The Brussels Post, 1898-6-10, Page 44 THE BRUSSELS POST PLYMOUTH 1 Tine r)e $1:tsze1s Vat. rnFRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1898. Tun Clinton Newe•Record ns exercised over the East Riding of Huron and fol. lowing a will•o-tlha•wisp yarn spine the annexed editorial note :—"A petition is being signed by the Liberals in Last Huron requesting Mr, Hislop to retire from. the seat he lime hardly yet warned in favor of Hon. John Dryden, who was rejeoted in his own Biding of Ontario South. It is refreshing to know that the honorable gentleman's conscience has at last got to work and convinced him that a portfolio without a seat in the House is contrary to both precedent and the con- stitution. But Mr, Dryden, with all the prestige of a Minister of the Crown, will not take any risk, so has taken the pre- caution to contest a Grit hive. Canny Mr. Dryden, but what about East Huron ? Will it be honored in having se its repro• sentative the rejeoted of Ontario South As for Mr. Hislop, in peacefully resign- ing what he caballed for, has he scoured a cinch upon something of more material benefit ? TMs query is quite natural, no living Grit politician having been known to give up the substance for the shadow." The above is true excepting that a pati• tion has not been oiroulated ; that Mr, Hislop has not asked to retire ; and that Mr. Dryden has not asked for the seat. What our Conservative friends don't know about East Huron would fill a lib- rary. Morris Council Meeting.
