Ia South Huron, where the Grits jare hived, it looked, at one time, as if Mr. c• Millen, the nomiece of the Liberal Con en. tion, was going to have an easy 'walk over. The Conservatives held a couple of meetings, i - and several gentlemen were named as pots - able candidates, but ail declined entering on, a contest which promised certain def at, c, and their conferences resulted in no aeiion beingtaken. Taking advantage of this ir- cumstance; Mr. George MeEwen, of 'rental!, county councilor and ex -Warden of Hu on, has entered the field, and is now a dan. didate. Mr. Meltwen is a Liberal, and is now and has been for several years president of the Liberal Association of South Huron, as constituted for Provinelal purposes, and he assures us that he takes the field ajs a supporter of the Government, and will c n- tiaue in the field only in the event of he Conservativea not bringing out a candid te. , It will thus be a family fight. Respect ng its merits, we May have more to say n xt week, when matters develop. But, w at- , . ever may be the result of the election, he Liberal Government is sure of a suppo ter from South Huron. In Est Huron, Dr. McDonald and ;Lir. Dickenson are holding union meetings. The doctor is inuels more than -a match for his opponeet on the platform, and is suceeeding well bilis private canvas. It is likely to be a close fight, but thereete little doubt aiut the doctor will more than hold his own on election day. We are pleased to hear most encourag ng .. , reports from _West Huron. Bobh candi- dates are making a diligent -personal caritas. Mr. Holmes, the Liberal -candidate, is re. Quitting encouraging indieations of suppOrt from unexpected quartes, and will hold regular supporters solidi so that the expe . times are that he will cbriaiderably incre the majority he secured at the last elect): It is, therefore, as certain as anything his ta- se in the future can be,that old Huron will aglsin send a solid contingent to Ottawa to sup - part the Laurier Government. We also hear most favorable reports frem both South and North Perth. Our inforina- tion from these constituencies is to the effect that Mr. Erb is almost certain of re-election i S n outh Perth, while, if Mr. Goetz does not beat Mr. MeLaren, he will give him a very close run. Ife is gaining in the rural nailed • cipalities, and, if Stratford can be kept to ite old vote, Goetz will win. A Triumphal March. The tour of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in this province, which commenced at Toronto on Tuesday of last week and closed at Park- hill on Saturday, was, truly, a triumphal march. He spoke at Toronto, Stratford, Wallaceburg, Amherstburg and Parkhil. From the published reports it would lae difficult to say which ot the meetings was - the moat successful, His Toronto meetingi- or rather meetings, as he had to addreee three meetings, there being no building in the city large enough to hold the throng of people who desired to see and hear him, mad two over -how meetings had'to be organized -was thel most successful as ud enthusiae0c demonstration ever held in that city. Tli is achnittekl by all, both Conservatives a d Reformers. This, too, is all the more re- markable, as Toronto is notorious for is Toryisin. Oub‘, of six members whom it sent to the last Parliamept oly ona was a Liberal, and every person was surprised when he was elected. That such a plac therefore, should tender such a receptiOn - to the Liberal leader is, to say the least, re- markable. At Stratford, on the followinjg night, the demonstration, considering t e size of the place, Was equally successful and the greeting extended the Premier equal' warm and cordial. The rink in which ti e meeting was held is said to be capable V • seating eeven or eight thousand people, an net oaly was the entire seating room occ • , pied, but the peefle were actually standing on eaeli other, so crowded war the morn. At Parkhill again an Stitarday there was the same story to tell. The largest buil+ ing in the place was not only packed, but hundreds were unable to get within ite door. The meetings, alio, were as cordial and enthusiastic as they were large. - Now, these meetings, so phenominal- ly sueceseful in every respect, as they were , niust earry feline sigeitieatice wi th t hem I People do not turn out in suet) large num- bers merely threugh cariosity and to greet . those whom they dislike! or distrust Strong and attractive as the personality of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is, there is nof enough in this to attraet to his meetinge siteh threnge of people of all elapses and condisione. TI,ere must. be ehmething more than this. The only conclueion we can come to is, that the people recognize in Sir Wilfrid Laurier a clean and honest statesman and the leader of a government and party that have honestly tri d to. do the best in their power for theloo ntry. It is gratify.ng to see that the peop e do ap- preciate this. Of couree there is. othing so destructive to the pretensiona of prophesy as an election,and it would not e safe to say, ati Sir Charles Tupper does, that we are sure o victory. But, if, appears cm count for an thing, even those who are prejudice blind ust see the writing on the all in so far as the Conservative partyis . oncerned, andi net conclude in their hear s that a eweep'eg victory awaits the Lib ral party on th 7th of November. Shoul this be the ca e, well as they have done i the past, the p ople will not 'be sestisfied 1 they do not h ve even better from them: n future, and i this respect ,we have ni fear -in Proph eying, and we have no he Ration in &Lyle , they will not be disappoin d. Sir Wilfrid Lander was acco pealed in his 0 tario tour by Lady Lau ier, who atten eed all his meetings with him and seems to be as poPular with the ladies as her istinguishecl husband is «ith the eterner sex. Edite rial Notes and Co ments. The Goderich Star says : " he honest elect° s of West Huron eau now, restore to Robert McLean the goods that w re stolen from lin." , There is no doubt that as a whole the electors of West Huro are hon- est, a d if the Star can convince hem that goods were stolen from Mr. Mc ean, they will, #0 doubt, restore them to hi . But, it is ver hard to convince people w o can see that white is black. s The eportamen throughout Mai countiry are i deep tribulatien. Elect on week comes on during open season for hunting, and if they go to Muskoka to shoot- deer, they Will lose their votesand if hey stay at borne to vote, they will miss ti best of the sport, Applieation has been made o the Provincial authorities to e. tend t e season tor hunting, but Hon. J. . Gibson, the A torney-General, has given it as his opinio that the open season for deer cannot be cha ged. The season is fixed y act, of ,Parliai ent, and without- another act could not be altered. 1 Women wilt vote. for Peesidential candie dates in four States this election, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho: It is said that woman suffrage has brought about two things, one being ordei at the pcdli g booth, and another a distinct appeal lc d cency in the Personal qualifieations of the c ndidates nominated by al! parties. On t e other hand, enme of the men who havpa paid con- .siderable attention to the subje0 say' that the introduction Of the women' - ote into - the political situation has brought about an uncertainty and disturbance of normal polit- ical coiaditions that is " useless and anney- ing "-to the men, of course. A private letter received at, Ottawa, a few days ago, from a commercial gentleman iu Halifax, who is not re, politician, and is not taking any part in phlitics, but who en- joys excellent opportunities of guaging the trend of public sentiment in -the laritime Provincee, says : ¶' Matters poll ical are progreSsing most favorably for L berale in the Maritime Provinces. Cape reton Is- land is, loalced uppn as solid, wit out ex- ception, while on the mainland, Nova Scotia Liberals stand to win one seat in Halifax, one in Pictou and one in Annapolis - * The Toronto Telegram very tr ly says: "Phe Presbyterian Review insists that the average speaking ability in the ulpits of Canada is far higher than the average speaking ability of the bar or the latform. Few ministers are as bad speakers as most lawyere. There is no minister in Canada who would not empty his church if he offer- ed a :congregation the dull and formlesa masses of empty verbiage which o many secular audiences swallow as politcal ora- tory." Mr. John Gentles, the well kno n horse man, of Kincardine, was nominate ,by the Conservatives of Weet Bruce as th ir candi- date. Mr. Gentles is very popula in that _part of the country, and woulden doubt, have made a stron,g run, but, unli e many others, he had the 'good Sense to k ow that be was not fitted for the position even if elected; and consequently declined e nom- ination. It would be a good thing if many °there, in both parties, who have n knowl- edge of 'public affairs, and who Can not do either t emselves or their constituen s credit in sudh position. would profit by the ex- ample feet them by Mr. Gentles., He is a shrewd business man, but there a e other qualification& requisite for a credit ble par- liamentary repreeentative. There aro too many lee ting machines in Parliamen , repre- senting poth political parties, w o, if it would save their lives could not ive an intelligent reason in public for the fa'th that is in the -n.

An arrangement has been come to by the parties in that riding that if Mr. Seagram is 'allowe to run the gauntlet unopp sed, the eandidate for the Lbeal Legislature will also he elected witho t opposition. Mr. Breithaupt, who was el cted to the leegislature for this con- stitue cy, was unseated by the election court. An appeal rom this decisOn was taken: to!the Court of Appeal at T ronto. It ha been hangi g up in that co rt for over a year. The a peal, however, c me up the °hese day, and ith the consent of the counsel for the ap ellant, the appeal was dismissed. The c nstitueney, th refore, will die declared v cant, and the iberal candidate, whoever may be selected, ill, in turn, be elected y accalamation., Mr. Bitzer, who was eeleeted by the Liberals to oppose Seagram for the Commons, on ac- count of this saw ofT, has withdrawn. The local election has ben fixed for th same day as the Dominion Lust week the de ectives.conheete with the AttorneyeGener l's 'department' at To- ronto were sent out hrOugh the cou try to hunt up and corral all the tra.mP.. they could find ancl have them sent to prison to perform hard labor. A year ago, when out ou similar mission, they were- kep •busy for weeks handling the tramps. This year they have had little or nothing to do, laving received reports from all 'parts of the Pro- vince to the ff th ps have never been so scarce in year's. This is .attr bitted to the action of the department. in laving sent down for vagrancy eny tramp that were found loitering about the countr :last year, and consequently the genus t amp, who has a dread of anything like 1 onesteI e TitE toil, has, taken his departure for gree er pasturesswhere tramps are not so closely looked after- by the authorities. Perhaps some enthusiastic politicians may say that it is the good times brought about by he Laurier Government that -has wiped out the trainp business. A correspondent, who has a good mem ry, stays, respecting the date fixed for the o. minion elections.: " The choice of Wed ea - day as the day of polling attracts some at- tention, as -it is only the second tino ii 95 years that this day has been seIeote1 for the purpose, all the other elections having t en place on a Tuesday." ----- During the Premier's recent vi it to the caunty of Lambton, and on the arriv I of the party at Sarnia, the Boys' Bri de formed, up in open order, and Sir Wil rid and Lady Laurier passed through the eh er- ing throng to the carriages th,at wer in waiting, There was a public reception, nd the dietinguished guests must have shaken at least one thousand hands. .This is an- other duty that the Premier's wife assumes very gracefully, and says nothing about it. Lady Laurier makes a' pleasant task ot i it, for she; is very fond of little children', all the more so, perhapS, as she has never 'had any other oval, and he pretty ones sone - times she kisses. Among those who pa sed -before the dais was Pat Pellet, old la1t,, "Blind Pat," one of the characte a of the town, who, though sightless, st pped to tell the Premier that he had a blit e he rt, and Lady Laurier that she was happy woman. ,The Single Taxers are taking ste represented before the assessment sion, appointed by the Ontario Gov and which will meet; shortly in 1Eoroto. The Single Taxers can make out a most plausible case, but whether their system wouldnvork out as well in practise as it looks in theory, we are not prepare to s s t�j be com is- rnm nt, Y. Theyfavor the reform of taxation ir the li. rection of exempting buildings persona ty and income, and collecting the entire = ax from land. From the actual assessment of well known city properties, manuf ctur ng and mercantile establishments, it was sho n at a recent meeting in Hamilton, that t is would mean a standing encouragementof 410, 50 and in one case, 85 per cent. of ahe pr s- ent tax, whilein the cti.,se of valuable pl ts of -land, held nearly or entirely idle, the ax would go up, 90 snd 100 per cent. he general impulse which Ole would , give to manufacturing, to building and tc trac e, was pointed out. And as it is in B:amilt n BO, they claim, it would be in everly ot er municipality, to a greater or lesser extent Sir -Charles Tupper visited Toronto 1 st Saturday, and - after spending the clay in- close conference 'with leading COnser .a- tives of the city, and settling: iisliepu ,es among opponents, attended three rneeti gs in different parts of the city in the evenir g, delivering three. addresses, the last, one c• eupying over an hour. This is a pre ty _ good day's work for a man verging en four- score years. It is, perhaps, Sir Charles' great bete the' . • eps him up. In reply to the question, se% al the Conservative Peaty win ?" "1 have clot the slightestoak of 41 it," replied Sir Charles, emphatical y.. He predicted a Coneervative sweep in Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia he clai s fifteen of the twenty seats. The Liber Is in Quebec, Sir Charles asserts, are paradyZsd' with fear. He looks for an increased n as jority in New Brunewick, and in the W • Eit overwhelming defeat of the Administrath n. In Oatario also the outlook is to Sir Cheri 8' liking -it promises suceess to the Oppo '- Mon. With all his gifts, Sir Charles s, evidently, not a designer of the sign e of t e times, or aloe he is whistling to keep is courage up. Live horse flesh, if it can be got to mo.e fast enough, is good property. Rep rt. says "John D. Cr ighton, of Omaha, has offered $25,000 for Charley Herr (2.b7), the famous Kentucky trotting stallidn. David Cahill, a poor dairyman, who boug t the horse and two others for $25, wa ts $50,000 for him. The kind of trian Hoi. Clifford Sifton is may be judged, in some measure, by a ata e- ment he madein an adc1rss he recently • e livered in Hartney, Manitoba. A questi n on the matter of prohibition was address d to him in writing by a committee, and, 'n reply, the Miniater clearly defined his po 1 - tion as follows : He is a firm believer n prohibition and always has been. He d d not know the taste 6f liquor, but was a prohibitionist by birth, education and free - Lice, and on his position as eefined in his remarks he was prepared to stand or fa l, either in or out of Parliament. --- The question as to whether Hon. Cliffo d Sifton or Sir Chailes Hibbert Tupper h d the best of the argument at their union mee ing in Brandon, recently, has been warm discussed by the newspapers on either ei of politics, the Liberal papers claiming th Zhe laurels of victory rested with Mr. Si ton, and the Tories with equal vehemen assereing that'Tupper pt4ed himself cham- pion. Thefollowing arouncement, whic is certified to by the pre ident and secretar of the Indepeudent Association of Brando constituency, should settle the matter. is as follows: "The Independorit Exec tive, having been preee t at the rneetin between Sir Hibbert upper and Ho Clifford Sifton, held in randon, -on Satu day evening, October 13th, and havin heard both these gentle en fully regardin the Yukon matters, and having heard th apology of Sir Charles Iupper for charge made against Mr. Sifto and Mr. Philip we are instructed by it to strongly advis the electors to use their vote and influenc for the election of the If n.
