LET JUSTICE BE DONE.
The present cimpaign is not so inueli
Orit vs. Tory, or the Ins against the
Outs, as a struggle for justice, an effort
to obtain for "Joe" Beck the seat
which he so gallantly von in the gen-
eral elections and of which he was rob-
bed by means which will uot stand the
light of investigation.
This, then, is not as much a matter
of politics as a fight for fair play and,
this virtue not being the monopoly of
either party, old affiliations will be
cast aside for the time being and Lib-
erals, who are so in deed as well as in
nanee, will go to the polls and quietly
mark their ballots for Mr. Beck. We
believe that many will follow this
cc urse to indicate their disapproval of
the unjust tactics employed against
the candidate who is not a lawyer and
unfortunately, does not possess the
wealth of his opponent..

OARROW'S EMPTY HONOR.
The appointment of Mr. Garrow as a
minister without a portfolio, when he
was not even a member of the Legis-
lature, is rightly regarded by the in-
dependent press all over the country
as a petty trick of Hardy's and meant
as a bribe for the electorate of West Plu-
ton. Not even the self-righteous Globe
can frame a sufficient reason for his
promotion at this juncture.
As a matter ot fact Garrow's eleva-
tion, instead of reflecting honor upon
this riding, is nothing less than a
slur. It is an intimation to the prov-
ince that he considers West Huron
may be bought by so trifling a thing
as this empty honor,
If for nothing else than this attempt
at bribery the Goderich lawyer has
richly earned an emphatic sdefeat on
December 8th.
The turning -down of Garrow will
signify to Ontario that this historical
riding is not so easily purchased, least
of all not by such a mess of pottage.
It will have a big influences too, in
purifying the political atmosphere.
THE BLACK BRIGADE.
The Black Brigade is a gang of
professional bribers and boodlers
organized on behalf of the Hardy
Government and which moves from
riding to riding as the bye -elections
°CCM'.
These blackguards boodleci in Wel-
lington and bribed in South Ontario
and now they are plying their rascality
in West Huron.
The presence of these fellows is an
insult to the electors of this constitu-
ency and Ft honk' be regarded as such,
In the interests of honest politics
they must he watched and driven out
and if in so doing it is found necessary
to inflict corporal punishment, the
yeomen of old Huron will signify their
approval.
A pure election cannot be held while
such a gang infests the riding and no
one is better aware of this than Mr.
Garrow himself.
• TOO BIANY LAW YERS.
That Clinton is so peaceful a town
and the country round about so law-
abiding, is sometimes claimed to be
due to (Ise presence of few lawyers
in the Hub.
Be that as it may, it will be generally
conceded that the number of lawyers
is altogether too great, that is, especi-
ally, as representatives of rural con-
stituencies such as West Huron,
Every limb of the law when he
reaches the Legislature must try his
apprentice hand upon the statutes.
"He couldn't help it if he would and he
wouldn't if he could, and the result is
innumerable laws and amendments
which scarcely two judges interpret
alike. Occasionally, as the country
knows full well to its cost, special ses-
sions have had to be called to
straighten out a, tangle into which these
law -makers got themselves.
Fever lawyers in the House will
mean fewer laws and fewer laws fewer
lawyers in the country.
H the farmers and workingmen of
West Huron want as their representa-
tive a lawyer pure and simple, one
who, except when a campaign is in
progress, knows nobody except his
clients, then they have only to vote
for Garrow.
But if they prefer a plain, every -day -
the -same man, shrewd and experienc-
ed, then they will mark their ballots
for "Joe" Beck,
Mr. Garrow has called him "Joe" ;
could we do less ? Our tone, though,
is one of friendship and respect while
the lawyer has sought, but in vain, to
belittle his opponent.
TO THE DEPUTIES.
The d. r. o's at the coming election
will in all probability be much the
same as on March 1st last. Few an-
ticipate that they. will be any better
as a whole, while fewer still think they
could be much worse.
To some of these officials a note of
warning may be tiniely.
Their sympathy with Garrow Is well
understood, but if they allow sym-
pathy, inclination, carelessness or any-
thing else to stand in the way of a
proper performance of their duty, they
can take it for granted that they will
be prosecuted t,o the utmost extent of
the law.
Let us have a fair election, even
though Garrow and the Government
have massed their forces to crush
"Joe" Beck.
Let the ballot boxes he sacred, the
returns properly tilled in and no dig-
erepanefes between agents' signed
statements and the ballots when
counted by the Judge.
IS this asking too much P
TI -IE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD,
LOST THE SEAT
BECAUSE CORRUPT.
The joke of the season is Mr. Gar -
row's statement at the Dungannon
convention that he would conduct as
honest a campaign as he knew bow,
whereat the delegates broadly grinned
and the "workers" laughed in their
sleeves.
None had forgotten that he resigned
the seat because he was afraid to face
exposure in open court.
And if one election was won by dis-
honest means, does the presence of the
Black Brigade and the acceptance of
the post of tyler at the Cabinet council
chamber go to show that, he really
wants a test of public opinion, honest-
ly arrived at.
Mr. Garrow's jokes are rather ot a
idiculous nature,
Too Smart To Be Strong.
An independent journal cannot teach
the Ontario Government anything
about its strength or weakness, and
there may 14iuside reasons for the ac-
tion which indicates that the result in
the contest of West Huron is a matter
of life and death to the Hardy Adtnin-
istration.
If the Liberal cause is so desperate
that an empty title must he used as a
bribe to bring a majority of the West
Huron electors to the rescue of the On-
tario Government, then it is pretty
nearly time for Hon. A. S. Hardy and
Hon. J. T. Garrow to put up the shut-
ters.
The whole dodge smells of the petty
amartness of the young Liberal Napo-
leons at Ottawa, and is absolutely un-
worthy of a public man who was the
peer of Oliver Mowat and of C. F. Fra-
ser.
There was a titne when the Ontario
Government was not so unduly smart,
and yet was a good deal stronger than
it is to -day. Hon. A. S. Hardy knows
that Christopher Findlay Fraser went
through a battle in which the whole
power of the Dominion Government
was arrayed against the Liberals. The
Conservatives in Brockville caused Mt.
Fraser to fight for his life in his own
constituency, and yet this strong man
in his scorn for the very appearance isf
bribery, waited until the polis were
closed, and then in a speech, thanking
the electors for returning him, even by
a comparatively narrow majority, an-
nounced that he had secured the pas-
sage of an Order -in -Council establish-
ing an asylum in Brockville.
Contrast the strength of a Liberal
leader who secured a great Govern-
ment favour for his constituency, and
never said a word about it until after
the election, with the smnrtness of the
Liberal leaders who dangle an empty
bauble in the sight of the people of
one of their old strongholds, in the
hope of practically bribing them to
vote against the Opposition candidate.

As Straight as a Corkscrew.
The temperance people of Canada
are getting anxious to know "where
they are at." They feel that the
government is as straight on the
liquor question as a corkscrew hut
they cannot make out whether it is the
intention of the honourable gentlemen
to put down whiskey as the Sidney
Fisher wing would put it down, or as
Mr. Doraville put down whiskey in the
Yukon.—Montreal Star.
Petty Bribery.
To assume that brevet rank of
Cabinet Minister without Portfolio is
necessary co the success of an Ontario
Government's candidate in the old
Liberal constituency of West Huron,
is to throw a deck load of discredit
on the running powers of Hon. J. T.
Garrow.—Toronto Telegram.

The concert in Calvin church on Fri-
day evening was very successful. Miss
Crozier as an elocutionist has a very
attractive manner, while Miss Chia-
holtn's singing was much appreciated.
Winthrop.
The chief of a certain gang in the
vicinity of Winthrop bad a very nar-
row escape from being as rested on
Tuesday, 22nd November. He was
loafing around in Mr. Govenlock's grist
mill, talking and boasting that he did
not care for the constable nor anyone
of his race, when quite unexpectedly
the constable came in. The chief took
in the situation at once and seeing there
was no means of escape resolved to
fight for liberty and made a vicious
right.hand swing at the constable, but
missed his aim. and in return received
a left-hand punch on the nose, which
laid him on his back for a, moment.
But he was up again in time to meet
the officer, who renewed the battle
and would have got away with his
man MI right but for the arrival of the
hitter's wife, who took the attention of
the constable for a eecond, giving her
husband a splendid chance tn cow°,
and he at once made himself seerce.
No one seems to know where he went.,
but he is certainly itt large yet.
The three yonng ladies who were
molested on then, way Illionne from

The members of Inverness Camp
matched to Knox church from their
hall on Sunday last wearing their
badges, only four of their number
wearing the regulation plaids. The
sermon was delivered by the pastor of
Knox church, Rev. Mr. Anderson,
which was one of the finest, most in-
structive and to the point addresses
ever delivered to the members of In-
verness Camp. Rev.. Mr. Anderson
preached from the text 1st chapter,
llth verse of the gospel of St. John,
"One of, the two which heard John
speak and followed him was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother. Both were
fishermen." Rev. Mr. Anderson told
his hearers that Andrew, besides being
the first disciple ()I' Christ, was, previ-
ous to his recognition of Christ, one of
the disciples of John the Baptist and
suffered martyrdom on the cross tit
Puttee in Admire St. Andrew, know-
ing he would be crucified, chose a cross
in the shape of an X, feeling unworthy
of the honor of being crucified on a
cross of the same design as our Savi-
our, and to -day all followers of St.
Andrew have his cross for thele badge,
which is the symbol of humility and
love for and faith in each other and in
Christ, After Christ's death as the
Son of Man, St. Andrew preached in
Jerusalem for some time, but after
that his career as an apostle is un-
known. Tradition hath it onlythat
m
he suffered.martyrdoand that in the
ntnth century St. Regulus. or Rule,
took refuge in the present city, of St.
Andrews, forty-four miles from Edin-
burgh, bringing with him some of the
hones of St, Andrew, which being en-
shrined there, continued to be an ob.
ject of pilgrimage for several centuries.
At present a cave at t he eve shore
still bears the name of St. Rule. Ste
Andrew is the patron saint of Scot-
land and is also held in great esteem
and veneration in Rtissia, as the
apostle who, according to tradition,
first preached the gospel in that coun-
try. Before our Saviour's Passion
some Greeks applied to Philip to pro-
cure them a sight of Him. Philip and
Andrew together informed Jesus and
the Greeks were doubtless admitted,

and in the evening an overflow meeting
was conducted in the basement. Ser-
