A SPLENDID VICTORY.
Conservatives Redeem The Three
Hurons By Good Majorities.
THE LAURIER GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED I3Y
A MAJORITY OF 62.
Thursday last was a red letter day Dr, Chisholm should go to Brussels,
and Quito a number accompauied him,
on the afternoon traiu, ninety rail-
way tickets being sold. At Brussels,
carriages were awaiting at the station
for ladies, and a procession was form-
ed headed by the Brussels Baud, fol-
lowed by Dr. Chisholm, the auecessfnl
candidate, and a large number of his
supporters. After parading the prin-
cipal street, the procession stopped at
the Queen's hotel, where Dr. Chisholm
addressed his friends from the led -
cony.
The splendid victory achieved has
encouraged the Conservatives of Brus-
sels and Grey. They have seen what
can be done •by an energetic, popular
candidate and united effort. Tho
Liberal candidate had Iong been re -
won in the election of E. N. Lewis, the I garded as "hard to beat," "invincible,"
energetic and populate -Mayor of God- i etc. This idea has been esanan d by
the victory of Thursday last, d the

future contests.

In the redistribution of seats, the
Hurons had been arranged with the
view of staking East Huron and West
Huron safe for the Liberals, and to
give there a "fighting chance" in the
South. The free and independent
electors, however, checkmated the
Government scheme and gave their
unmistakable answer by electing
three Conservatives,
In West Huron a great victory was
a majority of 73. It had been predict-
ed by Liberal papers that "whoever
the Conservative candidate might be,
he would go down to defeat before
Robt. Holmes." But the prediction can be ascertained they are :--

that "went down." , EAST HURON,

The official count takes place in
Brussels to -day, and the full figures
will be given next week. So far as
Iu East Huron the victory was most
gratifying and decisive. In this riding Wroxeter
the township of East Wawanosh, with l Blyth
at Liberal majority of 73 had been add- Grey
ed to the former constituency of East Morris
Huron, which gave a Liberal majority
of 140 at last election, making a ma-
jority of 213 to overcome. This was
supposed to be an impassable barrier
to any Conservative who should dare
to enter the lists against the ex -Depu-
ty Speaker.
Nothing daunted by this, however,
the Conservatives, after much persua-
sion, induced Dr. T. Chisholm to con-
sent to be their candidate. He was
soon surrounded by as fine a band of
workers as ever a candidate could de-
sire, and from the first few weeks of
the canvass it was evident that a
change was taking place in public
opinion. As the campaign progressed
encouragementaccumulated,and many
life-long Liberals, who considered it
was "time for a change," volunteered
their support. Indeed, the splendid
victory achieved in East Huron might
not have been won had it not been
that scores of Liberals, who had grown
weary of broken pledges, recorded
their votes for the Conservative candi-
date. Dr. Chisholm's personal popu-
larity was also a strong factor in the
contest,
East Wawanosh voters evidently
resented being driven, Iike chattels,
from one riding to another to streng-
then a candidate who had Iost his grip
on the electorate, and their answer
was a reduction of the Liberal majori-
ty from 73 to 33. In Turnberry a. mi-
nority of 43 was turned into a majori-
ty of 51. Morris reduced its Liberal
majority from 40 to 15 ; Brussels
brought its adverse majority down
from 43 to 11; Wroxeter followed also
by dropping to 15. Grey, so long the
stronghold of Liberalism, showed that
it also was getting "tired" and from
191 majority dropped to 162. Howick
touched a high figure at 217. In that
township Dr. Chisholm had a majority
in every sub -division, something new
for Howick, although it always does
well. The Town of Wingham touched
top-notch figures by giving Dr. Chis-
holm a majority in every ward, and
rolling up the biggest Conservative
majority ever polled in town -128.
Great interest was manifested in
the returns. The Conservatives re-
ceived them in the Town Hall, which
was crowded to the doors. The Lib-
erals adopted the plan of throwing
them on a. 'white sheet by means of a
lime -light from it window in the Mac-
donald block. Here the street was
lined with hundreds. In the intervals
between receipt of the returns, views
were presented to the spectators,
which interested them in moments of
waiting.
As soon as it was ktsown that Dr.
Chisholm's election was assured, a
celebration of the event 'was decided
on. A mammoth procession was
formed, headed by the Citiuens' Band,
followed by scores of young men with
blazing brooms. In a rubber -tired
buggy, drawn by willing hands, sat
the successful candidate, Dr. Chis-
holm. Then followed along proces-
sion the full Width of the street 13e-
fore the procession broke up, Dr.
Chisholm addressed the immense
erawd that blocked the street at the
Town Hell. Hie remarks could
scarcely be heard for the din of horns'
and cheers. Never did %Ingham pre-
sent such a night scene of rejoicing.
By the 10.38 p. nt. train a large con-
tingent (about 150) arrived from How -
ick, and the celebr-:tion of -the victory
began again, continuing until the
cagy rooming hours.
Ott. 'i'tzoalay, word was received
from 13rtteeel* that supporters of Dr.
Chisholm front that town and the
township of Grey thought of conning
to "i' `inghan. that day to celebrate the
victory*. It twee however decided that

BOGUS BALLOT BOXES.
Belleville, Nov. 3rd.—The charge is
made by Mr. Porter, the Conservative
candidate for West Hastings, that five
bogus ballot boxes had been found in
the possession of P. H, Lott, brother
of B. Q. Lott, Liberal candidate for
West Hastings.
The Intelligencer, Sir Mackenzie
Bowell's paper, came out with an
extra, which in part read as follows:
"It came to the knowledge of the
leaders of the Conservative party in
this province some three weeks ago
that a, desperate effort was to be made
by the Ross "machine" to steal this
province for Laurier by means of
bogus ballot boxes made in the Unit-
ed States and smuggled into Canada.
We use the word "smuggled" advised-
ly, because the .Hon. Mr. Fielding,
minister of finance, had thru a strange
oversight neglected to place bogus bal-
lot boxes on the free list. Four hund-
red of these bogus ballot boxes were
brought into Ontario. Thirteen of
these ballot boxes were brought into
the west riding of Hastings, and this
morning at 3 o'clock five of thein were
captured by a detective and placed in
the possession of the authorities of
Belleville, They are naw at the police
station, and were to -day examined by
hundreds of people. Perheps a de-
scription of the modes operandi will
be of interest to our readers. The
box, of course, is of zine, resembling
in appearance the ordinary ballot box
used at Dominion elections. It has a
false side, which is worked by means
of the wire handle on top of the box,
As voters know, the ballot when
marked and folded by the voter, is
placed in the box thru a round hole
on one end of the top, The handle of
the box is fastened to the false side of
the box, so that when the handle lies
flat to the right any ballot inserted
goes to its proper place in the bottom
of the box. When the handle is turn-
ed to +he left the ballots inserted go
into the false receptacle. The modus
operandi, bad the trick worked, was to
have double ballots inserted by some
of the "faithful" so that when the bal-
lots were closed at night the right
number would be found. Then when
the deputy rettuning officer took the
box home, preparatory to sending it
to the returning officer at headquart-
ers, he would put the ballots into the
genuine box supplied by the authori-
ties and no one except those in the
tits ret would be any the wiser. This
wee the schemer. But It failed,

States Government building at the

».
--The Clinton News -Record says of
B. B. Grum, the Conservative member
for South Huron :—"Tie is a successful
business man and stands high in the
esteem of the community in which he
Las dwelt for several years. As a
member of the County Council he has
done splendid woz'k and. is recognized
as one of the most useful members of
that body,"
• *
--The Laurier Government has been
sustained by an increased majority.
For another parliamentary terra,
French rule will continue, and Quebec
influence dominate. Judging by the
past record of the Government's brok-
en pledges, we need not look for econo-
my or fulfillment of promises. The
Grand Trunk Pacific will no doubt be
built, and liabilities incurred under
which the country will be burdened
with increased debt and interest for
the next generation.

—Regarding West Huron's new rep-
resentative, the Goderich Star says t—
"Mr, E. N. Lewis has been a success
in whatever he has undertaken. As
deputy to his father, the late Ira
Lewis, he performed the duties of
Clerk of the Peace in a perfectly satis-
factory manner. As chief magistrate
of Goderich it is conceded by those
who first opposed him that he is the
best mayor that town has ever had.
During his tenure of office the place
has taken on a new lease of life,"
