DOMINION. HOUSE PROB-
ABLY DISSOLVED.
ELECTION ON FEB. 15. 1887.
As hes beau predicted by the
Globe for some months the Domin•
ion douse of Parliament has been
dissolved so it is stated this week,
and the elections are announced for
Tuesday, February 15th. There
will be little over a month fur the
campaign, which will coneequently
be short and, we believe, decisive.
The publie questions of the day will
be discussed, the stewardship of tba
Government will come up for review
and the electors will be asked to en-
dorse what they have done. This'
we believe,in many instances, they
will not do and wo would not be
greatly surprised to see Hon. Ed-
ward Blake leading tho next Dom-
inion government. The electorate
of East Huron will be asked to de-
cide bet ,+eonDr. Macdonald and the
present member, Thos. Farrow, as
supporters of Hon. Edward Blake
and Sir John A. Macdonald, and,
wo believe, they will pronounce the
same verdict they did on December
28tH and elect the .Dr. by a rousing
majority. There appears to be a
regular tidal wave of elections. First
Province after Province, then the
Municipal and now the climax will
be put on in the Dominion elections.
Energetic work is expected in every
polling sub -division if tweeters is to
be attained. We have a strong
candidate who is well able to defend
his position, but his opponent is the
strongest man in tho riding and
eonsegnently the contest will be'n
warm one and will be puelicd with
great vigor.
