The Clinton News-Record, 1898-03-17, Page 4I L 4 The Huron News -Record St.00 a Year, in Advance. THURSDAY. MARCH 17th, 1898. BOUND TO WIN, NO MATTER HOW. Though ever so anxious to retain power and pap the Hardyites should have some regard for the sauctity of the ballots. They should not put the election machinery in the hands of either chumps or rascals who, intentionally or otherwise, fail to fill in their returns. Neither should they appoint as. re- turning -officers men who will disfran- chise whole communities, b.nd, to make matters worse, credit the act to con- scieemeg Art over and above all, when once the boxes have gone so far on their journey securely, they should be relig- iously guarded so that no unholy hands may be laid upon them to the undoing of the choice of the people. This care does not seem to have been exercised in close contests. Down in West Elgin where the re- sult hangs upon one ballot, it is com- mon talk that the boxes have been tampered with, while the following despatch from Ottawa to the Toronto Star ((frit) tells a similar tale :— "The most perplexing case that has occurred was the unravelling of the returns from poll No. 7, in Dalhousie Ward, where W. A. Cole, deputy re- turning officer, neglected to fill in form eleven in the poll book. The poll book shows that 192 persons voted, and there are 199 ballots in the box. These ballots were cast as follows : Lums- den 112,O'Keefe 87,Powell 100and Slatter65. The return made to the sheriff on election night on the form supplied for that purpose gave Lums- den 111, O'Keefe 83, Powell 105, and Slattery 65." As Powell, Conservative, had a majority of only 2 in the constituency, the manifest stuffing in this one divi- sion was quite sufficient to rob him of the seat. The Government which is content to win in this fashion can scarcely he• said to represent the people. GIBSON'S CHOICE OF REPRESENTATIVES From The Mail and Empire.

If Returning Officer Gibson in Wes Huron had done the counting in Ea. Toronto, he could have knocked o Dr. Pyne. See what Mr. Calder h missed. There is a curious and inte eating fact relating to this West H ron fraud. The returning officer ha undertaken to disfranchise elector because some of his own agents, th deputies, did not add up the votes an put the figures on a certain schedul- It happens that Mr. Beck, wh was temporarily defrauded of hi rights in this way, was the returnin; officer in one of the Cameron election in Haven. The same informalit occurred. Had Mr. Beck been a rase' he would have counted Mr. Camaro' •nut. But he did what was right, an ,gr.

Thomas, March 9.—(Special.)— peal was made last night against ecision of Judge Ermatinger in recount in West Elgin, conse- tly Returning Officer Brown can- ' give the deciding vote. If Mc- .iarmid is counted out by the Court of Appeal at Toronto, the Oonserva- tives will demand a scrutiny. The charge is freely made that. the hallo[ boxes in the West 'tiding have been tampered with. Conservatives claim that tvvo ballots rejected by Judge Er- matinger will be allowed by the Court. of .Appeal. Both parties are of the opinion that, no matter what the out come is, there will be another election in this riding. The greatest dispute between c;oun-! sel in the West Elgin recount wa- over a ballot cast, in No. 1 division o' South wold, marked this way :— x 4- 1 MacDIARM1D 2 MacNISH Before marking his ballot the voter had ev'dently practised on the mar gin as to the kind of cross he woul>> make. Mr. E. F. B. Johnston, for Mac nisi, contended that the marking 0 the ballot in the margin above the space showed deliberate intention, and was not done through ignorance, as one mark was made correctly; J. W. Grothers, for McDiartnid, claimed that :'e ballot was marked plainly oppo- se Mr. McDiarmid's name, and that y other marks outside of the regular ace should not affect the validity the ballot at all. is Honour ruled in favour of the puty returning officer, and re(eoted s ballot. + THE LAW AS TO THE A' ..a,.. he Ontario Election Act provides tt after a recount the judge shall re)rtity the result to the returning of- ficer, who shall declat a elected the candidate having the largest number of votee, and in the case of a tie the returning officer shall have the casting vote. However the judge must delay Betiding his certificate to the return- ing officer for two days after the com- pletion of the recount, in order to al- low of an appeal. At the end of two days, if no appeal is made, the judge shall certify the result to the return- ing officer foetwith. In case of ap- peal the candidate so appealingmust give notiee to the judge and he op- posing candidate within the two days epecitied above. The judge must for- ward the ballot in dispute to bbe Registrar of the Court of Appeals, and an appointment must be made with one of the judges of the Court of Ap- peal forthwith. The time appointed for hearing the appeal must not he more than four days from the date of the appointment. Having recounted the ballots, the judge of the Court of Appeal must orthwith certify his decision to the county judge, who shall without delay certify the result of the recount to the returning officer. The judge of the Court of Appeal may direct by and to whom the costs of the appeal shall be paid and shall make his order accord- ingly. West Ilurou Returns. The West Huron recount began Fri- day forenoon and lasted with varying fortune until 4 p.nr. Saturday when Judge Masson gave his decision on the ballots in dispute. The result estab- lishes Major Beck's right to the seat he so gallantly won on March 1st. The better element in the Riding very emphatically says the case should rest at that, but it does seem that the lawyer whom the people rejected is about to open a campaign in Osgoode Hall for the representation of West Huron. Judge Masson's judgment was a lengthy one. He disallowed three ballots with a single stroke, and four with a cross on the hack, as well as on the front, and allowed two ballots with lines on in addition to the cross. Two hallos marked with blue and one with ncil are allowed, and the ballot with d tp e number h h mer e early all torn off is also allowed. The result of all is to leave Mr. Beck with two majority. Immediately after Judge Masson rendered his decision Mr. harrow gave notice that he would appeal against Judge Masson's decision on 7 ballots, 3 of his own disallowed and 4 of Beck's allowed. During the after- noon Mr. Beck gave notice of a counter appeal, -which is understood to mean the t every point that has been contended for by Mr. Beck's solicitor 11 a:ain be reviewed. The 8fbr of Margaret's Misadven tore," by A, S. Van Westrum (Town Topics, 208 Fifth Atte., New York,) is one that is bound to cause very general comment. Its account of the social campaign of a ead, and a picture of a young girl's first disenchantment, have the qualities of interesting and pleas- ing the differing tastes. A number of sharply drawn charaeter-sketches from society, add to the interest of thelot. The style of the story is such that no one can lay it down until the last page is reached.

P t severe andleave re- state with God. • Discussion.—Teachers should be A living embodiment. of what, they teach. They should consider the snr- rouwdings of the pupils. It is some- times necessary to appoint teachers who are unconverted. it may he n great benefit to the individual but is •not to be generally practised. We should have ideal teachers. Rev. S. Bund, of Seaforth, introduc- ed the suhject, "The personal and col- lective relationship of the teacher to each other and to the School." 'Teach- ers should consider themselves a cor- porate body united together with com- mon feelings, aims and methods. Every teacher, though teaching his own class, should he interested in the classes of others. Teachers should speak loudly enough to he heard dis- tinctly by all the members of their own classes but not loudly enough to in- terlope with the work of their neigh- bors. One teacher's success will be in- fluenced by that of another. Personal interests and opinions should never predominate in the different teachers. Teachers to he successful should be in unity and harmony with one another and loyal to the hest interests of the school. Mr. Lough introduced the subject, "How a teacher should get ready for his lesson." He should pray over it, have an aim in view, stuy systemati- cally, teach by object lessons, classify the material, prepare the connecting links, study the persons named in the lesson, make an outline plan of the lesson, think and read about the les- son, condense the infortnation thus ob- tained, arrange the parts in regular order as links in a chain, teach the pupils to reason, teach the lesson, apply it, and emphasize it, proceed front the known to the unknown. Make the best possible use of time and resources available. Discussion: --Study the lesson having the class in mind. Outline the lesson, be as original as possible. AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session, devoted to Epworth League wink, was opened by devotional exercises led by Rev. God- win. This being concluded the President of the Conference took the hair and the nominating committee was appointed. Mr. A. P. Shepperi hen read a paper on "What the men- er of the League should be, as an ndividual." He should be a careful nd constant student of the Bible, he hould be prayerful, courageoue, con- istent, sympathetic, punctual; watch- ul, earnest, pleasant, natural, ternper- te, self-controlled, busy, faithful, firer rut not obstinate, jealous but not anatical, fearless but not foolhardy, c t b n s s f a f Every eye is on Huron now Whether the voter holds pen 6e. plow ; And all mlay now guess with one accord, Whether pen is mightier than sword.

At the meeting of the Dominion Grange held in London last week the Committee on Legislation recommend- ed that the Ontario Government be asked to pass a law enabling 111(1111- cipalitiei to conduct insurance within their owes hounds: that the Dominion Government appoint a fixed day for the holding of elections for both Houses, except in cages where it government bus been defeated; that the Dominion Government furnish all magistrates and all -officials of rnunicipalitees with copies of the statutes in order that the public can secure information regarding any law without consulting a lawyer; and that the Dominion Government should prohibit the importation of all fruit trees from states or countries where the San Joe scale is known to exist, The Grange decided to further insist on more attention beitlg paid to the Public schools, and that those who wished higher education should be compelled to pay for it. The next meeting of the National Grange will he held in Concord, N. li., in November, and the Dominion Grange appointed Messrs. J. Robinson and W. F. W. Fisher es its representa- tives. The following officers were elected :-- Worthy Master—W. F. W. Fisher, of Burlington. Overseer -'-Robert Currie, of Wing- harn. Secretary—Robert Wilkie, Blenheim.

Executive Cnmtnittee -Henry Glen- denning, Manilla; Jebel Robinson, Middlelnai ch. Auditors—J. McDougall, Milton; E. Peart, Nelson. Mr. Vanatter introduced the subject "What should a member of the League do?" He should seek to know God's will, study the Bible, be dilligent in all his business, whether secular or spiritual. He should never allow amusements to interfere with attend- ance on the means of grace Be care- ful in the select ton of his associates and +uunseureits. Study the mission- ary interests of the church, contribute to all the funds of the church and help his pastor. Mr. Pentland's subject was "What should a member of the League do to attain the ideal of a worker?" Every member of the League should be a worker willing to give out the very (nest that is in him, willing to be good and 0' do good, willing to look up and to lift up. An ideal worker is an in - spit ed worker, one who receives from Heaven his commission, Go 110(1 I will be with thee, one who will volunteer for service for the Master. success depends on concentration of talents and powers in one direction. Look atter the minute details of work, live close) ) tc God win and the way closer to teen. The ideal worker is a sanctified worker, such an ideal is possible. Pray tfor )itss have hebaptism of the Holy plenty of machinery but not enough devo- tion. We should take hire to be holy. If associate members are not bei ug brought to Christ but are rather bec(imiug more hardened, it is because the active members are not letting their light shine. Christians taking the Associate Members Pledge are placing theu>selves in a false position:. An ideal worker is a constant worker, always willing to lend a helping hand. Rev. A. C. Crews took the subject., "011ieers and their duties" and asked and answered questions on it. The Honorary President of the League is the principal officer and should be con- sulted in every particular• by the League. Presidents should do nothing , r they caur•1,et some one else to do, but should he on hand punctually. to take the work of an absentee. The corresponding secretary should publish the workings of the League, keep the League posted on any infor- mation received through correspond- ence and conduct the correspqudeuve of the League. The Altssionary department should be thoroughly worked. Missionary literature shuulrl be largely used, A Missionary literary would be benefi- cial. Aliesionary meetings should be held once a month. Money raised by this committee should be banded over to the church Missionary authorities. The Vice -President of the Literary depaitnien t. should be in sympathy with the spit itnal interests of the League. This department is intended to de- velop the mental and spiritual nature. The reading course can be carried on in any place though only one take it up. The Literary Vice -President should try to interest the young people in church history and act es agent for the Guardian. The Methodist Cate- chism should he studied easefully. The nominating committee recom- mended the following as officers for the ensuing year and they were elect- ed :.— President, Mr. A.T. Cooper, Clinton ; 1st Vice President, Christain Endeavor department) Mr. F. Elford, ll0imes- ville;2nd Vice Presidend, Missienapy department, Miss L.

Wanless, Varna; Representa- tive to Conference League, Rev. J. Edge, Goderieh. It was eesolyed that the next meeting be held in North St. Methodist Church, Goderich, in about a year, the date to be settled by the executive committee. Reports were given by several of the retiring officers. asylniu. We are pleased to learn that the county council are taking Steps bo snake some needed improvements in the gaol building. It was the desire of the jury to visit the house of Refuge, at Clinton, but owing to the prnbablu shortness of t he sittings of the court and the fact that the committee of the county council are carefully looking after the Nouse of Refuge, we concluded that public interests would not suffer by one not making the visit at this time. AiI of which is respectfully sub- mitted. !EV EININU sESSiUN. After a hymn and a season of prayer Mr. Bond, who again occupied the chair, introduced the newly -elected President, Mr. A.T. Cooper, who gave a brief but very pointed address. Rev. W. Rigsby, of Blyth, spoke on "Loyalty to the Sabbath School and the Epworth League." Loyalty is the religion of our physicial nature, Christ was loyal, 'Those who teach loyalty should practise it. 1Ve should show our IoyalLv firs►, to Chi st and then to tate chtu'eh. Obey our rulers. They roust give account of how they govern. The world is divided into three classes, the wise, the happy and the foolish. rhe wive learn by thee' own experi- ence, the happy learn by the experi- ence of others and the foolish never learn. We should neve[' be ashamed of innocence and ignuranee of sin. Loyal work and co•opetatiun is due from the League to the church. Loyal Christians are always in their places in the church, the class and the pratyei'- :neeting. Rev. A. C. Crews when again called on gave an address on "Elements of Success in Sunday School and Epworth [ eagye Work." Success is the favor- able termination of anything attempt- ed. The first element is to have a definite aim. The aim of s, Schools is to save souls and develop Christian character. That of the E. League is in addition to train the young fur work. A suc'c'ess element is industry. conse- crated hands and hearts )rust be enlist- ed. Active members should act. Many art -seemly to work if some one will lead. The pastor is the general and the Luagiie officers 11.15' his Cabinet. Loaders shoo"Come dd sayC ante on rather aft}ler than "Go un."

No Epworth League has yet, failed that has worked the four depat tments. Enthusiasm is another element of success. 1Lclliglr)us enthusiasm is con- tagious. Perseverance is essential to success. All obstacles will yield to persistent continued effort. Excellent. music was supplied by the choir at intervals during the se ening session. Votes of thanks were tender- ed to those to whose homes delegates wet esent and welcomed, to the trust- ees of the Ontario Street Church, to the choir, and to Rev. A. C. Orews and Ole tweeting was brought to a close in time for delegates to catch the trains fur their homes. A. P. SHEPPERD, Sec. of Convention, pro tette. Seaford". A tneeting of the Seaforth Collegiate Foot 13;01 Char was held on M 8l(lay evening for tine purpose of organizing for the corning year and the election of officers.
