WEST HURON.
r, r .r.,,•..
It is `entirely unnecessary for us to
say that we are pleased West Huron
,has again .fallen into line with Liberal
principles, and is once more represent-
,: 'ed by that stalwart Liberal Mr M. C.
Cameron. So far as the paper was
concerned in the contest, we carefully
avoided any bitterness, and fought on
;; what we believed to be perfectly
igtforward and honorable lines.—
Witl0thatrefeetirz, in the slightest_on
Mr Weismiller, who conducted a fair
campaign from his standpoint, but
used some wretchedly bad arguments,
we certainly believe that Mr Cameron
will more properlyrepresenttbe views
of the electors than would his oppon-
ent. On two occasions only West
Huron went against the Liberal party
'is Dominion matters, and while we do
of claim the constituency is Liberal
7 Amply because it gives Mr Cameron a
rity, we do claim it is not in sym-
i;..; :. with the general policy of the
n Government. It has most
• condemned that policy, and
i-irf
1nortunate thing is that at no
✓;• stint date the electors will again be
`Called upon to endure the strife and
termoil incident to a general election.
HE NEW DOMINION CABI-

Our treaders have already been in-
t tined of the split, or, as the Censer-
vatives themselves call it, "the little
family quarrel," in the Cabinet at Ot-
tawa, and are now, no doubt, anxious
to learn what has been or expected to
,., be the upshot of this unprecedented,
and not altogether flattering, event in
the history of this conntry. That har-
mony d:dnot exist in the "family cir-

If the Liberals had gone into rebel-

The Nova Scotia giant, Mr Fraser,
who spoke hese on behalf of Mr Came-
ron, only weighs 378 lbs, and he's as
good a speaker and jolly as a man, as
he is big.
The new Dominion ballot is much
too small, necessitating the use of type
that is indistinct, especially for aged
voters. They should he at least twice
as large.
Mr Greenway seems to have a strong
hold on the sympathies of the people of
Manitoba, as the elections of Wednes-
day give him another lease of power,
with a good majority.

ronto, is doing excellent work at the

ducted by Mr Moore.
A most excellent Topic card has been
issued for the use of the senior League

and treated the whole of the inmates
to oranges.

ACCIDENT.—Mr John McDowell, of
the 2nd con., eon -in-law of Mr Angus
McDermid, of the Union road while
engaged around a grain crusher last
Thursday, had the misfortune to lose
the greater part of four fingers of his
right hand. This makes three of the
brightest and cleverest young farmers
in this section who have been mained
for life while working with machinery
in the past two months. We learn
that Messrs Black and McIntosh, of
Tuckersmith, who were injured some
time ago, are progressing as well as
can be expected.

ODDFELLOWS. — Wednesday after•
noon and evening found this town in
posession of Oddfellowc from all parts
of the county. In the afternoon the
district meeting was held, and in the
evening six new members took upon
themselves the solemn obligations of
the order, in the fine hall of Fidelity
Lodge. The degree work was exempli-
fied by teams from Exeter, Hensall and
Clinton. The dramatic and pantonine
parts were performed most admirably,
and could not fail to make a lasting im-
pression for good on the minds of all
present, and particularly to impress
the grand aims of the Order on the
young men just entering it. During
the evening the visitors, to the num-
ber of about a hundred, partook of an
oyster supper, provided for them by
the hospitable members of Fidelity
lodge.

GENTLEMEN,—In a critical period in
the history of Canada, you did me the
honor of electing me to represent you
in Parliament, as a solemn protest
against the mismanagement of our
public affairs. I heartily thank both my
Liberal and Conservative friends for
the honor so„conferred, There is hope
for Canada when the great consum-
ing masses abandon their party allegi•
ance in the interest Of the common
land. There is more hope for Canada
now, when men of all shades of posit i -
cal thought unite to stem the tide of
mis-gover nment and corruption and
to elevate political life to a higner ai,d
nobler plane. My humble efforts will
be used in your interests to that end.
I thank platform speakers, canvassers,
electors, one and all, for this last and
pronounced confidence in me and ap-
proval of the cause I so long and still
ad vocate.
I have the honor to he,
Yours trulyt
M. U. CAMERON,

At the vine -regal reception at Ottawa on
Saturday night in the Senate chamber, the
costumes of the ladies who attended were
very lovely. Evening -dress was worn, and
almost everyone also wore the white court
veil, which is so attractive. Lady Aber-
deen's costume was magnificent. It was
of heliotrope brocade, with the regulation
court train of purple velvet, trimmed with
ermine. •The corsage was trimmed with
Irish lane, studded with jewels, and her Ex-
cellency wore a ooronet of diamonds, and a
necklet of amethysts and pearls. She car-
ried a spray boquet on roses and maiden-
hair ferns. The Governor-General was
dressed in Windsor costume, and bore the
insignia of his various orders. The pages
attending her excellency were her two sons,
Hon. Archie and Hon. Dudley Gordon,
who were in court rage costume of a color
to match her gown. -
