Both parties are pUtting up a Strong
fight in the election to be held in this
riding on the 4th of December. A big
list of Conservative speakers are an-
nOunc'ed for meetings to be 0 held,„ in-
cluding Mr Whitney, who is to address
the electors in Clinton, on FriclaYeyen-
ing, lien. Mr Ross speaks in Wing

Where else in this riding ; -Hon..
Stratton, speaks at Auburn on Thurs-
day, Dungannon on Friday and Clin-
ton:no Monday ; Hon. Mr Latchford
speaks it Rintail on Saturday and at
Gocierich on Monday. ,
The Conservatives believe they have
a good fighting chance and are bound'
to make the most of it, because they
think it will have Borne ' effect .in the
general elections, If they can succeed
in winning it, they will point to it as
an evidence thatthe government has
lost the confidence of the people in a
Liberal constituency, . and therefore,
they have also lost it in the country.
The'riding is ordinarily a Liberal one;
it has a Liberal majority, and only by
the support of Liberal votes, or WU-
ference of Liberal voters can Mr Beck
be elected:. The Liberals owe it to Mr
txarrow to see that he is returned by a
good majority. He was fairly •elected
in the last contest there was not

that he got one so1ita6 vote improper-

came out last week, in his bland way,
with a reference to the Brussels Salt

for taking charge and keeping things

Bansford, of Clinton, who are now In
charge of the salt business here, have
decioled to drop the old name "Enter-
prise Salt Works" and give, the town
more prominence by designating them
"Briissels Salt Works" in all their ad-
vertising, labels on barrels, sacks and
other packages. In this we very heart-

APPLIES TO COUNCILLORS.—
There is, probably, not one municipal
councillor in a hundred who is aware
the liquor license act of Ontario con-
tains Buell a clause as the following.
It was this clause that occasioned the
retirement and disqualification of
Mayor Morris, of Ottawa, e. few days6
ago. The clause is as follows; "If a
member of any municipal council is
convicted of 'having knowingly coin-
• 'Pitted any offence under this act
(Liquor License Act) he shall, in ad-
dition to any other penalty in which
be might be liable under this act,
thereby forfeit and vacate his seat, and
shall be ineligible to be elected or sit or
vote in any municipal council for two
years there after; and if any person
after the forfeiture aforesaid, sits or
votes in any Municipal council he shall
incur a penalty of $40 f 3r every day he
sits and votes,"
