A few months ago the HeaforLh Ex-

M. C. Carneron, M. P., should have

But the passing of Carne ton, by the
Benedict Arnold route, should not
affect the cause of true Liberalism in
West Huron, Wh`bn the American
leader turned traitor,e his treason did
not virtually affect
th
t
Y cause
which
he
had formerly espoused, and the pass-
ing of Carneron should not wean Liber-
als from the cause which they have
believed in, and for which they have
fought so earnestly and so well in the
past, True Liberalism is against
family conlpactism, and family cout-
pactism is merely another name for
nepotism. Baldwin and Lafontaine
fought against the Family Compact,
and 3o did Brown and Dorian; Mac-
kenzie and Blake opposed it when the
Liberals were last in Power ; and, we
believe, the greiat, chief, Laurier, is its
true to the integrity of the principI
today as were the giant leaders who
in the past led the people out of the
Political house of bondage.
Ashfield and Wawanosh Liberals are
still true to Laurier ; those in Colborne
and Hullett still revere his name ; the
rank and file in the towns arid, tile.
remnant in Goderich township, are
true as steel to the principles of Re-
form, and the defection of an erstwhile
local leader will not lure theut from
the proper path. No; they will re-

the party, even, if to do so, they be

To all true Liberins the name of M.
C. Cameron is now but a memory --the
memory of it. man who wantonly took
from himself his own good name; who
created the Cameron infinence in
Huron only to destroy it for a price ;
who was willing to wreck the con-
stituency to accomplish his own ends.
So much is this the case, that no repre-
sentative Reformer has dared to curve
forward over his own signature in
print and attempt to defend the course
which has been pursued by the rene-
gade member, and no responsible man
will do it, for Cameron's action is inde-
fensible, wjtltou r

Not long ago the Liberal party of this

States which would necessi tate the cur-

tial to display considerable partisan -
sit' without tieing irAive in politics,
and while we k11ow nothing personally
'is to Mr. Campbell's actions in this
direction the idea certainly prevails,
even among his own political ad-
herents, that he was very strongly
partisan.
The appointment of Mr. Galt as his
successor is not unexpected, as the
mutter has been current ruulour for
some time. There are two grounds on
which objection might be taken to the
appointment, one being that lie has
never done anything to entitle hint to
the position, the other that he is a ron-
in -law of Mr. Cameron, the sitting
member. The ground hits been taken
that Mr. Cameron s'liould not have ap-
pointed a member of his own family?
to a position of emolument, as it was
opposed to the principles of the Liberal
party. There is some force in this
view, and we are inclined to think
that the appointment would not have
been made, had Mr. Cameron been
left with a free hand in the matter, but

During his long pat lianlentary career
he hits certainly never taken advant•
age of his position to help himself or
Ills relatives. We do ii6t know of any
benefit, direct or indirect, that he has
received that he wits not entitled
to. it is well known that he has inade.

The chief applicants for the con-
tenlplated vacancy were Mr. Galt anti
Mi,. McGillicuddy. The former had no
clailus for party consideration; the
Other had. If :lir. McGillicuddy was
not entitled tb the postrnastership, lie
was to something equally valuable, but
In pressing his claims some think he
allowed his zeal to get the better of his
ludgnpent, and said things Lhat would
'lave been better unsaid, The result
was that personal friends of Cameron
then brought pressure to bear, favor-
able to the appointment of Ills wit-ill-
