The official returns give Mr. Camer- on a majority of 190 over Mr. Weis - miller. There isa total vote of between 5,000 and 6,000 on the lists. but to he within the mark we will call it 5,000. Out of 5,000 votes 3,628' were polled, leaving a balance of 1,372 votes not polled. UndRr ordinary circumstances Mr. Weismiller world have received at least two-thirds of the unpolled vote and gained a great victory. The many difficulties he had to contend with are familiar to our readers. Under the circumstances the conservatives of West Huron put up one of the best battles ever made in the ,Riding. The result goes to show that if the party will be united for the general election West Huron will re- turn a Conservative. The Grit jubilation meeting at Gode- rich broke up with cheers for Cameron and Laurier, and some of those who cheered voted for Cameron to have hire oppose Laurier ! And still some people cannot see through the diabol- ical game of deception. Time will reveal the result. The hollow mockery of politics was never more clearly shown than in the sympathy expressed by the Liberals for Sir Mackenzie Rowell during the ate crisis. AND h O it ALL IS WAIL. The announcement of the reconstruc- ted Cahinet was not made on Tuesday as had been expected, but on Wednes- day + fter routine Sir Adolphe Caron made the following official statement : "The statement 1 am about to maks has been submitted to the Governor- General by the Prime Minister, and I eau authorized tc say that in its bear- ing on the position of the Crown in emitters of this nature, it has his Excel- lency's approval : "Since reference was made in this House to the retirement from office of certain members of the government the Prime blidister has had an oppor- tunity of carefully reviewing the cir- cumstances connected with those resig- nations, and hits satisfied himself that, the best interests of the country would be served—notwithstanding any differ- ence of opinion that, exist respecting the importance of filling the portfolio made vacant by the resignation of the Hon. Mr. Angers—by the return to their former pnsitiuns in the Cabinet„ by those who deemed it their duty to retire on account of that vacancy. While it is true that this point was freely discussed between the Prime Minister and his colleagues, it is equal- ly true that the Prime Minister did not regard that vacancy—the impor- tance of filling which cannot be ques- tioned—as a sufficient reason for the resignation of any rnemher of the government. This 'view, however, was not concurred in by sorne of his colleagues, who utged that the meet- ing of parliament with a Quebec port- folio vacant, might seriously imperil certain important treasures to be pre- sented during the session. He had reasonable hopes of being able to fill that position up to the very day when parliautent met, and was disappoiuted when his efforts failed. After the opening of parliament certain mem- bers of the government sent in their resignations to the Prime Minister, giving among other reasons the fact that 'having failed to fill the portfolio,' and that he evidently 'intended to go on with the transaction of public business with an incomplete Cabinet,' they thought this course so great 'a departure from sound consti- tutional practice and so weak as a mat- ter of policy' that they were 'unwilling any longer to retnnin as members of an incomplete government. "Since the receipt of the resignations referred to the objections put forward by the Ministers who resigned have been removed by the acceptance of a seat in the Chbinet by the Honorable Alphonse Desjardius, a gentleman well known and esteemed in the Province of Quebec for his ability and integrity of character and by the accession to the Ministry of Sir Charles Tupper, Bart. "Under the circumstances and with these objections removed the Ministers who resigned have deetned it consistent with duty to their country to resume the positions they respectively held in the Government. It is gratifying, therefore, to be able to inform the House and the country that a Ministry has been formed which will command the support of the majority in Parlia- ment and enable ars to proceed with the measures foreshadowed in the speech from the throne. The Government as re -constructed is as follows : Sir Mackenzie Howell—President of the Council. Sir Charles Trapper, Bart.—Secretary of State. Sir Adolphe Caron — Postmaster - General. Hon.

He feels none the worse for his defeat in West Huron, but rather that a great "moral victory" has been won for the Conservative cause, con- sidering all the circumstances of the case. The unsettled state of parties at Ottawa at the time when the fight was in progress, no doubt favored the can- didature of the Opposition, and that is always the lesson of divided counsels; it is the warning that the friends of gond administr•aytion should every- where take to heart. In view of the ad- verse coudition which came to him ata time most irnopportune, Mr. Weis - miller trade a splendid showing, and had he had the support fr•oto headquar- ters which in ordinary circumstances would certainly have been given, he would have in all likelihood won by a good majority. As it was Mr. Cameron was elected by 190 major- ity, yet over 700 votes remained un - pulled, and a Targe proportion of these remained away from the polls owing to the state of affairs thea reigning at Ottawa. After events show that Mr. Weismiller, though badly handicapped, put up a capital and highly creditable contest, and it is very clear that if he did not succeed, the fault was none of his own. He can do it yet. --London Free Press THAT "CONSPIRACY." About the time of the nomination of a third candidate there was consider- able talk in West Huron. It was acknowledged on several political plat- forms that Mr. Newman, the P. P. A. candidate, had loaded up Grit stutnp- ers with the avowed purpose of assist- ing M. C. Cameron to win. At the official nurninatton in Goderich the matter was ventilated. Mr. Newman charged that among several others the editor of this paper had written or telegraphed to N. Clarke Wallace saying, "For God sake take this roan Newman out of the field 1" Sorne electors then believed the statement and sorne probably now believe it. We want to say once for all that the assertion is a fabrication and worthy only a deceiver. Mr. Newman said he had been rail- roaded out of the Riding by the Conser- vatives. This statement is a deliberate untruth. He also said the reason his nomina- tion papers were not accepted was be- cause he tendered the $200 deposit money in American hills and the Re- turning Officer refused to accept it. This is not true ; he did not tender a dollar of American or any other money. Mr. Newman said that if he had been legally nominated he would have resigned in favor of M. 0. Cameron, be- cause, as he declared, their policies were one and the sane. And again he said he had no inten- tion of running. A reporter of the Toronto Telegram DIES ! When in search of some- thing really Choice and Stylish in Mr. Jacob Wilcox of St. Thomas, Ontario, is one of the beet known men in that vicinity. He is now, he says, an old man, but Hood's Sarsaparilla has made him feel young again. "About a year ago I had a very -severe attack of the grip, which resulted in my not having a well day for several months afterwards. I was completely run down and my system was in a Terrible Condition. I lost flesh and became depressed in spirits. Finally a friend who had been benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla advised me to try it and I did so. I continued tak- ing 1t until I used twelve bottles and today 1 can honestly say Hood's Sarsa- parilla has restored me to my former health." JACOB WILco'8, Bt. Thomas, Ontario. - Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier Prominently in the public eye today. It cures when all other preparations fail. Hoods Pills the pill interviewed Mr. Newman and arrived at the conclusion that "he was the most unmitigated liar he had ever met!" This is pretty strong language, hut evidently no stronger than the cir- cumstances warranted. Even after all this the Toronto Globe had an interview with Mr. Newman, three o1 four days before the election He was not satisfied with the previous disgraceful exhibition he made of him- self and at respectable following, but continued on the same ofd line of mis- representation. Mr. Newman says, after reflection, "that the affair now would seem to be core spiracy," and that "I received my in- formation from persons who were de- sirous that I should contest in their in- terests West Huron." The following letter written by Mr. Newman, from the Globe of Saturday, will enable our readers to judge for themselves : Goderich, Ont., Jan. 12th, 1806. Mr. M. 0. Johnson, Goderich: "Dear Sir,—In the matter of my no- mination papers which has caused so much gossip, I was led to believe from information that you drew them up and delievered them as complete, and that when they were refused by the return- ing officer, because of omissions, it was, as a natural consequence, circulated that the fault was yours, and that feel- ing still prevails in the minds of a number of people. "I have been very vigilant in an investigation of the facts and have recently learned that you have heen misrepresented, that you informed the gentlemen to whom you handed the papers that they were incomplete and read for his information the act relat- ing thereto. "I, therefore, deem it my duty to write you as above in explanation of my supposition that yo,n were to Marne, and ask that you pardon me for harboring such thoughts, when, in point of fact, I find you to be entirely innocent of nov wrong intentions, and can only say flout the affair now would 0 S TS, Ask to be shown Corsets with the New Perfect Wire Fastening and take no other. 0 GILROY & WISEM A Bottle of Perfume • • • Makes an appropriate Holiday Gift for your Lady Friends, We carry nothing but the hest FRENCH, ENGLISH A"° ^•16.4•s111•o.-w.1wo'!.ObGJ XO- a Q0• AMERICAN MAKES, OOQ•OOO �O.O.004040.0.00• And our Prices are very reasonable.

"Trusting that this may be the means of assisting to repair any injury that may have occurred, believe me to remain, very respectfully yours, (sign- ed) Robert Newman." CURRENT TOPICS. No crisis and no war. Bring on the next excitement. v The Grits expected a majority of from 000 to 800 in West Huron. Goderich was the only point in the county where the Reformers juhilated. The Goderich Signal is crowing like a barnyard fowl, The Lucknow Sentinel, Grit, says "Mr. Weismiller made a good fight." It will now be in order to rep( at the 1891 march of the Cameron 11101) through the streets of Clinton. Sympathy may now be extended to Mr. Laurier, whose embryo cabinet has taken the cold chills. Let's see. If we remember right the Brussels Post claimed a short time ago that it was not a Reform paper. Last week Bro. Kerr was pleased to wink at plugging, hribery and personation in West Huron on the part of some of Mr. Cumeton's stalwarts and said : - "it is safe to say the news (of Mr. ('am- eron's delectaon) was very agreeably receive in many towns both in and out of Huron County." Bro Kerr may have also wired his congratulations to Mr. Cameron. . Repairs Satisfactory or Your . Monty Back. : Our "Watch" Policy The plan we pursue is not ,cheap watches but watches chez."
