He Has a smallWorking Majority Huron solid for good Government -The Liberals Lose Hon. Mr. Harty -The Conservatives Lose Clancey and Sol. White -Toronto goes solid Conservative, while Ottawa and Hamilton go Liberal. Returns as they stand: Liberals 50 Conservatives` 26 ' Patrons 15 ; P. P. A 2 Uncertain Returns 1 • The uncer tainty is to a large extent over, and those who had tremblingly awaited the result of Tuesday's com- plicated election, may rest'eas-y in the 'assurance that Sir Oliver Mowat will remain at the head of affairs for at least four years more. The govern- ment has met with a number of losses, chief of which is the defeat of Hon.', M. Harty, in Kingston, by 5, and of Mr Ballantyne, late speaker. The Conser- vatives lose two of their able suppor- ters by the defeat of Sol White and Mr Clancey. The government losses are larger in point of numbers than the Conservatives. The election of four Conservatives in Toronto,by large majorities, is a disappointment to Lib- erals, who had expected to win one or two seats there. The Liberals almost counted on the defeat of both its can- didates in Hamilton, but both were successful. Ottawa sends two Liberals to support Mr Mowat. In London Mr Meredith has a majority of 135. Sev- eral of the Patron candidates, though not likely all, will unquestionably give Mr Mowat an independent support, as they were endorsed by the Liberals before election. Just what majority Mr Mowat will have cannot be told un- til the House meets, and a division takes place, but it may run from ten to fifteen:.. Below, ar-e.the-..classified re- turns, as nearly correct as they can be given at present. The majorities may vary, and there may be a little change in parties, but not likely very much: THE HURONS. There was virtually acontest in only two of the Hurons -the West and South Riding. In the East no one anticipated any other result than that Mr Gibson would be returned by a large majority. Mr Milne, his oppon- -ent, gained no support evidently trorn the Liberals, by his desertion of the Liberal party, and did not even receive the solid Conservative support. Mr Gibson's majority is about 500 or over, and he who has represented East Hur- on so long and so well will continue to do so for four years longer. The fight in ' West Huron was a lively one, and at one time was re- garded as sure for Mr Connolly. In fact, so certain were the Conserva- tives in town of his return, that up to a week before the election they did little or no open work in his behalf, and now admit that they then regard- ed his election as perfectly safe. They were presumed to be quietly working for him all along, notwithstanding his nomination as a non -partizan Patron, but the refusal of Mr Gaunt to support Connolly after the day of nomination, weakened his prospects. Connolly finished the contest single-handed, so far as platform work was concerned, and certainly made a good fight. The contest in this riding was unique, from the fact that the Liberal candidate be- longed to a profession that the Patrons are strongly opposed to -the legal - and consequently Mr Garrow lost ground in rural sections, while he gain- ed in the towns, where, no doubt, many Conservatives supported him. A very pleasing and commendable feature of the campaign was the gen- eral absence of the bitter and mean personalities that too often are indulg- ed in, and it is to the credit of both parties that nothing of this nature oc- curred. The majority of 73 for Mr Garrow in Goderich, and 106 for him in Clinton is something remarkable; the majority here is the .largest ever given any candidate. In Wingham Mr Connolly got a majority of over 40. Mr Garrow's total majority is slight- ly over 100, but will not be known officially until next week. Although the West Riding has not the honor of being represented by a farmer, it is represented by one who is in perfect sympathy with this class and all oth- ers, and will beg lad to do all he pos- sibly'can to further their interests in theHouse or elsewhere. West Huron has every reason to feel .proud of its able, honest and manly representative. When Mr Bishop withdrew from the South Riding, fears were expressed by some that Mr McLean would not be able to hold it: Others were more sanguine and anticipated a substantial majority. The fight in this riding was just,as intense as in any riding in the Province,andalmosteveeyinfluenceand argument that could be used -was brought to bear a ainet Mr McLean. Mr Weismiller had the advantage o 94 being in the field long before his op- ponent, had run twice before in prac- tically the same constituency, was of German descent, (as are a lot of the electors) and therefore had elements in his favor that Mr McLean had not. In addition to this, the latter gentleman was a pronounced prohibitionist, while a large portio -.i of the electorate were not. Fright from the outset Mr Mc • Lean had a hard contest, and hefought it honorably and fair, coming out victoridus: True, his majority is not large by any means, and is to some ex- tent ditaappointing, but it is enough to insure this seat. He will be an acquisi- tion to the house, will prove an excel- lent representative and South Huron' will have no reason whatever to regret its choice. LIBER3LS.

Of the three new seats added the Lib- erals captured two and the Conserva- tives one. Twenty-two members of the last House did not seek re-election. Thirteen members of the last House were defeated at the polls. Forty-four new members will take seats in the Eighth Parliament, only fifty members of the last house being returned. The first returns announced the de- feat of Hon. G. W. Ross, but this was afterwards corrected. This is now the third time that he has lost and won his constituency all in one night, Thrice has he been whipped out of his boots at sundown and thrice has he stood forth victorious lal er on in the evening. In Toronto the largest vote ever cast at any election was recorded. There were 29,495 votes cast in the four To- rontos, of which only 11,753 were cast against the Conservative candidates. Taking the city altogether it is Con- servative by a majority of 6,742 votes. Summerhill NOTES. -Mr G. M. Kilty was at Smith's Hill on Saturday on business. Mr R.

Law and family being about to leave Belgrave soon, anumber of their friends and well wishers met at the manse on Tuesday evening the 19th inst., ,and presented Mr Law with an address, accompanied with a purse of money. Tne address read was as fol- lows:- REV. ol- lows:REV. AND DEAR SIIH-We, your friends and well-wiehers in the Presbyterian ohuroh, Belgrave, regret that circumstances in connection with the union of Belgrave and Calvin churches have rendered it ne- cessary for you to resign your charge of our ohuroh. We would, however, take this opportunity of assuring you of our heartfelt gratitude to you, for your loving and faithful discharge of duties in the pulpit, for your sympathy with ne when •any of us had seasons of affliction, and for your readiness to visit, comfort and cheer ns when in sorrow or distress. We would extend to Mrs Law also our thanks for her willingness to lend a helping band i' all good works, but especially for her services as leader of praise in the ohuroh,, Now, sir, that you are about to leave ne, we would ask your acceptance of thio gift, and beg you to look upon itnot as payment for work done, but as a small token of onr appreciation of the truth of your minister- ial services among no, and as an evidence of the esteem in which you are held by ne all. Trusting that the blessing of God may rest upon you and yours in whatever field you may be called to labor. Signed on behalf of the donors, JAS. FERGUSON, DAVID GEDDES, ALBERT COLE. The Rev. gentleman then in a feeling and appropriate address, thanked the numerous, intelligent, and respectable gathering of friends itt the manse that evening for their kindness in present- ing him with the address and money, reviewed at some length the pleasant and social relations that until lately had always existed between them as pastor and people for upwards of ten years back, and concluded by again thanking them for theiresteem and good wishes, hoping that prosperity both temporal and spiritual might attend them all whilst journeying through the present world. A pithy and spirited address was then given by Mr Geo. Hood, chairman of the meeting, another by Mr John Young, and vocal and in- strumental music by Mr C. and the Misses McClelland. A plentiful sup- ply of excellent provisions provided by the ladies were distributed. Then followed more music by some of the younger people and others, and gener- al social conversation by the older ones, when ata seasonable hour, and after sing "Auld Lang Syne," all quiet- ly dispersed, well pleased with the suc- cess of the entertainment, 'givifig-fir and Mrs Law and young daughter a; hearty good-bye, and wishing them every success and happiness wherever' their ht may he cast in the future+ tri'...... Bayfield. (Owing to our Bayfloid budget arriving at a late hour, we are unavoidably compelled to condense it this week. -En. NEw Rae.] EneosroN.-The election day is over and Bayfield has come through the fight with an addition of about fifteen Reformers to its voting citizens. At the last election there were only between thirteen and eighteen votes polled for Mr Bishop, while at this there were thirty.one. The cause of this great difference may be variously ac- counted for. RIVER Home -The River hotel has long been a favorite with the visiting public, and no year has the prospects been better for a full house than this. Since Mr Ed. R. Swarts bought this hotel last year, he has made many improvements, refurnishing it throughout, and adding generally to its at- tractiveness. A new piano now occupies a place in the parlor, ler the entertainment of guests, while a number of boats are kept by Mr Swarts, specially for River Hotel visitors. This house is admirably situated on the bank of the river, and commands a magnifioient view of the lake and the unex- celled and picturesque scenery of the river. The verandah running along the front is an excellent retreat on a eultry summer day, the never -failing breeze from the lake al- ways finding its way here. Mr Swarts is a very obliging proprietor, and the River hotel will no doubt get the patronage of a goodly share of the samier resorters.
