party candidate in the field we are
only surprised that Mr. McLean was
not beaten by a much larger majority,
for the Grits did not desert their party
as _they declared they would and go to
the third party. The proof may be
found lathe figures. Onnieron'i vote
in Ashfield was within sixty of what it
was in 1891, while MeLean's was 91
less ; in Colhorne OalnerOn lost 60,
McLean 5$; in Clinton Cameron lost 5,
McLean, 14; iu G1odericb township Cam-
eron lost 49, McLean 82; in Goderich
Cameron lost 54, McLean gained 20(Mr.
Porter's friends pot voting to 1891 on
accouct of dissatisfaction over
the new post office); •in \Vest
Wawanosh 'Cameron lost 98, McLean
51 ; in East Wawanosh 'Cameron lost
38, McLean 20. These losses have taken
Place betweea the general elections of
1891 and 1896, McLean's losses being 490,
against 332 by Cameron: When Mc-
Lean's gain in Goderich is considered
he actually lost 138 more votes than
Cameron. But to be more fair in our
comparison we will contrast the elec-
tion of 1892 With that of last week,
when there was a larger number of
'voters on the list. The votes lost by
each party since 1892 as combared with
1898, are as follows:—

'McLean's total loss over Cam 342
It will thus be seen that Conserva-
tives voted for Mrs -Kilty, while Re-
formers, except Ip odd cases, did not.
Take Conservative Godericb Township,
127 against 29; take Reform Colborne
Township, we lost 97 against 59, and so
on through the whole Riding with the
exception of Goderich Town, and then
there is only a difference of five in our
favor.
These figures certainly go to prove
how well the game was played by the
Grit party in West Huron.
Conservatives refused to listen to the
calm advice of their friends or to be
warned of the inevitable result—that
they would assist in the election of M.
C. Cameron. The lesson,, however, is
one that our friends should profit 'by.
While some Reformers voted for Mr.
Kilty—some as a blind and a -very
few on principle—the great maj-
ority of them voted for M. C. CaSneron
and the Conservatives stood aver
word. The 'vote proVes, to say the
least, the utter hypocrisy of many of
our opponents.

borne 128, Clinton 48, Goderich town-
ship 140, Goderich 36, West Wasvanosh
181, East Wawanosh 68—a total of 725.
From the above official figures it will
be observed that in 1891 there was a
total of 4019 votes polled, in 1892 4,333,
in Jan. 1896 3,832, and last week 4,082.
These last figures show about the
available vote, allowing above this a
reasonable percentage for absentees.
From 1892 up to the present time the
Reform vote has fell off 817, while the
Conservative vote has decreased 850.
From the fact that 4,082 votes were
polled in West Huren last week the re-
sult goes to show that a pretty full
home vote VMS polled. In addition to
this there were 80 rejected and spoiled
ballots, about double compared with
the Weismiller election. With a third

The Conservative party in West
Huron polled 659 less votes last week
than in 1892.
Hugh John Macdonald's nose seemed
to bother Collegiate Teacher Houston
on the night of the election.
The Hamilton Spectator says there
will be another general election within
six months.
The London News says that "Laur-
ier, Mowat end what -is -it fiscal policy"
have been endorsed by the country.
Quebec, under Grit rule, holds the
balance of power. And Laurier said
at Montreal after the election that he
would concede to the demands of his
compatriots.
It's true we're beat, and we acknow-
ledge defeat. At the sante time we
would rather suffer defeat than have
the Conservatives returned to power
by Quebec.
The Grits who cried so long and loud
against the Frenchmen of Quebec have
now taken the people of that Province
to their bosom.
Those of our friends who could not
see eye to eye with TETE NEWS RECORD
will surely now acknowledge the cor-
rectness of our position.
We know a dozen or more Mc-
Carthyites who now declare they are
not well versed in the tactics of Grit
politicians.
It is not well that the Dominion gov-
ernment and the provincial govern-
ment should be in the hands of the
same party. We'll have to take
charge at Toronto.
THE NEWS -RECORD hadn't faith in
Laurier and stood by principle rather
than Church. If our friends had had
the same faith and followed our advice
Quebec to -day would not be ruling the'
Dominion.
Roman Catholics made a cross that
counted on the 23rd, and the P. P. A's
and other Protestants protested by
making a cross that in many cases
counted for Laurier and his following.
Hurry up and take your senate seat,
Sir Oliver; we want Vfo get control of
the Ontario, government. There's
more patronage, in Ontario, in yonr
little sideshow than there is in the
Dominion Government. Your wicked
partners can't hold the fort against a
Tory attack for five minutes.

McLean's loss of votes in Godericb
township, 127 less than received by
Mr. Patterson, would have given him
exactly the saute Conservative vote as
was cast in 1892 for Patterson, 437.
Alderman McMurray was it great
and consistent McCarthyite, and on
election day—and before -it—Worked
tooth and nail for the return of M. C.
Cameron.
And now it is Laurier's turn. As a
result Ottawa is full. of Frenchmen
praying for office. In a short time
Laurier will have good reason to curse
the stay he became French.
Those Conservatives who charged
their old-time friends with standing by
the constitution as a bargain for the
Roman Catholic vote, must now see
that the charge was not well founded,
for Lauriersreceived that vote.
The Hamilton Herald, which
was "indifferent" to the fate of
the sIsT. P. a few days V ago, is
now viewing things with alarm.
The Herald says :—"There is no deny-
ing the fact that throughout Canada a
great deal of anxiety and apprehension
exists respecting the trade policy of
the new Liberal goyernment. In the
excitement of the campaign Liberal
business men were willing to accept
the assurance of the politicians that no
radical changes would bs made in the
tariff; but now that the excitement has
died oft many Liberals are as anxious
and as apprehensive as the Conserva-
tive business men, and are beginning
to feel that if as a result of a party
victory the industrial interests of the
country are going to suffer, the victory
has been obtained at too great a sacri-
ffce."

PLUDISTEEL & GIBBING8, - MUM St., Clinton.
As a' rule figures are said to be dry
reading. but the statistical returns for
West Huron during the last four
elections will .prove of interest. The
lesson to he learned is that Mr. Kilty's
support was mainly from the Conser-
vative party, while the Grits went
back on their pledges and voted for M.
C. Cameron.
That Grittiest of Grit journals, the
pious Montreal Witness, can't stand
some of Laurier's confreres. Speaking
of the defeat of odorous Jimmy Mc-
Shane the Witness says :
"There are more dangerous men sup-
porting the same party who we wish
had shared his fate."
Will Laurier lie awake with his
Saskatchewan musket in hand, guard-
ing the treasury against these danger -
Otis "friends" as poor old Mackenzie
did ?
We sincerely regret to observe from
his Montreal speech last Thursday that
Mr. Laurier adheres to his insane idea
of working the tariff down gradually,
spreading the agony over a series of
years, keeping business men and manu-
facturers constantly on the rack of un-
certainty until, in the fullness of time,
the leader, who is no business man,
will haye arrived at his ideal tariff, a
tariff which shall protect every manu-
facturer and give every consumer
goods upon which there is no custom
tax. Let us hove that Mr. Laurier will
speedily hand over the tariff to some
qualified person and instruct him to
make it right at once, so that every
business man and every manufacturer
may know exactly where he is and
make his arrangements accordingly.
Many Grits have been manly enough
to acknowledge personally to THE
NEWS-REcoRD that our course in the
recent election was the only Pro—Pen-
one to pursue. One good Grit acknow-
ledged in Clinton that he persuaded
seven Tories to vote for Mr. Kilty,
while he himself voted for Cameron.
Riel was made a martyr in Quebec
and the cry assisted greatly in increas-
ing Laurier's majority there. In West
Huron many loyal electors seemed to
forget Mr. Cameron's famous speech
laudatory of the late rebel and de-
nouncing Orangemen in bitter terms.
Time seems to have covered many
sins.
It is with much regret that we ob-
serve that our friends the Yankees are
in the throes of an election campaign,
with its charges and counter -charges,
its boodling and boom, its fizz and fire-
works, its hard work and no rest, and
all the turmoil, unrest, uncertainty
and discomfort of an election fight.
We are real sorry for our neighbors.
Sir Oliver Mowat didn't prove much
of a magician in this election. In his
message of congratulation to Mr. Lau-
rier he admits that "Contrary to all
expectation Ontario is behindhand this
time." As he failed to secure a Liberal
majority in this province, as he was
helpless to save Mills and Paterson, as
he did not even get a seat for himself,
his leader will be likely to regard hi
as the weakest partner in tha comb'
tion, "Laurier, Mowat, and Vic
