The Conservatives of West Huron will meet at Smith's Hill'on the 13th Feby , Friday of this week, to select a candidate for Weet Huron. As is usually the case several narnee are mentioned as possible candidates, some of them, doubtless, without permission. Among them are the retiring member Mr. Robert Porter, probably the ablest and most con- sistently honest representative the riding has ever had. Mr. Joseph Beck, reeve or Colborne, Warden of the county anti president of the riding Conservative 'association is also spoken of. Mr. Beck is a deservedly popular man of exten- sive acquaintance throughout the ridingwould poll a good vote and if elected do credit to West Huron. Mr. J. M. Roberts' name has also been ou people's tongues in this connection. The splendid vote ho received at the June elections last sunnuer, withthe addition of the other portion of Goderich township and the elimination of a portion of Hullett in the coming contest, would indicate that he would make a formidable candidate. Mr. John Deacon], the eloquent deputy reeve of Goderich township, hae friends who think he would have a good chance of securing a majority of the votes in the riding. Mayor Doherty, of Clinton, has friends who feel satisfied that his nomination would be equivalent to his election. Dr. Holmes, county treasurer, has also been named MR a strong candidate. We have merely given "what the people are saying" in this COGIUt3C- on without intruding our opuaton as to who should be the choice. That will be determined by the people's delegates in convention. To inorro w,Th ursday,the Belot m- ers will decide upon their candidate for this riding. Messrs. M. C. Cam- eron, A. H. Manning of Clinton, and D. McGillicuddy of Goderich are spoken of outside as possible candidates. There seems to be an impression that Mr. Cameron's health will not permit hie accepting the nomination, but we rather think her will be the man, though there are rumors that he will be offered South Herren so as to have hini in the House for certain and without undergoing the onerous labor of a contest which in his pres- ent delicate state of health it would be unfair to ask of him. Should Mr. Manning be dected he would undoubtedly be a formidable opponent to any one the Conserva- tives can put in the field, and Mr. McGillicuddy has strength which could not be ignored in case the choice fell upon him. In East Huron Messrs. W. Clegg and A. H. Muegrove, H. W. C. Meyer and Dr. Chisholm, of Wing - ham, and Dr. Holmes, of Goderich, have had their names mentioned as among those from whom the Con- servatives of East Huron will be likely to select a standard bearer. The convention meets at Brussels this week. Dr. McDonald is altimat certain to he the Reform candidate in East Huron again. In South Huron we have not heard of any Conservative taking the field. If Mr. Cameron is not offered or will not accept the nomi- nation it is likely Mr. John Mc- Millan will again get the nomina- tion, though Messrs M. Y. McLean and D. D. Wilson are credited with having parliamentary aspira. Hone to represent South Huron. The nominating convention meets at Bruoefield. ---The residence of Banker Cowles at • Clark's, Nebraska, was entered by burg. lare early Wednesday morning.

No public man in Ctribels h ever so shamelessly prostituted ti freedom of speech accorded to a wherever the British flit; floats did Sir Rich it'd Cartwright iu th few traituroire words w {rjv above. It is not at al i surprising that th French speaking people especial' pi Lie themselves un their loyalt ever since they became part o British America when an English speaking public man, as the spokes man of a political party, itnpudent- ly asserts that what Euglish and French speaking Canadians have bought with their blood and their lives should never have been accom- plished. It is white -livered states- manship that regrets the heroic deeds of past or present generations and that would cultivate friendly relations with another country at the expense of oue's owu. To what depths of degradation have knightly titles falleu, since that bravo old cavalier Sir Walter Scott wrote of such as Sir Richard Cart. wright: "Breathes there a matt with soul so dead * if such there be go mark him well." it. re da r. tie ed of le d al it 01 09 10 11 as e y f Sometimes one Imam of voters saying they will not vote at elec.. fiat's. This is wroug—ahnoet criniinally wroug. Absteution from casting au honoree intelligent ballot is net only a neglect of a eacred duty, but is oleo an uugrate. rut dieregard of privileges dearly bought by our forefathers. Alen may say they do not like this candi- date or that. But personal dislike or liking should not be the deter- mining factor as to whether it mail should vote at all ur whom he should vote for. Principles are what men should vote for. Those principles shoe'd be embodied or formulated in a policy or measures calculated to benefit our whole country. The party whose princi- ples aro best desigued to advance the business inte-ests and develop the resources of the Dominion should have the active support of every elector. Of course there will be honest difference of opinion as to which petty favors measuree which shell to the greatest extent benefioially enure to the prosperity of our common country. That is for every elector to decide. A piney may not, no party can, have a policy which in all its pais and &Leila shall meet the full approval of each and every individual voter. That were impossible. But electots should support that party whose policy has to their minds tho least defects and in the largest measure is calculated to forward the best interests of the people. Electors having decided which party this is should then support the candidates who run in the interest of that party irrespective of personal con- siderations. By alt moans select the most unobjectionable candidate who has the ability to help the party which embodies most neatly your views, and then support with all your might that candidate. Men sometimes do not like ministers of their church. But it would be the height of folly for them to say they would take no lot or part in religious exercises which,as a whole they approved of, because iu some nonessential points they differed from the minister • or had some personal dislike to him. Neither in religion nor in politics canr, we expect the expounders of the one ortirM.itrs of the other to meet our individual views wholly and ibsolutely. This, however, should not deter us frotn endeavor- ing to maks the most of even im- perfect means so long as they are the best we can secure. Indiffer- ence under such circumstances is nothing short of criminal. No religious creed, no political creed can by any possible mama be enunciated that in all respects shall suit every pereon. This should lie borne in mind by those who feel like sinking their manhood in the selfishness and egotism of indifference. SIR RICHARD AND LOYALTY Sir Richard Cartwright in a "magnificent" speech at Guelph the other day gave vent to his peculiar notions of loyalty in the following words—'These people dared to talk as if it were disloyal, forsooth, for the people of Canada to cultivate friendly relations with the Upited States. Ile maintained, on the other hand, that it was the greatest service tkat Canada could render to the British Empire to cement together those two great nations, which ought never to have been torn asunder." Now Sir Richard both told a lio and uttered a treasonable sentiment. "These people," the Conservatives, do not talk as if it wore disloyal to cultivate friendly relations with the United States. On the other hand we often made sacrifices to maintain friendly relations with them. They robbed us of our territory, stole our fish, encouraged the invasion of our country by a horde of lawless ruf- fians who were equipped on Arueri- can soil abd yet Conservatives kept up friendly relations. They attempt- ed to squeeze us with the McKinley bill and we still keep friendly with them. They threaten to gobble us up some fine morning before break. fast, and yet wellshow no spirit of unfriendliness at the imminence of this 'boastful gormandizing feat. But ConserVativea can take the latter part of the quoted paragraph and rightfully charge Sir Richard with disloyalty to both the British THE OLD POLICY. Our Grit friends say, "The Tor- ies have abandoned the National Policy." They also argue that Sir John has stolen the Grit policy. Well, it is hard to steal from a per- son that which he does not possess. Leading Grits have themselves been in ignorance of late years of their party's policy. But as far as its ne- bulous condition will allow one to discern it their policy would ap- pear tokbe 'the shortest road to an- nexation." The means to that end reciprocity. The Conservatives pre- sent a united front against annexa- tion. They protest against any scheme or policy that would even indirectly bring about annexation. Unrestricted reciprocity is the hand: naaid to annexation. Limited reci- procity and extended trade relations is what Conservatives have to offer to -day, as they have offered for the last twelve years. One attempt to "squeeze" Canada into annexation is that Grit abortion known as the McKinley bill. But it has been a boomerang. It was shot forth by the Americans at the Conservatives and the National Policy. It hit its friends, the Canadian Grits, and re• bounding struck the American manipulators. It wounded its American authors eo that they al- most gave up the ghost at the State elections in November laet. This result has been that many of the States whose legislatures had been of the McKinley stripe are now Democrat. This has opened the eyes of the republicans and they made overtures to us for a wide 'measure of reciprocity—for extended trade relations somewhat on the basis of the old Reciprocity and Wash- ington treaties. This is the old pol- icy. Canada has always been anx- ious fur extended trade with the United States. Who abrogated the old treaties 1 Tho United States. Who passed the McKinley bill? The United States at the suggestion of Canadiam traitors and annexation- ists. Canadians want the old pol- icy of freer trade witk our neigh- bors, who have of late years refused to treat with us to that end except on conditions unfair to 09. We stick to the old policy, a pot - ley endorsed by Hon. George Brown, the Hon. Alex. McKenzie as well as by the old leader Sir Sir John A. Macdonald. In 1878 Mr. McKenzie had the question put to him when lie was Prime Minister in his place in Par- liament : "What is the policy of the Government with regard to recipro- city with the United States ?" And Mr. McKenzie's (tumor, the answer of a true Canadian at that time, this. He said : "We aro willing treat with any country. We, h dune all we could to wake In arrzingeinetits with the Uni States, and now it is for them take the that onward atop." lu speaking in Toronto last day night Minister of Justice, John Thompson, quoted Sir iti and Cartwright of 1878 agetuut Richard of 1891.

A friend aska us to state the diff erence between reciprocity as used in pOlitical matters, and commercia union—Reciprocity, which the con eervatives have always favored,would permit certain imports from th United Statea to come into Cana1s free of duty in return for the Uuit• ed States admitting an equivalent o Canadian products to enter its port free of duty. Commercial union or unrestricted reciprocity would admit the interchange of all pro- ducts free between the two countries, conditional upon the imposition by Canada of the present American tariff, which is about 60 per cent, on all imports from Great BOtain and the rest of the world. The Chicago Inter Ocean, one of the best inform- ed and fairest newspapers iu the United State's, formulates the policy of the Canadian Grits when it gives the attitude of the United States in the following words:—"TnE RE- CIPROCITY QUESTION IS DEBATED MORE FERVIDLY IN CANADA THAN TUE UNITED STATES. THIS IS NATURAIa BUT SHORT OF COMMERCIAL ABSORP- TION WE SEE NO SAFE BASIS OF RECIPROCITY. WE PROTEST AGAINST ANY, EXCEPT THE MOST COMPLETE, INCLUSIVE OF IDENTICAL TARIFF CONDITIONS IN BOTH COUNTRIES, RE- C1PROCITY WITH CANADA.
