TauRBDAY, MAY 5th, 1898.
ONB THING AND ANOTHER.
A despatch from Goderich, which
appeared in the daily papers of Friday,
would perhaps indicate that an elec-
tion for the Commons will be held in
West Huron during the mouth of
May. If so the old voters' lists will
have to be used and the electorate dis-
franohtsed by the wholesale, It was
bad enough at the last fight but what is
propAsrd will be much worse.
The despatch in quespion was evident-
ly Sent out to boom one of the aspirants,
who has been seeking considerable out-
side "puffing," and who is almost cer-
tain unless this paragraph first catches
his eye to reproduce the despatch as an
idex of public opinion. However,
whether this individual gets it, or
whether it goes to some other aspirant
who has not a member or two of his
family feeding at the public crib, it
matters not to the Conservatives, who
ate in good• fighting trim and with a
half decent list should experience no
difficulty in winning.
The people of West Huron, regard-
less of their politics, will be mush
pleased to be assured that the Laurier
promissory note which M, C. Cameron
has been carrying in his pocket, all this
session, is about to be cashed, For
years the Liberals bewailod the dishon-
esty of the Conservative Government
in thus rewarding M. P's who voted the
party ticket whether or no. No one
made more noise or professed more vir-
tue on that score than Mr. Cameron,
but to and behold at the very first op-
portunity be, too, runs after Mammon.
'Tie passing Strange what a change
sitting at the right of Mr. Speaker has
had upon heretofore upright and guile-
less Liberals. 'Twould be a thousand
pities to send down another unto good
from this Ridir)g only to have him se-
du6ed from the path of virtue. How-
ever, since Mr. Cameron has yielded to
temptation, is it not most fit and pro-
per that he should go to Regina to lord
it over poor Lo, for who has champion-
ed the cause of the copperfaces with
more zeal and verbosity than Cameron
of Huron ?

are not foolishly premature, fur• soon
after the prorogation of Parliament
Duncan C. Fraser will fling aside the
dignity of M. P. to be crowned Chief
Justice by the Government for which
he has worked so faithfully and well.
Fraser's is not the only seat in the
House to become vacant in the near
future, Malcwlrri C. Cameron, whom
Dan McGillicuddy would rather see in
jail than office, has it tight gtip on the
prize he sought. Cameron will be
the successor of Charlie Mackintosh as
Lieutenant -Governor of the North-
West, so surely as his son in-law is at
this moment the capable postmaster of
Goderich.
The protest against the return of Mr.
