DISGRACEFUL DELAY, . • • . •
. . ,
• .. . .
. • Brussels Post .:-By their dilly. --dallying • -over the . vacant
• Registrarship of Huron the Provincial Cabinet has 'fairly been
made a laughing stock of, Instead of 'filling the position so
days after the decease of the late incumbent years have been
allowed, to ela.pse .and instead of. the 'situation improving riew '
entanglements have arisen. Mow of those who were appli- • .
;cants have ceased urging their claims, having grown weary
'of the long delay but there are yet at least three, if not more
who are still pressing. toward the goal. In favor: Of One tan-
didate stands the recommendation of two of the M. • r, rs .
. ..
. .
of the eounty and how Any Cabinet tau pass over tbis.posi.
tion• ofaffairsis not apparent to the writer. If local repro-
. setttation counts. for anything it cannot be ignored. and .
should aid the cabinet in ail easy solution of the question.
Another gentleman is said to be backed by members of the.
Cabinet who are not ready to relinquish their favorite,. while
.
a third applitant lias years of service both in and out Of the
House to his credit and is not willing to allow this opportint-
. ity to past unimproved. Different dates have been set when
the appohitirient would be made but up to this time the of- ,
flee is still. unfilled, as far as we know. • The situation will •
• not .be improved by hesitancy ' and no 'matter who receives it
now there Will be incite or less soreness, heitte the desirability
al closing it up. If tho members of the County are. the proper
source of approach to the GOVatinlient they should insist that
action be taken speedily. If hope deferred maketh the heart
sick there has been ample room for heart failure over Huron
. Co, Registrarship, and in our hurnbit ()Pinion unfteeeSsarily to
