Galt Gets ;slits Gruel.
HIO FATHER -IN LAW'S ACTION.
AFTER A LONG AND ANXIOUS WAIT GALT
IS APPOINTED—THF. NEW APPOINT-
EE WAS OUT ON THE COAST
WHEN THE NEWS ARRIVi:D.
Goderich Signal (Grit.)
Friday afternoon last a letter was re-
ceived by M. C. Cameron, M. P. , from
the Postmaster -General, stating that
Postmaster Campbell's removal had
been decided upon, and that John Galt,
Cameron's son-in-law, had been ap-
pointed. At first the story was dis-
cr-edited, and particularly was this the
case when the source of the informa-
tion on the street was found to be L, E.
Dancey, but later the report was con-
firmed by others getting hold of it from
the fountain head.
It appears that when M. C. Cameron
got the letter the trews was at once
given to the members of his family,
and they began to jubilate over the
great victory that had been achieved
in having Galt appointed against the
wishes of the constituency. L. E.
Dancey, Cameron's fugleman,was at
once sent for so that word could be
quickly passed around town and Dan-
cey, we are informed, made it door-to-
door call to spread the information.
A telegram was despatched to the
Coast telling Galt, who was on a com-
mercial trip, to return, as the billet
had been !ragged, and joy and great
gladness was the order of the evening
in and around the Cameron home-
stead.
Could M. C. Cameron have heard
public opinion on his conduct when the
news began to spread, his ears would
have tingled. Outside of the little
clique with which he has surrounded
himself, the Reformers are as much op-
Vsed to the rascally transaction as the
Tories, and it would have taken little to
have started an indignation meeting
that would have embraced altriostevery
man and woman in town.
An erroneous idea, however, appears
to prevail, and that is that Gaut was
brought here specially for the position
of postmaster. To remove that it may
be stated that Gait appeared in
Goderich before the election in June of
last year, and the postmastership was
not then in jeopardy. Cameron had
deserted Laurier, stating that he
would not again be a candidate and
was a hot applicant for the position of
registrar. n the event of his being
appointed Galt was to have been depu-
ty. Later on Cameron wits induced to
accept the nomination, and the riding
was carried in the reform interest.
How lie endeavored to get even with
the Laurier Government when he

failed to obtain a (�lace in the Cabinet
is a story that will do at another time.
It is sufficient to say that he did not
obtain the registry office, and Galt was
notable to get the deputyship. Then
it was that the opportunity for creat-
ing a vacancy in the postmastershi
was seized by Cameron, and how well
he succeeded in his scheme was de-
monstrated during the pitst week,
Saturday Postmaster Campbell was
notified by Inspector Hopkirk, of
Stratford, to get in readiness to vacate
at an early date, and, we understand,
Postmaster Galt will be installed im-
mediately after his arrival frorn the
West.
It is to be hoped that the manner in
which Mr. Galt ha3 come into the ap-
pointment will not be reinenbered
against him if the Opposition get in
power again, its the opinion is *ener-
ally expressed now that he wou�d re-
ceive scant courtesy at their hands.
The dismissal of Campbell and the
appointment of Galt is not a popular,
move, and the retiring postmaster and
his family have the sympathy of the
great majority of the community.
The only reason for the change is that
Galt is a son-in-law to M. C. Camer-
on.
Whitney Coming to Clinton,
The leader of Ontario's Loyal Op-
position, J. P. WHITNEY, M.P,P., is
