For over twenty years, the YORK HERALD pursued the even tenor of its way in this village, and gave a. weekly history of the tiuies,-politically and commerciallyâ€"the people, the finances, and all other interesting matters of' a local or general nature. Of course there were, amcngst its readers and neighbors, many warm friends, and some who did not: approve of the course pursued or nieaures advocated by it with regard to the political affairs of the country. This was quite natural. In the ccomcny of nature it has proved to be for the advancement and better de- velopment of mankind and civilization generally that there should b: dif- ferences of opinions on all sudjects; but the HERALD, confident in its inâ€" tegrity, and firm in its convictions as to what was best suited, or more pc- culiarly calculated to advance the wel fare ofits rcadeie and the whole coun- try, continued in its career, prosperous and suecessfnl,-â€"-if not, achieving tin- hounded wealth. But in the summer of1878,0wing to a combination of cir- cumstances, well understood by our readers, the HERALD was induced to leave the old, tried and true “ friends it had found in this neiphborhood, and locate at Biadl'tz-id, Simcoe. It is an old and true saying that “far elf fields look grsenf’ on a nearer arproach or residence there the pleasant illusion is sometimes dispelled; -â€"-niost. unfortunately for the person deluded. Bradford did not prove, after a fair and thorough trial, to be congenial to the HERALD,â€" it had been too firmly rooted in York,to succt'ssl'nlly bear trans- plantation. and the result is that it once more makes its appearance from the old location, with considerable ex- perience, dearly gained. We hope that it may continue to go on and prosper {or future generations, always advocaâ€" ting the best interests of the village and county generally. This shall be our aim in future to make the HERALD just what a good, local journal should be, and in this/desirable object we feel asâ€" sured that. our friends, and many of our atone-time opponents will afford us a fult‘ and liberal support,-â€"always previding we prove worthy ofit, which i: is our desire to do.

Certainly the Hill is not a place in which fortunes can be made in a day, but there is one thing assured, that whena business is once established, there are very few towns ofequal size, or even some what larger, where onecould better himself. The trade is “a steady one, and almost any business when thoroughly built up, is likely to afford a good living to the possessor. The financial position of the town is, all things considered, very satisfactory; it is also improving and enlarging from year to year; is situated Imongst- a prosperous farming ccm~ munity, and therefore the burden of depressed trade and “hard times” does not affectit as heavily as many other places throughout the country.

He was lfcnized by New Yorkers. While we, in common with a great many others holding the same political opinions, entertain a deep feeling of respect and good will for this gentleman, in his personal character and relations, we regret being unable to agree with him in his public capacity, Were Mr. Patterson's political opinions of a Con- servative nature; or, in other wise, could we believe that the course he now follows as Member is best: adapted to to the future welfare of our Province, we would have no hesitation in endors- ing his candidature. But, believing and knowing as we do that the Govern- ment of which he is a supporter, have proven very extravagant in conducting the affairs of the Province, and have recklessly squandered our resources, for the benefit of' political friends; that. they hnve broken every promise mode to the electorsthat great Reforms would be inaugurated and carried out. during their Government ; that while they condemned Sandfield for certain actions they have com. mined the some to a much greater extent without our extenuating circumstances. and clearly shown that they have very little re- gard for the principles M one time strongly contended for. The exnenditure of nearly every department has been increased, at a time when the country was suffering from deptession, and economy should have been the rule. In all these transactions the Gov ernment has been supported by Mr Patter- s.;n. who thereby sanctions them. and must therefore, be included in the general con- demtmtton.

With all due respect to Mr Patter son. we must assert that his talents are not such as ate required for the position he now holds.

Oh. no ; not at ali ; wouldn’t think of such ‘a thing ! Why that might be bribery ? Bribery gor not, that and similar acts put him in Ens member.

The result ‘of that vote might be taken as an indi- cation of how the Dominion election would go, to a certain extent, and Glen determined togain prestige by securing ,the victory,â€"â€"so he says The amount. \he spent Went into the funds of the SO' ciety, but although it was not intendâ€" led to bribe the members, this tcnmmendable generosity C?) had, I . - . Without a doubt, constderuble to do In gaining a number of' votes. Then ngain -he gave to his own Church about $1000; and in the July previous to the election die helped along several other Churches 1by subscribing from $5 to $50. He secured good situations for young men, but not to influence their father’s vote ; he promised another young man a good lsit, it being understood not(?) to influ- ence votes. He promised 'to use his in- !fluence to carry out several little plans iof a similar nature, if he was elected,â€" ' but he did not wish to influence or ‘bribe voters. Of course the parties who Were promised this,and their friends, would naturally work to have that mam ; returned; but he would not bribe, and The Judge presiding at an election trial has a very unpleasant and rather arduous duty to perform, much more so than in the vast majority of trials or suits of any other character. Whilst. there is to be encountered in nearly all cases which come before a tribunal the fact of deciding adversely to one of the parties concerned,yet in an election trial, the feeling of dissnppointment entertain- ed by the defeated parties and their friends is much more general, as great interest is usually felt in the matter by alarge number of the electors through- out the Dominion. This feature is not, however, the most unpleasant to be con- sidered. AJudge who gives his deci- sion in ordinary suits strictly in accord- ance with the evidence and facts adduced, need care but little what feeling is arous- ed by that verdict in the minds of those who lose, as he has simply fulfilled the duty pertaining to his ofliee, and may safely trust to being respected and susâ€" tained bv the good judgment of the peo- ple at large. But election trials prove an exception to this rule, as it is very rarely that per~ sons whose political opinions incline to either side will consider the decision given by the Judge fairly on its merits. Party feeling seems to be the lens through which these matters are viewed, and, of course, the result is that one persons sees nothing wrong in an action which another fiercely condemns as conâ€" trary to law and justice. One cannot comprehend how the Judge declares there was no bribery, when a witness actually swears he was bribedâ€"even though others testify that they were present on the occasion referred to, and the witness was not bribed. So it goes the whole way round. All seem color- blind. What is green to one appears yellow to another, and vice-versa. They think one man's word as good as another, and a little better, when the proper man is with them. Some one is handling the truth very recklessly, but, of course, it. is on the opposite side. Nothing good can come out of Nazareth. If a Naza' rene wishes the slightest reliance to he placed upon his veracity, he must disown that ecuntry, and enrol himself with-ethe other party. The South Ontario and Niagara trials have plainly shown that. however easy it may appear in theory to unseat a candi- date who has been guilty, either per- Sonally or through his agents, of break- ing the law, it is almost impossible to prove the illegal act before a Court. That such is the case is no fault; of the Judges, who, deciding on the evidence adduced and supported, may often strict- ly fulfil their duty without; being able to rectify a wrong,or meet out to the guilty parties what they so richly deserve: Contested Election Trials did not intend to bribe. He made pre- sents of two phaetons costing. about $200 each but for no corrupt pur- pose. He carefully avoided bribing any one, according to the act, and therefore thejudge had to dismiss all charges. But none can deny that the majority secured was in a great measure owing to the open-handed system of scattering money around in the way numerated above. It will thus be seen flint only a little carelulness and judg- ment should be 'used by a rich candidate, and votes may be counted on by the hundreds, witbour rendering the person who so influences the electors liable to disqualification, or the loss of his seat. In the Niagara ease, hundreds of dollars were spentin bribing the electors, but so well was the business managed, that although many cases of bribery were proven, still it could not” be sub- stantiated that the respondent, Mr. P. Hughes, had a hand in the matter, or that the“strangers"(hls brothers-1n law) who were so lavish in laying out the filthy lucre, did so with his permission and knowledge. In fact, it was only on a very close and careful scrutiny of the evidence that the judge could find the slightest legal reason why the re- spondent should be disqualified. This was done. however, on the strength of a conversation he had with one witness in the presence of'two persons. where he promised to hire a man to take Hosit- ter’s place, provided he turned out to vote for him (Hughes) He swore that such conversation never took place, hilt the judge decided otherwise. Hughes, it is said,intends to appeal the decision, and if he does s04 31: is ques- tionable whether it may not be set aside. It; is thus, apparent that a judge has no easy matter in deciding those cases, and that a candidate may gain his seat by hridery, p ovided only, he is careful not to do the thing awkwardly. Glen broke the spirit ot'the law, it not the letter, but he came out with clean hands, legally. ‘Hughes broke “both the spirit and the letter, and still it was nip and tuck” to prove the matter. Thus wags the world. ' ONE of the many peculiarities which has chacterized the ChtneSe nation for many centuries is their tendency to hold on to by- gone customs, and their determination not to learn anything from the great. advance- ment and many improvements made by other nations. This feature is even more strikingly evinced in another manner by the Toronto Globe. rl'he comments of that paper on the decision given in the East Hastings Election trial indicates that it has not and cannot learn how to deal fairly or justly with a political opponent. lt fatils'to recognize the fact that. puhlic feeling is now against such an abusive and unmanly mode of condemning the actions of those with whom it. does not agree. Ifthe hostile or malignant feeling must be ventilated, let it be done in a gentlemanly manner. No one can reasonably find fault with ajournal for making the most of any matter from its own standpoint, provided always the line ts not, overstepped, and the writer descends to fu‘sehood and scurrility Whilethe Globe date notuccuse the Judge of acting con- tt nry to justice an implication that he should have decided more strongly in favor of the Reform candidate. Mr Aylestrtb, is plain to be seen. This, in reality. is tantamount. to sayttw that the decision was not a just One; and in an indirect, under-hand manner the De;uty-Retttrttitt,-,r Officer is put on an equal footing with a perjuter. Had the decision been given more favorably to its candidate, all the abuse and slander would have been avmded. and the Judge and elec- tion officials upheld as models of wisdom and propriety. What a. beautiful system of g0vernment, and how excellent the judica- tare framed. managed and administered by the Daniel of the Globe, who, ,in his imag- ination, holds the. whole thing in the hollow of his hand.

The audience was fair, but a large number being ticket-holders reduced the proceeds considerably. The duties of the chair were attended to by Mr. J Switzer in his usual able and graceful manner.
