SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Feb. 13, 1891
The Big Conventiori Off.
It has been the generally expressed
wish of Liberal's throughout Ontario
that the convention celled for the 18th
and 19th of the present month should be
postponed, as on these days the partiea
will be in the thick of the battle, and
the active Reformers who would be
chosen as delegates are the very men
whose services will bemost required in
their own constituencies. It has, there.
fore,been decided to declare the conven-
tion off for the present.
The Senate.
The Central Farmers' Iestitute of On-
tario, representing the beat class of
farmers all over the province, has
passed a resolution favoring the abolition
of the Dominion Senate, on the ground
that it favors combines. There are
many other equslly potent reasons why
this expensive asylum for public im-
beciles should be abolished. 11 the
farmers generally, throughout the Do-
minion, would only insist on their Candi-
dates in the approaching election pledg-
ing themselves to work in parliament
for -the Senate'a abolition it would soon
be done. Now is the time to strike.
Thie is not a party question, the leaders
of both itolitical parties being favorable
to the retention of the Senate. But if
the farmers will only pat down their
feet,and say the Senate muse go,it will go
and that in short order. Suppose the
farmers of the three ridings of Huron set
the example.
The Chances f4. Success.
We believe that the Reformers of
Caned& go into the present contest with
batter chances of auccess than they, ever
had before. It is true that the Govern=
ment have large and powerful influences
in their favonsuch as railway and menu -
lecturing corporations, and the almost

well as by those of his iinisters on the

A remarkably ttrong deputation went
before Premier Mowsi, on Friday, the
30th, to support the application of S. J.
Ritchie, of Akron, Ohio, for a $.1,500,000
boniae. Mr. Ritchie, who is president
of the Central Ontario Railway and owns
. large nickel lands near Sudbury; asks
for 3 per cent. per annum for ten years
on 55,000,000, this money to be used
in plant and manufactory of nickel -steel
in Canada. M. Ritchie was followed
up by Mayor Clarke; Prof. "Goldwin
Smith, andseveral dozens of -the Board
of Trade men, who said t'ney saw in Mr.
Ritchie's scheme niillions of dollars for
Canada, and fqr Toronto in particular.

stereotyped remarks about, careful con-

item with the Beavis and Browne pro-

If we can guage public tenternent in
Emit Huron, by the attendance at this
meeting, the enthusiasm of those pre -s-
ent and the encouraging reports they
1 giv , East Huron will return Dr. Mc-
, DO aid at the forthcoming election by ,
: a v ry much larger majority than he
l had before. There is nothing so danger- '
ons however, as a feeling of over-secur- 1
ity, which is the only thing that can de- I.
feat him, and the Reformers must guard 1
against that.

S01 -1H HURON. •
A very large gathering ansembIed , at I
Brucefield on Wednesday last for the 1
purpose of selecting a candidate to con- I
test .the Riding in the Reform interest. !
In fact the halt was not nearly lerge
enough th accoinmodate the &Assembly,
and among those present we noticed
several who had formerly been conger- ,
vatives. Every municipality in the
ridiog was fully represented by dele-
gate, and a good deal of enthuaiasm WAS
manifested. After the convention was
organized and the preliminary proceed-
ingsgotten through with, a number of
gentlemen were nominated as condi-
! dates, but all withdrew except Mr. John
McNlillan and Mr. M. C. Cameron. A "
' ballot being taken, Mr. McMillan was -
found to have a majority of the votes
cast, and his nomination was consequent- I
ly made `unanimous. This. terminated
the proceedings and the convention
broke up in the usual way. It is but
just to Mr. Carneron th say that he was
not present at the convention. About -1
half of the present South Elbron belong-
ed Mr.Cameron's former constituency, °
and his nomination was made out of re-
spect for past services and old associa-
tions as well as in reeogni 'on of his .
genuine !cervices to and sac -cea for the
petty. We have not heard yet of any
opposition to Mr. MeMillan and the pro-
babilities are that he will go in unop•
posed.
