SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, June 19th, 1896
• The Nomitiaaitena.
At the nominations, which took place
throughout the Dominion on Tuesday last,
the Liberals scored a 'point, although a
small one, but at such a time as this, eveh
small favors are thankfully received. The
net result is that there will be conteets ii
208 out of 213 constituencies. There. are
- only five fortunates. who have been elected
by acclamation. These are, the; Patron ia
Frontenec, two Liberals in Quebec, and two
Conservatives in the seam province. In
two other Quebec conetituencies there are
two Liberals opposing each other in each
constituency. The net results, therefore, of
Tuesday's operations, are as follows: The
Government have two supporters elected ;
the opposition have two elected, with a
surety of two more, no matter what the re-
-"suit on election day, with one Patron elect-
ed to hack them up. The Government
Party, therefore, 'enter the contest on Tues-
• day next handicapped by an adverse vote of
three against them. May this not be taken
as an index of the final result on Tuesday
next?'
MISOD•WPOI••••••
Old Huron.
From the most reliable information at our,
command, we are in a position to say that
on Tuesday next the three Hurons will
range themselves on the Liberal side as us-
ual. In West Huron Mr. Cameron, the old
Liberal standard bearer, is putting up a
splendid fight, with the very best assurance
that the electors will repeat the verdict of
January last, when they gave him such a
handsome majority. There are still three
candidates in the field there, Mr. 'McLean,
the etraight Conservative, who stands on
the Tupper platform with both feet ; Mr.
a.0 independent P. P. A., and a Tap-
perite also, in everything but the remedial
legislation, and air. Cameron, whois the
champion of Liberalism, conciliation, good
government and freedom. There is talk of
either McLean or Kelty withdrawing, but
it won't make much difference either way,
as Mr. Cameron is almost certain to win.
In East Huron there never was any
doubt, and although Mr. Dickenson is do-
ing his best, and probably better than any
other Conservative in the riding could do,
his is a hopeless mission. He was, in fact,
beaten before he began. We mud warn our
fiends in East Huron, howe ver, against a
feeling of over confidence. They have been
having so easy a contest, and have been car-
rying things so much their own way,
throughout the campaign, that they are in
danger of feeling that victory is so sure that
there is not the necessity for active and
vigorous action that there wauld be in
hotly contested election. They should bear
in mind, however, that eternal vigilance id
the price of victory, and that it is far better
to have a majority of five hundred, as it
should be in East -Huron, than to be left in,
a minority of one, brought' about by over
confidence. We say, therefore, to the
friends of Dr. McDonald, in. East Huron,
sleep not on your arms, bat have your re-
f -
sources all marshalled, and be sure that not
one vote is left unpolled on election day.
In our own South Huroe we have to giv
the same warning as in E
with additional emphasis.
making as strong a figh,
strong opponent and a :Aro
him, and if his majority' is
not be his fault. But ho
able and energetic he may be, he can not do
it all himself. South Huron is so terribly
one sided that lethargy and over certainty
arealways to be feared,end never more than
on. the present occasion. NVe have head'
some good Liberals in South. Huron say:
"Mr. McMillan is so sure of election
that it does not make much diff rence
-whether we go out to vote or not." This
is a dangerous feeling to get abroad and
should there be many such, they night
bring about a Liberal defeat, even in oath
Horon. We, therefore, feel it our dt ty to
urge as strongly as we can upon the iber-
st Huron, only
Mr. McMillan is
as if he had
g party against
reduced it will
over active and
els of this riding not to ran any risks ; it is
not safe. Were such a thing possible that
Ma McMillan should be defeated, those
who neglected to vote would feel pretty
badly, rued would have just cause to reproach
themselves. It is always best not to run
any risks.
- The last gerymander has given auronites
• family interest in constituencies really
outside of -.our own county and not known
by our owe name. Huron has two munici-
palities, Stephen and Exeter, _hi North
Middlesex,, for election purposes, and. one,
Usborne, in:South Perth. In North Mid-
dlesex a well known Huronite, in the person
of Me. Valentine Ratz, is the Liberal candi-
date, and his many friends in this county
will be pleased to learn that, his chances for
victory are daily growing brighter. At the
last election his opponent, Mr. Hutchins,
was elected by a majority of Mx, and it is
'said that if the ballots had not been fugiled
with he would notha,ve had even thatnumber.
. ,
It will thus be seen that the riding is pretty
close. ' There was a Patron candidate in the
field, but he has withdrawn, and thus Mr.
Ratz' chances have been improved, and the'
general opinion hi that he will be elected. In
Smith Perth there is still a three -cornered'
fight, and it is likely to remain that way
.until the finish. • Mr. D. K. Erbds the Lib-
eral candidate. He is a farmer; a capital
speaker, and in every way a most eligible
man? ' He is opposed by the late member,
Mr. Pridham, who defeated the late ' Mr:
Trow at a by-election, and who is a straight
Tiipperite of the strictest sect, but a very
eatimable and popular men personally, and
had he displayed more indeperidence in his
course in Parliament -would now be a very
u
hard, man to b4t. .t. The third man is a Mr.
Donald, who coas t es forward a Patron and
P. P. A. Both these organizations are said
to be strong hi the riding, and that Mr.
Donald will draw from both the other can-
didates. Our advices are, however, that
Mr. Erb is winning friends fast, and that if
the Liberals work as earnestly as the justice
of their cause and the merits of theft- can-
didate deserves,South Perth will once more
take its old place in the Liberal ranks.

A Few Last Words.
HE .
• Before, another issue of. T.ENPOSTOR
reaches its. readers, the great political battle
now in progress in this eouatry will have
closed, and the electors will .have rendered
their verdict. What that :verdict will be,
it is impossible to say. As Sir John Ma&
donald used to say, there is nothing in this
life more uncertain than an -election and a
horse race.. While that is true with - regard
to any election, it is doubly true in respect.
to the present•°rte. there are so many difi
ferent issues and so many different contend-
ing forces that have not existed in former
.contests, that it is impossible for any per-
son, no Matter how Observant, or how ad-,
vantageous their. facilities for gaining infor-
mation may -be, to estimate in advance the
influence which any one of these, much' less
all of them combined, may have upon the
general result. All that any one' can ay is,
that never before in the history of the Lib-
eral party, have they appealed to the coun-
try under More favorable or Ipromising cir-
cumstances, and never before, especially
since the time of the Pacific. Emended, have
the Coeservative party appealed to the
country -under such. -unfavorable circuits -
stances, and so severely :handicapped iby
their surroundings. They have to face he
severest commercial depression that has x-
isted in the country daring the life of he
present generation, and that too, notWi h-
standieg the most profuse promises hi. at
their policy would certainly bring pros-
perity unprecedented. The people took
them at their worcleand time and again, on
the strength of these promises; ave re-
newed their confidence and meardec them a
renewed- lease of office and powe . But,
with each renewed lease of powe , there
earn; instead of prosperity, inere sed ad-
versity,'until now the people 'are almost
crying out in despair. Most peo le Joel
that thea are now as bad off as they can be,
and that if a change does not make an im,
prevenient, it Can not possibly 'mak their
position Much worse. In, face they feel
that they have everything to gain aid noth-
ing to, rose by making a change. At the
bidding of their party leaders, the Conser-
vative party have for eighteen ye rs been
trying the expeeiment c;• making theinielves
rich by taxing themselves. They have been
going on the nrinciple U. at the higher they
raised their taxation th richer, they would
beeeme. It is not any wonder, therefore,
that they have been dis ppointed, and that
disaster has overtaken hem. We believe
that they now see the er or of their course,
and that at the epproae uag election many
will giva evidence of heir conversion by
going quietly to the ball'S box and deposit-
ing a ballot in oppositio to the caaulicia,tes
of those who have so frequently .and so
grossly deceivad them b their false prom-
ises.
There is idea another ource of hope, and
it is this: Many of the n oat intelligent Cop-
seavatives are. disgustea at the disclosures
of .correption and boodli g that . have been
made during the past fiv years. 'These are
Conservatives who desir clean and honest
Government. They know that. during the
past five years seandals ha.ve been unearthed
which have not only discredited the Conser-
vative Government, under whose auspices
they have taken place, but. have brought
disgrace upOn the country as well. They
know that between five 'nd- de millions- of
dollars of the hard earned money of the peo-
ple have' in this way been diverted from their -
proper ain
profitable us 8, and have been
1
pieced n the coffers of the MeGreevys, the
Cohnollys, the St..Louises and mena others
of like ilk, Whose names ate -only too. famil-
ier to the people., They also know that
-through transactions of this kind, the trees -
1 •
ury has been depleted,the public', expendi-
taree
. 'has been largely increased, and the
public debt has been built .up to such dan-
gerous 'proportions • that nearly half the
taxation of the country, high as it is, is re-
quired annually to pay the interest. • They
know also, that Many millions, estimated at
from ten to twelve millions, of dollars a
r, year, have been abstracted from the' people,
through the operations of the National
Policy, and have gone bite- the coffers of the
sugar combines, the cotton and other sime
ilar organizations, which should have gone
into the national treasury, and that had
these enormous amounts remained with the
people, for their legitimate uses, that much
of the depreesion and poverty, which they
have suffered would have been averted.
Knowing all this, is it any wonder that
they have resolved to abandon old party
'cries, -break away' from the trammels of
party, a.nd do their share to inaugurate a
new era, in which taxation' will be levied
for revenue only, and in. which clean and
economical Government will be ae leading
feetere. Those who have considered -the
matter in this light are not likely .either, to
be thrned aside from their purpose by the
• criea of Mercier boodling, the destruction of
our manufacturing industriee and similar
" boggies," which are so aptly raised by
professional politicians of the Tupper -Mon-
tagne school. But,whether there are enough
of these te turn the 'scales, election day
aline will tell. We believe there are.
If the Government, notwithstanding their
acknowledged corruption, extravagance and
gross mismanagement 4 the public affairs
of the country, and ithe palpable failure of
their fiscal policy, °Von promised anything
13
better for the futur, , there might be some
who Would feel disp taid to condone the sins
and shortcomings of the past, and at all
events, give them one more trial, but ther
is -not one ray of hope in this -direction.
Instead of promising reform and improve,
ment, the culprits seem to rather glory i
their shame. At l,eery point at which Si
Charles Tupper h ei appeared, he has no

open and known to, 11 who read and wis
to know, is it any wonder that many good
Conservatives hesitate to vote with the o
party and along old party lines? Inde
some Consereatives, es well as many Libe
als, are wondering if the old man has not'

vanity and pride to such an extent as to le

avoid the evil consequences o these pro -

unite -with the Liberals to do this, ad
hence we hope that Qtr' Tuesday next tlje

as well as the dangers which threaten it *n

4 few weeks Eigii the Senat of Toren o
University decided to confer on Profeser
Goldwin Smith the degree of L. L. De in
recognition of his great atta meats as a
eeholar, historian and Man of 1 eters. ; It is
alai e a common . practice for Universities
the world over to confer honor Of this kind
ripe men who, on account of heir superior
att inments, deserve them,-" irrespective la
thee political or religious beliefs. Ameri-
cen institutions frequently confer them en
Canadians, and vice versa. Bt no soonne,
did the action of Toronto Univ ratty in this
inst nee become known, than -hl great howl
of rotest was /raised' by the.! super -loyal,
pri eipaaly in./tomato. In this conneatien,
Jude Falemibridge has become especially
rep tation for bigotryand sniall mird d-
f
eon picuoei, and has earned for himself a
ness which one would hardly expect. He
was a member of Univereity Senate, and a
few days ago he published in the paper a
letter resigning his position and 'assigning
-as a reason for so doing the action of tihe
University in eenferring on Professor Smith
the honorary degree, because, e rsooth, that
gentleman is a believer in ancli advocate of
annexation. This letter: was ' °Hewed by
another from Colonel Dennison, olice nia, Is -
trate, of Toronto, also Strong y condenin-
ing the action of the Universit authorit es
for the same reasons as those given by Jtis-
lice Faleonbridge. No person would be
surprlsed at Colonel Dennison getting up his
beck at anything of that, kind, as he is an
acknow edged crank, but peoplr had a Iriiht
to expe abetter things from Jestice Faleen-
briege, nd his 'lotion is only another illus-
tration f how childish and silly prejudice
will can f even learned and sensible -men to
act sem times. We. may say that Profes or
Smith as set to his opponents an exam le
;
of good sense and toleration which shoald
do ther good and . probably ! make them
ashame of themselves. In a letter to the
Preside t oa the University he declines te
honor. The following is an extract frcm
his lett r, and perhaps more thoroughly rte.
veal' the &exacter of the man than any-
thing else could. He says:
I
When injpursuanee, as you said, of the
the unanimous vote -of the University Sen-
ate, you offered me an honoree" degree, you
were probably not aware that there would
be any opposition or manifestation of ill -
feeling in other quarters. For myself, ac-
customed to the manly and generous habits
of English gentlemen, who make it their
rule to lay aside political enmity in social
life, I could not anticipate that in a Matter
so remote from politics as the bestowal of an
academical degree, political [`antipathy
would find an occasion for its display. It
is now evident that I was mistaken, and
that this little compliment paid tia me as a
scholar is likely to bring to the University
more annoyance and disturbance of its
vesper dignity than anything of the kind
can possibly be worth. I will the efore beg
to withdraw my acceptance of the honorary
degree of Toronto University and1 rest con-
tent with that which has alreadyi been con-
ferred upon me by my own University of
Oxford. ,
,sTotes and Commen s.,
All the independent candidate have re-
tired in the county; of Middlesex, viz. : Mr.
T. O. Curry, the Patron cendid to in the
west riding'; Ma Taylor, the M Carthyite
candidate, in the east, and Mr( rock, the
Patron, in the north. It will Ow be a
straight fight between the Liberal and the
Tupp_erites.
In speaking of the South Perth election,
the Mitchell Recorder says; "So far as we
can read the signs and gather t e iudica-
tions, Mr. Donald is the real op anent of
Mr. Erb in the coutest. Of the township of
Usborne we know nothing, but u less /dr.
Pridhe.m has a strong hold there he isn't in
the fight at all with the other two." Mr.
Pridham, will, no doubt, get a good many
votes in Usborne, but our information is to
the effect 'that many of the old time Conser-
vatives will vote for Mr. Donald. .
During the past week two of the promin-
ent figures in Canadian politics in past
years, have passed away. On Saturday
last ldr. J. Gordon Brown, registrar of the
Surrogate Court, died at the residence of
his sister; in Guelph, where• he was making
a short visit. Deceased was a brother of
the late Hon, George Brown, and succeeded
his brother as ,editor of the Glohe.
He- was in his 69th year, and
leaves a widow and two sons. On
Wednesday of last week, Hon. D. A. •Mac
donald; ex -Lieutenant -Governor of Ontario,
died at his home in Montreal, after a long
and painful illness. Deceased was a brother
of the late Sandfield Macdonald, and was
Postmaster -General in Hen. Alex. Mc-
Kenzie's Go v.ern me nt.
Rev. Professor Gordon was elected mod-
erator of the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly at its opening meeting, in Toronto, last
week.. Professor Gordon is 51 years of age,
and was born in Pieter", Nova' Scotia. He
received his education in- Scotland, at Glas-
gow University, frotn which university he
graduated at an early age, taking the de-
gree ef M. A. He continued his theological
studies in the same place, taking the degree
of B.. D. He returned to Canada, and in
'1866 became minister of St. Andrew's
church, Ottawa. He remained in that
church until 1882, when he was called to
Knox !church, Winnipeg. In 1887 he was
called to St. Andrew's. church, Halifax, re-
maining there until 1894, when he was ap-
pointed to the chair of systematic theology
and apologetics, at the Presbyterian Col-
lege, Halifax, frequently known as the Pine
Hill Seminary. About a year ago the de-
gree of 1). D. was conferred upon him by
his alit& Mater, Glasgow University.
