the whisieysellers will how gite up the fighlaa respect the law praise god prom whozn all blessings flow the conflict against the attempts repeal of the scott act in haitonvos brought to its final issue on tuesday and resulted in a glorious victory for the supporters of the act the contest was not fooglit in the interest of acton alone as the whole do minion was effected by the result and the battlewas consequently a most important toe immense significance being placed upon the verdict of the people of this coantv slter two yearstrial of the act the friends of both sides of the question were fully cognizant of the importance of the contest and each put forth every effort to ensure victory the acts supporters had great odds to fight against the liquor manufacturers feeling that theircraf t was in danger centered their whole influence an halton and it is an open secret that the scott act party had not only to contend with a large brigade of distillers brewers and hotelkeepers but with an extensive fund furnished by these men for bribery purposes on the other hand the temper ance people v a very perfect organization being able to enlist into active and practi cal service it much larger number of work ers than their opponents ocrald bribe to do the work of the campaign this and the fact that the supporters of the act could conscientiously o into the contest with energy and honestly appeal to the consci ences of the electors while the influence exfirted on the other side was hi every way selfish degrading and in opposition to the better natures of thefee approached show very clearly how the victory was attained- it certainly speaks volumes for the inoor- rughhla character of the electors of halton that they withstood the temptation bf the liberal bribery offered and expressed their opinion fairly and squarely upon the merits of tne question as we have before stated in all her history halion has never tiken a retrograde step and the result of the contest in this important election proves very satisfactorily that she is ndt yet pre pared to blemish her clean and honorable record in april 1881 the act was carried fay a majority of 61 on tuesday in face of an active strenuous and by no means scrupulous opposition this majority was increased by over a hundred votes the toronto world thus views the matter as it now stands j that the majority of people in halton areinfarorof the continuation of the scott act that adjoining hd other counties not only in ontario but throughout ne do minion will now adopt the act and there by increase the chances of proving the experiment a success that the liquor interest pat their best and strongest forces forward in a compact territory and were defeated that the people are in favor of still further regulation of the liquor business of regulating it out of existence whenever that is possible that the dominion government by rais ing the question of jurisdiction in the matter of licenser pd still further by increasing the places where liquor is sold as has been the result of their contention is taking a position against the wishes of the people the civs pboceeliisgs inacton the interest in the election was only manifested daring the day by the activity of the leaders in bringing out the eleciori and so thoroughly was this work performed that at the close of the poll onlj three possible votes remained unre corded- as the hour of five oclock ap preached excitement began to wax warmer and before the ballots had been counted a large number of people had congregated at the polling places eagerly awaiting the re sult at 520 p m the state of the poll in acton was announced and presented a most favorable showing for the friends of the act against the repeal verifying the figures of the committee to within a coiiple of votes this carried consternation into the camp of the antis as they felt and had freely expressed themselves confi dent that the majority here would not ex ceed 10 or 12 shortly after this the re tains began to come m from other polling places and the telegraph office was besieged by the anxious ones of both parties all the places unfavorable to the act seetos to 1 be reported first and the antis for a time felt not a little jubilant bat in a little while the majorities against the petition were announced and by naif past eight it wm evident that the act had been sustain ed by an increased majority from this time forth the temperance party was left almost exclusively in possession of the telegraph office and there were very few of their opponents tpjbe seen anywhere never was more interest exhibited by the people of this municipality on any public qnflrtjon during the evening will street in the vicinity of the telegraph office densely crowded and

known in the united states the state reports estimate the yield of win ter wheat at 380000000 ando spring wheat 150000000 of bushels but this is thought to be somewhat of an overesti mate the united states whiskey distilleries have been putting to the feet their plan of exporting whiskey to canada in bond in order to avoid paying the canadian dutr and then n bringing it back to the united states rlairnfo that it had been exported and need not pay the united states excise duty the united states government re fuses to assist in the scheme to cheat itself and will give up concocting schemes at once and turn their attention to something more profitable public opinion is against free whiskey at all events and no govern ment will dare to oppose it when aroused if you want a nobby durable and cheap suit j fyfefl k the place to go we confidently believe that had the vote been honestly polled upon the merits of the question the majority would have reached 500 election xoras- ariqns majority was raised from 2 at last election to 10 a gain of z3 the vote polled in acton on the first occasion was li8 votes while on tuesday the number was 165 all honor to our worthy citi zens a wellkiiown gentleman from guelph was heard to remark when actons ma jority was announced that he had always entertained a very high opinion of acton and its moral standing but the place had raised 50 per cent in his estimation good order was maintained during the day not a drunken man was to be seen and scarcely an oath heard dublin ward deserves very much credit for its showing having decreased the ma jority against the act nearly twenty good solid work was performed by the temper ance party in both dublin and acton the scott act party have reason for con gratulating themselves upon the clean and uncorrupt character of their side of- this election xot a dollar is known to have been expended by them for auy thing forbiddtn by the law in this relation xeahy every municipality in the county was visited on the day of election by crowds t of men interested in the liquor business they came to make votes and celebrate their victory but they failed to connect in either at hilton we are creditably informed that the antis had seeuville band in town to be in readiness to celebrate the overthrow of the scott act they were not called out however the coffins prepared and the pallbear ers engaged by the whiskey ring at hilton to be used in the burying of the scott act and eevjd l brethour were decided to be unnecessary and were consequently not put into service in toronto the excitement was about equal to that of a general election like wise also in many other cities and corns in the dominion the maairy says a gualph hotel keeper reviewed the matter as follows well it dont make any difference to me as i have only the furniture in the house and can move to some other place bat i wouldnt like to own hotel property in guelph after this telegrams asking the result of the elec tion were received from every part of the dominion as far west as british columbia and as far east as st johns kb warm and hearty congratulations private and public are now pouring in from all quaxtert halton has now without doubt fought its last election against the whiskey demon we have no doubt the conquered host will now lay down their weapons and become peaceable and lawrespecting residents of the county from the inauguration of this campaign every temperance man in the county has shown himself cognizant of the respdnsi- bilityresting upon him and exerted him- self accordingly to give special credit therefore to any individuals would appear inviduous however we cannot refrain from congratulating the members of the central committee upon the result of their arduous labors and we honestly believe that the success of the contest is veryj largely due to the perfect organization of the temperance workers effected by mr w- g fee and t the superintendence of the work of the central committee by be vs xl c cameron d l brethour and mr wm brothers and on behalf of the friends of the act in the county we tender these gentlemen heartfelt thanks for their effici ent and successful

yesterday they fought a vigorous campaign against thoroughly organized op ponents the repeal vote was unfairly hurried on by the dominion authorities the opponents of the measure concentrated their energies and resources put their ablest men on the stump and sent ont their shrewdest canvassers in order to kill the act this county that they might have an effective argument to use against its adoption in the other counties of the dominion where it is being agitated they failed and by their failure put an effective weapon into the hands of the friends of the measure for use in future
