SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, May 8th, 1896
South Huron Reformers.
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.

Mowat and Laurier.
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. `

is is, no

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.

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
