West Huron Protest
The legal columns of the Toronto
dailies contained this item on Monday:
Re West Huron Election Petition.—
Joseph Bell, .the petitioner, has filed
"Isis application to withdraw his peti-
tion. on the ground of not having suf-
ficient evidence.
Clastification of Members
In Mr. Marter's London address he
claimed that the Liberals, not having
•a majority of the House, should resign
.and allow the Conservatives, to form a
government, his assumption being
that all who were not classified as
straight Liberals, were opposed to Me
Mowat. 1'n his address on Monday
might, at London; Hon. G. W. Ross
thus referred to Mr Marter's classi-
$cation:—
"The Liberals have 47 members, we
have 28 members," Mr Marter says;
"Patrons 17, and there are three Inde-
pendents. As a matter of fact there
are only two Independents. There
are only 94 members, not 96 as stated
by Mr Marter. Ifwe have not the
majority, who has? We have 47, he
has 28—that is, if he carries London,
and there is no chance of '.hat. We
cannot resign to Mr Marter; he has
only 28. We cannot resign to the Pat-
rons; they have only 17. Can we re-
sign to the Independents? They have
only 2. We are in that most embar-
rassing .position. There is nobody to
take the government of the country off
our hands. We cannot throw it away.
We are sworn to administer it until
-somebodycomes who has. the majority
of tis? constituencies, as a matter of
duty. • No matter how much disinclin-
ed we might be, we are obliged to carry
on the government of the country a
little longer, and we are going to carry
it on till theend of the present term,
Mr Marter to the cOistrary notwith-
standing."
Ontario's Finances.
In an address delivered at London
last week, Mr Marter asserted that the
surplus which the Ontario Government
claims, is a myth, and he offered that
Mr Essery should withdraw from the
London contest, if it could be proven
that the surplus did exist. At a meet-
ing held in the interest of Mr Hobbs,
an Monday evening, - Hon. J. Dryden
referred to the matter, as follows:—
"Mr Marter says the facts are not as
stated by us; I say the facts are exact-
ly as they are stated by us. He says if
-theroa is any surplus he will ask Mr
Essen? to resign and my friend Mr
Hobbs will be elected by acclamation.
1 am going to demand that that be car-
ried out. Producing the Provincial
Treasurer's report,Mr Dryden went on
to show that there was a surplus of
over $6.000,000. It consisted of deben-
tures, moneys held by the Dominion
Government, upon which interest is
annually paid to the Province, and
bank balances held in the banks at 'the
time the treasurer makes up his re-
port. Mr Dryden ridiculed Mr Mar-
ter's method of arguing that a govern-
-anent was bankrupt because it had not
enough cash on hand to meet liabilities
falling due 25 or 30 years hence. By
the same reason he would prove every
man a bankrupt. Mr Marter forgot
that, like a business concern, the Gov-
ernment depended on moneys accru-
ing from year to year to meet liabili-
ties falling due, and if the expenditures
of years to come was to be considered,
the income of those years should he
taken into account. "We not only
have a cash surplus," said Mr Dryden,
"but we have a cash surplus in reality
more than Sanfield Macdonald had be-
fore he left office."
The Suprenie Court has adjourned
its decision on the ase between Onta-
rio and the Domi n, as to which has
the power to
ibit; until l the 15th
of January. ''re
Prior to h 'Local elections, the
Patrons of Wes Huron nominated Mr
James Gaunt s a candidate for the
Dominion Par ament; since his refus-
al to suppo, A Connolly, there seems
to have be>Sn an impression that he
had also forfeited his right to the
nominati , though the two circum-
stances o not necessarily follow.
iowevel-, b convention has been called
for the 24th inst., to be held at Smith's
,Hill, when, the members say, a new
+candidate Will be chosen.

reallyt cryy of Huron met in
peas of the Conservative party' at the , C , on e,qnext election, and. grows day.
. the nth inst, The Finance eAmmittee
reported that a rate of ten cents per
family throughout the bounds would
be required for Presbytery and Synod
Expense Funds for the coming year.
Rev. E, Cockburn, of Paris, a repre-
sentative of the committee on aug.
mentation of stipends, addressed the
Presbytery upon the requirements of
the fund with the administration of
which they are charged, The Presby-
terY agreed to take the necessary steps
to secure the amount expected in sup-
port of that fund, from th'e congrega-
tions under their jurisdiction, viz.,
$700. It was reported that the sum of
$2,150 would be expected from the
same congregations in aid of the Home
Mission Fund. Rev. John Roos, of
Brussels, representing the Presbytery
of Maitland, asked the co-operation of
the Presbytery of Huron in the re-
arrangement of a portion of the field
contiguous to both Presbyteries. A
committee was appointed to consider
the matter, and to report at the next
regular meeting. It was greed to
hold the next meetingin Hensall on
the third Tuesday of January, 1895,
and the Sabbath School committee was
instructed to arrange for a conference
on Sabbath Schools at the same place,on
the preceding afternoon and evening.
Next Tuesday the electors of London
will choose a representativeto succeed
Chief Justice Meredith. Both sides
are putting forth strenuous efforts to
win. A victory for the Liberals, in
this contest means more .than under
ordinary circumstances, owing to the
standing of membersin the new house,
and if they succeed, will ' accomplish
what has 'never been done in London
for the last 22 years. It is only guess-
work to prophecy haw the election
will result, as the ballots alone can
decide.
Political.
Dr Montane, M.P., is improved in
health and able to be on the street.
Lient,-Governor Chapleau, of Quebec,
completed his 54th year of life on Friday.
Mr Wm. Rae, of Puslinch, is the nomi-
nee of the Patrons of South Wellington for
the Commons.
The petition against G. F. Marter, M.P.
P., for North Toronto will be withdrawn,
as will also that of W. M. German, mem-
ber for Welland.
The Lnoknow Sentinel says that Mr. H.
Morrison, of that village, will be the Con-
servative candidate for West Bruce at the
coming election.
The Patrons of Centre Wellington have
nominated Mr W. L. Gordon for the Com-
mons. There are now three candidates in
the field for that riding—Mr Semple, Lib-
eral, and Dr Groves, McCarthyite.
President Lyon, of the Toronto Ycung
Liberals' Association, is arranging for a
Provincial Convention which is intended
to prepare the basis for a federation of the
various associations of a like nature through-
out Ontario.
Sir Jobn Thompson thinks it is a wise
and patriotic thing to give Mr Huddart a
bonus of $750,000 a year of the taxpayers'
money to establish a fast line of steamers,
but when he goes to England he does not
think enough of 'encouraging' Canadian en•
terprise to travel by- a Canadian line.
That'e protectionist consistency.—Toronto
News.
At his Otterville meeting, alluding to hie
personal relations with the constituency,
Sir Richard Cartwright expressed his gra-
titude to the Liberals of South Oxford for
the sacrifices they have made in the inter-
est of their party, and said that if they de
sired to select a good Reformer from
amongst themselves, he would have not one
word to say in protest.
Eleven of the 31 election petitions filed
have now been asked to be withdrawn.
The petitions which now 'remain are:—
Monok, South Renfrew, North and South
Perth, Halton, West York, West Welling-
ton, North Ontario, North Wentworth, Lin-
coln, East Northumberland, West Algoma,
Parry Sound, Addington, South Huron,
West Northumberland, West Durham,
Haldimand, North Lanark and Kingston.
The Toronto Telegram (Conservatitive)
has received information that Mr Savage,
who was elected as M.P.P. for West Algo-
ma by a majority of seven votes at the gen-
eral election in June, is about to remove
from Rat Portage to Winnipeg, where he
will in future reside. The news is authen-
tic. The election of lir Savage is protest-
ed, and the Telegram which is not preju-
diced in favor of Mr Conmee, believes he
will get his Beat without a contest.
There is no use hiding the fact that Ptho
citizens of London were greatly disappoint-
ed over Mr Marter's speech. It has done
nothing to stimulate the campaign, and his
failure to enunciate a policy on any one
point -was a great mistake on bis part.
Mayor's Essery's chances of election are
far from bright at present. Mr Marter
could have helped him considerable by a
strong declaration on the school question.
Unless the full ultra -Protestant vote is
polled the Liberals will triumph, and that
vote will not come out in its strength un-
less it is stimulated in someway --Toronto
News.'
A representative of the Patron grand
board made this important statement to a •
Toronto correspondent, which for the first
time makes public the official view of an
interesting political phase of the P. of I.
movement. He said the Ontario Con-
servatives are very anxious for ns to unite
with them to secure the defeat of the On-
tario Government, and the formation of a
coalition government. The Petrone will
not" take part in a coalition government,
neither here nor at Ottawa. Should we
unite with the provincial Conservatives it
would be fatal to our interests in the Dom-
inion elections. The Patrons, however,
have never said that they would not accept
office! But we are not seeking it.
The Brussels Post speaks as follows
about the East Huron Conservative can-
didate:—As to Mr Dickinson's ability as a
lawyer there is no doubt, but where so
many candidates went before the Conven-
tion and in a riding reported to be so 'safe'
for a Conservative candidate, it is a little
remarkable that well known gentlemen
such as Reeve Mooney, ex -Reeve -Bryan,
B. Gerry, W. Clegg, Jas. Perkins and
others could not be induced to accept of a
certainty—which would have bad Mr Dick-
inson's hearty approval. When the Gode-
rich Star speaks of Mr M3Donald's ability
as a public speaker in the slighting man-
ner it does, it displays ignorance, as
can be easily proven by the estimate Mr
Dickinson has of the East Huron M. P.
We don't expect the Conservative press to
give many bouquets to Mr McDonald but
they should at lomat be fair if they can't be
generous,
WEDDINGS. — The residence ,of Mr
John Joy was the happy scene of a
joyous wedding on Wednesday even-
ing, when his eldest daughter, Minnie,
was married to Mr James Castles, by
Rev J. W. Holmes. Miss Etta Agnew
and Mr Amos Castles acted as brides-
maid and groomsman respectively.
The bride was the recipient of a num-
ber of beautiful presents. Mr Castles,
though a `Clintonian, has resided in
Ontario, Cal., and, with his bride, ex-
pects to start for there next Monday.
Invitations are out for the wedding of
Mr Will Harland, jr. and Miss Hattie
Read, daughter of Itirs Read, Huron
street, which event takes place on the
afternoon of the 22nd. Both are popu-
lar young Olintoniane, who will reside
here after the important event.
CHANCERY SITTINGS.
The sittings of the Chancery Division
of the High Court of Justice was held
in the court houseGoderich, on Monday,
the 12th inst., before the Honorable
Mr Justice McMahon.
The first case on the list was Ratz v.
Hall, an action by the plff. on a mort-
gage. The case was referred to the
Master for administration and for en-
quiry and report.
The next case was that of Fanson v.
Fanson, which is an action brought
against the deft. to recover monies
said to be in his hands belonging to
the estate of the pltf's father. Referr ed
to the Master to enquire and report.
Sample v. Sample was the next case
on the list, and is an action brought by
the plff. to have it declared that they
are entitled to a lien on deft's lands for
money paid by plff. for deft. Referred
to the Master.
Howe v. Roneld was an interpleader
action brought to try the ownership of
certain goods seized by the sheriff
under an executive, deft, declaring the
goods are not the goods of the claimant
and therefore liable to be sold under
the execution.
Items of Interest.
NOT EXACTLY LOCAL, BUT MAY BE
REGARDED A6 SUCH.
Everybody wants to know what ie going
on around town. It is a popular idea that
the newspaper man is here, there and
everywhere at the same time. We travel
around a good deal, but there are many
little items of interest that we miss. You
all hive friends doming and going at some
time or other, and your friends about town
would be interested in the news. When-
ever yon have friends visiting, or if any-
thing out of the ordinary happens, just
send as a note of it or drop into the office
and let no know. These little items would
be of interest to friends and also brighten
the paper.
Hotel -keepers are warned to be on the
lookout for a pair of sharpers. Two men,
arriving separately and apparently unac-
quainted, take a room on the same floor of
the.. hotel. , One lea ..aiarge. trunk,_the.
other a smaller. At the first chance, when
no one is about, the Smaller one is put in-
side the larger. `The owner of the former
then declares his .loss, declaring that the
property nae been stolen, and ofter leaves
the house with a substantial sum in his
pocket as a compensation for the vanished
trunk.
SETTLING TIME APPROACHES.—With the
rapidly approaching close of the year comes
settling time with business men. Custom-
ers should make it a point to square up
and start the year even with the world, if
possible. It may be but a small sum you
owe; but thre are doubtless scores of other
small sums ue the merchant and mechanic
and their a gregate is a large sum. Pay
up your part, and help to keep all of the
wheels of business moving. Where ac-
counts are run between individuals they
should be rendered every year at least, and
a balance atruok. Satoh a course, would
save many perplexing troubles when estates
fall into the hands of the executors. This
is a big step towards settlement that can
be done without mach money.
ONTARIO TOBACCO ACT,—Any person who
directly or indireoty sells or gives or fur-
nishes to a minor, under eighteen years of
age," cigarettes, cigars, or tobacco, in any
form, shall, on summary conviction thereof,
before a justice of the peace, be subject to
a penalty of not lees than ten dollars, or
more than fifty dollars without cost of
prosecution, or to imprisonment with or
without hard labor for any term not ex-
ceeding thirty days.
CATTLE ON THE ROAD.—Chief Justice
Armour made a Statement at Kingston last
week that should be brought to the atten-
tion of every man in the Province who owns
live stock. The statement was regarding
the responsibility of such owners for dam-
ages caused by animals owned by them and
was made in connection with a case before
the court. A man who had been thrown
from a baggy as a result of a collision with
a cow on a rural highway, brought action
to recover damages against the -township,
plaintiff was nonsuited, the judge holding
that the municipality was not liable but
the owner of the cow was. Then his Lord-
ship referred to the fact that a freight
train had been derailed and three men
killed in Northumberland County owing to
a stray cow getting on the track and said
that the owner of the animal in that case
could be heldlanswerable to the estates of
the men killed. Farmers had better, in
view of this declaration, keep their cattle
at home. A stray animal may at any time
be the cause of a damage action that will
take away the owner's farm.

was made on the result of the recent elec-

two citizens of Binghamton. The wager
was of $100 to one Dent, that Morton would
defeat Hill, with this proviso, that for
every vote that Morton received in excess
of Hill, the Democrat would pay one cent
to the Republican. Thus if Morton were
elected by 10,000 plurality, the loser would
pay 8100, but as Morton's plurality is now
over 150,000, 000 the Democrat c t stands to lose
over $1,500. The $100 and the cent were
'put up' and the winner insists upon exact-
ing the full conditions of the wager.

Cable advices from London, Monday, wore
weaker, and noted a decline of fully 1}c per lb
since last Monday, owing to heavy supplies and
a weak demand. The season is fast drawing to
a close, and the indications are at present that
it is going to wind up bad and unprofitable to
shippers. Thorn wore about 350 head of butch-
ers cattle, 40 calves and 1200 sheep and lambs
offered at the east end abattoir. The butchers
were present in considerable numbers, but
seemed indifferent about buying the kind of
cattle offered, there being no really good beeves
on the market, and some of the best butchers
would have paid 4c per lb for prime beeves
rather than take the middling stock, for which
3kc per lb was paid in some cases. Pretty good
beeves brought higher prices than on lastweek's
markets, or from 3 to 31c per lb; common cows
and rough half fatted steers wore very dull of
sale, and the prices continue low, or from 2t to
Sic per lb, while some of the leaner old cows
would scarcely bring 2c per Ib.
TORONTO LITE STOCK MARKET
The Globe, of Saturday, contains the follow-
ing disheartening report:—"Stockers and breed-
ers.—This lino was demoralized to -day. In
spite of the warning given in last market re-
port that the distillery buyers were full and that
there was merely a slight demand from far-
mers, a lot of stuff was rushed in to -day, and
the result was that a good deal of it had to be
sacrificed or not sold at all. Drovers were
dropping money right along instead of mak-
ing any gain, they preferring to get rid of
their holdings rather than to be at the ex-
pense of feed and perhaps eventually
get no higher prices. Mr T, N. McLean, of
Luckcow, and Mr I. Hearn, of Clinton, were
out several dollars on their transactions, as
canbejudged from some of the sample sales
given therewith. Although one or two picked
feeders went to the vicinity. of 3c per Ib, the
highest average figure was 21c per lb. Common
to medium stockers sold at from 2o to2;c per lb.
Some poor bulls went as low as 110 per Ib.
Sales:—Ten cattle, 1,120 lbs average 2,10 per lb;
_two steers, 2,200 lbs weight, No per lo; one steer
900 lbs weight, 2 0 or ib; two bulls, 2400 lbs
weight. $26 for the two; one car load bulls, 1,260
lbs average, lie per lb; 30 cattle, 1,025 lbs aver-
age, 244c por lb; one car -load choice cattle, 1,025
lbs average, $23 eseb; one car -load cattle, 1,157
lbs averse, 21c per Ib; one bunch choice stock-
ers, 1060 lbs average, 3o per Ib; eight extra fine
cattle, 1,090 lbs average, 3c per lb; seven picked
cattle, 1,100 1bs average, 82.80 per ewt. Quito a
few deas were made at 2c per lb, drovers losing
on an average is per Ib.
