A friend says the NEw ERA; is not in harmony with its party because it .advocates the abolition of the Senate Well, the party is wrong, that's all. It will some day come up to the NEw ERA's standard. Before a single by-election occurs let the votes' lists be reformed. Why should elections be held on a three- years- old list? Why should one man's name appear in half a dozen places in the list, and in several constituencies? Why should residents of United States be brought to Canada to vote? Abolish ;the anomalous and unjust A. It is pasing strange that the presum- ably ignorant French Canadian elect- ors can mark their ballots all right, and the Deputy Returning Officers in benighted Quebec can put the numbers and the initials in the proper places while in Hamilton and London alt sorts of blunders are made on election day, leaving the County Judge to solve a sort of Chinese puzzle on the re-count. The absurdity of the 'French domi- ation" cry is seen by a comparison of the standing of parties before and since the election. The Conservatives lost just one seat leas in Ontario than they did in Quebec. At dissolution, the Conservatives had 29 seats in Qv.ebec. Now they have 16, showing a net lose of 13 ridings in the general election. At dissolution the Conservatives had 56 seats in Ontario. Now they have 44 showing a net loss of 12 ridings on June 23. The Conservative loss in the rest of Canada was greater than in either Quebec or Ontario. The party made a net loss of 5 seats in Nova Scotia, 5 in NOW Brunswick, 3 in the North-West and 4 in British Columbial. And the party did not gain anywhere, except possibly one seat in Prince Edward Is- land, and that by an Independent Con- servative candidate. North Middlesex Recount. The returning officer having declared Mr Hutchins, Conservative, elected for North Middlesex by 8 of a majority, Mr Ratz demanded a recount; which came before .Judge Masson, at Gode- rich, on Saturday.. The reason it came before a Huron instead of a Middlesex judge, was because the applicant and returning officer were both residents of Huron. Judge Masson gave his de- cision on Monday afternoon. The chief question at issue was whether or not the ballots marked outside the disk in the new ballot should be counted. The deputy returning officers in North Middlesex did not count any ballots without the disk. When the recount was begun before the judge, Conserva- tive counsel argued that ballots mark- ed outside the disk should not be count- ed, though the Conservative counsel in the East York case had argued for, and had obtained,a decision which counted in Mr McLean, the high tax nominee, by the agency of ballots marked with- out the disk. Judge Masson very pro- perly followed Judge Macdougal's de- cision, and counted all ballots marked within the space opposite the name. This decision gave the seat to Mr V. Ratz by a majority of 63, and counts an additional majority of 2 on a division in the House. A 41;004011er. Sir ()harks Tupper Resigns VI1Urott rioted, Rev. L.

The faith of Moses, THE GOVERNOR - GENERAL REFUSED as seen in his life -work, is the subject the Montreal Witness eays:—That Mr Laurier is able, after the most ar- duous political campaign on record, to present so fresh an appearance is due, his friends say, to the fact that in all regards he is an abetemious man. In- stead of indulging a roystering triumph as was the fashion in poor Mercier's lime, he went straight to bed; and -while he has since the victory given a -business-like attention tothemattersin hand, the selection of his cabinet, and the starting of necessary machinery in .connection with the new administra- tion, he has kept himself cool and self - ,possessed.

Mr - !Laurier would quietly order a cup of %Cogee, which gave him the necessary stimulus and support. It is well known that Mr Laurier neither smokes nor drinks. Many incidents are relat- ed by those who shared the campaign with% him, of his steady refusal, no *natter how tired he was, to drink any- thing stronger than tea or coffee. There was one occasion when It was necessary to drive ten miles to the place of meeting in apelting rainstorm. The small party when they got to the • village hotel were drenched to the skin.

TO SANCTION ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED APPOINTMENTS. — THE PERSONNEL OF THE NEW CABINET NOT YET ANNOUNCED. (Globe of Thursday) "Sir Charles Tupper has tendered his resignation and his Excellency has been pleased to accept it and has com- municated with Mr Laurier." This was the official announcement authorized at Government house on Wednesday evening. So ends the re- gime which dates from the year 1878. Sir Charles Tupper went to Govern- ment Rouse at noon and returned to his office at 2.80, summoning Council to meet at 3. This was evidence that as yet no resignation had been tender- ed. Sir Charles informed his colleag- ues that he intended to resign at the conclusion of the sitting, which was reached at five o'clock. The Premier proceeded to Rideau Hall, and at seven o'clock the resignation had been ten- dered and accepted. The reason given by Sir Charles Tupper was that he had been defeated at the polls. Lord Ab- erdeen immediately accepted the re- signation, which of course involved that of the entire Cabinet, and from that minute the Tupper Ministry ceas- ed to exist. It began on May 1, which was for its members an unlucky Friday. His Excellency Immediately sum- moned Mr Laurier, who is to -day trust- ed with the task of forming a new ministry. There was a great deal of uncertainty all day as to the event. The Ministers themselves standin round waiting for Sir Charles Tupper's report. The uncertainty arose from his Excellency's refusal to sanction ordetsin Council passed since June 23rd and Sir Charles Tupper's insistence that they should be signed. Lord Ab- erdeen was firm, however, and adhered to what he considered proper constitu- tional principles. He was asked to sanction no fewer than about 400 orders in Council passed since June 23rd, and those, it is said, were presented in a heap. No wonder his Excellency 1 ecoiled from the proposal, and when Sir Chas. Tupper imagined he could intimidate Lord Aberdeen,as he endeavored to do, he found that he had to do with the Governor-General who had been brought up in a better school. His Ex- cellency discovered that he was called on to sanction the dismissal of civil ser• vante under the guise of superannua- tion in order to make room for parti- zans and election workere. The crea- tion of vacancies in order to fill them was so far beyond the most ordinary constitutional principles that only a Tupper would have attempted to do. Fortunately for the history of Cana- da, the occupant of Rideau Hall was found equal to the emergency, and the scandal was prevented. Of the 400 orders in Council it is doubtful if more than 50 have been signed by his Excel- lency. The guiding principles in a matter of this kind were laid down in an official paper by Lord Dufferin, and no doubt Lord Aberdeen was cognizant of this precedent. A BAD BALLOT. The new ballot, used in the recent election, has proved a most unsatisfac- tory one in a great many constituen- cies, and all sorts of objections are being raised against it. In several constit- uencies many electors have marked their cross immediately after the can- didates' name, ignoring entirely the white circle where the cross was inten- ded to be put, and this has already led to several receunts, the judges in some cases holding that ballots marked out- side the disc are good, while others hold that theymust be marked on the circle allowed for them. It seems to us that any ballot showing the intent of a voter, (without any other irregularly,) no matter where the cross is, should be regarded as a good ballot However, if the government decide on a new form of ballot, we have a suggestion to offer, and we don't want them to pay $1500 for it, as was done for the present ballot. Our ballot would be as fol- Iowe:— SMITH JONES for evening. The Willis and Ontario .street Sab- bath schools picniced at Goderich, on Tuesday, co the number of 500, and had a splendid outing. The scholars and friends of St.Paul's Sunday School picniced at Bayfield the same day. The brethren of the L. O. L. Sum- merhill have invited Rev. Bro. Stout. to preach a sermon to Orangemen at St Peters Church, Summerhill, on nd .j next, 12th inst. at 3 p. m. BretLren of the surrounding district are invited. It is expected that Capt. Ottaway, late of Clinton, and Capt. Baird will conduct the services of the Salvation Army on Saturday and Sunday next, and on the following Tuesday Brf a- dier Margetts, of London, and Ad u- tant Hunter, of Stratford, will hos a special open air demonstration. The service at the Rattenbury Street E. L. of C. E. Monday evening was very interesting. In addition to the Coneecration Service which was very impressive; a special reception ser- vice was conducted by the Pastor, Rev. R. Millyard and 15 new members united actively with the League which is one of the largest and best in the west. The Mitchell Recorder says :—Rev J. W. Holmes and his family arrived on Wednesday afternoon, and were met at the station by a number of the con- gregation of the Methodist church and escorted to the parsonage, where a re- ception awaited them. A well sup- plied table was spread in the dining room, and a goodly number sat about it and enjoyed the Bret supper with the new pastor and his family. Matters cannot be as serious between Rev. Geo. Buggin and the Methodist congregation at Wallaceburg as the re- port that he was locked out of the church the last Sunday of June would indicate. The Wallaceburg News says that he preached in the Methodist church the evening of that day and made a good impression on the congre- gation. The News also says there was no service in the morning, but does not assign any reason. The July meeting of the Clinton Y,, ring People's Local Union was held in Rattenbury St. Church last Friday evening. The attendance was not as large as its should have been, but the meeting was nevertheless interesting. "The Endeavorer in Society" and "The Endeavorer in the World" were the sub- jects of the addresses given by MrBaer of the B. Y. P. U. and -Mr A. J. McTav- ish of the Willie C. E. Society. Both were good addresses, that of Mr Mc- Tavish especially being fine. A eocial Intermission of 10 minutes was the means of making a number of stran- gers better acquainted. The next meeting wilt be held in October. We would have nothing whatever on it more than appears above; let the names be printed as close to the left side as possible, without any descrip- tfen such as "John Smith, of the town of Clinton, Gentleman,' leaving all the space possible whereon to mark the cross, and then count every ballot, no matter where the cross appears, so long as it is clearly within the space of either candidate. Further, we would make the ballots a fair size, let the government Printing Bureau supply them for every constituency, and print them on some form of colored paper. By this means there would be no possibility of anyone substituting another ballot for the legal one. Of course ballot stuffing would be possible, as it is now, but the only way to stop that, no matter what kind of ballot is used, is to jail every returning officer guilty of so doing. Previous to the eleotione a number of the men of the J. J. Taylor safe works, Toron• to, were working half-time. A few days thereafter they were notified that hence- forth they would be pet on full time.
