Vote EARLY for Mr Garrow, and then look around for the men who are careless or doubtful, and bring them to the polls in good company. The statement that Mr Garrow was willing to subscribe to the articles of faith held by the P.F.A. is an inten- tional falsehood. Liberal electors in any of the Hurons should mark their ballots for the Libe- ral candidates, and then look after some indifferent voters. All voters should go to the polls as early as possible on Tuesday next, and thus avoid the confusion incident tb coming late. Is any one foolish enough to suppose that those who are supporting Mr Con- nolly because he is a Patron, will also support Mr Gaunt when the Dojnin- icn election corns o, ? Electors who 'wish to retain a pure government in ;power, one that has been as good a fa; mer's friend as can be, should vote for Mr Garrow in the West Riding; Mr M Lean in the South, and Mr Gibson, in th' East.

On Tuesday next;Othe electors of Ontario will decide as to who shall bold the reins of power for the next four years. The issue is uncertain for the reason that so many factors have entered into the contest that have hitherto been unknown. If the fight was a straight contest on the old lines between theLiberals and Conservatives, one would not have much room for doubt, because the general administra- tion of Mr Mowat has been so free from anything pertaining to crruption and so largely in the public interest, that we are satisfied the people would again return him by a good majority. But the. P. of I. and P. P. A. elements that figure in the present contest, destroy calculations that are based upon pre- vious elections. That the Conserva- tives are endeavoring to make use of both these elements to further their own ends, is self-evident. This is es- pecially trjie as regards the latter. Both ttit,ese organizations may prove , eith . i weaker••^ri stronger than pecae pose, and for tat-teaKu/I •'et e'mat- r hangs in the balance. We have not the slightest hesitation in saying that we believe Mr Mowat is entitled to the support of every one who appreciates good government. Notwithstanding all that has,been said against him, the weight of honest argument is all in his favor. If he has not legislatedlfor the best interests of the Province, then no one else ever can. If be has not kept the administration free from the taint of scandal, no one who succeeds him will ever be able to do more so. If he has not guarded its resources, dealt justly with all classes, and watched over all its interests with a jealous eye, than it never can be done by any future Premier. With a r gcord such as Mr Mowat has, so overwhelmingly in his favor, there should not be any doubt as to the re- sult, btxt with the uncertain elements he has to face, there is no telling what the outcome will be until the members elected take their seats in the House. Let the electors of Huron make as- surance doubly sure by casting in their support for the candidates pledged to support Mr Mowat and good govern- ment. s' Refused. to Answer At the nomination meeting in Gode- rich, on Tuesday, Mr Connolly was asked if he belonged to either the P. P. A. or C.P.A. organization. He re- fused to answer, although repeatedly asked to do so, and only one con- struction can be placed on his action. The Conservative press 1 in all its branches has not a single\ charge to make against the Mowat which does not require the e representation.

Fair, of Londesboro, will preach in Rattenbury street church, Clinton. on Sunday next, Rev Mr Holmes being at Granton, formally opening a new church. The statement circulated hat "the Snells, of Hullett, are suppo ting Mr Connolv," because Mr W. S ell was chairman of Connolly's rnet ting at Londesboro, is without the lightest particle of foundation. Mr Snell ac- companied the editor of the NEW ERA to the meeting, and only a cepted the chair on the urgent solici tion of the meeting, after two others persons had refused to act. The r..iells, like many other intelligent i•„ mers, are quite sat- isfied that therinterests of the country are safe in.' he hands of Mr Mowat, when -supported by men like Mr Gar - and will vote accordingly. Gaunt Refuses to Support Him Mr James Gaunt, the Patron nomi- nee for the Dominion in the West Rid- ing, has been helping Mr Connolly on the platform, and nominated him on Tuesday. When he found that Mr Connolly refused to state whether or not he was a P.P.A. and left the im- pression on the minds of all that he belongs to this organization, we are informed he declared openly that he had been deceived by Mr Connolly, and would no longer help him in the campaign, and he went home. Is he or is he not? Members of the Patron Lodge that Mr Connolly belongs to, state that on more than one occasion he has denied having any connection with the as- sociation know as the P. P. A. At the nomination in Goderich, on Tuesday, when asked the same question, he re- fused to answer, and left the impression on the minds of the audience that he was a member. It would have been an easy thing to have answered pub- licly one way or the other, and his re- fusal to do so has, we believe, done him no good. ' An Important Matter. The Montreal Witness, alluding to the Ontario elections, has this to say about a matter of vital importance:— "The paramount question just now— we wish we might think it the controi- ling one—is that of ,prohibition. On that question Sir Oliver stands most committed to the right, and Mr. Mere- dith will have the support of the liquor interest. Temperance people should loot blind themselves to think or e side is as good as the other in this matter. ,"While the personal records of the can- didates may be such as to demand the Support of a Meredith prohibitionist against a Mowat man who c. , %tetter with the liquor trade, yet there is no eneh consideration, the Mowat ,, ididated "iC bulli receive the support of the e Polling Places The following are the polling places selected by the Sheriff in this immedi- ate neighborhood:— CLINTON — No. 1, Smithson's late workshop, :.. -Albert ..St..; -No. -2;--Town Hall; No. 3, Chidley's warerooms, Vic- toria St.; No. 4, Jas.

A strawberry social, under the au- spices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Baptist church, will be held on Wed tesday evening next. Place will be announced by hand bills. The band will be in attendance. Rev W. Smyth will preach at Moore- field camp meeting on Sunday next. His place here will be supplied by Mr T. Murch in the morning, and Mr W. Ashton (a ministerial candidate) who will supply Tur ner's and the evening service. The address on "The habit of in- temperance and its consequence," which was to have been given in the Epworth League of the Ontario St. Methodist church last Monday night, by Mr Bezzo, was unavoidably post- poned until Monday, the 25th inst. Mrs Anna Ross, of Brucefield, an enthusiastic worker in the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, addressed a public meeting in Knox church,Brus- sels, last (Thursday) evening. Mrs Ross is a most zealous worker in the missionary cause, and has done a great seal of work in a quiet way that has has never become public.. The lawn social given by the Mission Circle of Rattenbnry street church, last Friday evening,was well attended. The beautiful grounds of Mi F. Ruin - ball and Rev Mr Holines were lighted up by electric light, the town band dis- coursed choice music, while the young ladies in charge of the refreshments were kept busy in attending to the wants of the multitude. The receipts were over $54. Sunday, the 24th, will be a great day in Galt, among the Freemasons, that being St. John the Baptist's day, when it is the duty of Masons to assemble, and by a solemn invocation of the feast, renew the ties and strengthen the fraternal bonds that unite the pre- sent to the brotherhood of the olden time. They intend, therefore, holding a special service in Trinity church, Galt,when the sermon will be preached by the Rev J. H. Fairlie,who has occu- pied the honorable office of Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of An- cient Free and Accepted Masons of Ca- nada. A large crowd were present at the Court House, Goder ich, on Tuesday, to witness the nominations. Mr Garrow was nominated by Mr W. • Young, of Colborne, seconded by Mr T. Anderson, Ashfield. Mr Connelly was nominated by Mr Jas. Gaunt, of WestWawanosh, seconded by Mr W. Stothers, of Ash- field. These were all the nominations made. Mr Garrow then made an ad- dress, and at its close answered some questions concerning temperance; he would support any practical temper- ance legislation. At the close of MrCon- noly's address he was asked if he was a P. P. A. or C. P. A. but he refused to answer, stating that it was a private matter, and actually left the room be- fore the audience went out. ilpeakipg Vf tj a various temtieranoe reforrns' which ere being brought about, she Urged the 'Union to, be more than ever united.

Mre Hoover, In her usual sweet and expressive manner. Mrs Bean, the Treasurer, gave a report of the work done daring the year, and if any of the members were disoonreiged over the seeming) slow progrera made, they must surely have rejoioed and taken fresh courage, on hearing this report. It showed that during the past year about sixty dollars had been spent in oharitiee; during the past winter sewing meetings were held every week; ten quilts were made and given to worthy poor, and garments of all kinds and sizes, without number, had been distributed to those whom the com- mittee deemed the moat needy and worthy. Prayer meetings had been held in some part of the town every Sunday—some Sun- days as many as four—where either sitar - nem or old . age prevented the inmates at- tending ohuroh. During last summer about three hundred bouquets of Sowers were dis- tributed amongst the sink and infirm, each bouquet being accompanied with a text of Scripture, and in many oases jellies or fruit, and all were received with much gratitude and many thanks. A series of temperance meetings were held in the town hall, and two public entertainments were given during the year. 'The next on the program was a temperance reading by Miss Moore, which was both interesting •and profitable. After some words of encour- agement and cheer had been spoken by other members, the meeting closed, all feel- ing that the gathering had not been in vain, but that its object had verily been accom- plished.

PIKE, CLINTON,—DEAR FRIENDS Please accept my sincere thanks in behalf of Mrs Peter Bart and family, for your kindness dnrirg the time of her bus• band's suffering, while at your home, at Clinton. When I consider the noble quali- ties of heart, unconsciously revealed by yourself and wife, during his illness, your untiring efforts to alleviate the pain attend- ing the long hours of suffering, your kind words of encouragement offered to those who are dear to him, followed by your words of sympathy; when I attempt to thank you, in her behalf, words fail me, and I am powerless to express the depth of her gratitude. I also wish to thank the good nurse, Miss Stevenson, for the kind and gentle manner in which she attended to his wants daring the long hours of pain; her good qdalities have won her many true friends; also Dr. Gunn, for his kindness in doing all in his power to alleviate the pain of a loving husband; also to his fellow -work- men, and others who contributed their ser- vices whenever required. In conclusion, I can only offer ydn, individually end collec- tively, the heartfelt thanks of his wife and family. Yours truly, War. O'BxnrN. DISTRICT MEETING OF THE R. T. OF T. The Royal Templars of Huron held their District meeting at Wingham,Thars- day, June 14th, with a good representation from all parts of the district, District Councillor, J. E. Tom, in the chair. After the minutes of the preceding meeting, held in Seaforth, Jan. 27th, were read, a strik- ing committee was appointed, consisting of Bros. Davis, Centralia; Dobson, Ford- wioh; Pickard, Holmesville, and Sisters Beatty,Seaforth; McKay, Goderiob, who proceeded to draught the Standing com- mittees. The reports of D. Councillor, D. Secy. and Treasurer were then given, after which. the advisability of dividing the district in- to two divisions was discussed, but when the vote was taken, it was decided not to make any division at present. Fordwioh council, on request, was grant- ed permission to withdraw from Huron jurisdiction and join Wellington, if per- mitted. byt district. The places in mfl Huron Districi�where t he Districtet- ings are likely to be held being very diffi- cult to reach from Fordwioh, so it was thought advisable to transfer. G. Penhale, Exeter, reported for the com- mittee on "the distribution of reports and papers." He thought that the fuller re- port each council obtained of matters per- taining to the work the better, and that a copy of the Weekly Templar should be placed in the hands of every family re- presented in the council. J. H. Pyper, of Seaforth, in his report for committee on "Opening and resuscitat- ing councils," said that new councils might be started in Clinton, Zurich, Hill's Green, Dashwood and other places, and when any council had become extinct, those councils in the immediate neighborhood might see to the resuscitating of sn_h. The committee for "Temperance work" reported throngh their chairman, Mr Dob- son, who said, (1) That a retrospect of the past half year was satisfactory; the plebi- scite vote showed a large majority in favor of the total prohibition of the liquor traffic; that no stone should be left unturned that would induce the powers that be to give ef- fect to the wishes of the people. (2) That more attention might be given to juvenile temperance work, and that the introduction of the Select. Degree into councils would give interest and stability to them. (3) Therefore, the council would recommend, (a) That we keep in view the vast import- ance of the moral suasion idea. (b) That as far as possible the influence of the Order be brought to bear on ohurches, to give special prominence to the temperance cause. (c) That Councils exercise due oversight over the demeanor of members. (d) That all members be urged to use all wise legitimate means possible to further the cense of total prohibition, especially by making it a matter of conscienoe at the polls. J. H. Reid, en behalf of the Finance Committee, reported that, owing to the ab- sence of necessary papers, the committee was unable to give, at present, the exact standing of the council financially. There were also a number of minor re- ports given by the other committees. Under the head of new business, it was moved by W. H. Butt, seconded by W. H. Lewis, that this District Council re- quest the Select Councils to ask for pledges from all candidates for parliamentary hon- ors in the different ridings, to support pro- hibition when the question comes before parliament. It was decided to hold the next District council at Holmesville, between the 15th and 80th of Jan. next. Moved by J. H. Pyper, seconded W. H. Butte, that a hearty vote of thanks be ex- tended the Wingham council for the hos- pitality shown visiting councils during the convention, which was replied to by Dr. Dowling, of Wingham council. F.

Mr Sellery has made many warm friends in Wingham, not only amongst his own church members, but with the people generally, and they are sorry to know that he is leaving town.—Wingham Advance. [Mr Sel- lery is a relative of Mr J. C. Gilroy]. MISSIONARY WORK.—A union meet- ing of the Holmesville, Middleton and Summerhill branches of the Woman's auxiliary took place at Mrs Samuel Holmes', Clinton, on Wednesday after- noon, June 12, for the purpose of pack- ing the clothingwhich they have made up since last ecember, There were fourteen ladies present. A litany ser- vice was led by the pastor, Rev. L. W. Diehl, and all joined heartily in the re- sponses. The question of uniting once a month, during the summer months, was discussed, and the majority thought it advisable to meet as usual, every two weeks. It was also decided to send the goods to the Rev. Geo.Holmes, a missionary among the Indiana, and also a teacher of an Indian school for children, at Lesser Slave Lake, Peace River District, Athabasca. The pack- ing was then begun. There were 12 quilts, 9 dresses, 4 jackets, 4 coats, 6 pairs of socks, 6 pairs of stockings, 17 pairs of mits, 10 hoods, 7 shirts, and a great many other things, making a total of 1116 articles. The clothing was nearly all new material, and would he valued at $65 or $70. This is the seventh time these branches have sent away goods to the missionaries during the past four years. After the pack- ing all partook of lunch, and then dis- persed, pleased to have met with fel- low -workers in a common cause. A Social Gathering. On the afternoon of the 7th inst. a com- mittee of ladies entertained the members and friends of the W.C.T.L., in the lecture room of the Ontario street ohuroh. There were between thirty and forty present. An hour was spent in friendly greetings and social intercourse, during which time Mrs Wm. Coats?. jr. rendered some very choice selections on the piano. Shortly after five o'olook all sat down to an ele- gantly prepared tea, and after ample justice had been done to the good things provided by the committee, a solo was rendered by Mies Andrews, which, for sweetness and richness of tone, would be hard to excel. The President, Mrs Andrews, then gave an address of welcome, and stated the objeot of the gatbering,whioh she said was to pass dt sooial hour together, and to unite their hearts and talents more strongly in the great cense which we represent. Then, Patrons and any semi -religious organiza- tion has ever existed or can exist at any time hereafter." To compel a member of a non-sectarian order to vote for a person who has identi- fied himself with the P.P.A. would be as tyrannical as to compel him to join the P. P.A. himself. Itwould be compelling him tc work for a body with which he ,might have no sympathy whatever. Grand Trustee J. Lookie Wilson, in an interview published in a Toronto paper, in answer to the question, "Has your party anything in common with the P. P. A. movement?" replied: "Nothing whatever. The P. P. A. movement has to do with questions of race and religion; the Patrons of Industry deal purely with economic questions. We have thousands of Roman Catholic members in our associations." Grand Trustee A: Gilford has publicly declared, "There is not the slightest pos- sible connection between the P. I. and the P.P.A. We have a large number of Ro- man Catholics in our ranks, and they are quite as loyal members and good subjects as those of other creeds. We believe in equal rights for all." The reference to the Ronan Catholic membership of the order is of great impor- tance. No one would dream of asking a Roman Catholic Patron to support a Y.P.A. candidate; but there are as many Protes • tants who are as much opposed as Catho- lics are to the P:P.&., and it is plain that they have as good a right as Catholice to have their liberties and wishes respected. In other words, a Protestant Patron cannot be bound by an obligation from which a Catholic is absolved. Mr D. M. Macpherson, the cheese king, who is pl•actioally elected by. acclamation in Glengarry, is a Patron in high standing, and is referred to by the Sun as a conscien- tious, reliable man. He protest very strongly against the proscription of any man on account of his creed, and against the introduction of sectarianism into poli- tics. - Thousands of Patrons are of his opinion, and common sense and justice, as well as the utterances we have quoted, show that they cannot be dragged into the service of the P.P.A. against their will. The Patron candidate who connects himself with the P. P.A. does so at the risk of alienating the support of Patrons who are opposed to the P. P.A.—Globe Patrons and the P. P. A. A Patrcn of Industry is not bound by the obligations of the order to vote for a Patron candidate who has joined the Pro- testant Protective Association or signed its Parliamentary pledges. Saoh is the fair interpretation of the official documents published in the Patrons' Sun of June 13th. In one of these, entitled "The Obligation of Patrons," Mr C. A. Mallory, Grand President of the Order, says that "true Patrons must and will support such Pa- tron candidates as are properly pat in the field for any office by our people." But subsequent utterances of the Grand Lodge and its officers show that if a Patron can- didate chooses to associate himself with the P. P. A. he does by that act release his Patron brethren from the obligation to support him. He is not forbidden to join the P.P.A. himself, but be cannot ex- pect to drag every Patron in his constit- uency into a sectarian movement with which. it has been expressly declared that the Patrons have no connection. Grand President Mallory says:— "I desire to say most emphatically that our organization .has never had, has not now, and never can have any affiliation, directly or indirectly, with any organiza- tion affecting the religious standing of the people. Our constitution distinctly pro- vides that our order shall be non-partisan and ,non-sectarian. I trust that this offi- cial declaration will prevent any further ineinnations that a coalition between the BUItN JONES.—In Hullett, on the 14th Mat., the wife of Mr Edward Jones, of a daughter.: SQUIRE.—In Hullett, on the 17th inst., the wife of Mr Martin Squire, of a son, still born.

From this stand- point, I claim that every prohibitionist ought to vote for the Mowat eandidatethrough. out the entire province at the approaching election. I would even go so far in this crisis as to say that a prohibitionist ought to vote for a candidate on Mo- wat's side, even though such candidate be not himself a pronounced temper- ance man, and this rather than vote for a temperance candidate who runs in opposition to the Mowatfadrninistra- tion. Ordinarily, I have held that we should vote for the best man in the field, irrespective of party, and by this means make it worth while for both political parties to see to it that good men are brought out in order to secure the support of even their own political friends. For years it has been admitted by temperance people that if we are to have a prohibitory liquor law, some one of the two political parties must declare for prohibition. The govern- ment of the Hon. Mr Mowat has done so in very definite terms. The policy of Mr Meredith is one of postponement ----one which, under the circumstances, every liquor man in the country would approve of. In the+Prr vincial session of Parliament of 1893 Mr Meredith opposed a plebiscite, and spoke on behalt of and voted for Mr Marter's bill for securing the immedi- ate prohibition of the retail liquor traffic. At the present time, however, Mr Meredith is so greatly in love with the plebiscite that he would have one or even two more plebiscites before at- tempting to enforce a prohibitory liquor law, The Ridgetown Standard, the Con- servative paper for East Kent, finds itself unable to follow the Meredith platform, and has openly declar- ed for Mr Robt Ferguson, the old and faithful Liberal representative. Some one has set afloat the yarn that Hon. Mr Ross improperly appointed his owe daughter to aluorative position in the Toronto Normal Sohool. The best evidence that there was no impropriety in her appointment is that she has not held and does net now hold any appointment in any Normal School in the Province. Pew Adulrxti cmtnto.
