The Reformers of West Huron heid their convention at Dungannon on Friday last. There was a grand turn -out, over two hun- dred delegates presenting their credentials, and every polling subdivision' in the riding being fully represented. Mr. M. C., Cameron was, of course, the unanimous choice, no other person having been nominated. There was, at one time, some doubt as to whether or not Mr. Cam- eron's health would permit him to under- take another campaign, but the invitation extended to him was so enthusiastic and unanimous, that he could not refuse, and • the Old War Horse of Huron," the hero of many hard political fights,will once more lead the Grit hosts of West Huron to vic- tory. Mr. Cameron's acceptance of this nomination ensures the return once more of , a solid .delegation from old Huron to sup- port the Laurier -Mowat Government at Ottawa. The Conservatives have not yet nominated their man, and there is no certainty as to who he will be, nor does it make much dif- &relic°, as Mr. Cameron's election is now practically assured no matter who his op- ponent may be, if the Liberals only work as they are in the habit of doing. There can be nettling in the future surer than the elec- tion of the Liberal candidates in both South and East Huron, and Mr., Cameron's candi- dature in the West makes the result just as certaia there. Mr. Kilty, a school teacher at Summer- hill, in the township of Hullett, has been arorninated as a McCarthy-P.P.A.. candidate, Mr. Kllty is quite a clever young man, but he is scarcely so fond of notoriety as to riSk his deposit, and will likely withdraw before nomination day, unless he is taken up by the Coaservatives and run as their candidate. Another Legal Victory for Sir Oliver. Sir Oliver Mowat on Saturday morning received a cable message from his agent in London, England, stating that the Privy Council had given judgment in the case in which the Provincial Legislature's right to prohibit the importation, manufactaire and sale of intoxicating liquors was called in question. The case came before the Privy Council as an appeal from the finding of ahe Supreme Court of Canada, the Attorney - General for Ontario being the appellant, and the Attorney -General for the Dominion of Canada, and the Dietillers and Brewers' As- sociation of Ontario, the respondents. The decision of the Supreme Court is now re- versed, and the contention of the appellant sustained. This means, as nearly as it ean be made oat from the brief summary of the decision received by cable, that the power to prohibit the sale and importation, mats exclusively with the Dominion. The local option clauses of the present licexise -ant stand good where they do not conflict with Dominion Legislation. The provinces have power to prohibit the manufacture, that is in localities where it might be a nuisance. This decision once more proves, the superior legal skin and constitutional knowledge of Ontario's Premier. It will be remembered that his contention was, that while the Pro- vincial Legislature has the power to give the local municipalities the right to say whether or not the sale shall be stopped in their respective municipalities, so long as the Dominion does not legislate to the con- trary, it has not the right to wholly prohib- at the sale or importation. This, as we un- derstand it, is just what tbe Privy Council has decided. It will now be for those who desire total prohibition to move on to the Dominion. Mr. Mowat's contention that the Province has/ the right to collect a license fee from the brewers and distillers, has also been sustained. Independence in Politics. Canada is blessed with a number, of so- called independent papers, at least they are 0 exceedingly independent between elections. C When there is no election in sight these so- I called independent papers are very liberal in in their criticisms of the Conservative party m and Government, and these criticisms are w frequently the reverse of complimentary to t those whose acts they criticise,but no sooner H does an election turn up than these same si gentry evidently forget all aboitt their iuIt - dependent principles, and they are the Ioucl- a est howlers for the Conservative party and m Conservative principles. In this, however, they are not unlike some of the electors. h There are not a few people who, between r election times, are exceedingly independent, ti and who do not hesitate to proclaim their la dissatisfaction with the powers that be, and ti who, in a constituency where the vote is so c much one sided that a few hundred votes a either one way or other are net likely to at effect the final result, may even go so far as m to vote against their party, but place these same parties in a blose constituenty,where a 14rd battle being fought, and where tleir veto! are lik ly to count for Something, nd they almost invariably forget all about t eir professions of independence and v te straight party. Yet these are the kin of` people who always have the most b. ter ords for partyism and those who 0 ke prty professions. It is amusing to Watch tiet contortions and wrigglings of s eh p pers as the Toronto News and Telegrfam j st now. Their painful efforts to help I, he T ry Government and stab and misrepre- s nt the Grits, while they at the same time t y to keep up an appearance of- independ- e ce, would be amusing were they not 1 80 b re faced and ludicrous. It is a hard t ing to consistently serve two masters elfin) in politics or religion, and the scecalled in- dependent'papers and politicianare fin ing that out just new. So true is this the ase with some of them that it would be far n ore creditable for them to throw off the mask, give Tup the farce of playing the indep nd- ent role, and come out in their true col rs. It would surely be a relief to themse yes and their readers.-. , The Premier in Manitoba. Sirf Charles Tupper, Premier of the Domi ion, accompanied by ., Hon. ugh John Macdonald, the new4!_ appoi ted Minister of the Interior, visiteil Winn peg last week, and fired off the first gun in the politiCal campaign on the Conservative ide, in the Prairie City. The reports of th re- ception tendered the distinguished , visitors by the Manitobans, vary considerably, ac- cording to the political views of th re- porter. According to the reports in me of the Conservative papers, the mini ters were given a great ovation, the equ 1 of which for warmth and enthusiasm has ev- er before been witnessed in that part of the country. The reports in the Liberal pa ers, I however, go to show, that while the re, ep- tion Was respectful and hearty, it was !not nearly so marked as the Conserve we papers , would lead the public to believe. For 'instance, the Conservative organ, the Winnipeg Nor'Wester, declares that 1the recent big demonstration and Sir Charles' speech have .wori_back all the weak-kneed Conservatives, and assured Hugh' John's re- turn,lwhile the Liberal organ, the Trib ne, says 1 "The personal popularity of High Johniwill not count for five votes agc4ns the tide (;) popular anger that has be aroused at his audacity in asking Wi peggers to stand up and take their m d eine. .. He will be engulfed on the 23r1. Reading between the different reports, on may safely cbme to the conclusion that .1 reception given the Premier and his tiol league was very cordial. But that it ' ill have 4ny appreciable result on the pend ng electien, is oubtful. Winnipeg is a n- servative cit, and but for the determ I a - tion of the G vernmeat to coerce Mani oba in school matters, would, unquestiona ol y, return a reprJesentative to support a C n- 1. 0 servative Grernment. - But, as matt rs now „are, there is a fightingchance fo a Liberal. The people of ManitOba, and p r- ticularly tho e of Winnipeg, aee ititens ly loyal to thei province, and are jealous of its rights, a d when any attmpt is.m de by the 'Feder 1 authority to i terfere w th what they co sider its r hts, they 1sta • d up for their roviace in prefernce to th ir party, every time. Sir Charle Tupper 4id Mr. -Macdon Id, in their speeches, both dared in v ry unmistakeable terms, the policy of th Government to be remedial legielation. his, of course, is offensive, to it, the people of Manitoba, and. Mi. Macdon Id aggravated t e offense by declaring that though he he is ersonally in favor of natiooal , schools, and opposed to separate schools, 1 e is prepared, for the sake of the - Govern- ment, to abandon his own convictions, aid assist in placing upon Manitoba a system Ito a country is, could- seriously e such wild scheme as the con this Hudson's Bey railway. has expended millions of dol structing the Canadian Pacific has just completed a canal at many millions more, for the pose of facilitating trade betwe provinces and the great Northw and also giving the Northwest the sea board, and now Sir Ch says his Government is pledg millions more in constructing t By railroad, an enterprise wh oh, if ik will. do anything at all, will- carry trade from and seriously injure the C.

Mr., Laurier made the iirortait an- nouncement that if he is retu ned 4 the forthcoming election,. he will appoint Sir Oliver 'Vowel at the head of a commission to enquire into the Manitoba chooi ques- tion, to negotiate with the Mani oba Legis- lature and arrange a peaceful settlement, and one which will be just and atisfactory to all parties concerned. This • 'ould be an excellent move, and one which ould be al- most certain to solve the di culty. It would be a vast improvement on the. harsh, imperfect and ill conceived re edial bill, which the present Government propose to inflict upon the country. Sir Oliver has proven very successful in matt rs 6f,this kind before now, and there would be little doubt of his success in this instance also. Mr. A. F. Mulheron, presi ent of the Cornwall and Stormont Conserv: tive Asso- ciation, has written to the AK; cia0on re- signing his position, and stating that here- after h.o intends to cast his lo with the Liberal party. The reason he assigns for that course is, that he cannot lo ger iadorse the reckless administrative po icy of the Conservative party, as shown by the rapid and alarming increase in the •ublie debt and expenditure, and the scam alous management in the public works and other departments, as instanced by he Curran bridge and other scandals. Mr. Mulheron has not only been a leading me ber of the party, but has been a prominen citizen of the town, having at various time held the - important positions of mayor, re ve, etc. It will be remenabered that so e time ago the statement went forth that s me of the horses shipped from this countr to the old country, had been found to be ffected by glanders, and that as a result of this, there was a danger that the horses of t is ceuntry would be refused admission t the old country markets. This report er ated con- siderable alarm in this country a the time. All interested, however, will n w be re- lieved to learn that a more thoro gh inves- tigation by the authorities in the old coun• try. reveals the fact that Canadan horses are all right, and that it wa from the United States that the diseas d a imals came. This being the case, Cana ian ioraes will not be interfered with.
