The election ()fleet Thursday, which
resulted in the defeat of Major Beck,
is to be regretted, though not unex-
pected, for it was quite apparent to
everybody that had to contend
against overwhelniing odds. Had the
fight been left betweenthetwo caudir
dates with no, more outside influence
than at the general elections, Garrow
would
would have been to -day the defeated
man. But when the Government
throws all its weight into a constitu-
ency, which implies as, a matter of
• course, the brigade with the bocidie, a
poor man has but little chance of
success.
• One of the features of the day was
the magnificent majority rolled up in
-Witigharn for Beck, notwithstanding
that the Government boodlers tried to
get in their work in that town. •
The town of Goderich flopped the
other way. Various reports are in
circulation as to the -means employed
to bring about that result, and which
-will in all likelihood be investigated in
court in due season.
The official majority, as will be seen
hy. the table below, is only 45, the
smallest majority yet secured by Gar, -

CHEAP POSTAGE/
The present administration is about
to cheapen the postage and the public
is asked to' eulogize them in conse-
quencetthereof. Let us see.
After Christmas it will be possible to
send a letter to Hong Kong for two
nts or to Holmesville for three cents,
to the Fiji Islands for two cents or to
-Brucefield for three, to South Africa at
the reduced rate but to Summerhill,
up the Base line, at the same old
figure.' We have also the priyilege of
carrying on Correspondence with Cal-
cutta in India at the two cent rate,
but we cannot make an enquiry of any
county official at Goderich at less than
three cents. In short, under the new -
order of things a letter may be cart ied
half way around the globe at less than
the rate front Clinton to the nearest
country office.
To say the least, this is a reversal of
the old-fashioned way of doing busi-
ness, which began by distributing its
benefits at home.
Give Canadians the two -cent rate
within their own borders and they will
not complain of the rate to the Fijis,
Gtbraltar, Hong Kong or niany more
of the ports in Mr. Mulock's list.
Garrow's "Influence"
At Winghani.
On Tuesday night it was learned
that a mysterious stranger had arrived
iu town with cash for votes, and he
'vefirrfattfeetr 'under surveillance, and
evidehce secured of the most flagrant
attempts at bribery ever known in
Wingham. On securing the necessary
infotnittioo, E. L. Dickinson, 13res. of
the Conservative Association, issued 11.
circular, stating that, "OPEN AND
SHAMELESS BRIBERY" had been com-
• mitted by Ontario Government em-
ployees in the interests • of the
Reform candidate, • and calling
upon honorable men who were
,willing to place public rnorality above
party to join in stamping out a state
of corruption disgraceful to any cow-
munity. .
The Advance does not for one mo-
ment believe that the respectable Re-
iformers of Wingham countenance such
proceedings as characterized Toesday
night, and we do not wondee they
deny it, and can scarcely believe it. It
is hard to believe; and were the evi-
dence not at hand,. nothing would be
said on -the matter in these columns.
But it Is too true; the money Was
actually paid, and here are a few of
the numbers as a sample :—Dominion
$2 bills, Nos. 145, 140, 103,785, 113,587.
The Advance had hoped that this
campaign would have been free from
the discreditable tactics used to win
seats for the Government in Nipissing,
Lennox and Halton, but the proceedings
of Tuesday night show,how desperate
the case IS and confirms the statement
made last week that the gang were to
visit West Buren. The evidence se•
mired shows that the attempts in
Wiegbam to influence the electors
were Both shameful and 1- hameless.
Winghain's rebuke to the boodiere
was a Putjority of 72 for Beck, If
other tons had done as well, thgov-
ernmentlhat prolongs itS existende by
unfair peactiees would be annihilated.
All honor to Reformers who placed
principle above patty and assisted in

marked to a friend that she would
never again see hina. The funeral took
