The Conservatives of South Huron are in splendid spirit for the coming campaign and there will be a great turnout at the convention jj Hensall next Tuesday.

At the West Huron Liberal con- vention held in Goderich on Monday the ballot stood : Cameron 78, Proud - foot 51, so that the present 'member is again the choice. Thus ends the fight against Mr. Cameron which has been going on for some time, and which, it was fully expected in some quarters, would end in his discom- fiture. The malcontents said that he shauld be satisfied with the lucre,- ' live office which he holds under the Dominion Government and give . way. to •a more generally acceptable Can- didate. But, not a bit pf it, said. he in effect, and hustling among thi delegates he secured a•ana,joxity • and now they must abide with him, wire-- ther or no: It is claimed by Mr. Cameron that the Temperance Liberats, sueh as, well there are several of. them in Clinton, who could not conscientious- !), vote for him last times will be: found among his Most enthusiastic supporters in the coming contest, If such is the case it will canny be inferred that they have either aban- doned Temperance or that their win,. sistency is not priceless. .

Ross • having got -tothis end of his tether, the Lieutenant - Governor has dissolved the Legisla- ture and set the date for the.general. electioes at january. 25th. Before . taking the plunge it is said Premier Ross consulted Cap. Sullivan, Or- ganizer Vance, Commodore Suther,. land of the Minnie.M. and others of the worthies,his lieutenants. • • The Ballot Box Fraud. A gentleman, who has recently re- turned from Kingston, gives a scription of the man Hawkey, who iS alleged to have used one of the 1sogtis ballot boxes at Clarendon, ,Poll No. 2. According to the informantallaw- • key could not travel far on his looks, He has one eye, a jaw that sticks out like the cow -catcher of a loco- motive, and a face which looks hard enough to creek hickory nuts on. He was also a rabid Grit; These qualificatioes, together with a robust muscular developMent, certainly stamped Hawkey as an .ideal. to us.e bogus ballot box. • Th,e Clinton, News -Record UoIrnsviIe Zurich.

Miss Cooper of Porter's 11111 was the guest of Mrs. Will. Pickard on Sunday.. The Balance of -Power. The Rev. William Kettlewell of St. Thomas says that he has, with two exceptions, voted Liberal, both In Provincial and Dominion politics, but • he now deems it to be his duty to vote against the Ross Govern- ment, because of its breach of faith in regard to nrohrbition. He a party should be supported only when !Os right. "If you support your party when it does wrong, you forfeit your influence upon it fOr the right, and the party will go on tieing wrong, believing that you will stick to it in spite of its corruption aets. The only way in which you can in- fluence your party for ,good is to teach it that you are sufficiently in- dependent to oppose it, or, at least, to witnhold your support when it is wrong. A season in the cold shades of opposition may be not only the lsest for the country, but for the par- ty itself." The unswerving devotion to party, of which Mr. Kettlewell speaks, is one of the greatest obstacles to re- form. The criminal element of either party would be powerless if it were not that they know that they can rely on the honest but -unwavering partiean in the long run. He may be shocked, may grumble and condemn, and deplore ; but in the limg run he will find some reason for voting) with his party. He will never apply the standard remedy, namely, to vote against his Own party, turn ottt the Government and make fraud and cor- ruption unprofitable. It is by votes of this kind that the elector can make his power felt. A large proportion of the vote Will be cast Liberal and Conservative re- gardless of the merits et the case. A small number of electors' can turn an election one way or the other, Why should we leave that balance of power in the hands of Corruptible electors ? Why Phould we deliberate- ly throw away our sttongest weapon against misgovernment by ewearing that we will never cast anything but a Conservative or a Liberal vote, as the case may be; in other words, that a Government or a set of party leaders may do as they please, and may rely on being supported, right ig wrong. The One Better • Than All Others Some of .the large city weekly pa- pers are vainly attemptieg to follow in the footsteps of the treat Mon- treal weekly, the Family Herald and Weekly Star. The' universal circula- tion of the great .•paper mere than doudle we are told, that of all the city weeklies in Canada ciambaned, enables the publishers to spend en- ormous "sums every year to keep the Family Herald always in the lead. No money is spared to secere the be- -,that can be, got, and subscribets receive the benefit. The niggiest val- ae today in the newspaper market is the Family Herald and Weekly Star and their beautiful picture "The Prin- cess at Work," for eve atelier.
