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 Both parties put forth their beet efforts, a the result can not but be satisfactory Liberals, not alone in West Huron, throughout the province. Mr. Beck, ho ever, from first to last, has made a go fight, and has proven himself ,a strong a popular candidate, and with a better ca would, no doubt, have made even a bet prefessio that the received ment. to convin is not de indulged parliarne vient," a pendent. authorit that the ing the g the road, and the the publ oharge a basis up larly as against unfair a the Sun whioh t granted s.

We oppo in', believe th D‘bminion has re' much in the way of aiding est can afford to do, arid that w nd to but w- od nd use ter record. In fact, we doubt if there is other man in West Huron who could ha polled so strong a vote against such an able and popular opponent. These two elections were looked upon, by both parties, to some extent as the pivotal • point in the history of the Government.

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 The next to be held are North Hastings and Nipissing, which take place on the 27th that, Unfair, Criticism.

The granting of the money without a dissenting vote places the responsibility on both political parties, but shows the corruption and -subserviency of our national legislature.
