SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Dec. 16th, 1898
West Huron and Halton.
As we stated lent Week, the by-elections
for the ProVincial Legislature in West Hur-
on and Halton, took place on Thursday, and
resulted in the election of the Liberal candi-
dates, Hon. J. T. Garrow and Mr. John R.
Barber. These elections, however, do not
• puska any charge in the political complexion
of the Legislature, as both the successful
candidates on Thursday were elected last
March, Mr. Garrow resigning .his seat and
Mr. Barber having been unseated by the
election court. The candidates at both
elections were .the same, and in each
stance the successful candidates were
elected by increased majorities. In W
Huron there _was a short, but keen fig

tlook for the Government would not
y bright, while the prospects for the
ition would be correspondingly bright-
ened. Now, however, the Government are
safe for this PMliamentary, term. Out of
five by-elections they have won every one.
They have not only held their own, but
they have gained one seat. The swing
seems to be in favor of the Government, and
the electioneyet to be held will likely go
the same way as those which have already
taken place: The Government will hold
East Northumberland and Nipissing, and
• etand a good chance to win North Hastings
and WesteElgin. Besides these there is
North -Waterloo, West York, Sou h Perth
• and East Elgin, which are still b fore the
courts. The prospects are that tha sitting
• Members in West York and East Egin will
• be confirmed in their seats, the fo mer be-
• ing a Liberal and the latter a Cons rvetive.
In North Waterloo and South Pert , where
the' election judges have voided t e seats,
and where aa appeal has been take to the
higher courts in each case, the respects
are that the deciaions of the electio judges
will be sustained, and that new elections
will have to be held. In this event, the
Liberals will stand a good chance to redeem
• North Waterloo, and will certainly hold
South Perth. It need not surprise any per-
son, therefore, if, when the Legislature
meets next February, the Government wil
have a solid majority of at least fourteen
besides the Speaker. This is as large a ma-
jority as is good for them.
-Since the above was in type the East
Northumberland by-election has taken place,
and has resulted .in the election of Mr.
Douglas, Liberal, over Dr. Willoughby,
Conservative, by a large majority. Thus,
out of six by-elections thus far held, ever
one has gone in favor of the Government
