Sir` Chafed, Tripper, they would have
fared he ter. The latter was undoubt-
edly a strong man, in a political sense,
but. be was eo thoroughly overbearing
and eggtiettic that even his own fol-
lowere•were dissatisfied with him.
On the other hand the Liberals were
never marc united; there was n
hand
ternal strife, with them;,
d
abundant and abiding confidence in
their leader; they regarded him as a
man nil Whom.they could place implicit
dependence, -and above all, they real-
ized thht he was fighting .for the"prin-
cXple�., ,of religious freedom, as lead-
ing plank in his platform.

Algoma will not vote till next week,
butas it has invariably stood in with
the Government of the day, and a
Laurier Administration being now
certain, the Liberal candidate will
doubtless be elected. The total ma-
Xity against Tupperism in the new
se, will be at least 49. Not count -
;c -Patron or Independent on his
n' i e= -and on the great questions at
i'fir ' igsue the greater portion of these will
vote with the Liberals — Hon. Mr
Laurier will have close on 40 of a ma-
jority --plenty large enough to carry on
the business of the country.
The cities stood up for Liberalism
and good Government in a marked
manner, excepting London, where Mr
:Hyman is defeated by alleged crook-
edness, and Winnipeg, where Hugh
John McDonald was elected. There
were gains for the Liberals in Halifax,
Hamilton (two seats,) Center Toronto,
Montreal (four seats), Ottawa two
seats); Kingston, Quebec city (three
seilts,) and St. John, N.B., (two seats.)
The Liberal victory in Hamilton is
particularly significant, for the Liber-
als had to fight against two govern-
ment candidates, and two Liberals as
well, who were running on the temper-
- ance ticket. The sneering remark can
no longer be made that the great cen-
ters of trade and commerce are against
the Liberal party. "
Nova Scotia, the home of the Top-
pers, gave the elder Sir Charles his
answer. le ' told us that he would
sweep it. The result is a great Liber-
al victory. In 1891, there were 16 Con-
servatives and 5 Liberals in the Nova
Scotia contingent. In the House
which assembles at Ottawa on July 16
there will be 12 Liberals and 8 Conser-
vatives. Hon. Mr Fraser, Hon. Mr
Mcisaac, and Hon. Mr Longley will
prove ae leaders from Nova Scotia.
In Sp Brant Mr Paterson, the
i+
ppopul - i, beral, was defeated. In
Bothwell»«rthe Hon. David Mills, ex-
Liberal.M'itister of the Interior, gives
place to'11'ir Clancy, formerly in the
Local House. Mr Danes, Liberal, was
defeated •in South Wellington. Mr
Grieves, Liberal, defeated in North
Perth by Mr McLaren, the prominent
cheesenlan, while Mr Erb, Liberal, de-
feated the late member Pridham, in
• South Perth. In East Lambton it
was at first said Mr Frazer, brother of
T. Frazer, Stanley, was elected, but it
is in doubt; possibly with Fraser yet
elected. Messrs Tarte and Marten
are also among the prominent Liberals
defeated, while four Cabinet Ministers
Angers, Taillon, Desjardine and Dick-
ey, were beaten, as was also the notor-
ious J.C.Rykert. In Waterloo Mr Bow-
man, Liberal member, was defeated by
Mr Seagram, distiller, a man said to be
very popular with all classes. The el-
ection of a Liberal in Toronto marks a
new era in the history of that city

LAURIFtZ IS VICTORIOUS
The . Dominion comes back to Liberalism, with a majority of at least 25.
Four Cabinet Ministers and the Speaker defeated. Winnipeg elects
Hugh John. and London defeats Hyman. Prominent Liberals beaten.
Heron returns three Liberals. Quebec solid for Laurier;
THE HURONS
The three seats in this county stand
true to Liberalism. In the North Rid-
ing the old member, Dr,t, McDonald,
has been re-elected by a substantial
majority 100; it wasnever expected that.
it Would be otherwise, notwithstand-
ing the boasts of the papers. In fact
We have reason to believe that the
Conservative candidate only felt a
half-hearted interest in the campaign,
because of the strong opposition he
had in the late member.
°In South Huron either the Liberal
vote Wag not polled, or else Mr Hays
developed unexpected A,$trength; we
have not yet the figures for the rid-
ing, bat the reported majority of 860
for Mr McMillan is not what be should
have in a hive, of this nature. How -
vett. We ate not • going to find fault
with even so substantial a majority as
this.
Vest Huron, always strong fight-
• ing ground, , was where an unusual
contest'toolt place. For the first time
in its history it experienced a three -
cornered Contest. In the person of Mr
Cameron the Liberals had the strong-
est possible candidate they could get,
and they believed in their ability to
elect him, even If the contest had been
narrowed to two catldidates. When
Mr tufty entered the "field as an inde-
pendent candidate,, ananifested his
determination to ,find.tght to the end, it
