T, Co all the credit, whereas at least half of the returns, and the earliest ones read by him in Victoria hall, were furnished by the C. P. R. It seems strange that a paper that is apparently in favor of the C. P. R. It. extension to Goderich should be doing its beet to disparage that institution on almost every avail- able occasion. Does the Star think that its action will hasten the Guelph and Goderich Junction Railway.

At the close of the polls here on Thursday, Dr. McDonald came out two over Dr. Holmes, the Conserva- tive candidate. This should not have been so, as this was always considered a Tory hole by the Grits. There must be something wrong somewhere, boys. Notwithstanding that tlae Grits carried the throe Hurons, it goes mighty tough with them to havo to come under the regime of the N.

Porter, siugle handed, made a brave fight against hordes of Grits, enuexetioniets, trai- tors and greenbacks, which swarm- ed iuto the riding like locusts in Egypt. Huwever,the loyalists fought at a disadvantage. The voters' lists were hot in proper shape. 'There was serious confusion ou the,lrade questions of reciprocity and 'unro- stricted reciprocity. They were very badly mixed. A hue and cry wee raised in every hell and along every conceeeion by a pack of hoodlums that the Government wal sure to be defeated and every 100 acres of land would be increased $2,000 in value next morning after the election. Every Tory in office new to be kick- ed out. But they got left in their calculations. It would now be in order to pear then back in their own coin, more especially the postmastere who not only turned renegades and worked day and night against their former friends and party, but mis laid papers which did not suit their views in connection with the elec- tions.
