The general result of the elections cannot but be disappointing to every supporter of Liberal principles. That a government with a clean record, free from charges of corruption, and fairly strong, should meet with reverses suf- ficient to badly cripple, if not defeat it, is cause for anxiety. The Conserva- tives undoubtedly put forth stronger efforts than at any previous Provincial election, so as to gain power and pres- tige that would help them in the gen- era"i'e1eetibous; but this does not explain ebe account for all the result. The ab- eence of Mr Mowat doubtless had something to do with it, and the "it is time for a change" 'cry, evidently had considerable also. We doubt whether lbe average elector cares very much for the general policy of any govern• ment; they should do so, bat in many instances do not. We are disposed to think that in some constituencies at least, another reason accounts for Li- beral reverses. Take Hon. J. Dryderi's case. He is admittedly a good practi- cal farmer, and a flrst•class Minister of Agriculture. Why should he be de- feated in an agricultural constituency? We may be wrong in our conclusions, but our belief is that he suffered be- cause the Liberals had not lived up to their professions. The Liberals have protested against Conservatives ap- pointing their relatives to office, but have been guilty of doing considerable of this sort of thing also, and we fear ¥r Dryden suffers because of this. The Province has not lost confidence ,, in the Liberal party, but it does de- iI that it live up to its professions. Mr Hardy is not required to meet the House for nearly a year,and there is no telling what may take place in the meantime. But he has no majority to play with. All MrWhitney'sbestmen but one were defeated. Concerning the NEW ERA's share in the campaign that has ended in local disaster, we have no regrets. We did our du t y, to the best of our abili ty,open- ly and above board, tronestly using the political material at hand for all it was worth. Technically, the result is a condemnation of the Liberal Govern - fluent of Ontario. in actual fact, it means several other thins more than i means that. But there is no use cry- ing over spilled intik. It is our oppon- ents turn to crow. Better luck for ram side next time ! Had Mr. Garrow been elected he ,vould have stood a chance now of en- te -fug the Cabinet. We are sorry that West Huron chocses to be in opposition, but the verdict of the people goes. Now that the elections are over we hope our correspondents will again take charge of our front page. The death of Chas. Girvin, sr., of West WaWanosh,on Tuesday, removes another of the old landmarks, and a zpan who was respected and esteemed by all. While it is quite natural that the Conservatives should rejoice over their victories in Huron, there are many Conservatives whof regret the defeat of Mr Garrow. Any Liberal in Welt Futon who re- mained at hdme on Tuesday, when Le ehoulcl hake gone out to vote, can con. prole himself With the reflection that hie r cit iirettlaUr -changed. the tetiult. Ministers Dryden and Gibson Defeated—Several of Whitney's best men among the lost. South and West Huron go Conservative. Liberals 48. Independent 1. Russel not held yet Couservatives 43. Patron 1. Total members 94. The result of the local elections on, Tuesday is a matter of uncertainty as to the actual figures, but there is no uncertainty as to the fact that the Liberale secured the election of a smaller number of candidates than was expected. The government de- served the generous support of the el- ectors, who have thought otherwise, and the result is that one of the hest ad- ministrations that ever existed, is on the ragged edge of defeat, and even yet cowry have to resign. In the election of 1894 50 Liberals were elected. The number has been re- duced to 49. In 1804 only 27 Conservatives were elected; this year 44 will constitute the Opposition. Four years ago 17 Independents were elected. Tuesday but one bidet and one Patron were elected. It will he seen from this that the Con- servative party was strengthened at the expense of the Independents rather than at the expense of the Liberals. The Liberals Tuesday lost 15 seats and gained 12. Two Ministers are arming t he slain, Lieut.-Col.`Gibson, late Commissioner of Crown Lands, and Hon: John Dryden,late Minister of Ag- riculture. The Patrons fared hadly,MrHeycock, Lhe leader, falling in Frontenac, and Mr Currie, the Secretary of the organ. zation,meet ing defeat in West Si rocoe. Conservatives were the opponents of each of these gentlemen. The only member of the order elected was Mr Tucker in West Wellington, The Hurons. That the result in two of the Hurons is a grievous disappointment to the Li hsr ale, goes without sayi ng, and that it was just as surprising to the Conser•- yatives as the Liberals, is also admits ted. In the East riding the election of Mr Hislop, the Liberal, • was i egarded as so certain that at one time Mr Moon- ey was almost on the point of throw- i;rg up the sponge. The Liberals did teddy in that riding, giving a ma- jority of 550. We wish we could say the sarne of the other ridings. I+'rein the very outset' the nomina- tion of Mr Eilber, in the South, put a very strong man in the field, and the Liberals were required to put up an unusually aggressive fight, hut the odds were against them. There were ele- ments in Mr Eilber's favor that were insurmountable, and although the Li- berals had an excellent candidate in the person of Mr McLean, and portions of the riding stood nobly by hiui, his majorities were not sufficient to over- come those obtained by his opponent. At this rnotbent it is impossible to get the definite returns, but some of the majorities are given. Seaforth gave Mr McLean 180 of a majority, Tucker - smith gave him about 400; Exeter gave Eilber over 100, Stephen oyer 400. and Usborne, we believe, a Large majority also. These figures may vary, but give some idea of the vote. The result in West Huron was the most surprising of all, and if the tenth could be known, we incline to the opin- ion that it was due in a large measure to the careless indifference of Liberals in some parts of the riding, contrasted with the persistent personal efforts of our opponents. We do not believe that the Conservatives expected to do more in this riding than keep Mr Gar - row from getting what they feared would be a large majority, and the re- sult was as surprising to them as it was disappointing to the Liberals. The organization of the Conservatives was evidently better than that of the Liberals, for they certainly got out t heir vote better, at least in the rural parts of the riding. Reports come frorn various parts of the constituep'cy, that many Liberal votes were unpoll- ed, while sectionethat had been looked upon as sure to give Mr Garrow major- ities. did not do so. In Clinton the vote wasalittle disappointment to the Liber- als, whohad anticipated a largermajor- ity than 9 for Mr Garrow. The full vote was practically polled in town. Had Mr Garrow got even the votes of his own friends, as he was well entitled to, the result would have been different. The Liberals had to face an adverse majority on the lists here of about 60, and to turn this to a majority of 9 was no small undertaking. The total vote in West Huron is not yet known, brit the following are giv- en as the majorities in the respective places: BECIK GARROW Goderich town 17 Goderich township 125 Clinton W i ngham 12 Blyth Colborne 36 Hallett East Wawa nosh West Wawanosh 3 Ashfield • 9 16 44 61 01 193 191 IN TOWN The Liberals and Conservatives had agreed to receive tha returns tinitedly at the Town Hall, and they were an- nounced and bulletined as fast as re- ceived. Liberal reverses sent up the spirits of the other side, while Conser- vative defeats helped to keep a little' heart in the Liberals. The meeting was'good•humored, and each side grim- ly "took ite medicine" art occaeion re - quired. When it was announced that broth South and West Huron had gone Conservative, our opponents took all the pleasure out of the occasion that they were entitled to, and the Liberals declined to join in expressions of felici- ty. A bonfire was started en the mar- ket square, a torchlight procession was formed and paraded the streets, and for a while there a livelytime.— e On Wednesday evening Mr Bck came here when a procession was organized, and he was driven around town in a four in -hand, headed by the band; a stop was made at the market, where effusive speeches were made by Mr Beck, John Beacom, and Dr. Bruce, all of whom were generously applauded. One enthusiast proposed three cheers for Hardy, when another gruffly said "Three cheers for hell;" quick as a flash came the answer, "All right, each one for his owe country." It was kind to serenade the Mayor at his house, but at the time he was engaged in his office. A few of our prominent political friends made demands on J. Ransford for the loan of his celebrated Dominion Cam; aign window rooster. Mr Rans- ford bus the ,joke on bis side today. It was his party wanted 1 he Rooster for crowing purposes, and they used it.

Dr. Dewart [rade one of the pluck- iest fights of the campaign, and deserv- ed success. In fact be may get the :eat yet, as Mr Matter's majority is only 20. Mr Rogers put up a big fight in South Toronto. He ran up against a majority of considerably over2000, polled for Mr Howland at last; general election, and reduced it to 386. The election in London was a great victory for Col. Leys, personally, and a strong indorsation of a Government which has done exceedingly good work for this Province. . • '--..- Mr Pirie, the versatile Dundas Ban- ner man, was defeated in Nor th Went- worth. He deserved a better fate. We know of no rnan, however, who will take his defeat more good-naturedly. Two of the best men of the Legisla- ture were defeated in. Mr M. Y. Mc- Lean and Mr Garrow. The majority of two against Mr Garrow may, how- ever, disappear under a scrutiny of the ballots.—Hamilton Times. The Liberal Government bas been se- verely censured for the numbered ballot, but had it not been fes the numbered bal- lot it is more than pRobable that several Grits in close constidi"tuenoies would have "been elected between the close of the polls Tuesday evening and the dawn of the next bright March morning. --Toronto Telegram. The Conservative majorities in Tor- onto in 1894 totalled 6,059. Tuesday they totalled 2,719, and only in one rid- ing, East Totonto, did it reach the pro- portions of four years ago. In North and South Toronto the majorities prac- tically disappeared, and in West Tor- onto was cut down by half. Three Liberal newspaper men were de- feated—M. Y. McLean, of Seaforth, Sandford Evans, of North Wentworth, and A. F. Pirie, of Dundas. Five Lib- eral pressmen were elected—Stretton, of Peterboro; Auld, of West Essex; Craig, East Wellington, Pettypiece, East Lambton, and G. P. Grabam, Brockville. It is rather noteworthy that as a re- sult of this contest, third parties have almost entirely disappeared. In Eng- lish speaking communities these are never other than temporary, the elec- torate generally finding it a not diffi- cult task to secure safe and progressive government by the agency of two great political parties, based on the British model. The Globe says: "After an engage- ment there are always losses to be mourned. Among those on the Liber- alside, besides the two Ministers, are r M. Y. McLean in South Huron and Mr Garrow in West Huron. Both con- stituencies aid close, but it was thought that the excellent capacity shown by Mr McLean as a member of the House world have ensured his election. In West Huron also it is to be regretted that Mr Garrow failed to secure a re- election. He has taken a particularly prominent place in theLe islature,was a most conscientious .student of the questions that came before it, and on that account little fear was entertain - about the seat." LEADERS DEFEATED. Both' parties lost able front bench men. Two painstaking Ministers were defeated="Hon. John Dryden in South Dryden, and Hon. J. M. Gibson in Hamilton. Local causes had much to do with their defeat. They deserved better at the hands of -the electorate. The Opposition leaders fared even worse. 'Five of Mr Whitney's best known lteutenante are among the slain; Dr. Willoughby, in East Northumber- land, Col. Kerne in Balton, Mr Meach- am in Lennox, Me Magwood in North Perth, and lttstt but by` no means least, the gentleman of piggery fame—Mr St. John, West York, Following is the list of candidates elected for the various Ontario oonstituenoies the elections for the Provincial Legislature on Tuesday, subject to cbreeotidn:-- THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS.

Later returns make some slight changes in the listof results as publish- ed, the net result of which is to the ad- vantage of the Liberals, with a chance of further advantages to come. South Renfrew, which was placed erroneous- I ly in the Conservative column, was I carried by Mr R. A. Campbell by a ma- ' jority of several hundred. Niprseing, too, which was conceded to the Conser- vatives, bas remained true to the Libe- ral party. On the other hand, a loss is to be counted in one of the Ottawas, Mr O'Keefe, the late Liberal member, having been found, on a revision of the figures, ten votes behind Mr Powell. This leaves the Government in posses- sion of 48 straight supporters, with an election yet to be held in a strong Lib- eral constituency, and an Independent supporter in the person of Mr Beatty, who defeated the Conservative candi- date in Parry Sound. This makes a total of 50 Government supporters,and leaves the Conservatives with 43 seats, and the Patrons with one. In this count all the doubtful seats are placed in the Conservative column. They are West and South Huron and Nottn To- ronto. In South Huron both parties claim success, and in North Toronto the result is so close and there were so many "tendered" ballots that Mr Mar - ter cannot be sure of his seat until the ballots have been subjected to a scrut- iny. Indeed, at one time Wednesday there wasa widespread impression that Dr. Dewart had been elected, an error having bean discovered in the returns, the correction of which gave him a clear majority, but later on, to the re- gret of Dr. Dewart's hosts of friends,•it was found that the error consisted only of the transportation of returns in a couple of subdivisions which had not affected the total. East and Weet Al- goma and Muskoka;which are all more or lees uncertain on the night of the el- ection owing to the nature of the con- stituencies, leave all declared for the Government, Mr Conmee has secured a magnificent majority in West Al- oma,while Mr Farwell and Dr Bridge - land are safely seated according to the latest reports.

SAD DEATH. -On Monday evening a sad gloom was cast over the neighbor- hood on hearing that Wm. Dickson had passed away to the great beyond after a few days illness. Will has been troubled several times from in- flammation of the bowels or appendicit- is,and as it was becoming more serious, being affected so often, the doctors thought an operation necessary, from which he never fully recovered and only survived it a few clays. Deceased was only 'about thirty years of age, and was a steady industrious person and highly respected by every one. By his death we all feel we have lost a good friend. Mr Dickson and fami- ly have our heartfelt sympathy in their very sad bereavement. His remains were interred in Pine River cemetry on Wednesday. Alex. Mackinnon Bnrgees,Commiesioner of Dominion Janda, died early Saturday morning from apoplexy. He was uncon- soione from the time the attack came en him the day previous. Mr Bnrgese was 48 years old.
