The annual meeting of the Sonth Huron Reform Association; as censtituted for Do- minion purposes, was held at .Brucefield on Wednesday last. There was an unusually large attendance, every municipality in the Riding being well represented. The Presi- dent, Mr. Alexander Mustard, presided. The following officers were elected: Alex. Mustard, Brucefield, President; John C. Kalbffiesch, Hay, Vice -President; Thomas Fraser, Stanley, Secretary; Geo. Walker, Tuckersmith, Treasurer. The following municipal Chairmen were also appointed: Bayfield, Dr. Stanbury; Stanley, John ,Ketchen ; Hay, F. Kibler; Tuckersmith, Hugh McCartney; Seaforth, D. D. Wilson.; 1V1cKillop, George Murdie ; Hullett, James Snell. In view of the fact that nearly two years had elapsed, and that two sessions of Par- liament had been held since the nomination of Mr. McMillan by the last convention, and as Ma McMillan himself expressed a preference for such a course, it was unani- mously decided to hold another convention. This Convention will be held at Brucefield on Wednesday, May 20th at 1 o'clock, p1 rn. In the mean time meetings will be held in the several municipalitiei for the selection' of delegates and it is hapedthat these meet- ings will be largely attended and that every polling sub -division in the Riding will be fully represented by properly accredited delegates. The number of delegates each municipality is permitted to send is as fol- lows : Dayfield, 6; Hay, 25; Hallett, 20;. McKillop, 19;,Seaforth, 17 ; Stanley, 15; Tuckersmith, 18, making in all 120 dele- gates. The business part of the meeting being completed, addresses were delivered by Mr: John McMillan, M. P. and Mr. M. Y. Mc- Lean, M; 1'. P. A resolution, moved by D. D. Wilson, Seaforth, and seconded by Dr. 2,IcDermid, Hensall, expressive of appreeia- ' tion of the able leadership of _Eerie Wilfred Laurier;approval of- hiscoursein Parliament and expressing satisfaction that he is to be seconded in his efforts 1osecure honest and economical government so able,ancj one who has all that a great politica.

At the earnest request of the leading Lib- erals. of the Dominion, and also upon the invitation of Hon. Mr. Laurier, the Liberal leader, Sir Oliver Mowat, Ontario's beloved and veteran Premier, has eonsented to join Mr. Laurier as Dominion leader for Ontario, and in the event of the success of the Lib- eral party at the forthcoming- elections, will resign the Premiership of Ontario and take a seat in the new Liberal cabi ed at Ottawa. Sir Oliver is, the foremost statesman in C, et to be form - undoubtedly, nada at the present day ; as a consiitutioaal authority he has no equal, while his eminent fairness to all classes and creeds has wen hint the en- tire confidence of all, and in this way his services Would be peculiarly advantageous to the Dominion at the present juncture. That Sir Oliver's removal from the political arena in Ontario would be,unquestionably, a great loss to this province,goes without say- ing, but he leaves behind him in. the Ontario 'Government many good men who, while they might not be able to fully take his place, it may be safely concluded that the province would not suffer under their care. While no man in Ontario is so iinplicitly trusted by her people as Sir Oliver, he also his to a won.derful degree _the confidence of the people of the other provinces,so that the great Liberal party enter upon the coming struggle with the utmost confidence, and, may reasonably hope for a glorious victory. Their leaders are men of unsullied charac- ter, stainless political record, and against whom the tongue of scandal ,has never dared lift its voice, while their poliey is such that t can scarcely fail to commend itself to the masses of the people upon whom it devolves o render the verdict. Never before in the history of the country has the Liberal party appealed to the people under such favorable circumstances. They have le a.ders against whom even their opponents can not cast a reproach; they have a policy that has made • England the first commercial nation in the world, and they have a party which in aim and principle is united from the Atlantic on e East to the P acifie on the West. Their opponents have a leader in whom no person trusts; the party is riven and rent by inter- nal dissensions and petty personal jealousies, while under their policy, which has been on trial for eighteen years, the country has been gradually but surely retrograding; the people becoming poorer and more discon- tented and the wheels of progress have al- most come to a stand still, and this too, in a country which has natural advantages un- excelled by any country in the --,,world. Surely, under these circumstances,. we may safely say the prospects of the Liberal party are bright indeed. ` ' The New Cabinet. As we announced last week,t ed for and much talked about r Sir McKenzie Bowen, as Premie minion, has at length taken Tuesday,last week, Sir McKenzie resignation to the Governor - was accepted, and Sir Charles called upon -to form as Governn proceeding took no person by s was, simply, carrying out a which had long been expected. Sir Charles Tupper entered the and took his seat in Parham been, virtually, the head and lea( party. It is said that Sir, Me pressed himself as being much being relieved from the cares, r ties and worries of office. T doubt, • partly true.- As he ex himself, while he wasat the he Government, he was surrounded b of traitors," who gave biar little who tried in every possible way 4 e long look- ignation of of the place. On Bent in his moral. It upper was ent. This rprise. It rogramme 'ver since overnment t,' he has er of the 'enzie ex - leased at sponsibili. is is, no ressed it d of the a "nest eace, and to make his position uncomfortable. It w 9, there- fore, no doubt a relief to him to ltics able to get out of such undesirable company. But it is abundantly evident to every one" that he did not abandon the Premiership volun- tarily, that he was, in fact, croweed out by Sir Charles Tupper and his friends. It is an equally unmistakabk fact, that Sir McKenzie felt the humiliation of his posi- tion very keenly. •ThIs was alike- evident from his words and actions. Only a few days before his retirement, at a festive gathering in Ottawa, in his reply to a toast, he sarca.stically remarked that,on his retire- ment from the Premiership he might go* to London to represent Canada on a certain mission, "if his present colleagues in the Government should consider his abilities equal to the duties," and, although he was offered a position in, Sir Charles Tupper's Cabinet, as a solatium to his wounded feel- ings, he peremptorily declined, saying that further than to retain his seat in the Sen- ate, he wpuld not accept of any public pos- ition from the present Government. All this, and much more that might be noted, goes to show that the ex -Premier has no love for the present Premier, and that he has still less for several -of his late collea- gues. Indeed, ,it could scarcely be other- wise, as no Canadian Premier has ever been treated so contemptibly by his party, and especially by his colleagues in the Govern- ment, as Sir McKenzie Bowel]: has been. However, time almost invariably brings its revenge, and Sir McKenzie will not have to live long to have abundant revenge, on those •w,ho have been responsible for his present downfall and humiliation. Great things were expected from Sir Charles Tupper as soon as he could step in- to Sir McKenzie's shoes. It was expected he would form a powerful and united Cab- inet that would thoroughly corninend itself to the country, and carry everything before it at the forthcoming elections. The strong- est men in the party were to be marshalled from each of the Provinces, and all difficula ties and cliffereaces were to be overcome. Well, Sir Charles is Premier, and he has formed his Government, and the combin- ation has been announced to the public. Sir Charles has been a disappointment ever since he entered the Cabinet. Too much was, evidently, expected of him, and he has not cense up to the mark. But, we venture to say, that nothing which he has done since his return to Canadian politics has been half so disappointing to his friends and fol- lowers as the announcement of the Govern- ment, which he has just formed. The new Ministry is constituted as follows : SIR CHARLES TUPPER, Premier and Sec- retary of State. Mn. FOSTER, Minister of Finance. MR. Cosarener, Minisiter , of Marine and Fisheries. MR. HAGGART, Minister of Railways and Canals. MR. ANGERS, President of the polAncil. MR. IVES, Minister of Trade and Com- merce. . - Mn. DICKEY, Minister Of Justiee. Da. MoNTAGuE, Minister of Agriculture. • M. WOOD, Controller of Customs. MR. Parole Controller of Inland Rev- enue. . DESJARDINS, Minister of Public Works. Mr. TAILLON, Postmaster -General. MR. NI Acnal:ALD,. Minister of the In- terior. Mn. TISDALE, Minister of Militia. SIR, FRANK SMITH, Senator D. FERGUSON and • Senator J. J, Ross, without portfolio. Sin C. H. TULTER, Solicitor -General, without seat in the Cabinet. If the. above list comprises the best men Canada can produce, God help Canada. It was expected that some attempt ,would be made to re -cement the party,by gathering in men like Wallace, McNeil, McCarthy, O'Brien and others, who have atrayed from the green pastures of officialdom to the barren wastes of opposition. .But, .,no, at- tempt has been made in this direction. In fact, the changes- that have been Inade can only have the result of still further/antagon- ising the recalcitrants of the .party. One notable feature of the new abinet is; that the " nest of traitors," as Sir McKenzie called the bolters of last Jaeuary, has been kept intact, while those who stood true to Sir :McKenzie in his hour of trouble have been dropped out. The vacancy from On- tario, eansedby the retirement of 'Sir .Mc- Kenzie, has been filled by the appointment of Col. Tisdale, of Noeth Norfolk, an old grand -mother, and a political nobody; not- able for nothing save his imbecile subser- viency to party ; a hack who has neither influenceinor following. The distance be- tween Col. Tisdale and Mr. Meredith) Mr. B. B. Osier, and men of that calibre, whom it was said would be taken into -the Cabinet, is so great, as to make Col. Tisdale's ap- pointment look little better than a bur- lesqr. The swap from Manitoba, which brings into the Gevernment Mr. Hugh John M onald, the son of the late Premier, and reti es Mr. T. M. Daley, is, perhaps, an ad - van ageous one, although Mr.- McDonald is, adm.ttedly, not a politician, and has repeat- edlyldeclared his aversion to 'politics and political life. But, hia perscnality and his rela ionship to him who so often led the Con ervative party to victory,will make him a st ng and popular Cabinet Minister. The Que ec contingent is of such a character that it will not bring much joy to the hea ts of the friends of the Government in Ont rio. As will be seen, Sir Adolphe Our n and Mr. Ouimethave been dropped, and Mr. Angers and Mr. Taillon have been sele ted in their stead. • Mr. Angers' is the gen tertian who left Sir- McKenzie Bowell's 'Gov rnment, because the Government post- pon d action on the remedial bill until the last eesion. He wanted to force it through dur gil the session of 1895. Mr. Taillon was remier of the Province of Quebec. Whi e occupying that position - he negoti- ated a loan for the Province, Which resulted in t e loss of over half a million dollars, and ath r than excuse or support his action, his reasnrer, Hon. Mr. Hall, resigned. While his does not say very much for'his adminis- i testi1 e ability, he is aaid to be, personally, nob ectionable. Taken upon the whole, here ore, it can not be said that the Cab net as been strenathened by its recon- truc ion. It will be Seen that Sir Hibbert • upp r, the son of his father, who stepped ut o the Ca,binet a fevr months ago, to al - w his father to get in, has not been for- otten. He has been appointed Solicitor- xeaeral, a position rendered vacant some iontlis ago by the appointment of Mr. ureab to a judgeship. The only excuse here seems to be for this appointment is, hat it will enable young Tupper to draw a alar Y of $5,000 a year instead of $1,000, as ormerly. This, however, would be a suffi- • ient reason in the mind of a Tupper for any uch move. .. Sh uld this Government be sustained at he f rthcoming elections, we may fairly ex- pect that, large as the public debt now is and heavy as the annual expenditure has roven,both will be immensely increased within the next five year's, a.nd the resources : of t is ` young country will, be seriously crip led. A more.. reckless, corrupt and grasping politician than Sir Charles Tupper never lived, and he has not one colleave in his Government who dare raise his voice to control this autocratic corruptionist and , , - spendthrift. , 1 , Not Very Well Pleased. The Toronto World, which voices the sentiments and feelings of the Clark Wal- lace acton of , the Conservative party, is not 1 ye y highly elated over the New 1 Cabinet which Sir Charles Tupper has cou. strutedI It discourses about it in the follOwin strain : OntarO opinion is passed over in a way and aerlittle regard is had for the views of peopl who form the most progressive portion of the Dominion; on the other hand, e ery concession possible has been made t the people of the Province of Quelpec .n the matter of separate schools in Mantob , in order to secure a large major- ity cf th vote of the French province for the pres nt Administration. We frankly conf ss hat we do not think there will be any bhatge in the representation sent ' from that province. At the present time the Liberals have a majority of half a dozen or mor , and we do not see how Sir Charles Tuper can hope to sweep Quebec, as his friends allege. He has made his appeal to the ipeople of Quebec on the matter of creed ; Mr. Laurier is making his appeal in that province on the line of ace, and we make the conjecture that the atter, will be just its strong as the former. * * * * As to the timber in the Cabinet, we can- not See that there is any great difference etween it and the former one. One thing hat strikes us is that as far as Remedial egielation is cencerned it is stronger on hat Point than was the Cabinet of Sir fackenzie Bowell. It is Ultramontane or • ()thing in its Quebec contingent. Mr. • ngers, who joins Sir Charles Tapper in he Cabinet as the leader from Quebec, left ir Mackinzie Bowell's Government tbe- ause he was not convinced that his col- eares were really in earnest on the Re- ! e ial question: Colonel Tisdale, who oes in from Ontario, is also a very pro- ouneed Remedialist, and his last speech in he House was to challenge either Mr. Mc- arthy or Mr. Clarke Wallace to contest is seat with him on this issue.Mr. Hag - art has also declared himself to. be a etrieblialist up to the hilt. And Charley upp r, who introduced the Remedial rder, is given a position in the Govern- ent. In the next place, the Cabinet shows er y learly that those Ministers who stood y Si Mackenzie Bowell in the strike ef anua y last have nearly all had to walk e Plank. Sir Adolphe Oaron, Mr. Ouirriet d1Mr. Daly, wire stood by Sir Mackenzie owel in his troubles, are not in the new abin t • Mr. Costigan is the only one of at abinet left in office who was a strikes that occasion. Thee are the words of a friendly critic a 0 a a fi d they are not very complimentary nor e t ey calculated to inspire much con - enc or enthusiasm in the breasts of the ery iMportant Wing of the party "for whom , ey are spok' n. They are, howeventrue. It ill b notice the World points out two very imporant char acieristics of the new Cabinet, viz : 1That i is constructed so as to be s ronTr and ore determined on remedial 1 gislation than that which preceded it d that Mr: owell and those whoa- backed im Were bee thoroughly cleaned:out. The 1 ireseat Pre flier might have had tbe eceney to sh w a little more consideration f r the friend of his predecessor. But Sir 'harks. Tupp r is not a man to allow the eelings of an person to stand it the way f his own su cess and advancement, and Ithotigh he erhaps did not deliberately lan to humi iate Sir Mackenzie Bowen dors! the wo Id as he has done, Sir Mac_ enzia's frien s stood in his way and they 1 ad ti) go. S ich is the man. i It must not be concluded that because Sir Adolphe daron, Mr. Ouimet and Mr. . M. Daly have been left oat of the omihion Cabinet that therefore they will e left out in the cold. That would not o. They know too much of the inner orkings of the political machine to make 1.reat.thent of that kind safe and they would ertainly make trouble at the elections. 1 ir Charles is too old and too wise a bird o make a mistake of that, kind. The tatement is now made that in a year's time Sir Donald Smith will resign the High (Pommissionership and that Sir Adolphe will 2 be sent tolLondon,and teat Mr. Ohimet and Mr. Daly will be given Judgeships. This is, ne doubt, the progra me which will be carried out providing, of course, that the electors do not upset it by !returning Laurier aid the Grits; whi h, by present appearancesis one of the String probabil- ities.
