Mr. John Cox of Goderich Township Will Retire from Municipal Life.— Mr. James Connolly is a ,candidate for the County Council and Mr. Thos. Churchill is in the field for the Reeveship. The state of affairs in Goderichtown- ship, so far as municipal politics is concerned, c acct is epitomized rn the heading. Mr. Cox after a long and honorable career in the service of both township and county has decided to retire at the end of this year. Reeve Connolly is now in the field for the county council ar d Deputy -Reeve Churchill is an as- pirant for the reeveship. Mr. Cox was horn iu Goderich town- ship fifty- six years ago and just half that time has been before the public. having been a' candidate in twenty- eight elections. In all that time he only experienced three defeats. He was thirteen years a member of the township council, ten years reeve and for the past two has been a member of the county council. In 1897 he was warden, Mr. Cox won his first elec- tor) by a majority of one and at his last received the largest number of votes recorded for any candidate for county council honors. This iinplies first and foremost., if it implies any- thing, thatJohn Cox wears exceeding- ly well. He now retires voluntarily, though only in his prime, and notwith- standing the fact that no war horse likes to he shelved, but it is with a pirecor cudd. of which any man Wight be Mr. Cox's retirement of course brings Mr. Connolly to the front for what, is more natural than,that the reeve should aspire to the county council. Mr. Connolly is also a native of the township, indeed he was born upon the farm upon which he has lived to the present. His ability, tact and force of character are well known and it is'pr•e- dicted by his friends that they will yet be given recognition in a more int - portion body than that to which he is at present aspiring. Deputy -Reeve Churchill first saw the light of day iu Tipperary, not of the Emerald Isle but that part of thetown- ship which has been so designated be- cause natives of Old Tipperary predom- inated in the early days of the settle- ment. He has been eight years in the council, four years as counciilor and four as deputy, and Mr. Connolly being about to step up it follows that Mr. Churchill should do likewise. He cannot remain where he is, deputy - reeves will soon be a thing of the past, and as no present MOM bey of the council intends becoming a candidate for the reeveship and the electors are not under the circumstances likely to choose an experienced man in prefer- ence to himself, his election would seem very probable. Many promin- ent ratepayers are of -the opinion that it would be a graceful act on the part • of the township to return 4Ir. Church- ill by acclamation. Rev. lir. Millyard flay Be Called To London. The quarterly official board of the Askin street Methodist church, Lon- don, has held several meetings to con- sider the question of asking the pres- ent pastor, Rev.

The Weekly Sun of Toronto, an in- • dependent journal, though rather in- clined to Liberalism, says Mr. Garrow's acceptance of a title on the etre of an election is an act meant to bribe. In it's article on the appoint- ment the Sun speaks thus :— He (Mr. Hardy) would have the elec- tors of West Huron understand that Mr. Garrow will now have soinethiug to do with the dispensation of patron- age, and that the workers will not be forgotten. This appoinlureot on the eve of an election, if it he not another of Mr. Hardy's errors of impulse, can only be regarded as a subtle act of cor- ruption. A Minister without portfolio has no place under a system of which the principle is that a Minister is an - executive officer responsible to the Legislature and the people for his acts. What use can there he for a Minister who performs no acts ? To say that his counsel is necessary to the execu- tive action of the Ministers' who hold portfolios is mere trifling. Zurich.
