Clinton, December 8th, 1898.
John Cox Will Retire.
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.

A SUBTLE ACT OF CORRUPTION.
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.
