James Bowman Elected In
East Huron By 198.
As the campaign progressed, it was
evident that the electoral tide was
running in favor of the Conservative
candidate, though perhaps few ex-
pected that the majority would be so
large. The result indicates that many
s Liberals took little. heed of the so-
called arguments presented in favor
of Reciprocity, but quietly cast their
votes against the --

returne all in, East Huron totalled 197
for the Conservative candidate.
At 0 p.m. a procession was formed,
headed by the Band, and flaming
torches, to meet Mr. Bowman and a
large number of bis supporters from
Brussels, at the 0.16 train. A carriage
was secured and the successful can-
didate was drawn to the Town hall
by g young stron oun g men, In front of
Town Hall, Mr. Bowrnan made a neat
address, thanking the workers and
voters for their support, and the
townspeople for the splendid reception
accorded him.
An inntnense audience had gathered
In the Opera Hall .listening to the
returns as announced by Dudley
Holmes, A. H. Musgrove at Chair-

for East Huron, and he was received
with deafening Cheer*. Brief addree•
sea were then given by Mr. Bowman
and many of the workers. Wingham
Citizens Band struck up "The Maple
Leaf Forever," and the audience burst
out Into song. The effect Will not
soon be forgotten.

SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
-East Huron, 198.
* *
-It was a famoue victory,
-1-Did you hear anything drop ?
* 4*
-Something happened on the 21st.
« *r
-Very few expected so decisive a
victory.
* « *
-The "white plume" failed to lead
to victory.
* 4*
-A new leader, but the old policy
and (though some may jeer) the old
flag still.
« « „
-SIr Wilfrid's advice was "bet your
money on the old cock." Those who
did, Iost their cash.
« « «
-"At the parting of the ways" Ca-
nada chose the safe, well -beaten path,
that bas so far led her to prosperity..
« « *
-The three Hurons in line with
good government. We could not ask
for more. Good old Huron county
had no more to give us,
• « «
-North and South Bruce, North
and South Waterloo ; North, South
and East Grey ; East, West and
South Huron ; all in line.
* « *
-When Parliament was dissolved,
Laurier Government had a majority
of 43, including the speaker. Mr.
Borden's majority will be about 53.
« « •
-Now we write it, James Bowman,
M. P. ; Arch. Hislop, h. b. For the
sake of the uninitiated, we may say
that h.b. stands for "has been."
« « *
-Considering the, strenuous nature
of the campaign, it was well and fair-
ly fought. The Wingham ne*spapers
wisely avoided personalities and con-
ducted a clean campaign. And why
not?
« « «
-We are strongly inclined to be-
lieve that Wingham is slightly tinc-
tured with Conservative ideas. 122
majority for this town is very good ;
satisfactory, considering the election
was on an old list.
« « «
-The Globe says that it was the
loyalty cry, and the interests that
did it. Loyalty is at the foundation
of a nation's stability, andb"the inter-
ests" the Globe speaks of are the back-
bone of our industrial and business
life.

Rev. 0, M. Rutherford presiding,
Rev. Mr. McLennan of Toronto was
asked to sit as a corresponding mem.
bet. Rev, Mr. Bremner, Convener of
Augmentation, reported that only
one oharge required assistance and
that it was hoped that It would not
require it very long. It was recom-
mended that ministers present the
claims of Augmentation before their
congregations, urging greater liber-
ality.
The Clerk presented a call from
Port Dalhousie in favor of Rev. D.
Tait, offering $900 stipend with use
of manse and four weeks' vacation.
Rev. Mr. Perrie was appointed to
prosecute the call and give reasons for
the translation, and Messrs. McKague,
Little, McArthur and Clark of Tees -
water, represented the claims of
Teeswater, and with many of the
members of Presbytery, spoke in
highest terms of the work done by
Mr. Tait, and regretted his proposed
departure.
Mr. Tait signified his intention to
accept the call and the translation
was agreed to, Mr. Petrie being ap-
pointed as interim Moderator and to
declare the pulpit vacant on October
1st. The Session records of Wing-
barn, Kinloss, Molesworth and Luck -
now were examined, and found to be
correctly and carefully kept.
The Commissioners to the assembly
reported as to their diligence. Mr.
Duncan and Mr. Matheson were ap-
pointed members on the Executive of
Y. P. S.
Rev. J. A. Ferguson was appointed
Moderator for next six months. Rev.
+Messrs. Hardie and McLean were
appointed a committee on Aged and
Infirm ministers fund.

ney, having been examined, were
certified to Montreal college as

'The Clerk reported that Rev. Mr.
Walker .of Toronto had declined the
call to Dungannon.
Mr. Duncan stated that he had
moderated in a call to Mr. R. M. Mc-
Eaehern, by the Dungannon charge,
but than Mr. McEachern had asked

in the evening.
The Clerk presented the, statistical
report in printed form, to be distribut-
ed among the families of the congrega-
tion of the Presbytery. The report
shows that the average giving per
family in the Presbytery to stipend
of ministers is $2 50 less than the
average of the whole church, and the
average giviogs to the schemes of the
church is $1.60 more per family than
the whole church. The average
stipend in the Presbytery of Maitland
is $112 less thanl;that of the whole
synod and $214 less than the average
of the whole church, which is $1143,
notwithstanding the fact that this is
one of the wealthiest Presbyteries of
the church.
W. J. West,
Clerk of Presbytery.
Gold Fish Free.
The offer of J. Walton McKibbon in
another column should not be over-
looked, for such an opportunity may
not occur again. On Friday morn-
ing, to every purchaser of a box of
Rexall Liver Pills, Mr. McKibbon will
give an aquarium of real gold flsh, in
a globe all ready to carry home. As
there are only a limited number of

celebrated their three -fold victory.
with a procession and monster mass

from the East, Merner from the
South, and Lewis from the West,
were all present. and were given a
hearty reception. The crowd was so
great that the meeting had to be held

given by all the candidates and other
local Conservatives,

note that more farmers write letters
on printed letterheads and have their
