We are indebted to the Hamilton Spectator for some ofthc following information: Haldimand has for many years previous to this been an immovable factor in the Reform ranks. It was the constituency in which two able men (outsiders) con- tested for the honor of representing it in Parliament with a popular resident Con- servative named McKinnon. The two outsiders were George Brown and Wil r liam Lyon McKenzie, the latter being successful in the contest. At that time several of the townships now comprising Monck were included in Haldimand. \Vlren Monck was created the charge was made that a safe Conservative constituâ€" eucy was being carried out, leaving the Beformers " hired” in Haldimand ; and when the Conservative township of South Cayuga was taken from Haldiâ€" mand and added to Moan the charge was repeated ; the Conservatives were “ hiving” the Reformcrs in Haldimand. But notwithstanding the “ hiving” Reâ€" fcrnr majorities have been dwindling away. At the present time little is heard of the complaint about hiving, and, no doubt, the supporters of Mr. Colter would have few objections to being hivcd a little more at the present mo- ment. In 1874 the Reformers carried the constiuency by acclaâ€" mation ; in 1878 by 166 majority; in 1882 by 126 majority; in 1886 by 111; and in 1887 the Conservative candidate was elected. It will, thereâ€" fore, be seen that the majority for the Iefornrers has been diminishing. The electors of Haldimand are strong partisans, but no doubt the great maâ€" jority of them are patriotic Canadians, and they will resent the assaults made upon the country by those who favor selling us to the Americans. In favorâ€" ing Dr. Montague’s canditature they will favor Canadian industry, a. home market for the producer,which of course reduces the cost of transportation, and which materially helps to build up a great Canadian nationality. The people of Haldimand understand the advantage of having,r as their repre- sentative at Ottawa an active. energetic. pushing man, who will look after their local interests, and such a man will be found in Dr. Montague. We will he very much surprised if the chrome of llaldimand fail to return on Saturday next at the head of the poll the L‘Oc’ur, for in him will be found activity, energy and ability. One who will at all times and on all occasions be a zealous guardian of local interests and a defender of Canadian rights. Among those gone to Haldimand for the purpose of working up an interest in Mr. Colter’s favor is the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier, now the recognized leader cfthc Liberal party in the Dominion, and a representative of 3 Quebec constituency. OTTAWA, Nov. 8â€"Mr. John Mac- donald. of Toronto, having accepted the offer of the vacant Ontario Senatorship, was at toâ€"day’s meeting of the Privy Council, formerly appointed to the va~ canny created by the death of Hon.

The result ofthe byeâ€"elections has not verified the truth oftha’ Grit chest~ nut. “ rI he Government is tottering to its fall.” Since February last. when the general appeal to the people was made, six elections have taken place. viz.: East Bruce, Ontario: Sonth Victoria. Ontario; Resrigmrclre. N. B : Diuhy. N. S ; South Benfrew, Ontario; Charlevoix, Quebec. The elecdon‘bf M r. Cimon for Charâ€"7 levoix is a direct gain for the Govern- ment, as he takes the seat of his late father. who last session voted with the Opposition. The Government have gained two seats since the general elecâ€" , tionâ€"South Renfrew and Charlevoixâ€"l equal to four seats on a division. The, result of the byeâ€"elections. put in a tabular form, is as follows: 1 Number of contests 5" Elected by acclanration.... 1 Total.... Conservatives elected. 6.

CAYUGA, Nov. 5.â€"â€"The nomination of candidates to represent the county of Haldimand in the House of Commons was held here toâ€"day, amidst the wildest enthusiasm. About 2,000 electors were present from all parts of the county and from the adjoining counties. The Liber- als nominated C W. Coltcr, B A , as. their standard bearer, and Dr W. H. Montague was nominated by the Conâ€" servatives. In the afternoon the vast assemblage was addressed on the leading questions of the day by the candidates, who both showed themselves to possess a wide knowledge ofthe politics of the country. â€"-â€"â€".â€" An appendix to the report of the chief analyst on the inspection of ferti lizcrs, food and drugs in the Dominion hnsjnst been issued. It contains valuable introductory remuks by M r. McFarlane on tlit‘ result of the tests of fertilizers, as well as the reports of district analysts. The latter s.in llllit gross adultcrations exist in teas. coffees and mustards. Parent medicines, generally speaking. are condemned. The local analyst says the manufacturers should be Compelled to register their receipts in the Departâ€" mcâ€"nt of Inland revenue, which should then submit the articles to analysis in order to control their composition. He asserts that. some of these nostroms are absolutely inert while others are truly dangerous. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"__ In an obscure corner of one of the city papers it was announced " that the Civil ServiCe emminations would be held in Victoria Hall, Toronto." no hour Was named. Next day or two in the same paper it was stated that the examinations w uld take place in " Richmond Hall” in the morning of Tuesday, and. yet again, in the next day’s paper this was contradicted, and “Violoria Hall” was named as the proper place. We protest on behalf of the country youth that proper notice should be given in some of the country papers. And.yet again. in the same paper of Wednesday, "Thirty eight candidates presented themselves at the Preliminary Civil Servico Entrance Ex- aminations which were yesterday, comâ€" menced in ‘Bichmond Hall‘ under Dr. Thornburn’s supervision."

AN L‘VEN MATCH BETWEEN Tl'll TORONTOS AND 'lIIE C(lIINWALLBâ€"‘A COLD DAY AND HOT PLAY The weather was pier inglv cold on Saturday. The sun shone brilliantly, but the rays had only the mocking semblance of warmth. There was a big crowd on the Shamrock grounds to witness the struggle hetwetn the . oil will appear in our next issue. (Iornwalls and ‘I‘orontos for the “ world‘s chum-- = pionshlp “ The grand stand was crowded in every part. Very few ladies had the courage to face the cutting wind. That there was intense excitement, that the players, on the rack of anxiety, and excited by the goods of applause. made mistakes, yielded to passion, and lost their tempers now and then, can be readily believed. The game was not the best, but it was one of the best. of the season. The play was fast but indeterminate ; energetic, but irregularly so ; brilliant, but lacking in steady purpose; grace- ful but. tactically somewhat poor. The Torontos had the grace, the lightness, the dexterous stick handling. the glancing move-- ments. the intelligent and confident team play : the Cornwalls the big energy, the larger powers of endurance, the overpowering strength ( put forth too often Without the accompanying skill which alone makes strength valuable),â€"â€"the in- domitable perseverance. The Tor-antes were strong both in their defence and home. The Cornwall borne was weak. The defence fed it splendidly, but it could not keep the ball Above all it could not score with it. The Toronto defence was too much for it. repel- ling. routing it again and again. Not one of the four games taken was taken as the result of play. They were taken by chance. They were taken bv lucky swipes. In other words not one of the games was L her] at the immedi- ate consequence of direct and intelligent play. To sum up. both teams played a strong. swift and brilliant genre. The grace and easy moves nrents of the Torontos was not more valuable as respects the issue than the enormous strength and endurance of the ('oinwalls. The boys had a little practice with their coats on before the match commenced. The Torontos were punctually on time. Had the Cornwalls been equally conscientious. the match could have been played to a conclusion. It was half-past two when the FIRST GAME was started. The Torontos went at the work with fine ease. dash and grace They played round the Cornwalls. They [got the ball nearly every time. Their very confidence tantalized. The Cornwalls seemed stiff. frozen. urielustic. They were compelled to play defence. They played defence most of the game. They played it with great stubbornness. The play was varied by a fight in which Lally’s great strength was shown tolwe cannot say enviablemdvuntage. The Cornwalls could not get the bell. They could not overtake their opponents. The game, so for as skiltul play was concerned, belonged to the Torontos. Schofreld scored after ltirninutes play (allowing for the fouls and faces). In the SECOND GAME the Cornwalls woke up a little. They attained to greater speed. It. was in this genre, that Smith developed such powers of speed. such success in getting the ball.suol1 during in passing all op- poncnts. as made him the idol of the spectators. and earned for him the distinction of special ‘bouncing’ at. the close The play was fairly even. The 'l‘orontos had still the advantage of speed and lightnoss. The issue seemed doubtful, as the ball travelled for goal to goal, though. un- doubtedly, the (lornwalls were in in ire peril than the Torontos. Tudhope was kn‘ ed down by Garvin (not wilfully wo helicvol. lid had to he removed from the field. Ploy \v topped. Play was stoppml, in fact. several t ms. The check- ing was very severe ; and thorn was a. tor roudy tendnncv to appeal to force rather that skill. Eta ck scored for the Cornwalls. The g .the w: a disputed by the Torturtos. who claimed that the referee had called time in order to settle one of the numerous fouls which were constantly o“- currinu The Referee said he had only whistled as uwarning, and allowed the game. THIRD GAME. The Cornwalls played at their best. They were thoroughly aroused Thcv put on great. speed. Thoy forced the ’l‘orontos to play defence. The game boloutzerl to the Cornwallis; they should have scored. The defence was splendid, and it fed the home constantly. The latter should have scored. They kept the ball well around the Toronto goal ; but: they could not take the position The hall travelled to the other end, and. to the surprise of all. Er‘lmrdt scored for the Torontos. after about twenty minutes actual play. Garvin got a dreadful blow on the temple. but. after being dressed, he insisted on playing. THE FOU “TH GAME saw both teams at theirhest. The play was fairly even. although the Torontos might still be said to have the advantage in speed and team play The Cornwalls played too much of an individual game. Broderick scored for the Cornwalls after 9 minutes play. THE FIFTH GAME was commenced. but it. was now getting dark ; and n tightoccurring at the east end of the field. the crowd swarmed over the grounds, and the play was cyanâ€"Montreal Witness.

By the Toronto papers we notice that coal is coming’ freely into the city and that all fears ofa coal famine have disappeared This is good news. especially for poor people who are not. able to lay any large supply in durintr the warm weather when coal is generally cheaper than at other times of the year. In a country that has coal mines so exâ€" tensive as we possess. it is really too bad that outrageous prices should be paid for thisâ€"mus of the most necessary articles of living.

I had no desire to injure anyone, but the thought. struck me that any farmer who built. this fence in the same way that Mr Boynron built mine, was making a big mistake If Frank had not given himself away ’ very few people Would have known who built the fence. I did not even mention his name in connection with the matter. He says he can make the fence secure I Why did he not. do it for me '3 He got his own price for the jt-b But no. Frank’s motive seems to have been to make money too fast; chose Mlllté‘ calm day for the job ; rush on the work and get. out of the field h- iter the first puff of wind came to blow is over. T'ln- Binnohtrrd Bros. have put up a urea? tnanv rods of this fence in that Township of Vaughan. and I under- stand it remains firm Why is it? Simply because they put it up in al workmanlike manner. I have no doubt but the fence can be made secure by setting a post every few rods and anchâ€" oring the fence to it. but then the quesâ€" tion arises. is it the same fence ? This is all I have to say in regard to this matter, as my time will be occuâ€" pied in rebuilding this fence.
