Justice IDIRdennaa on Satu day. heard the appeal of Mr. Du ley Holmes, the defeated Conserv., tive candidate at the P.rovitacial e eetio,n in West Huron, from t e judgment of judge Doyle, wbiolb gave the mat to Mr. M. G. Camero IC. C., be a majority of. two. T sm.aaness ef the majority gave a somewhat ,Iteen interest to the le - eel contest, which eves esseetuc beide by Mr. IE. L. Dickenson of Goclerich, for the appellant, and Mr, J. ife Killor.an, for Mr. Cameron. , The Conservatives opened with ttia .attack on a ballet where the °roes was supposed to he betwete the blanks opposite the candidates 110.371eS and it is uncertain which, if any candidate -the vote was inten ed. It was ,coanted for Cameron b came on iinge t OA the intersechi.o of the lines of the cross WAS fou,n to lie a small fraction of an Inch bove the line, and not on it, as a pears on a casual inspection. Th petitioner contends thee the cros should be runmistakeably above the line, and that no artificial jtids should be ;used to determine what the voter's intention was as he tha3. none_ in making the mark. A more .dou.btful ease ,was tha,t which occurred (at the Holeriesville poll, where the deputy returning officer seems to have torn off [two ballots from the book, which adt. herd together. Ile then made th necessary 'initials on the back o the under one, but the voter mark't ed the upper one for .Holmes. Both were put in the box together, fbut they became separated'and the marked ballot appeared at the close without -the ,.aeoessaey initials. Judgment was eeserved upon both these eases, as well as upon tthe Goderich case, where all the ballots bore numbers corresponding- -to those of the voters in 'the poll book. This was held to be fatal in ithe Tee cent .Wentwerhh, lease, which was a Dominion election, but it as contend- ed that the Orrtario act has ta. pro- vision, preventing the disfratiehise- meet of' the voter because of (mis- takes, of election, officials. It the appeal judge should take this view Mr. Cameron will still hold. the seat by a naejority of one, even if the ballot with the doubtful cross is discarded. The shooting is gradual- ly getting closer to:the mark. It is stated, -that both partiee have greed that legal peoceedings will close with. Justice- Maclennan's de- cision. Whichever is declared to have the seat by him will e allew- ed to 'retain it without further mo- lestation. for the preeept legiela- tire term. • The Way They Look At It.' The wa-y the present position is viewed' by Conservatives lie, no doubt, very ,accuirateler outlined !by "A Hur-, Conservative"on in .the following let ber to the Teronito News'.
