IS WEST HURON CONSERVATIVE ?
We have observed that for some
time past our town contemporary has
been wrestling with that very import-
ant and very difficult question, "Is
West Huron a Liberal -Conservative
Constituency ?" Last week, after a
terrible struggle in the editorial sanc-
tum, he fairly gave it the broad of its
back on the floor, and stood the proud
victor over bis prostrate enemy, though
panting rapidly, with the perspiration
streaming from his manly brow. Let
us see how far our cotem's, statements
hold good. In 1882 when West Huron
first loomed up as a distinct entity on
the political horizon and clairned re-
presentation in the Dominion Parlia-
ment, our contemporary makes the
startling discovery that it had a Liberal
Conservative majority Of 150, and he
assumes that this majority has remain-
ed there ever since. Let us see. In
the first contest in the new riding the
Liberal candidate was elected by 27—
no 150 Conservative majority there.
In 1887 the Conservatiye candidate was
elected by about the same number—
the 150 Conservative majority was still
absent, In 1891 the Liberal candidate
was elected by nearly 400—the 150
Conservative majority still being very
much absent. In 1892 the Conservative
candidate was victorous,itfter a hard
fought battle by only about 17—and
the assumed 150 Conservative majority
was still conspicuous by their absence.
Now, if West Huron is a Conserya-
tiee constituency and should have a
respectable Conservative majority,
why did it not appear distinctly on
these four occasions? The pertinent
enquiry is suggested, what have our
Grit opponents done with, and where
have they kept it hidden during all
these years 7 And jest here our con-
temporary's intellectual dexterity and
shining candor are displayed in all
their force, for with the profound
simplicity of childlike innocence he
declares
electors enp
blandly
uehLbeeral candidate. Canit be possible that he Wishes us to be-
lieve that men holding unmistakable

Huron, as in other constituencies,
there are some wen, more or less in
number, who having ne settled
political convictlone are quite indiffer-
ent to all discussions on public affairs,
and hake no deckled pretexence for the
policy of one party ever that of the
other? These men may be induced to
support a Grit candidate, either by
sound argurnent,or—hard cash. If the
first Mode of persuasion has been
adopted to drive the "loose fish'; into
the Grit net the catch i,s creditable
alike to the ability and eloquence of
the orator; if the latter plan has been
used then the act is both illegal and
dishonorable. By this suggestion we
hold out to our brother a helping hand
to pull hire out of the nasty hole into
which his ardent temperament hae
caused hit i to stumble. If he accepts
our proffered assistance, good and well,
we shall be satisfied ; but if through
huge ingratitude he scorns our willing
aid, and still insists that West Huron
has 150 of a Conservative majority,
then we demand of him, if he wishes
\to he esteemed an honest man, that on
the very first occasion, whether a bye
or general election, that he produce
those 150Conservative voters whore he
has secreted so long, and restore them
to the party to which they rightly be-
long. If he fails to do this, then we
shall feel constrained to consult our
solicitor whether an actioO will not lie
against him as knowingly receiviug
and concealing stolen goods.
CURRL'N7' TOPICS.
The plucky Dr. Symth has declined
to again face Harty, Boodle & Co.,
while the Grits preach purity. In a
fair election Smyth would have easily
won.
Why have the Grits of West Huron,
and our town cotern. particularly, so
long concealed the 150 Conservative
majority ? Is it not about time the
stolen goods were restored to the right-
ful owner ?
When our town cotes, harps about
150 Conservative majority for West
Huron, one is constrained to think of
Harty's dishonorable triumph and
downfall in Kingston.
Finance Minister Foster has , belied
the Grit utterances in parliament that
we would have a deficit of six or seven
million dollars. The deficit is half a
million less than Mr. Foster declared
we would have. And still the Grits
are not satisfied.
Mail and Empire :—In considering
the outlook in West Huron,THE HuR,)n
NEWS -RECORD says :—"It is not likely,
in the event of a bye -election, that
there will be rnore candidates than
Patron Forrester and a straight
Conservative. The Reform party, as a
party, will of course support Mr. For-
rester." It should be retnembered
there are still scores of Liberals and
Patrons who insist that the Patron or-
ganization is not the agricultural wing
of the Liberal party.
Re/grave Fall Show.
The fall show of the East Wawanosh
Agricultural Society was held at Bel -
grave on Monday and Tuesday of last
week. The display in the inside de-
partments was good, even the fruit
making a very creditable exhibit. The
fine arts and ladies department was
well filled and the competition close.
The weather was fine on - Tuesday,
though e, little cool and there was a
pretty large crowd. The show of
horses was Cully up to the average and
in cattle some hne animals were shown.
Sbeep and pigs were well represented,
but it was noticable that there was not
a Tamworth pig shown . Pork packers
highly recommend this breed as pro-
ducing a superior meat for their pur-
pose, but they do not appear to have
been taken up by our farmers to any
extent asyet. Implements were shown
in good variety. The show as a whole
was quite successful and the officers of
the society will conte out with a stir -
plus to still furter add to their prize
list and enlarge their show. The prize

Catarrh in the Head
Is a dangerous disease because it hi
liable to result in loss• of hearing or
smell, or develop into consumption.
Read the following: o
"My wife has been a s>,rfferer from
catarrh for the past lour years and the
disease had gone so far that her eyesight
was affeotod so that for nearly a year
she was unable to read for more than five
minutes at a time. She suffered severe
pains in the head and at times was almost
distracted. About Christmas, she com-
menced taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
since that time has Steadily improved.
jihe has taken six bottles of Hood's Sar-
saparilla and is on the road to a complete
cure. I cannot speak too highly of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and I cheerfully recommend
It." W. H. FunsIlsa, Newmarket, Ontario.

Grain—The local market goes on in
the same groove. Oats sell at from 30c
to 301c and other grains continue very
dull. Wheat, No. 1 hard, nominal ;
wheat, No. 2 hard, nominal ; corn,
duty paid, nominal ; peas, per 66 lbs,

Cheese—We now quote 71e to 7jc for
finest western September make, though
in some instances it has been quoted at
from 8c to 81c. As far as we can learn
about 7Sc is the top price, and a small
sale was made at this figure. There is
it fair demand reported for this variety,
but nothing much .is being done in
other goods. There We, steady feeling
on spot, and values' have a slightly
upward tendency. We quote :—Finest
Ontario, 7gc to 7jc; finest eastern, 71c
to 7fIc ; Quebec, 7jc to 71c.
Butter—The local market shows a
much improved feeling and it is said
that a better business is passing and
increased export demand. Values
show an upward tendency, and an
advance is reported of lc all round.
The finest creamery is quoted at 18c to
19c. There is a flrm tone prevailing in
the market, and we quote :—Finest
creamery, 18c to 19c; townships, 14c to
16c ; western dairy, 12c to 15e.

The Harvest Home festival in con-
nection with the church here on Thurs-
day evening the 3rckinst. was not a suc-
cess financiallyy owing possibly to the
hard times. The gross proceeds were
a little over sixteen dollars. The ladies
did their part well as is usual in this
vacinity and the result was a magnifi-
cent spread. Rural' Dean Hodgins
wrote that it was impossible for trim
to come but although our pastor Rev.
Win. Stout waited lodng, none of the
other rev. gentlemen on the bilis put
in an appearance except our former
pastor the Rev. L. W. Diehl who drove
all the way from Ailsit Craig. Owing
to so mony speakers being announced
very little programme was prepared
except some musical selections and as a
result there was some disappointment
in regard to this part of the festival
but it was no fault of the committee or
pastor that .such was the case. There
will be a balance on hand after paying
for all the improvements to the church
to date.
