It's "the other fellow" who looks - blue. The Liberals are not in mourning this trip. The people show that they own the country yet. ' The Hurons and Liberalism are syno- nomous terms. Too much Tupper was :ine cause for TL upper's defeat. Why not take a plebiscite on abo- lishing the Senate. It is the old flag still, with a new leader and a new policy. Even "Caleb Jenkins" iseupposed to have voted for Laurier. The people evidently do not think the N. P. made them rich. The Liberals have promised reforms which they must practise. The business of the cou.itry will now 'be conducted on business principles. Moses was a meek man but there's -ggn more' ust now who are meeker. Those fellows who p.efiie.ted_e, -ssia- jitritV of 30 for Tupper have some bad r,medreine to take, As we did no boasting before the election, our readers will forgive us if we do a little Bbonting after it. Mr Weismiller will hardly be able to realize on that government appoint- ment which it is said he has in his pocket. The Hamilton temp ranee candidates deserved the licking , hey got -and are now no doubt sorryithey ran, as both lose their deposits. No small amount of the Liberal suc- cess was due to the fair, able an gistent advocacy of the Liberal plies by the Toronto Globe. per- incr. r, , John Chas.

"Abratn's call" is the first sermon of ! the series. The evening subject is "Songe of the Bible." It has been decided that the Lay Wor kers' Association of the Synod of London will hold its next meeting in Clinton, in October next. It is expect- ed that between two and three hun- dred persons will he present, and our townspeople should lay their plans raearly for the entertainment of this number. We should not only be less than Liberal, we would be less than human, if we did not feel delight in the great viotory won on Tuesday. For a long time the Liberal par- ty bas been struggling againet heavy odds. Eaoh time that viotory seemed to bein sight the uneorupuloue opponent was able to snatoh it away by some unmanly eoheme that prevented a fair expression of publio opinion, or prevented such expression from having its legitimate effect. In spite of the boasted faith in the N.P., the Conservative party did not trust it to keep them in pow- er, but when forced. to face the electorate, packed the jury by the infamous gerryman- der aot-an act which some of its old sup- porters are to -day completely ashamed of. Talk of British fair play! The leaders who propoeed, and the party who passed such an sot, deliberately planned to tie the hands of their opponents, did not know the meaning of the worde " air p ay. " . en, in apt e o this disadvantage, Blake carried the ooun- try in 1886, a most corrupt purchase of a portion of the representatives of -Quebec, still kept hie opponents in power, and Can- ada carries the additional debt. Then that hideous Franchise Act, an equally deliber- ate attempt to thwart public opinion. No wonder the blood of honest men•boils at such deliberate dishonesty, fraud and injustice. All this apart from the carnival of boodle and corruption that has characterized the Conservative regime. The turn in the lane has been reached. The last attempt of the most corrupt government that the history of the Anglo-Saxon race furnishes us with, was as clear an effort to thwart public opin- ion as the other nefarious acts. Thank heaven, it has failed, and the overwhelming defeat of the Tapper combination, has gone fir to restore the good name that Canada enjoyed under the Mackenzie -Blake regime' No more purchase of constituencies by pub- lic money, no more bleeding of contractors for corrupt purposes, no more coercion of provinces for the sake of maintaining a most corrupt government in power, no more attempts to pack the jury by gerrymander or Franchise sots, will stain the page of Canadian history for many years to come. One can hardly avoid wishing that honest Alex Mackenzie had lived to see the day of retribution, towards which his noble life and words bas helped his country Now the light of freedom and justice breaks. Long may Canada walk in that light, and death to any man or any party, Liberal or Conservative, or nondescript, that dares to try to extinguish it. Let Canada never for- get the noble men who have brought about the turn in the tide of her affairs. All hon- or to the men who, to free their country from the menace of prepetual thraldom un- der corruption, threw party ties to the winds, and dared the curses and bloating epithets of former friends. Double honor to the noble French Canadian and his faith- ful followers who have taught the lesson that, in Canada, never again need a body of Bishops, or priests, or clerks, or minis- ters of any kind or name, hope, by claim- ing infallibility, to ooeroe free men into vot- ing againet conscience. Perish forever this division of Protestant and Catholic in poli- tica ! Let all Canadians adopt the platform of Mr Laurier and learn to look at all ques- tions, not from the Catholic, not from the Protestant standpoint, but from the stand- point of Canadian patriotism, and Cana- dian juatice. Long live the leader who hue so manfully fought and won, and may his example not be lost on Canadian citizens. "Ye are brothers, yo are men," let each church say to each, and while we may worship houeetly at different altars, each holding himself - gcponntable- to - his Gee', - ewe shall work shoulder to shoulder tor the good and the honor of our common country. Church Notes. Rev. W. T. Uluff has resigned his charge at Fenton, Mich.; he is a broth- er of R. J. Cluff, of Clinton. Rev. J. W. /Milton, late of Walker- ton, and formerly orClinton is sta- tioned this year at Niagara Falls. A congregational meeting to consid er the purchase of a parsonage was held in Rattenbury street church last night, Thursday. The monthly literary and musical nit „ing in connection with the Bap- tist Y'oubg People's Society will be held&ob' Monday evening next.

U. T. U. thankfully acknowledge the reciept of $73,63 far the above fund, being the amount raised by s ecial collections in the Presbyterian, Baptist, Rattenbury street and Ontario street churches. Any one wishing to add to the amount no matter how small a euro, the same will be thankfully received up to noon on Saturday, 27th inst., by Mrs Crich, president W. C, .T. U., Huron street, west of Mr Rurnb411's carraige factory. Rev. R. Millyard will assume the pastorate of Rattenbury St. Methodist church on Sunday next. Concerning him the St. Thomas Journal, of Mon- day, says: -"The three years' pastor- ate just closed has been one of remark- able progress in the history of the church, spiritually, numerically and financially. Durtng Mr Millyard's pastorate, he has received into church membership about 100ersons. The various departments ofp the church have also been largely increased, the Christian Endeavor Society and Sun- day School, each 1iav ing increased' about thirty per cent. The church and basement have been beautifully renovated at a cost of about $1,00X1, and the church is now in an excellent condition. In addition to this $1,200 have been raised to apply in reducing mortgage and $700 on notes, leaving the mortgage at present $2,500, and a floating debt of about $200. Sunday evening the church was packed to the doors to hear the pastor's farewell sermon. In opening his remarks Mr Millyard stated that those who came expecting to hear a special farewell sermon would be disappointed. as he never preached farewell sermons. He always preached each sermon as if it was his farewell set mon. His last ser- mon on an old charge and the first ser- mon on a new one were alike to him, viz., to preach the gospel of Christ. To CORRESPONDENTS. -Considerable of our country correspondence reaches us by the [nails of Wednesday. As Wednesday next, the 1st of July, is a holiday, correspondents will oblige us by mailing copy on Tuesday, if possible. Where this cannot conveniently be done, mail Wednesday afternoon, as usual. Don't miss mailing some time if it can be avoided. Two EXCURSIONS. -The I. O. F. run an excursion to Sarnia to -morrow, Sat- urday, and the Methodist choir of Sea - forth also run one to the same place to -day and to -morrow, taking in Gode- rich and intervening points. The price of tickets is the same in both in- stances; but the choir train arrives in Sarnia an hour earlier than the other, leaving Clinton at 6.30 a. m., so that excursionists have a choice of routes. SEAFORTH BEATS CLINTON.- A re- turn name at bowls was played at Sea - forth on Monday, Seaforth winning. The score stools 28 to 38, 10 in favor of Seaforth, as follows:- CLINTON. SEAFORTH. W.

Colemat, skip 15 skip 16 28 38 THE POLITICAL WIND -UP. -Mr Kilty held a well attended meeting in the town hall, last Friday evening. Mr Hoover injthe chair. He spoke to an attentive audience for about an hour and a half and then, as they say, "something occurred which was not down on the bills." He charged Mr. Todd of the News -Record with distort- ing ,corespondence which bad been sent in for publication, which Mr Todd denied, but Mr. Kitty proved by the corespondent that bis charge was cor- rect, and then proceeded to handle him without gloves, Todd in the inter- im attempting to defend himself; the independent candidate was altogether too many for the other, and the audi- ence seemed to enjoy the flaying he got., and which many said he deserved. Mr Kilty held a meeting on the Bay- field line, Goderich Township, on Sat-, urday afternoon, speaking for half -an - hour from his buggy, and allows r John Beacom the same time' •, nen Mr Kitty attempted to rep.ir they would not give him a aimed g. On Saturday evening MessForrester Garrow, epee Holmes ale ` .dcGillicuddy addressed a meetiyr at Holweavile in the interest of Mfameron. On Wednesday a peaty full vote was polled in town and the Conservatives managed to hold MrCameron's majority down to 21; this was due partly to the fact that all the outside vote was brought in which was not the case in the by election. The Liberals got their returns after the election by wire in the town hall, Mr James Jackson manipulating the tele- graph key, while the Conservatives got their returns on the market square using thelband stand;it was noticed that the Conservatives were not very en- thusiastic, while the Liberals, on the other hand were in good s itits, and when the final returns give the Liberals the victory they allowed vent to their feelings in three rousing cheers for Laurier and Cameron, the Conser- vatives 'Folding their tent like the Arab, And silently stealing away.' Some of the boys started a bonfire in spite of opposition, and then a few im- promptu speeches wound up what will be the historic cha.npaign of 1896. Hensal l CHURCH. -On Sabbath evening last Rev F. Swann preached his farewell sermon, previous to moving to Dun. gannon, bis new circuit. During his three years' ministry here both he and his esteemed wife have shown by their lives how Christains should live Mr Swnnn's successor; Rev W. B. Kerr. arrived on Wednesday, and received a hearty welcome by his eongregatlon. Rev James Walker, of Kipper' circuit, Who has Jived in Oar millet for :three yearly, -mored. en .

"Well, lad," "Who struck Walter Man- ning on Tuesday night?" "I didn't hear he was hurt; was there a row among the Grits?", "I don't know; but 1 beard them asking who struck bimi his face was so long and blue about ntid-night." "You young scamp, 1 thought you were home in bed long before mid- night, I,didn't see you in the crowd." '1 got cold, pa; the Tory crowd got so thin the wind whistled right through it. Besides, I couldn't understand their arithmetic out there. Their numbers made the Grits gain most, but still they kept the Tories in a ma- jority. Atschool we learn that two plus two makes four, you see. So I went into the hall; it was fine and warm there.". "Grit sm.oket 1 suppose; they would all be puffing like steam engines.' "But wasn t it fun, pa, on Tuesday, to hear George Doherty whoopiu' her up for Kilty and no coercion of Mani- toba." "Bahl George is too true blue a Tory to get so near the Grit camp as Kitty was. When the Ethiopian changes his skin and the leopard his spots then you may expect George to turn his coat." "Is it a mortal sin to turn your coat, pari" "Oh, well, no; 1 shouldn't like to say that exactly. It would be sad to con- template his satanic majesty exerting himself to find room for all the good Tories that went over on Tuesday. They ought to be ashamed of them-_ -salves alrthe sante." "But., pa, they said they could not stand old Tupper at $10,000 a year, salary and expenses, and the young Toppers and son-in-law Cameron, who general what -ye -call -him says, is no rood in the Military college. Then . ,, H gur'tb tail- race, and many of er things besides Tupper, they say they could not swal- low, seeing 1 hey had not throats as big es a gorge of the Rocky moun- taine." Well they need not pretend to be so squeamish; they used to take their castor oil for the good of the country in general when the old chieftain han- dled the spoon. I guess Popper is a bit rough in his way, though.' "Pa, you said Kilty was nearly a Grit. Last week you told me the Girts would squeeze Manitoba. He said he would never force Manitoba to change her schools. Would he say one thing and do another?" "Well, perhaps not; George is a pret- ty honest fellow after all, although it was a trifle comic to see him steal a, leaf out of the Jesuit book in his at- tempt to prove that the Bishops and priests were helping Laurier. It ser- ved our purpose all the same, although it did not keep all our fellows from voting Laurier," "It's pretty hard to understand poli- tics, isn'tit, pa?" "Right, my boy; my own brain is rather muddled by this awful shock. I think we had both better go to bed and dream over it." "Gond night, pa." "Good night." liol nresvil le. ENTERTAINMENT. -The R. T. of T. Council intend bolding an open meet- ing in the near future, at which the program will consist chiefly of a session of mock parliament. It will doubtless prove to be very interesting.

ELECTION Noris. -The election was a grand success. Three cheers for Lau- rier, Mowat and Canada's prosperity. There must be some mean men even in West Huron; a man that would pro- mise to vote for the Independent can- didate, and then cast his ballot for hie old party is mean enough to steal sheep. In the gravel pit next day the Conservative element was largely lack- ing; out of over twenty men there were only two, and they were so up- set that they did not get there till an hour after the rest. Won't there be a shaking of fat bones down at Ottawa. What will all those leeches do for a living now? Better go down to the vile earth from whence they sprung. Varna. WEDDING. -A very pleasing event took place in Goderioh township on Wednesday evening, when Mr 1. E. R. Harnwell , the popular teacher and prinoipal of Varna Public School, captivated one of Goderioh township's fairest damsels, in the person of Frances, third daughter of Mr Ga briel El- liot. The ceremony waa performed by Rsv Mr Oaten, of Bayfield, assisted by Rev Henry Harnwell, brother of the groom, and Rev W. W. Leech, Varna. The bride was aseiteed by her sister, Miss Maud Elliot, while Master Gabriel Elliott, the bride's nephew, acted as the bride's page. The groom was ably supported by his brother, Thos. fl-attiwell.
