SIR CHARLES T(PI'ER ELEC7'ED BY 801 MAJORI7'Y On Tuesday Sir Charts Tupper, Baronet, was elected in Cape Breton by 801 majority. As previously announced the lists were from six to eight hundred better for the grits ;han last election, which yirtnally planes the majority now about twelve or fourteen hundred Net- ter than last time. THE NEWS -RECORD congratulates Sir Charles on his election and wel- comes him again to Canadian politics. His enemies fear him and his friends have confidence in him. That he possesses the master mind and grasp of a statesman is beyond question. It is pleasing to note that Sir Charles made his greatest gains in the Scotch Presbyterian districts. From all quarters grit money and agents flocked to the riding ; the pro- vincial governments of Nova Scotia, Prince' Edward Island, New Bruns- wick and Ontario rendered the reform candidate substantial assistance, while .slander, vilification and free fighting were recklessly indttlged in by the op- , ponents of Sir Charles. But the staliati,tis Scotch, Protestan t sand Rofmarl Cath'olitfalike, stood loyal- Iy for the National Policy. Sir Charles took very moderate frotltld on the .school question and ound himself supported by Presbyter- ian, Methodist, Anglican and Roman Catholic elergymenl.alike. The old Conservative Party never was stronger than to -days ; the leaders are now pulling_together, and glorious victory for the National Policy awaits the, people of Canada WW2' Hi7R(,k.Y TFfEJ GRITS AND P. f%a 4'8 ,A+' » .)WOBI,GRT ,NOWALAN. The recent election in, West Huron has had the result of demonstrating that third party candidates, at least in such a constituency as this, cannot re- sult in the future good of the country, and especially when the candidate per- mits his actions to discredit the rause he advocates. We admit that third parties at times accomplish good, but such a result must necessarily be brought abort within the old parties. After the nomination of the Reform and Conservative candidates in this Ridiug the P. P. A's placed Robert Newman in the field. lie was chosen, it is said, through the advice of Mr. Madill of Saruia. Mr. N. Ciarke Wal- lace had an agent, one Edward Floody, in this Riding who endeayured to man- ipulate one of the nominees to pledge himself against the Government. Mr. Wallace's representative made any- thing but a favorable impression for Mr. Newman, in fact as a result of his visit the P. P. A's would not accept Mr. Newman unless he brought along a character ou paper. He came and be ought several testimonials, among them one from Mr. Wallace. Once in the field Mr. Newman, it would appear, pulled the strings in favor of Mr. Cameron. This he denies, but we are prepared to prove it over his own signature. He acknowledges in his latest epistle t'1 the Signal that he was closeted with .John McMillan and at least loaded hint up with Orange resolutions; that he furnished the powder to assist M. C. Cameron. In a letter to the Orange Sentinel (Jan. 23) Mr. Newman also acknowledges that his interests were )ilr. Cameron's. With bold effrontery he admits that he retired in his favor and says :—"I conferred with some of Canada's foremost Protestants on this question, and all alike agreed with me that it was the only course to pursue." Just, fancy 1 Outside Protestants, we care not who, handing over the elector- ate of West Huron to M, C. Cameron 1 A man who has in past years branded ALL Orangemen as disloyal and blood- thirsty, Protestants who gloated over the tragic fate of murderer Louis Reil, and that they (the Orangemen) com- pelled the Government to hang a re- bel and murderer without producing sufficient evidence to hang a dog 1 Who are these foremost outside Pro- testants who have been meddling in West Huron ? Here we find at least the Orange Grand Master of British Ameri- ca. Did he advise Newman to retire in favor of M. C. Cameron ? A man who has in Parliament delivered treason- able utterances against a loyal body of men whose votes Mr. Newman was as- sisting hitn to capture ? Surely not. In the past we have had high respect for 'and great confidence in Mr. Wal- lace, but if he is guilty of such utter demagogisrn in West Huron THE NEWS -RECORD must draw the line, and the sooner all freeborn subjects under- stand this matter the better. Mr. Newman, our readers will bear in mind, declares that he retired in favor of Mr. Cameron. At the official nonnnation he was not legally'nomin- ated. How then can he truthfully de- clare he retired ? Forthwith the Con- servative party are charged with side- tracking him. He charges that A. M. Todd and others telegraphed N. Clarke Wallace "For God sake take this man Newman out of the field 1" This we denied as far as Mr. Todd was con- cerned. Then Cameron's and New - man's mouthpiece, the repel Goderich Signal, edited by Daniel McGillicuddy, who has been Antd is now credited with being an annexationist, therefore a rebel to the Domin- ion and an enemy to every Orangeman in this fair Canada, said A. M. Todd telegraphed to N. Clarke Wallace's agent or agents at Toronto. This we denied and still deny. Whether the name of Todd was to it telegram or not is not the question at issue, The charges made by Newman and his Grit allies, vide the rebel Signal, are not trlie. "That Conspiracy," which Mr. New - Irian so strongly objects to appearing in THE NEWS-REcoRD, is hased on Newman's written statement. What does he say in his apology to Barrister M. 0. Johnston :-- "THAT THE AF- FAiR," the side-tracking which he Iyingly charged the Conservative party with, NOW WOULD SEEM TO 13E A CONSPIRACY," and that "1", New- man. "RECEIVED MY INFORMA- TION FROM PERSONS WHO WERE DESIROUS THAT 1 SHOULD CON- TEST iN THEIR INTERESTS WEST HURON." Here we have the spectacle of it wandering stranger imposing on the honesty of West Huron electors. First he declares the wicked Conser va- tives deliberately sidetracked him i Then he solemnly avows in the Orange Sentinel he retired in favor of M. C. Cameron and that this woe the only course to pursue.1 And to cap the climax of un - wanton deception he makes the sweep- ing—and wehelieveunwarran ted charge - thnt the P. P. A's entered into a con- spiracy to defeat him. He acknow- ledges in the rebel grit sheet of Goder- ich that his letter to Barrister John- ston is genuine. He acknowledges in a letter to THE Ni:ws-Ri toRr that it is genuine, but seeks to crawl away from the main issue by referring to James L. Hughes, the Grand Orange Lodge resolutions passed at Halifax, and a thousand and one other matters which have no more to do with the discussion than a monkey has with a balloon. in writing through the Guderich Signal to THE News-Rianoan Robert Newman says:—"Yon say it was ac- knowledged on SEVERAL platforms that I loaded up Grit stompers with the avowed purpose of assisting M. C. Cameron to win. That, sir, is as false as it was cowardly of those who oracle such statements from the public plat- form, and which action k only charac- teristic of the time -serving party slave." No person of an unbiased mind could. make such a charge as Mr. Newman is guilty of making. He knows just as well as THE NEWS -RECORD knows that he did Inad up Grit stumpers in favor of M. C. Cameron. He knows that Grit stompers were forced to swallow the hitter medicine at Benmrller and Lucknow. And Mr. Newman knows (if he is sane) that many P. P. A's as he says in the Orange Sentinel over his own signature, objected to him resign- ing in favor of or assisting M. 0. Cam- eron. But that did not deter him from attempting to sacrifice the electors of West Huron, who should know more about the situation than a stranger. txQli'I(7fa i4' d(';4b r MPLa t'dfla$410i. Mr. McMillan moved in the House last week. "That whereas the United Stutee Government effete to admit free Of duty, ploughs, tooth and clink. liar rows, harvesters, reapers, agricultural drills and planters, mowers, horse rakes, culivators, threshing machines and cotton gins, from any country which admits free of duty like articles imported from the United States, it would be greatly in the interest of both the Canadian agriculturists and the Canadian manulacturers that Canada should accept that offer by admitting those articles into Canada free of duty and at the sarne time so relieving the Canadian manufacturers of the taxa- tion on their raw material as to enable them to take advantage of the markets of the United States." Mr. N. Clarke Wallace urged the re- jection of the resolution, because its principle would, if carried out, result in no ultimate benefit to the fawner and would close the smaller Canadian factories. On the other hand not a single Canadian made binder could be sold in the United States, the Ameri- can makers being protected by patents and by injunctions would prevent the sale in the States of Canadian ma- chines. It had been urged that the protection upon implements in the Do- minion was offset by the duty on the raw materials. This :vas not the case. The wholesale price for duty of a self - hinder in the United States was $100, 20 per cent. on this gavea protection of $20. The duty on raw material for our binder, even supposing they were all imported, was about $7, giving the Canadian manufacturer a clear protec- tion of $13. An excellent, binder could he bought in Canada for $100, which was less than the retail price to the farmer in the United States. If the duty were removed the Canadian farm- er would have to pay higher prices than ever. After considerable discussion the mo- tion was declared lost without the Op- position even having pluck enough to call for a division. The Poor Horse : The above is the exact Protestant horse Daniel McGillicuddy pictured in the Signal only a few years ago. At that time he was working for the Mowat Government and against W. R. Meredith and the Conservative party in On- tario. To -day he is working for a French Roman Catholic loader and traitor Greenway, and hopes to succeed in riding over the electors, to the glory of the Grit party, by such an in- strument as Robert Newman. It will now be in order for the rebellious annexationist to again produce another horse of another form. THE PRICE OF WHEAT—FACTS VS. ASSERTION. Last week THE NEWS -RECORD called attention to a most glaring and wilful error in an editorial paragraph publish- ed in our esteemed town contemporary relative to the price of wheat. The paragraph, which we reproduced in full, was so misleading 'that we felt compelled to notice it, and in so doing we requested our contemporary to answer a direct question. To this a deaf ear has been turned. So it ever is —to twist and distort, to mislead, to mystify, to garble, to glaringly mis- state fat is—these are the weapons of the dishonest Grit politician and news- paper writer; and when cornered, when asked a plain, simple question, that he who runs may read, to be silent. Once more THE NEws-REt'ORD asks the question. If protection "does not add one cent to the price for wheat paid here," how is it wheat is consider- ably higher to -day in Montreal than in New York, in Toronto than in Chicago, and all other grains in like rnvnner? These would -he destroyers of our in- dustries cannot, even they cannot, say or hint but that protection helps the manufacturer and consequently the mechanic, and naturally all from whorl the mechanic and manufacturer pur- chase supplies. But the Reformers have long held on to the dear belief that the farmer, the noble tiller of the soil, the stalwart yeomanry and all other high sounding phrases they are so fond of using about election times, was not benefltted by protection. For seventeen years the proof has heen so self-evident that electors have not trusted there, and soon again the Re- formers will he led by Sir Richard Cartwright to successful failure. The fact, remains, protection benefits the farmer, and our contemporary's silence on the important question of the price of wl(eaat is the wisest course he can pursue. Verily, silence is golden ! CURRENT TOPICS. Orangeisrn is riot P. P. Aism and the sooner Robert Newman understands this the better. THE NEWS -RECORD is not opposed to the Constitution, but we are oppos- ed 1 us- ed to M. (1 Cameron and Robert New- man. Robert Newman is not paying for the advertising he is receiving in THE NEWS -RECORD. Who favored M. O. Cameron ? Roht. Newman, the P. P. A. candidnte, and we have the proof over his own signa- ture. The lie has heen uttered by Daniel McGillicuddy and his assistants, not- ably Robert Newman of Toronto and local preacher Kerr of Brussels. The special reporter of the Taranto Telegram, whose statements Robert Newman tries to evade, interviewed the editor of THE NEWS -RECORD and made the statement we gave to the public. If the old truism holda good that a man must be fudged by the company he keeps what will the loyal electors of West Huron say of Robert Newman? Robert dtiewman declared that A. M. Todd telegraped N. Clarke Wallace "For God sake take this t41an Newman out of the Held l" Newman was guilty of hearing false witness. Weak, Tired, Nervous Women, who seem to be all worn out, will find in purified blood, made rich and healthy by Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, per'lnanent relief and strength. The following is from a well known nurse: " I have suffered for years with female Complaints and kidney troubles and I have had a great deal of medical advice during that time, but have received littl, or no benefit. A. friend advised me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and I began to use it, together with Hood's Pills. I have real- ised more benefit from these medicines than from anything else I have ever taken. From my personal experience I believe Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a most complete blood purifier." MRs. C.

THE NEWS -RECORD has said that Newnian did not tender any money to the Returning Officer and we have every reason to believe our statement to be absolutely correct. THE NEWS -RECORD is open to all corners to discuss fair and unfair, hon- est and dishonest charges that may come within the reach of unprincipled join nalists and politicians. The proper blood will always see the proper roan on top at the finish. At the annual county meeting of the Peel Orangemen Last Tuesday they re- fused at the present juncture to en- dorse Mr. N. Clarke Wallace, declaring that they were satisfied with the course of the Government up to the present time, and have wisely conclud- er not to take any hasty action. It is not quite certain which animal Daniel McGillicuddy will persist in riding at Goderich on the 12th of July, 1896, where a big Orange celebration will take place. If he rides the Protestant nag he pic- tured in the Signal a few years ago Daniel will certainly be laid up for re- pairs. The attempt of McGillicuddy and. Newman to belie the editor of THE NEWS-REcoRD has proven a miserable failure. Now, gentlemen, produce the telegram where we said "For God sake take this man Newman out of the field." We shall inform the public of the result. The Brussels Post says the reason several Conservatives wanted New- man out of the fleld was to save Weis - miller's political head. And the con- spiracy to have Newman remain in the Held or retire in favor of M. C. Cain- eron--as Newman ack nowledes-- was to save the political head of M. C. Cameron, Certainly. Robert Newman, the wohhler, refers THE NEWS -RECORD to Bar- rister M. 0. Joli 'ton for a certificate of character of the Toronto Telegram reporter. The reference is not at all necessary. The reporter interviewed the editor of this paper and he gays us sufficient reasons for the faith that was in him. Robert Newman has proven himself to be even more than THE NEws-ItE- CORD hos said. And he may as well have the benefit. He is a Sunday politi- cian and wrote his apology for misrep- resentation on Sunday, January 12th. He may now qualify such desecration of the Lord's I)ay by declaring "the more holy the day the Netter the deed." But it does not say much for his mode of following the Golden Rule. The Goderich Signal, whose editor has long since proven himself in, he of the red rag hull specie, does not yet know of the numerous Todds and Cantelons and Freehorns in this great country. In fact he doesn't even real- ize that we have a great country and will refuse to learn until some apostle of Postlethwaite again gives him a public thrashing and pound the infor- mation into him. To use an expression of a local grit sheet, he should be reach- ed for with a club. Newman declares that he tendered the money ($200) to Returning Officer Beck, hut, conveniently neglects to state why the money was refused, if it really was. It will now be in order for Mr. Newman to produce his evidence on this point and clear the /matter up to the satisfaction of the general public. Then the electors will he in- formed of all that has escaped his deficient memory. Fancy politicians like Cameron, Mc- Gillicuddy and Newman following the Golden Rule ? The trio should give the pnhlie an exposition at this important time ou Mr. Cameron's visit to Rome a few years ago when he was alleged to have purchasedolden embles for "his old m Roman Catholic friends of Ashfleld" and of the pre- sentation on his return. And Mr. Newman, the devout P. P.A. politician, retired in his favor, and he has Bald sn, "Wanted, a saddle horse. Mtast he in better order than the Protestant nag produced in the Signal it few years ago and not to cost, more than the ruling ruin Grit price. Apply to Daniel McGillietiddy, annexationist, Goderich." We might add that Mr. McGillicuddy has changed his front to a right -about and would not now like to accept the same skinny Protestant animal he produced in the Signal a few short years ago, a picture of which may be seen In an- other column.

Daniel McGillicuddyy's Protestant Horse 1 This sante horse prevented Daniel from delivering one of his lying grit political speeches at the Nile a few years ago. If the Globe is warranted in saying that Sir Charles Tupper is "the rep- resentative of Bishop Cameron" be- cause Bish�o{pn Cameron supported him, then THE NEWS -RECORD is warranted in asserting that Sir Oliver Mowat and his government represent Archbishop Cleary. The Goderich Signal calls bad names. It copies from the bad Globe and dubs the editor of this respectable family journal a "hell inspired hypocrite 1" We do not wish to use this sort of language to the well-known black- guard who conducts the Sigurd. But if Daniel McGillicuddy is inspired our readers will agree that he has communi- cation with a wanner climate than this country produces. THE NEWS -RECORD has ever been prepared to fight the devil and in this case is prepared to meet his satanic majesty of Goderich. So Newman acknowledges that he invited John McMillan, a grit stumper, to his private room. He says so in the Goderich Signal, and says further he never met or knew the said Grit sturn- per before. And Newman says he loaded up McMillian with Orange re- solutions to down J. L. Hughes' letter. McMillan was working supposedly for Cameron. Then why did he load up a political opponent to defeat himself? Such hypocrisy. Newnian must pro - three evidence that does not hear the finger narks of a wobbler and he more free from the semblance of a fish story. The editor of the Brussels Post, who by the way mounts the pulpit and preaches religion on Sundays, and on week days writes untruthful squibs for his paper about political opponents, last week found space to bear false witness against the editor of this journal. THE NEWS -RECORD denied that Mr. Todd telegraphed N. Clarke Wallace "For God sake take this roan Newman out of the field." Then the Signal charged that we telegraphed N. Clarke Wallace's agent these words. This we also denied. We al e absolutely correct and challengs the unhappy Newman -McGillicuddy -Kerr trio to prove to the contrary. Produce the proof. The Goderich liar, whose name is Daniel McGillicuddy, says the letter in last week's NEWS -RECORD from Kings- bridge was not from .that place, but from Goderich. This is a case where the Signal is not in a position to know, but Daniel McGillicuddy, fenianlike, asserts as a fact what he does not know. We are in a position to know that the letter was written and posted at Kings- bridge, in Ashfleld township, and any- thing the notorious wohhler of Goder- ich may say will not alter the fact. This is a rare opportunity for the Sig- nal to prove its assertion. Since writ- ing the above a letter has heen received from the author, who declares that. he is not, ashamed of his name and that the letter is genuine. Daniel, the sec- ond Annanias of Huron, will be com- pelled to call in even a more worthy supporter than Robert Newman. Repairs Satisfactory or Your : Money Back.: . Our "Watch" Policy The plan we pursue is "not cheap watches but watches cher ri." We make a specialty of reliable watches —those that are a delight to the wearer and a cred- it to us. W. G. DOHERTY, Coopers' Block. The Goderich Signal talks about "honor among thieves" in politics. Probably the annexationist editor has forgotten the false and malicious charge he made about the stealing of an Orange flag pole Ly mewhers of Snm- merhi 1 Orange Lodge, when Daniel McGillicuddy was compelled by the rhinions of the law of the land to crawl under the barn and eat plain crow. And this is the creature Hobert New- man, the self-sacrificing Protestant politician, is in league with. Is it'not about time Protestants would ascer- tain where they are at ? Daniel McGillicuddy's Protestant Horse is just the same to -day as when it appeared in the rebel Signal a few short years since. At that time the Ontario elections were on and Daniel had the crows sweeping eagle -like on Protestantism and picking the poor old hones of the honored dead. To -day there is a change of front on the part of the vampire. He seeks to sustain shoot -the -volunteers French Romain Catholic Laurier by securing the sup- port of the Protestants of West Huron„t' through Orangemen and P. I'. A's. • Robert Newman has mounted Daniel McGillicuddy's horse (though the ani- mal is not so poor and degraded as the Signal pictured him) and the result will he just as it should he -the horse will intelligently kick the other way.
