'. POLITICAL HISTORY.
The history of that portion of Can -

.the District of Huron as a political
constituency, dates from the last par-
liamentary election therein in 1635.

The election of 1835 resulted in AL
return of 34 Reformers and 2.4 Tories
to the Assc tably-among the latter
lia.ptain Robert Graham Ounlop, who
had retired from the Royal isaty. The
hustings were erected on the octagon
tu Gocterich but the night before the
election thy were burnt(' by a party
of rioters, supposed to consist 01
" malcontents" who were dissatisfied
with the doctrines 01 either party.
The returning officer on this oecasiou
wus Mr. lieury Ilyndman, subsequent-
ly ,the first Sherill of the 1.) strict.
The opponent of Captain Dunlop on
this occasion was Col. Anthony Van
Boit no,who is destreing of more than
a Lassmg notice in this work ; lor
besides teing one of the earliest set-
tlers of the district,the record 01 his
life and eh cuinstances of los death

Van Eginond, who was one of the
leading spirits in the troubles which
culminated in the fall of the Dutch

,s military career covered a space
of tweuty live years of perhaps the
bloodiest period of modern European
history, and during this career he was
w ounded fourteen times and covered
wi th sears.
Soon alter the defeat of the French

-The Canada Company gave a bonus

each of these houses on condition that
travellers should be entertained there-
in at prices usual in the old settle -

County Colonel Van 1•41nond liked it
so well that lie left his home in Wat-
erloo and settled in the Huron tract,
• where he built the tavern last above
mentioned and here he continued to
reside until his deathr which will be
referred to anon.
'''.'4"-e•olenel Van Eginond was a man of
great enterprise and energy. Antici-
pating a lush of emigration, he laid
in • a stock of about 5(10 barrels of
flour during 1831 • in the winter ol
1831-32 his anticipations were realized
. and this proved a most profitable bus-
iness venture and for some time after
this he kept twenty four -horse teams
on the road between Toronte and God-
erich to bring in emigrants and their
goods.
During the political excitement at -
big. the attempts of the Refqrm
party to rescue Canada from the grasp
of the oligarchy, the Colonel fully en-
dorsed the doctrines of the Reformers,
, which led to his being selected as the
candidate at the first election in the
district above alluded to. As time
pdssed and the grievances of the Re-
formers were multiplied instead of be-
ing removed by the duplicity and gen-
eral incapacity of Sir Francis Head,
at that thne Lient.-Governor, Col.
Van Eginond adhered to the party
whose doctrines he had originally es-
peiused and When the crisis arrived he
flew to the assistant of the supporters

At the new election, which ovearred .
111 1841, the eandidates for the Os-
trict were Mr. N1 Wham Dunlop, a
brother 01 the Captain, and subse-
quently the Iirst warde0 ot the dis-
iiiet, and James MeGill Strachan,
the former being, like his brother, P.
supporter of the Tory atbninistration
whilethe latter advocated the SOW-
nts championed by Robert Baldwin
and his colicagues. Mr. Strachan was
this tone declared elected, but his el-
ection being petitioned against, the
Loverunient sent a committee of three .
lawyers up from Toronto to sit as an
Election court, and as a result Mr.
Dunlop was " counted in" and took
his seat in the First Parliament -of
nited Canada which was convened at
ieingston on the 131.11 of June follow-
ing.
The House was dissolved le • 1844
and Mr. Dunlop having about this
time accepted the superintendency ol
the Lachine Canal, brought Mr. (af-
terwards Hon. William) cayley up in-
to the district and .ntroducecl him 'as
the " coining man" for the suffrages
of the Tory party in the district. He
was accordingly their candidate at
the election of that year and was el- •
eeted over Mr. John Longworth, who
ran in the Reform interest. In 1851
Mr. Cayley was successfully opposed.
by Hon. Malcolm. Cameron, but after
the dissolution of the House in 1854
he defeated Mk. Illus. McQueen • of the
Huron Signal, the candidate of the
Reformers, having 'resurrected from
the political oblIvion to which his.
former defeat in 1851 had consigned
-
him. Mr. Cayley again offered him-
self as a candidate in 1857, but Was
defeated by Mr. John Holmes of God-
erich township. Mr. Holmes came to
Canada from County R•ilkenny, Ire-
land, in 1830. He represented °his
township in the District and County
Councils many years and serveci sever-
al terms as Warden.
• In 1861 Mr. tayley suffered his
third defeat in this constituency, this
time at the hands of Mr. lames Dick-
s in of Tuckersmith, who was elected
oy acclamation in 1863, after the dis-
,olution in the House, and continued
,n office until Confederation in 1867.
Mr. Dickson probably represented a.
greater number of constituents -during•
his two terms .of office than any other
member of the Canadian Parliament,
as at thattime the Counties of Mg.,.
on • and Bruce were united for parlia-
mentary as well as for municipal pur-
poses and contained 'upwards of 8or-
100 people. At the close of his par-
liamentary career Mr. Dickson re-
veived the appointment of -County
Registrar, an office which he retained
for some time. • -
By the " Redistribution Act" Bruce
was set apart by,itself and Huron div-
ided into the two ridings of North
and South Huron, for election pur-
poses, and each of these riding sent a
member each to the Commons and .
Legislature. The old Huron Road
formed the dividing line •betweenthe
two and the first general election me-
tier Confederation witnessed a triang-,
tiler contest in the North Riding, the
candidates being Messrs. Joseph
hitehead, ledependent ; l•ohn.
Holmes, Reform, and. Thos. Ferro*,
fory, for- which the term "Conserva-
tive" was about this time substituted. -
in the South Riding . the candidates
were Messrs. Malcolm Colin. Cameron
and I). II. Ritchie, the -former being.
elected by the Reformers.
In 1871 there was sufficient popula,'
Lion to entitle the county t� three.
:embers and at the election in 1872
Mr. Farrow was again elected for ,the
. orth t Hint ()ter
. .
Somerville, who ran ,in the Liberal in-
terest. In the Centre Mr. Horace Hor-
ton, Reformer, was elected over Mr.
lutellead, who ran as an -Indepen-
dent, while in the South Mr. M. , C.
Cameron defeated Mr. Greenway, thit.
Conservative nominee.
• In 1874 Mr. Farrow defeated Dr..
Sloan of Blyth in the North Riding ;.•
Mr. Greenway was elected by accla-
mation ,n the South and Mr. Horton'.
defeated yr. Chris Crabb in. the
Centre. lu 1878 Mr. Farrow was a-
gain elected in: the North, •defeating
or. Sloan the second time; in the
Centre Mr. Horton defeated Mr. Sari -
net Platt, the Conservativecandidate,
and in the South Mr. Cameron was
ilected in opposition to Mr. POrter,
who ran as an advocate of " Protec-
tion.''
Mr. Horton resigned his seat soon
after the election, however, and the•
Liberals selected as their candidate -to
fill the vacancy the Hon. R. J.. Cart.
wright, who was opposed by Ali.
1•latt, but elected by a good major-
ity.
t he Ontario Legislature was created
by the " British North America Act,"
the same which called the Dominion
into existence, and Huron became en-
titled to two representatives iia this
I,ody also.
The same metes and bounds were ob-
served in the formation of the ridings.
lor the I,ocal House as those for the
Commons, and at the first election in
the candidates for the seat in the
North Riding Were Messrs. Thotnas
Gibson, Reformer, and - Hayes,Con-
servative ; the latter being elected. In
the South Riding the same year Mr.:
Robert Gibbons, afterwards Sheriff
of the county, defeated Mr. Isaac Car-
ling and held the seat during two ses-
s,ons, at the end of which time, Ow-
ing- to an alleged informality in re-
cetving the votes of some unnatural-
ized residents of Hay, Mr. Gibbons'
election was declared void and Mr)
Carling assumed the seat. In 1871)
however, when the same 'Ivry gentle-
men opposed each other in the same
riding Mr. 'Gibbons was elected by 4
• decisive majority, but after liavitig
served two terms in the House- he
received the appointment of Sherif/
and the South Riding was °ace more
the scene of a spirited contest, this
time heti/Veen Messrs. Archibald Bish-
op,Liberal and - Case, Conservative,

One night 1 was sitting in my little

At that moment Watts came hi. glo

he was. the only son of a silly • mother.
And so she had never sent him to school

to be kIck.ed' by the horrid; rough boys,
but had kept him at home with a tutor,
who wore speetacles, and had got intothe
-habit of eternally catching butterflies and
mothsand thingsand killing them and
putting their little corpses in boxes' with
their wings stretched out. If he had done

things were incompatible, . • ,
As for Molle herself, 1 had my Ideas

we had bowled our:beeps together In the

a ride and game of hockey in each other's

something ofthat erratic and athletic

conclusion, first, It. Watts -would cease to
