On Friday evening next, the 17th inst., Hoe. Alesers. Mowat, I Pardee, Hardy and YouneWill address the elec- tors of East Huron at Brussels., This is a strong team, and ?their visit to Brus- sels will afford the electors ,of East Huron a rare opportunity of hearing -the public affairs of the Province thdroughly and dispassionately discussed. i The Reform. Candidate for South Huron. 1 I . As will be seen by the announcement in another column Mr. Bishop, the Re- form candidate for South Hurati, opens the campaign on Monday evenihg next at Brucefield. We are glad to learn that siace his nomination by the corivention Mr. Bishop has received the most en"-; eouraging assurances of support from all " I parts of the Riding. This is net to be wondered at. He is a`_ pod man; and. he is a steady and intelligent suppOrter of - one of the best and most honest 'govern - meats that has -ever Axisted in Canada. _ The only objeetian that is, or lean be a urged to Mr. Bishop, is that he ',has re- presented the constitiahney for So long &times But, instead .of this being an abjection to him it sheathd be his Ihighest recommendation. Anf. man whoi can for thirteen years represent an intelligent dOnStituency such as South. Huron?! in Par- _ .: Iiament, and who, during that tie, has anceessfuly defeated the very best and strangest men the Conserrativi party could bring against him, is et'ktainly well deserviag of the centin4c1 coni fidence and support of _tire peel* Al- , though tlr. Bishop makes ne pretensions to oratory he is able to express himself intelligently and his long Municiital and , parliamentarylexperience makes him one of the 1110St :useful Men in the House. He knows -the equiremeats ois con- stitnenhts and has never- beer back- eif k ward in advocating their cause.! That he will be again re-eldeted her? is not , the least doubt. The only thilig that can accomplish his &teat i over-conii: 1 dence on the part of Refot mere. We ! , 1 caution our friends against Ms.! They ; must work as hard and as arnestly as if the resalt was really doubtful. If t. - they wilt do this we can guarrintee them the tar:gest majority they ever had in South Huron. The Conservative Candidate for South Huron. Our Conservative friends in: South Ithron have evideatly exper .enced con- siderable difficulty in securi a a,candi- date for the Local Legislator his is not to be wondered at u v ew Id the honest and economical mann r in which the affairs of the Province have been managed by the pres-eat Govel-nment during the past fourteen yea s: and the . very contracted platform -hiele their o-wa party leaders have giv n them to ttand upon. Indeed the wonder is that any persons can be f and either in South Huron stay els wh re to sacrifice thernseIvee ;iri s hopeless a cause. At their t cone ntion last Week the Conservatives non Mated Mr. George Case, Mr. Georg Jackson, Mr, Henry Eilber, Dr. Roll ns, and we do not know how many others, but all declined the. preferred -honor. They then unanimously nominate Dr. Cole- man., of Seaforth. The Doc or was not at the Convention, or possibl he might have dedined the nonlin• tion also. However this may he, a dep tatiou was abated to wait upon the Doctor and. confer with him on the 'subject, and ac- cordingly on Monday last about thirty gentlemen front varithis parts of the Riding called upon hire.- at his residence in Sea -forth. it is- well known that in his political views the Doctor is an In- dependent, -with probably a leaning to- wards the Conservative side, and it is said that in the conference, 'which en - *zed the deputation fond that his views were too independent to suit their ideas of what a Conservative candidate should be ; consequently, the Doctor de- clined the nosniaation tendcsed him by the convention. If it is true, as etatsed, that the Doctor refneed the nom nation rather than modify his views t meet those of the delegation, it iS co ieider- e ably to his credit. Failing to rrange with Dr. Coleman, the delegatio tele- graphed to Mr. eter, offering th he replied accep not one of the n i tion, aid wheth the not iinee of t nomin e of thi say. That is a ties mist arra At an rate, w is now he cand interes in-oppo Reforn candida Pars nelly, far as we kn honoralsle man, outside!. of Ex vicinity, and that k; ; has a for th , positio he is a Conser sect aid it is 0 ra.n ge 1 man. and i a temperance advocate, althou h he has never, to our knoleldge , identified hinn,elf prominently' v, ith either of these 1st named causes. , But the sin ple fact f his being an Orange-. man aid at -le t a professed temper- ance in 0,' will ain him favor with the Mail w ng of the! party.

At the time Sir achard was nominated by the Reform- rs of South Huron I had not "been announced that he int nded to run, in outh Oxford," and if s ch were his in- ention it was not lin wn to any Re- ormer in this riding.

Exeosinon,-I believe the -1, ' tn which Ithe Temperance Alliance has ; .opted Of fornriug Electoral Unions is the speediest means of bringing about Prohibition'for, if it is known that a te, eeedly number in each Riding of both political pattiet have pledged themselves to support la prohibition candidate or none, then the candidate will easily see that unless he pledges himself to sup- port Prohibition- in the House his chalices of winning the election will be small. We believe Electoral Unions hate been formed in nearly all the places in the Riding where it has been atteinpted, and in some small village:a there is a membership of dearly fifty, consisting of those of both political par- tiea. Some prohibitionists are a little reltictant in signing the pledge, as they th ink it will interfere with their priv- ileges, but, the pledge simply asks a man not to vete for an anti -prohibition - ist,1f' r‘ and if he is a stannch prohibitionist be von't do it any wore than a staunch Reormerwill for a Cihisertative candidate, or a staunch Conserva- tive vote for a Reform candidate, con- sidering the men equally good. So what pritilege will he be denied by sign* the pledge? In reality the staunch pro- hibitiometais already pledged in princi- ple, for, hew can he be a good prohibi- tionist and then vote for an anti -prohibi- tionist to go to Parliament to legislate in direct opposition to his belief, his principles, and his wishes.
