The Grandest Conservative Victory in the His- tory of the County. Huron did nobly Tuesday and for probably the firat time in the his- tory of the good old county two Con- servatives were elected as its repre- sentatives to the Legislature of the province. It was grand victory and won against great odds. Garrow's defeat was an overwhelm- ing surprise to many people. His fa'iends are yet at a loss to corn prehend it. They are even loath to believe it and threaten recount and all that sort oi' thing. But come what will in that line Major Beck is to -day the M.P.Y. for West Huron, and what was accom- plished Tuesday can be repeated. In the South Riding all the ways and means known to politicians were resort- ed, but notwithstanding it all Henry Eilher was elected by the handsome majority of 147. His old township of Stephen rolled up 375 and may be con- sidered the banner municipality of Huron. In Stanley M. Y: McLean had the small majority of eighteen (MAIL AND EMPIREIESTIMATE.)Z„ _Conservatives Liberals Russell to he held Still doubtful (Muskoka and East Algoma) 46 45 1 ;Tho standing of :the parties last House was as follows :— Liberals Conservatives Patrons Independents .. •' ....... 3 2 which was won by the temperance cry worked against Eilher. His oppon- ents industriously circulated the yarn that he was given to over -indulgence in mild lager and on these grounds many ballots were cast against hire. Rather small politics, to be sure, but the fellows were: desperate. In Hay- field the Harbor grant was the lever used as a means of coercion though what it has to do with Provincial poli- tics it would be hard to say. The Liberal candidate also bestrode the Catholic th ohc tor• se hut too awkwardly to benefit him Yon .much. That game has been played until it is no longer pro• Citable. East Huron Has been a Grit Hive too long to expect that Mooney could redeem it but he made a •good run and had the campaign been longer would have placed it among the doubtful constit- uencies. As it is he reduced the old- time majorities. The correct figures are not yet to hand. WEST IIIIRON. BECK.

"Joe" Beck is good enough for West Huron. Beck beat the machine and the "barrel." Money couldn't buy West Huron Tuesday. The lawyers' mortgage has been dis- charged. London lost its Beck, but not so West Huron. Colborne made a Tory minority a Tory majority. Clinton turned the tide Tuesday. Clinton can do it. It was a Waterloo for Whitney, but not like Napoleon's. Who said the canvasser was not equal to the speaker. ' "Well done Clinton," telegraphed Major Beck yesterday. 17 for Beck in the Circular Town was a stunner for the Grits. TORONTO WORLD ESTIMATE.

Who. says a plain, every -day man can't carry West Huron? Clinton doesn't believe Garrow to be a better friend than Beck. Little England is not unfriendly to Beck, not by any mean's. Beck's majority is not big, but vast- ly better than 76 the•other way. The Wawanoshes disappointed the Garrowites. "Joe" is popular among the toilers. M. C. Cameron, M. P., spoke and worked for Garrow but the vote drop- ped in the old strongholds. Harvey Davis had his four-in-hand at the bead of the procession yesterday. He handles the ribbons with the skill of a veteran. Doc Bruce brimmed over with satis- faction yesterday. As President of the Town Association a good deal of the work devolved upon him and he did it well. Good old Goderich Township did its duty Tuesday. They may gerr'yman- d'er it but they can't put a damper on the enthusiasm of the stalwarts. The Garrowitgs flooded the Catholic settlements with flysheets denouncing Beck as an Orangeman and Free Mason. One would have thought that the time for that sort of thing had long since passed, but it would seem not. The dogers do not appear to have done much good Tuesday. Per- haps they acted as boomerangs. When the returns gave Beck the seat by the narrow margin of one the Tories had a procession and a bonfire. Next morning Garrow claimed the victory by a majority of ten and the Grits thought they had a huge joke on their opponents and began to make preparations for a big punter demon- stration. A message from the Major himself at 1.30 p. rn. set the matter at rest. SOUTII 11URON. EILBER. MCLEAN.

(tains. Lib. Gains. Major Beck came [down to Clinton by the 4.30 train yesterday afternoon and was met at the depot by an immense crowd and a pro- cession formed which paraded the streets which were lined with people. Much enthusiasm was manifested all along the route and at the market the Major gave a short address thanking his numerous friends for the generous support they bad given him. He was cheered to the echo, and afterwards spent a few of hours shaking hands and hobnobbing with his constituents, Grit and Tory alike. It the evening there was a torchlight procession headed by the brass band which after parading the principal assembled on the square where short speeches were made by Major ,Beck, M.P.P., Dr. Bruce and Me. John Beacom. A large number of country people .drove in to enjoy the fun. Mn4or Beck left for home by the late train a tired but contented and happy ' man. • ....

Perth, N., York, W.-11 T. Whitney Has Won 28 Seats From The Liberals. Ontario withdrew its confidence from the Hardy Government Tuesday in an unmistakeable manner and the Government which has been riling rough• shod over this province for twenty-six years has been given notice to quit.. Mr. Whitney had an uphill tight but he fought it well. Against him were arrayed the allied forces of two Governments inscrupulous as to the means employed to retain their hold upon the emoluments of office. Giving the Government every seat they lay claim to they have 47 or only half the membership of the House, so that it will be impossible to even elect a Speaker. Still later returns may alter this and give the Conservatives a major- ity. As it is the Government is virtually defeated and cannot carry on the business of the country. There is little probability though that Hardy will re- sign. He will rather trust to what may turn up between now and when the House meet, which will not he any sooner than it Hurst. The Patrons are very much out of it this time, only one of them having been elected. Even Mr. Haycock is among the slain. This will cause no grief among the old parties and very little regret in Patron circles. The independ- ent movement under the name of Patronism is not now a feature of Ontario politics, The loss of two Ministers, Gibson in Hamilton and Dryden in Soutla Ontar- io, both defeated by good majorities, is a hard blow to the Government. They were the most inveterate nepotists in the whole Cabinet and their defeat may serve as a warning. The defeat, of St. John in West York is a matter of regret. He did good work in bringing the Humber scandal to light. He will yet be a member of the Legislature. Eastern Ontario went pretty solid for Whitney. Where hest known there are his strongholds. What better tribute can be cited to the sterling worth and popularity of a statesmen. The result on Tuesday is more than a moral victory forWhitney. It itt a actual defeat for the Government and the hosts of officialdom, It will serve as a warning to the 'Lutes and Blairs who are playing fast and loose with the Do- minion's lands and cash at Ottawa. So far as the Conservatives were concerned it was a fair and square fight. 'Would that. the Liberals could say the same. In many constituencies every ef- fort was made to ring in the old -cries which had done service in Meredith's campaigns. They did their best to arouse sectarian strife but not so successfully as in past fights. Riding.
