The Elections.
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away, and returns are received
With a degree Of acourraoy, the net
tteult can be more accurately learned
• that it could last week. Throughout
the Province Mr Mowat has has been
• 19ustained by a majority of 18, being
6 less than he had in the last house.
In East Durham a Liberal Equal
Rights Candidate was elected over the
Ceneervative,and he is likely to give Mr
• '• Mowat his support on the general poli-
ey of the government, so that Mr
Mowat ahas a good majority to work
with. The seats gained by the Liberals
were, N Grey, S. Grey, W. Yiastings,
Nipissing, S. Norfolk, N. Perth, Parry
Sound, W. Victoria. Those gained
by the Conservatives are Victoria E.,
Elgin E., Essex N, Hamilton, Lincoln
Ontario N, Prince Edward,N. Renfrew:
E. Sirecoe, Welland, Algoma E. Some
of the majorities are very small, there
being nine on the Conservative side
that are under 50, among this is one
gghose majority is only 1, and another
whose majority is 4. There are none
on the Reform side under 50, and the
.majorities then run up to 1,400. The
4'fgnres given are not yet complete, but
it is quite evident that Mr Mowat has a
large majority lef the popular vote.
When the efforts made to defeat him
are taken into account, his victory is a
very significant one, and shows that
the good sense of the people cannot be
led away by sectarian issues. We
would not have been surprised had his.
losses been even greater than they are,
• and are quite satisfied with the majority
that he has. The defeat of a couple of
Ministers is unfortunate, but it has
happened before, though never that we
are awareof, for -Reform Ministers in
Ontario. Sir John himself has on
several occasions been defeated, and his
Ministers have at different times met
with a reverse, so that there is no par-
ticular significance in this fact.
fie Reformers at any rate the result
generally is satisfactory. They felt
hat they were supporting a govern-
ent that had been honest in its ad-
ministration, and had labored for the
best interests of the Province generally,
and Mr Mowat will continue to work
'in the interest of all and for the bene-
fit of none in particular."
•
The Result in Hutton.
We never had any - other idea but
that the three Hurons would remain
.true to Liberalism. It was admitted
by Conservatives themselves, that in
the East,Musgrove had no chance what-
ever. Like the Conservative candidate in
the south, he was paid hisexpenses and
loss of time by the association, and was
therefore, filling a gap that a purely
local man would not fill. We had no
idea, though, that he would be so badly
beaten, and we know of an instance
where a supporter of hie offered on the
day of the election, to wager that Mus-
grove would get 70 of a majority in the
Riding. Mr Gibson's majority was 70
less in Grey than at last election, 48
'more in Brussels, 63 more in Hullett, 34
less in Morris, 59 less in Turnberry, 11
less in Wroxeter, and 225 more in Mc-
Killop, giving him a total majority of
.503 or 60 more than he had before.
in the South Riding the Conservative
�oandidate developed considerable more
strength than even his supporters looked
for. On the platform he is a hustler,
even if his regard for the truth is some-
times not what it should be. He had a
heavy majority to contend against, and
he palled it down. But the majority at
the last election in this riding was no
real test of the strength of the two
parties, tts we pointed out several
weeks ago. There were factors in the
contest four years ago that gave Mr
Bishop a larger majority than he
would otherwise have had. Mr
Biebop lost considerable support
in both Tuokeramith township
and Hay whore a number of Reformers
are dentiful with the Equal Rights
movement. Seaforth gave Bishop
105 of a majority this time, being
19 less than before ; in Tuckersmith
be got 258 againts 273, in Stephen
he got 74 against 156, in Hay 150
against 281 ; in Usborne Holmes
got 80 of a majority, against 27 last
time; in Stanley he got 31 against 3;
Goderich township gave him 107 against
104; Bayfield 63 against 42, and in
Exeter 148 against 178. Mr Bishop's
final majority is 158. In the West
Riding the result only differs from the
expectations of the Reformers in point
of nnmbers. A majority of 150 was
expected. Both oandidatee being new
to political life made the contest uncer-
tain, bocauee it was known that Mr
Roberts would get the entire Conserve -
vote, while it was not so sure that Mr
Garrow would get all the Reform. In
Clinton, the Conservatives counted on a
majority of at least 45 or 50, and the
fact that they only got 19, shows how
well the Liberals jiworiced, especially
when they bad to over Dome the feeling
that existed beoause a Clintonian did
not receive the nomination. It is not
fair to compare the votes of Mr Garrow
with those of Mr Ross,becaure the latter
wag •an old parliamentarian, and be-
cause Mr Roberts was personally a very
strong opponent. Under the circum-
stances Mr Garrow's majority of 112 is
a good one.

Below wo give a low extracts from
the Nowa-Record of Juno 4, together
with our comments thereon:—
"The decision of the people will come
on the 5th of June. Let no oxonse be
made. for w universal regieteringef -that
decision by voting for Meredith candi-
dates."
The decision of the people did come,
and we hope no excuses will be made
for the universal registering of that
decisiou. It is a decision that will be
final.
" I''rum the East, A. H. Musgrove,
,come reports of approval of the candi-
date and the Meredith platform that is
making mossback Gibson wish
he had not sacrificed his principles."
A majority of 503 is not bad for
"mossback Gibson."
-On the 5th of June Mr Mowat'e
government will be defeated because
they have pandered to Archbishop
Cleary and the destructiou-of our Pub-
lic School system.
Mr Mowat,is walking to his political grave
By the thick footprint of departed principles
As he is not defeated, a parity of
reasoning would show that he had not
pandered to Archbishop Cleary, and
As distance lends enchantment to the view.
And Mowat's backward steps are slow and
few;
It will be days and years long yet to come,
Before, iu truth, it can be said "The Grits
are on the ruu."
A telegram in the Empire, on Satur•
day, stated that "John G. Holmes, the
Conservativecandidate is South Huron
on his way from Exeter to Wingham,
was cheered at all the stations." Our
readers can easily form an idea of the
"crowd" there would be at such stations
as Bruce field, Londesboro,Belgrave, etc,
and the -cheers" that would be given by
the station agent at these places, who
is usually the only one around. John
G. is evidently gifted with an elastic
imagination, as it was he who furnished
the Empire with its extravagant reports
from South Huron while the campaign
was in progress.
•-•
The
The Toronto Globe was the only
paper in the city that supported the
government, and it did excellent ser-
vice throughout the campaign.
Our journalistic friends, who have
this week the unpleasant task of ex-
plaining just why Meredith was not
successful, have our sympathies. We
have an idea what the job would have
been like had the case bean reversed.

Eltctiou Notes.
Manhood suffrage was in force in
Ontario for the first time on Thursday,
and the young men of the .province
voted for Mowat and Reform. •
Had not the Equal Rights issues been
raised Mr Mowat would have made a
clean sweep. Ris strength was in his
record for economical, careful and able
administration.—Montreal Witness.
The British Columbia elections take
place on the 14th and the Quebec elan•
tions on the 17th of this month. Nova
Bootie and Ontario having shown the
ay, there is little doubt that both
provinces will elect Reform Govern-
ments.
1f Mr Mowat retains his physical
powers sufficiently to get through this
term his will be the Longest continuous
Premiership on record under the 'Brit-
ish parliamentary system since respon-
sible government obtained a firm foot-
hold. •
Hon Jacob Baxter, speaker of the
last Ontario Legislature, who has been
elected for Haldimand by an increased
majority, is the only charter member
of the Assembly. He has sat continu-
ous15 for the historic county since Con
federation.
Mr Bronson's Majority in Ottawa
(over 1400) is the largest given to any
candidate in the recent Ontario election.
Mr O'Connor's 900 in South Bruce
comes next, and Mr Robillard's appar-
ently comes next with 8:35 in Russell,
all Reformers.

Nr Drury Iacoanao of tete Itolioy of the
government in selling its timber lands
to the highest bidder, instead of par-
celling them out ata nominal price to
political favorites, as is done by the
Federal Government. Mr Drury has
thus been made a martyr to economical
government, and as each will be more
highly honored and 'respected by all
good men than had he been returned to
Parliament by the popular vote. Mr
Drury'e opponent was a lumberer, and
is a very popular man.
The biggest thing in connection with
the election occurred at Stratford, on
Saturday. T. B. Mothersill, local
manager of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, and D. D. Hay, deputy
26 registrar, made a wager on the election
25 that the loser sIias to wheel the- other
26 in a barrow two blocks along Ontario
and Market streets at high noon on
113 Saturday. Both streets were lined
with spectators to witness the event.

73 There are reports going about to the
71 effect that Mr Meredith is about to
67 retire from the leadership of the Con-
- servative party in Ontario, and that the
211 charge will devolve upon Mr A. R.
• Boswell or Mr E. King Dodds. [E.
62 King Dodds would make a nice leader
50 for any party.]
71 Mr J. M. Gibson,the defeated Provin-
47 e'al Secretary, is credited with saying:
230 -- "I am tired of public life, and, as I said
before, I want to get away from it all.
I have made up:my mind to become a
citizen, to enjoy my home comforts
and, unless I change my mind, I will
not again become a member of the
Government. •
Mackenzie is still a good name to
conjure with in Lambton county, which
27 was represented in parliament for many
f34 years by the ex -premier; Charles Mac -
3B kenzie is elected in the west riding by
• 31 over seven hundred majority, and Mr
Hugh Mackenzie has carried the east
161 riding by over four hundred.
One of the greatest victories in the
39 campaign was that of Mr Cleland in
38 North Grey. It was notable because
- - of the majority-405—and because the
76 defeated man (Creighton) was the most
active and prominent of Mr Meredith's
- 35 supporters. Mr Cleland will take a
. 14 good position in the new Parliament.

who were the principals were lustily
cheered along the route. Mr Mother-
sill,thought(somewhatshort winded,kept
a good pace throughout. The deputy
registrar was so jolted that his new
election silk hat came down over him
like a candle extinguisher.
A feature of the contest worthy of
note is the utter failure of the attack on
the Minister of Education. This was of
the most persistent character, the in-
stinct of his opponents telling them
with nnerring certainty that it was easier
to raise a prejudice against the Depart-
menr of Education than against any
other department of the administration.
The French and separate school ques-
tions were dangerous enough, but the
text -book question was not less so. No
• matter what the average parent has to
pay for a text book he can easily be
persuaded that he ought to have got
it for less, and in spite of this subtle
line of attack Mr Ross is returned by a
good majority for a close constituency
and the Government have a good work-
ing majority in the Assembly.. All talk
of restoring the chief superintendency of
education will now cease. The matter
is no longer one of the experiments.
The education portfolio has been held
by a minister since 18713, and if we are
to let our political potatoes grow at all
surely this one bas had a chance to take
root by this time.
Four year ago the Conservative ma-
jority in Kingston was 247. On Thurs-
day it was 29, showing a Liberal gain
of 218 votes. In Frontenao the Conser•
votive majority was 80 on Thursday,
compared with 355 in 1888, and in
Lennox Dr. Meacham'a majority has
been reduced from 103 to 18. In Add-
ington, another Conservative division,
the vote has been reduced about 100,and
in North Bruce a Conservative has been
squeezed in by seven votes. On the
-other hand the Reform majority in
Ottawa is increased from 277 to 1,415;
in Russell Mr Robillard gets 835 instead
of 174; in Glengarry Mr Rayside has in-
creased hie majority from 32 to 303 ; in
Centre Bruce Mr Daok's majority has
been increased from 35 to ever 300; in
one of the Hurons, the Lambtons, the
Brants, the Oxfords,the Waterloos, the
Yorks, the Perths, West Durham,
Cornwall, Haldimand, North Lenark,
the Norfolks, the Greys, the Peterboros,
the Victories and the Hastings the
Reform vote has been largely increased
end seats captured from the Conserva-
tives. Of course there are Reform con-
stituencies that show a decrease,but not.
many.
assonumel
21 Interest is beginning to center in the
-- struggle for the three Cabinet vacancies.
70 It is understand that Hon Charles
Drury will seek the seclusion that an
79 office grants, but that Hon Mr Gibson
82 will get a constituency—perhaps north
47 Wentworth or west Lambton, either of
68 which is said to le available. Colonel
7 Clarke, of Wellington, Dryden, Awrey,
13 and Harcourt all are credited with
23 hopes, and from among them will be
chosen probably the two other Ministers
319 and the Speaker.
30 Dalton McCarthy is a veritable
27 Jonah. In every county that he
visited the Tories lost ground and the
38 Liberals made gains. He went to
29 26 Ottawa and Mr Bronton'smajority was
31 increased from 277 to 1,469. He spoke
a1 in Cornwall and Mr Mack increased his
24 majority to four hundred. He went to
West Peterboro, and Mr Stratton's
•236 majority was increased from 32 to over
200. Mr McCarthy "whooped it up" in
Toronto; and the Conservative vote
was reduced and the Reform vote in-
creased. He supported Clendenning in
West York, but Dr Gilmour was elected

The most interesting meeting of the
week took place last Friday evening,
when three young men, J. W. Church-
ill, John Kennedy and Mr Caldwell,
were received into full connection
with the ministry. The reception
'wee moved by Rev. Dr. Henderson,of
Listowel, in a short but very appro-
priate address. It was seconded by
Rev. Dr. Willoughby, of Guelph, in
a forcible and telling speech, which
will not soon be forgotten, followed
by a telling address from Dr. Griffin,
the honored president of the confer-
ence. This was considered to be the
best reception service for years, both
from the clear statements of the you n
men and the good advice given
the speakers. [They were ordained
on Sunday.
The report of the superannuation
fund, showed that their is invested in
the interests of this fund $17048.26,
and that the amount receivedanddis-
bursed this year is $38,365.
The report on conference relations
recommend that in the case of the
Rev. Jas. Tyler as a superannuated
minister, his relation to be continued,
and that Rev. Jas. Charlton be re-
stored, if a suitable appointment can
be found. The Rev. R Service's re-
lation was changed to a supernumer-
ary one, he having commuted his
claim. Rev. Jas. MiUs' relation was
continued as a superannuated minis-
ter for another year. Rev Wm Will -
mot was granted a superannuated re-
lation.
The report of the Memorial Com-
mittee recommended that the mem-
bers of the annual conference be elect-
ed by the quarterly boards in place of
the district meetings. The recom-
mendation was adopted by a vote of
90 for and 77 against. In regard to
the superannuated fund, it was mov-
ed in amendment that all ministers
having a salary over $600 pay two
per cent. on the salary.
The memorial asking that the pas-
torate be extended from three to five
years was put on the table, that de-
claring that the representatives of the
quarterly boards have the right to
state their case before the stationing
committee carried.
Rev. E. S. Rupert introduced the
finding of the Court of Appeal on the
Carson case, which brought forth a
heated discussion. The question was
left on the table.
Dr Withrow reported very largo
additions to the number of Sunday
schools, the result largely of the phe-
nomenal developmrnt of the Sunday
school and extension fund. He spoke
of the rapid growth of the Epworth
League, both in Canada and the Unit-
ed States, and urged its recognition
as an integral part of the church
work'
d R The report of the election of minis -
Thursday was a great day for bolting
Conservative candidates. In Cardwell
Mr Lennox, the regular nominee of the
party, was defeated by Mr Hammen,
who ran on his own account. Mr
Monk,the whip of Mr Meredith's party,
came within a few votes of being
defeated in Carleton, and Mr French,
the Conservative organizer for eastern
Ontario, was whipped in Grenville by
Mr Bush, an independent, who was
supported by Reformers. In East
Durham, also, theInomineee of the Con-
servative convention was beaten by Mr
Campbell, another Conservative who
cams out on the Equal Rights plat.
