At. HISLOP'S OPINION. It is at gerrymander pure and simple. Geographically, such a redistribution cannot be befended. The only excuse for such ti nuttila- tion is political expediency, The way in which it has been cut down was fore -showed by local Conser- vatives some months ago. For in- stance, Mr, W, H. Kerr, of Brussels who was nominated for the East riding by the Liberals, and 1{r, W. Proudfoot, K. C., the Liberal 1101111110e in the West, have now been thrown into one constituency. Thttt, too, was rumored in party circles some time ttgo, and what the Conservative party managers boasted of has come true, What is the use of Mr. Whit- ney tatlking of making an unpartial redistribution, when the whole thing was apparently cut-and,dried by the local managers ? In the ridings no they stand at present both parties have a fighting chance, while as it is proposed to divide them the Con- servatives have what they consider two safe scats and one Liberal hive, Huron is to all intents and purposes divided as it was in 1872 by the late Sit' John A, Macdonald, when it was described by the late ,Tosopi Ryms1 as "bearing no resemblance toauty- tuing in heaven above or the earth beneath." In the classic words of Premier Whitney, Centre Huron as proposed will he a 'scarified rentini- scene of what a decent riding ought to be,"—Globe. Exeter. 'I'Ite meeting of the citizens in the Town Hall to consider the advisability of celebrating 11av 2.lth was adjourned until Friday evening to receive reports of committees appointed.
