It affords us much pleasure to an- nounce to the readers of this paper that the Government of Sir John Mricdonald has been sustained at the polls. It also affords us much pleasure to state that our candidate for West York, N. Clarke Wallace, Esq . has been once more re--‘ turned to Parliament to represent us. We had a light light in this municipality to give him even a small majority. Our opponents fought and worked like beav - ers to carry their poiirt so that Riclinl mood Hill should not show a majority, but at the close of the poll they had to acknowledge themselves beaten. VValu! lace‘s majority of 451 all over must be: very satisfactory to him, and his major- ity in Woodbridge, the place of his birth and abode, must be very gratifying. and on the other band, the defeat of Dr. Lynd in Pnrkdale by a majority of 39 must have been a surprise to the doctor. There was one feature of the election in this place that we were very sorry for, and that was the swearing of such good citizens as Mr. John Elliott and Mr. Bricknell. Of course, the opposition had a perfect right to do it, but at the same time we question much the prudence of such a course or the object to be gained by it Our vote at the close of the poll in Richmond Hill stood: for Wallace 93; Lynd 90; being 183 votes. In the election in 1882, the number for Wallace Was 78, and Hodgins 49; total 127; showing an increase of 56 votes. Every municipality in the Riding gave \Valllar'e a majority except Vaughan. We will next week give a comparison of the votes polled last general election and the election Tuesday last. No doubt, our candidate will give due credit to the HERALD for its support given to him during the campaign. The ballots being printed at our office must have carried good luck with them to the Government candidate. and we hope it will show to all candidates desiring parliamentary honors in the future that if they wish to succeed in their efforts they must patronize the HERALD in having their printing done. It looks well for the country that that most able parliamentarian for mischief â€"should have been elected to stay at home. A fitting rebuke to him for the many scandals lielrns given birth to against men better than himselfâ€".11 C Cami-run. \Ve lakcilie following from the World of Wednesday as the results of the polling : l PROVINCEB.

MR HOOD READY TO FACE THE CHARGE BUT THE COURT ADJOURNB. MARKIIAM VILLAGE. Feb 21. before midnight on Saturday. Hood, Viceâ€"President of the East York Conservative Association, was arrested on a charge of having attempted to bribe certain electors of East York. The per- V sons on whose evidence it was said the I charge was based chef‘Jim" Malcolm and “Sam” Lapp, twomen. who it is: said, have been - unsuccessfully oflering to sell their votes to at least five respec- table Conservatives since the contest commenced. The case was called this morning. Mr. Hood, through his; 'counsel, Mr. W. G. Falcoubridge, C. pleaded not guilty. The names of‘ the witnesses for the prosecution were called and all answered to their names. To the surprise of everyone the pre-» siding magistrate, Mr. J Vanzant, ad. juurned the case until Friday next at 10 o’clock. Mr. Falconbridge, on beâ€" balfof his client, stated that he was ready and willing to go on with the inâ€" time it would not be surprising if those figures were doubled. There is not the shadow of a doubt of the return of the Liberal candidates; it has gone beyond the regions of betting, and the only solace of Conservatism is to painfully offer to wager that the Government Will be sustained. In nine out of ten cases where this is closed with. the Conserva-, 'ive backs out. In Pictou Mr. W H Tupper will likely be defeated, and Mr John McDougall (Conservative) and Mr John D McLeod (Liberal ) be reâ€" turned. In Annapolis the coutest, as always, will be close. In Slielburnc and Guysboro’ the Liberal candidates are sure, as also in Hunts A very uncertain sent is that of Minister Mchlan, in v Colcliester, and his defeat is looked for. Nova Scotia will probably. atlcast, stand fifteen Liberals and six Conservatives. --.llonireal Witness. It is a bad thing to count chickens before they are hatched. it so often‘ proves an unsatisfactory way of doing business. And the truth of this assen- lion is strongly verified in the results of the recent election contest, and in no Province in the Domi'hion more so. than in the Province of Nova Scotia. There it was we were told. periodically, that the supporters of the Government of Sir John would go to the wall certain and sure. Tapper, according to the Reform papers and Reform speakers, is one of the greatest scoundrcls that ever went unbung Notwithstanding. however. all the prognosiications of the “dear saints” belonging to what is now known in Nova Scotia as the Liberal Repeal party, Sir Jonn Macdonald has been sustained in that Province by a larger majority than he had in 1882. Tupper, "' the great High Priest of corruption" accord-- ing to the lleformers. is returned for his native County by 603 majputy, "its Brunswick likewise has given an in- crcased majority for llre Government. In fact, the Government has been sus- tained by everv Province in the Do- minion with the exception of the little Province of Prince Edward Island and in that the Opposition have all. " We wish to give the Prolribilionisls full credit for the goodness of their ob ject; but. they must allow us to consider whether they are taking the right means. No principle, bowcwr sacred, can enjoin them or us to do mischief. The Scott Act. in its practical operation, is not only substituting on illict for a licensed trade. infecting the people with contrabandism. filling neighborhoods with illâ€"will, and fostering perjury. but it is actually in- crcasing the consumption of ardent spirits. The use of ardent spirits, es» pecially in the way of “ nipping” is the real bane, and against this it is that the practical promoters of terriperancc strug gle. But as ardent spirits contain much more stimulant than beer. and are thus more convenient for smuggling, the ef- fect of all prohibitive legislation mum. be to discourage Ilrc use of beer and to pro mote the use of ardent. spirits.

No application was made in open court on the part of anyone representing the prosecution to adjourn the case. It was. quite upper- ent that there was no evidence forthâ€" coming to establish the charge against Mr. Hood, and there was widespread feeling of indignation among the re- spectable Reformers in the neighborhood. It was reported that one of the witnesses, Malcolm, was weakening. and the proba» bilities pointed to his leaving the country. His action in this respect was anticpated by his arrest by an information being laid against him and Lapp for conspiracy. Malcolm was arrested at the railway sta- tion. Mr. Hood has made a statutory declaration specifically denying the charges, and stating that Lapp and Malcolm approached him and asked him for money for themselves and for the purpose of corrupting Grit vorers who they said they could purchase for about $3 a piece. He told them that ho had no money for such purposes and that he was certain that there Was no money in the riding for any snclu,purpose.
