which he must be congratulated. The
fact that the 'tiding had been gerry-

4411E .RESULT SHOWS WHAT A GOOD CAUSE AND
POPULAR CANDIDATES CAN ACCOMPLISH. •
The result of last Thursday's election,so far as the banner county of .
Huron,is concerned, is .eminently satisfactory to the Conservative and
Independent eleetors.
The three ridings had been "gerrymandered," "redistributed," "fix-
ed," call it what you will, so as to ensure the election of the .Liberal
7candidates who, in consequence thereof, consideredthemselves as so many
"cocks o' the walk." They counted the chickens too soon, however, for a
united Conservative party, aided by the Independents, put them out of
business. • „a:: • ;• • ."
• It isr'indeed, gratifying to; be able to record such a "Complete turnover
• in this goodold county. • For the•fitst time since Confederation Huron is
• represented by three Conservatives. They are all strong, capable nien
who will render their constituents good service inthe•:: Parliament of Can-
' ada.
In the West Riding the campaign was a -quiet one but both' parties •
strained every nerve and the result was • decided upon. the merits of •• the
candidates' and the causes which they represented. Mr, Holmes' majority
• decreased in Clinton, Colborne awl Goderich, but increased in • Ashfield. .
On the other hand .Mr.• Lewis. inade a great gain in the, town of Goderich
and placed Colborne in the. Conservative 'column. The campaign was a
clean one, .at• jeast so far as the I Voservatives had thdo with it„and their
splendid' victory has put •them. nue spirit forth°. coming: Provincial'
campaign. •• •• • • • •. ••• • • ,. •
• The greater: part Of the platform work on behalf of Mr. Lewis • was
done by Rev. Jos. Elliott of Goderich, who developed unexpected strong- • .
th as a. campaigner.. Perhaps th strongest tribute to • his 'effectiveness is . '
the vindictiveness with which he is assaiied,•by a certain section. •of the •
Liberal party, which reads and quotes' with much unction the editorials . .
and speeches .of Rey'. 'J. A. Macdonald, editor. in chief of the TerontoGlo-
be, but yet o.bjects to Rev J. Elliott taking a- prominent part in politi-
cal affairs. ... .
In .South Huron the „Conservative -cause has heretofore been considered..
quite ,hopeless, the Riding having almost ineariably rna-
joxity of several -hundred, but polities in the South is clanging and now
