From The Mail and Empire. That the Liberal oligarchy is play- ing against the people with loaded dice is made apparent from the legal tricks which are being resorted to to reject Conservative votes, Last Friday Sher- iff Mowat, returning officer for North Toronto, rejected the returns from three sub -divisions which would have swelled Mr. Master's majority, because a certain formality had not been com- plied with by some of the deputy re- turning otfcers. A despatch from Gode- rich, printed below, shows that Major Beck has been, for the time being, husked out of his seat for West Huron on a similar excuse. The law under which this abuse has been perpetrated is biased on two sec- tions of chap. 3, 55 Victoria, otherwise known as the Ontario Elections Act. Section 109 of this Act reads :- - At the close of the poll the deputy re- turning officer, on being requested so to do, shall deliver to each of the candi- dates on their agents, or in the absence of the candidates or agents, to the elec- tors present representing the candi- dates retpectively, a certificate of the number of votes given for each candi- date, and of the number of rejected ballot papers, and he shall also forth- with make nut the ballot paper account in the form required by section 112 of this Act. Section 112 of the Act is found to read:— The poll book shall contain a state- ment made by the deputy returning officer showing the number of ballot papers entrusted to hire, and account- ing for there under the heads of (1) counted, (2) rejected, (3) unused, (4) spoiled, (5) tendered ballot papers, (0) ballot papers given to voters who afterwards returned the sauce, declin- ing to vote, and (7) ballot papers taken from the palling place, which state. ment shall he in form 19 in the schedule hereto, and being form 12 in the poll - book, and is in this Act referred to as the "Ballot paper account," HOW IT IS DONE. In giving out the ballot boxes to the deputy returning officers the return- ing officer for an electoral riding places several looses copies of this form in the box to he given to the scrutineers, and also requires the deputy to send one in with the ballot box to aid him in counting the returns. An experienced deputy might easily re- gard these as a substitute for the form in the book, which is hidden in the back pages, and likely to escape notice. Then when the returning officer, who is always a partisan Grit official, discovers the omission, be is at liberty to reject the return if it is in favour of the Conservative candidate, or admit it if the return he favourable to the Government's man. Moreover, the deputies being partisan Grits as a general rule, he can send for any deputies who, have failed to fill out the poll -book form in such sub -divisions as are favourable the Grits, and have the form secretly filled out. But the opportunities for hurkrng the verdict of the electorate under these curious clauses do not end here. As has been said, the deputy return- ing officer's MT in many cases partisan Grits. A few of them instructed he- fotehaud can he sent into sub -divisions certain to poll Conservative majorities and deliberately neglect to fill out the aforementioned form, thus invalidat- ing the returns. That such conspira- cies have been successtully carried out in previous elections when the On- tario Government has been. sustained is known to all men familiar with the doings of the present Ministry. BOASTING OF THEIR INTENTIONS. The boasts made on the streets by prominent Liberals are to the effect that by the machinery provided by the Ontfrwio Election Act the Hardy Gov- ej'nment will rob the people of at least half a dozen honestly elected re- presentatives. The first deed in the campaign of trickery which Premier Hardy and his colleagues decided on last Wednesday was enacted in West. Huron yesterday. A special despatch from Goderich says :— Returning Officer Gipson this morn- ing sent word to the interested parties in the West Huron election that the would be prepared at 2 o'clock to give his decision regarding the omission by three deputies to fill in in the poll -book the estimate of votes. At the hour named he announced that be had not taken legal advice, as he said ho would, but had decided that he could not; take into account the vote cast in the divi- sions owing to the absence of the state- ment iu the poll -hook, although, as already stated, the statement was given and enclosed with the poll -book in sheet form. 'He therefore summed up the vote cnst in the divisions from which statements were given, and de- clared Mr. Garrow elected by eight votes. The decision is being almost unanimously condemned as an out- rage, and Mr. Beck will at once apply for a recount." TH11 RETURN/NO OFFICER. Mr. Gibson is registrar of Huron and a brother of Mr. Thos. Gibson, ex-M,P, P. His appointment, it will he re- membered, produced strained relations between Mr. Carrow and the Ontario Government. It is possible dist the Gibson family is now making amends therefor. Mr. Beck has a partial remedy in the clause of the Act which renders a deputy returningofficer liable to a fine of $100 for negect of duty, but the Liberals in Toronto say that the On- tario Government is prepared to pay all such fines. Forest Bonne. The E. L. of C. E., sof Kippen Metho- dist church, which has been dormant for the past few months, held a meet- ing on Thursday evening and re- organized with the following officers :— Hon, President, Rev. Mr. Waddell. 'President., Robt. Hinsdale. Vice -Pres., Robt. Brownlee. Sec.-Treas., Miss Grace Uudmore. This League intends having a social on Thursday evening. A good pro- gramme is being gotten up. Messrs. Geo. and Win. McKay left last week for the Klondike to try their fortune. We wish them success. Miss C. Armstrong, of Seaforth, is the guest of Miss Jennie Brownlee this week. Great interest was taken in the elec- tion last week, about 170 votes being polled at this polling division. There were about 180 name on the list. Mr. Wm. Chesney, our genial asses- sor, made his annuals round last week, A BRIGHT TRIO, INDEED. In South Hul'on Harry Either was on Friday declared elected by a wajorit y of 159. In the 'East Riding, 'where the majority was Borne 500, Alex, Hislip has been duly awarded the seat. In 'West Huron where Major Beck won the seat by, a ma- jority of 2, his opponent has been declared elected by the Re- turning Officer by a majority of 8, the returns from three polling BO - 'divisions having been thrown out owing to the crass stupidity of the deputies, two in the Circular Town and one in Hullett, who failed to fill in their poll books. A pretty state of affairs surely has thus been brought about. A good stiff penalty might prevent the recurrence of the like again. As it is the burden of the recount has been thrown upon Major Beck, who, as soon as the declaration was given, had application made for ra hear- ing before the Judge. The recount will'accordingly begin to-morroty. Public opinion is running pretty high this week and we fancy if the question could now be presented to the people the Major would have his majority vastly increased. It would be 200 instead of 2. ALMA. A sleigh load from near Londeshoro drove to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno Dale last week. The evening and a small part of the morning was very pleasantly spent in games, laughter and social chat. Mr. and Mrs. Dale know how to entertain a crowd. Mrs. George Dale is not improving very fast. She hacl a turn for the worse last week. She has our sym- pathy. Mr, Henry Cooper drove a sleigh load of invited friends to Seaforth on Friday evening of last week whore a very enjoyable time was spent at the home of `1t. and Mrs. Jno, i"olland of that place. The swift winged hoots sped so rapidly amid music, Laughter and dance that the "we Hina hours" were reached almost unnoticed., They report a gond tiwe. The l;esul1 of the political election seems to lave invade uo itbaterneut in the line of parties. 51r. John A. Carter, of Clinton, was the guest, of his sister, Mrs. H. Cooper, last week. Owing to out. President being laid up with ra cot foot. Mrs. A.. Scott took charge of the Epworth League last week. The topic "The danger of spiritual declensions" was taken by Mr, Rust. Gibbing's.

Mr. Richard Weston has moved into the house vacated by sir. Lawrason. Eliza, Pottet has gone to Loudon to try faith cure. A number from around here were summoned to appear 1u Goderich on Wednesday in connection with the Gully School Trustee election held on Jan. 19th. The end of this trouble is not yet. The elections are over 'and the Con- servi tlives here are jubilt,nt over the splendid victories gained both in West and South Halon. What does Mr. Gar - row thinks of the Mossback Tories (so styled by hlin.) There were just two too many for him. John (;antelon, son Of Peter Contelon of the 8th con., died on Saturday and was buried in the Clinton cemetery, on Tuesday afternoon. He was quite a young man and had been suffering from consumption for sometime. Capt. John McDonald, of the 6111 con., one of the enrly settlers died on Saturday afternoon of bronchitis and heart failure. The deceased was much respected by all who knew hitn. Mr. Thos.

The bride was beauti- fully attired and received a number of costly presents. 1-ier sister Miss Fanny acted as bridesmaid and Mr. J. Bombard as groomsman. After the ceremony was over (which IN/1 1A per- formed by Rev. Mr. Anclrewq of Lon- desboro) about forty couple sat down to a sumptuous repast.

Mr. and Mrs. George Miller, of Gode- rich township, were visiting at Mr. Jas. Hunter's one day this week.
