In 1887 Dr. McDonald polled 2 088
votes; in 1891 he polled 2,037 or 51 lees
than in 1887. In 1887 Mr. Farrow
polled 2,027 votes ; In 1891 Dr. Holmes
polled 1,729 or 298 lees than Mr. Farrow
did four years age. The total vote
polled in 1887 was 4,115: in 1:91 only
3,766 or 349 lees. It is quite evident
that to the apathy of Conservatives in
East Huron is attributable the majority
of Dr. McDonald,
Tuckersneith.
The was a party at Frank Crich's
Tuesday when a valuable present
was made to Miss Ilannah E. Chrich
on the eve of her becoming Mrs.
Isaac Modeland. The happy couple
aro to be married to -day, Wednes-
day, and will leave for Victoria, B.
C. Friday.
It will be seen by the above thst the
total vote polled in West Huron in 1891
was 4,019 as against 4,297'polled in 1887,
that to 278 leas than tour years ago. Mr.
Cameron reoeived 2,135 votes in 1887 as
against 2,199 in 1891, 64 more. Mr.
Porter polled 2,162 in 1887 as against
1,820 in 1891. or 342 less. In West
Huron, as in Etat Huron, it was the un -
polled Conservative vote that oeueed the
Reform candidates to have their majori-
ties. The unpolled votes and the omitted
names that should have heeu on the lists
will show a considerable Conservative
majority in both ridings. In Nest
Huron there were 5,714 natnes nn the
ist, of 1887 ; in 1891 there were 5,740.
To the Elector, of the East Riding of Hnron
1ENTLEMEN—To those of you who eupp irted
mo during the recent contest I desire to return
my hearty thanks and to explain that coming late
into the field with a voters list by ne sadly

To tboeo of yon who opposed mo and through

Trade" ory allow me to repeat my argument dar-
ing the Campaign, viz: That Unrestricted Reci-
procity with the United States without tariff

that the Bishop of Huron should see

he thick, of enlisting the laity to do the
work that lies at his own door, The
clergymen are gentlemen that get a
pretty fair wage from the laity when in
existence, and after death their wives
and children are taken care of by a
fend ; and we think they are very well
paid for what they do. The great Paul
commanded Timothy to .be "instant in
season out of season," in other words
active and zealous for the glorious work
he had taken on himself to do. Do our
latter day presbyters come up to this
mark. They do not—"1 know thy

hot ; I would thou were cold or hot, so
because thou art lukewarm, and neither
hot nor cold I will spew thee ettt of
