ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, JAN. 14. 1904. • • NOTES AND COMMENTS. Senator 1)andurand, one of the Lib- eral organizers, thinks the Conservatives may not carry more than five seats in Quebec province. Mr. Hance J. Logen, M. P., one of the Liberal whips, predicts that the Government will carry 28 out of the 36 seats in the. Maratime Provinces. The story printed in a Toronto Conser- vative paper that Hon. M. E. Bernier has been appointed a member of the Railway Commission and Hon. L. P. Brodeur, Speaker of the House of Commons, taken into the Cabinet, is a fake. It is amusing to ear some people speak of Hon. G. W. Ross as the "old Ian®.*ho ought to give way to the young Mr. Whitney." There is just two years difference in the age of these gentlemen, Mr. Rosa being 62 and Mr. Whitney 60. --Brockville Recorder. An excellent showing made by the Dominion of Canada with respect to trade failure in 1903. These numbered 978 last year against 1,101 iu 1002, and 1,341 in 1901. Total liabilities were $7,- 552,72.4, against $10,934,777 in 1902, and i $10,811,671 in 1901. Total assets were $4,872,422, against $7,772,418 in 1002, and $7,686,823 in 1901. - ......-..---- -..-- Mr. Ross, as Premier, has a wording Mr. majority if his supporters are true to him and to each other, and the on)y way to find out whether they t' te'is to call the Legislative As el bly together and 1g before it th>s'Goverument legislative program^.

The question as to whether there will be a session of Parliament still hangs in the balance, but a definite decision one way or the other will be reached very some Indications seem to be that there will be a session before an election. This is the ysiew entertained by prom- inent supporters of the Government, who have seen the Prime Minister re- cently, but Sir Wilfred Laurier gives no sign, and he is the final judge. a _ .. -..CYC, .•..M ":�.�, IPsers Ayer's Cherry Pectoral quiets tickling throats, hack- ing coughs, pain in the lungs.

The convention of the Liberals of West Huron, held at Dungannon on Tuesday of last week, was very largely attended, and as stated in our last issue, Mr. Robt. Holmes of Clinton was unan- imously nominated as candidate for the Commons. W. Proudfoot, K. C., president of the West Huron Liberal Association, direct. ed the proceedings and was re.elected to the position which he has held for some years. There was a notable vacancy caused by the absence of W. Coats, who for many years held the position of secretary -treasurer and discharged its dirties with zeal and ability, but who now, as the psesident said, "has a more lucrative position," that of County Reg- istrar. The office was divided and Chas. Garrow, of Goderich, was elected as secretary, and Joseph Bell, of Carlow, as treasurer. The other officers are as follows: -First vice president, Morgan Dalton, Reeve of Ashfield; second vice president, James Young, Auburn; third vice president, Henry Morris, Loyal; auditor, Henry Beattie, Clinton. It was decided also to appoint a chair. man for each municipality, such chair• men to be members of the executive committee. These chairman were ap- pointed as follows :-Ashfield, 5'ohn Styles; Kiutail; Colborne, Alex. Young, Carlow; West Wawanosh, Win. Bail- ie, Dungannon; Goderich township, J. W. Yeo, Holmesvilie; Hallett, Thomas McMillan, Constance; East Wawanosh, J. T. Currie; Blyth, Win. Jackson; Wingham, R. Clegg; Clinton, D. F. Macpherson; Goderich, W, L. Horton. CHURCH NOTES.

Listowel and Lucknow teams played a league game at Listowel o:d Friday night last, the former winning by a score of 21 to 3. There was a good league game of hock- ey played in the Wingham rink on Mon- day evening, when Harrieton and Wimp ham boys came together. The game was well attended and the band fur- nished excellent mesio during the even- ing. At the end of the required time for playing the score was a tie-.- 7 all. Ten minutes more play left the Harrist. on lsoya victorious by a score of 10 to 8. The Wingllanl Hockey Club went to Clinton on Thursday last to play au ex- hibition game with the team of that town and were defeated by a score of 8 to 10. The first half was very much in favor of Wingham, score being 3 to 2 in favor of our boys and both teams play- ing good hockey, but the second half the Clinton boys acted like so many bush whackers and the Wingham team came in for a bad slugging and to make matters worse the game was played with- out goal nets and almost everything that hit the end of the rink where Wingham was defending wan counted by Clinton goal umpire, which official had to be changed several times, but the Clinton team will play a return game shortly and our boys will show them how to play good clean hockey.

Toronto, Jan.12.-There was a very heavy run at the city cattle market to- day, comprising up to noon hour 88 loads, with a number of loads reported on 'the road but delayed. The receipts consist- ed of 1,560 head of cattle, 1,142 sheep and lambs, 1,000 hogs and 75 calves. Business was fair, though owing to the& unusually heavy run for a Tuestiy's market it was a little slow towbars the close, and prices for the coneneroner run of butchers' cattle easedeoff a little. Forty-five carloads bf stock, includ- ing 770 cattle ande480 sheep and lambs, were the arrivgis at the Union btock Yards, Toronto Junction, yesterday:and to -day The quality of the cattle was good, better,:in fact, than any run of stock since the Christmas market. Trate was fairly good with prices a little easier than usual.
