in Quebec, our figures- cone ding the Op- position!a; majority -of onl six. We are unable to account or ti is difference. Mr. Laurier may be orrec but certain- ly the Associated ress espatches do not, support his elait nor can our Quebec corres onde t learn up -- on .whet it is 'base. If Mr, Laurier's figures re ccurate the Governnient's majority w 11 of course sink to the neighbor rood f zero. The Nationalists proper, . e., iho Ultramon- tanes,have elected ei reeesentatives, viz. : Messrs. Dupon and avergne,who were returned with ut o position, and Messrs. Amyot, 13er eron,• Doyon, Des- aulniers,I Gaudet an( Cin on. . Whilst these gentlemen still ca 1 themselves , Conservatives, they are p obably more -hostile to the Mini try . t an Rouges. Some confusion has ieen c used by the Ministerial press of Mont eal claiming threenr four of the eigh as Govern- ment supporters, on the ground that they are still Tories.._ It is evident that where the Govermner t has hit up a can- didate of its own a,g hist Nationalist, the latter, where suicessf 1, can scarce- , ly be ranked as -a Mi isteri list; for the question fit once sugg >sts it elf, If he is a-Ministerialist, why did he Ministry oppose him? The N tion lists are few in number, but it, is 'ell to bear in mind that a change of a dngle vote in the House,counts two -in division. There is no material change ia the figures from Ontario, where the C oVernment has a Majority of twelve,. with Mirskoka to be heard from, and Aleorna t et to vote. In the Maritime Provinces a -few changes have been ma e by the later re- turns. Prince Edwa -d Teland appears to have elected the whot opposition ticket.. Mr. Jo4s, the -Opposition leader in Nova Scotia, has been returned in Halifax, and one or two seats claimed by the Conservatives on Tuesday night have now been conceded • to the Opposi- tion. In New Brunswick, the figures stand as they did in 1882, viz., nine Ministerialists to seveit Oppositioniste. The eiact strength of parties will pro- bably not be known until a division is taken in the new House; meanwhile there can be no doubt that the Iife of the Government hangs upon a thread. Whatever the members from the Territories and British Columbia may, call themselves, their constituents will compel them to be Ministerialists, no matter which party happens to hold office. THE Tbront0 Standard, the new Con- servative orgampublished its valedictory and ceased to exist on Monday last. With the close of the election campaign its usefulness had ceased, and it had the good sense to 4ie. Its career was a brief and inglorious ne, but during its exist- ence it distrib ited more political slush and falsehood than any other paper, in an equal space of time, that ever existed. Few will mour its untimely demise.

Sometimes Tile EXPOsITOR is accused of being unduly partizan, and of dealing too severely wi its political- opponents. But, those of o. r readers who have had an opportunity f perusing the Conser- vative papers fir the past month, rhest have been ama ed • at our moderation. Below we give a sample article from the campaign seppl ment which was distrii" buted through 11 the Coeservative pa- pers last week, nd is a very fair sample of, the literature indulged in by the pa- pers of that pa ty during the recent ,campaign. The article proceeds as fol- lows: 1. . - "Look abroa. • over the field, and what do you'eee ? The Reform party? There is n4_1onger a Reform party. The party of Baldwin and Rolph, of Macken- zie and George Brown, of Pepineau and Lafontaine, has 4eased to exise In its place is a motley collection of political fragments, the sweepings of -the political dustbin, the offscOurings of the political alleyways, the muck -heaps of the politi- al barnyards, the shards of the political s ottery. Once the Reform 'party repre- ented the •pride, of asolitical manhood mrsting the bonds of political tutelage ite banner inscribed with principles y(klasting is the.yearn, waved free over eniarmy imershalled under. leaderwhose 'ery name was a :bond of integrity: and , . irebity ; and whose- burning words 'aright sentiments that ennobled; _raised spirations that uplifted, and urged to deeds Onions in thelight of freedom, r this host was borne the shield of patiriotitm, Of love for country,of inten- tion to uphold the weal of thecommon- weOlth, of obedience to the country's liiesi: for the country's good. • Great men Were in that marshalled array -men . streng in the justice of their cause, men stein in the discharge of their dirty, be- cauee conscious of the rectitude of their purposes, men Who battied for political freedom inma,nly fashion, giving and taking blows in open Warfare with the fee in front and their- back to the rock, men who battled- bravely because the: principles they fought for • were rock, heareseed,with Tenth, and founded on eternal .Right. Such was the, Reform party." . , • "Now, see that manhood debased to the -irost atrocious depths of degradation at the call of party exigency. Now, see that banner trailed in the mud of race contention, and trampled under the feet of treason. Now, sec those great prin- ciples made the football of the political scum that gathers about moral putre- faction -the butt of political Thugs., Now, see those great leaders replaced by men whose highest, idea of public moral- ity is success, who, know not the mean- ing of integrity, and in whose mouths probity would be a reproach. Now, see that bright shield turned into a drip- : ping pan to catch the foulness that flows from the lowest political sewers ;to dish up the garbage for the delectation of a following too degenerate to appreciate more intellectual food. Now, see the white garment of Reform , purity wrap- ped about the bloody corpse of rebellion; see its cleanliness !stained by contact with dark treason, and the garb of just- ice flung into the ditch to make way for the red cloak of disloyalty to country and to crown. Now, see the good in politics trampled under foot, justice re- legated to the attic of forgetfulness. Right only heard when sneeringly flung frone the mouth of a hypocrite, and truth emasculated to serve the purposes of faction. Now,see where stood the great men of old,the rabble of treason -mongers, law haters, secess1oniet rebels whose weapons are caltnauy and slander and vituperation and abuse, mer who revile with villainous hearts and foul mouths, who assail the weak and defenceless, the the women and children, stab in the back and slaughter in the night, strike from behind and t rough the hearts of loved ones, who re ard nothing that is rigat or just if it st nd in their way -a rat azious horde of character assassins, sca del monging p litical bucanneers, witlhout the mercy- of a pirate or the Illa liness of a ga, otter -a .brood so detestable that the old-time Reformer still left in the ra ks, horrified at his surtoundings, pray God to raise up another Moses to lead them out of politi- cal bondage. "These be the type of the Blake- Rielite party in the Add to-dey. Plenty of the old Reformtparty are left. Many l of t iern are in the Conservative ranks, maiy of them still cling to the old name but' they are not in the active service. There is no place for them in the present party's field of battle. They look in vain for leaders that "may be trusted,and companions that are hot a reproach. So they are crowded to the wall -they are of sight -again we say the Reform y as a party of Reform no longer ts. out part exis "What difference between the two parties? The difference between loyalty and treasbn,between fealty and rebellion, between LO,w and Crime, between the welfare of the country and robbery by individuals, between good government with progress and corrupt government with ruin.
