We heard long ago that Mr. Hughes. when he came to Lindsay, tried to buy THE POST, and finding it was not for sale, but that the Warder was, pur‘ chased the latter and turned tory; and it now turns out that what we heard was perfectly true. According to the Watch- man, Sam had some compunctions about flopping over so suddenly; but “it was a question of of money with him.” he said, and he flopped. We are inclined to think that he is not the stuff successful candi- datesare made of. Other men have changed sides in ooliiics. either conscientiously or i i for “money," and have not into parliament; but they have not studiously and wantonly insulted Catholics, Methodists and Presby- .tariane, and have not “stood alone in the distribution of filth,” as Sam Hughes has. Possibly he simply wishes to become a defeated candidate, asit will give him a certain claim on the Dominion government. It so, he is almost certain to have his wish. But suppose the Dominion government be defeated, too! [From the Fenelon Falls Gazette] The campaizn is being vigorously prose- cuted, and from all parts of the riding come the most cheering assurances of a large majority for Mr. John A. Barron: who has proved to be the most active and useful representative North Victoria has ever had. Wherever he goes his good humor and urbanity as well as his argu- ments increase his already great popularity, while Sam Hughes is making a. tool of himself, as usual, by his slanderous attacks upon his opponents, his irritability and splenetic utterances. At Balsover, the other evening, Mr. Jonathan Folllotte, a well-known and respected resident at the vicinity, and a local preacher, asked Mr. Hughes what he would do about the pro- hibition petition now in circulation. Sam tried to avoid giving a direct answer by saying that he had not made up his mind as to what he would do; but, upon being Dressed by Mr. Folliotte, at last said:â€" “Show me the petition. and I’ll tell you in ten seconds whatl'll do.” As Mr. Folliotte had not got the petition and could not show it, the matter dropped; but next day at Klrkfield it was spoken of, and Mr. Hughes coolly remarked, with his usual . disrezard for consequences. that Mr. Folli- ‘ otte was “slippery Methodist and a dâ€"d f hypocrite!” Anywhere and everywhere, in 1 print and out of it, Mr. Barron’s self- 1 constituted opponent is the same old I unsavory Sam, heaping insult and abuse 1 t l. on all who in any way ofi’end him.

In the north riding Mr. Barron has been carrying on a vigorous and successful campaign in the way of public meetings and organization, and the prospects are excellent, but he has a reckless and un- ‘ scrupulous opponent, who will hesitate at nothing to secure a vote or traduce Mr. Barron.

They do not like the idea. of having a. public servant like Tupper brought here to bulidoze them. and the feeling among the farmers is such that many predict a "landslide” such as that which buried the republicans and combinesters of the United States in November. WHAT WILL THE VERDICT BE ? It is considered most extraordinary that Sir John Macdonald can find nobody to take the stump for him in Ontario but the head and founder of the greedy Tupper familyâ€"the man who draws $15,000 a year from the Dominion treasury for acting the part of olitical heeler. Mr. Meredith and his to owers in the Ontario legislature refuse to be‘dragooned into working for the aggrandizement of Messrs. Tupper Sons. This is highly significant. All the Dominion ministers are fightinifor their political lives. Mr. Carling is li ely ‘ to be beaten in London. and Sir ohn Mac- donald’s chances in Kin ton are very slim. Sir Adolphe Caron as been driven out of his old constituency, and is in search of a resting place. Sir Hector Langevin is trying to find a safer seat than Three Rivers.

Bright Prospects for [Reform and Bed- p maltyâ€"Tho Tory Ministers Dooponto â€"Tne“1'reaaon" Shouts. ‘ The outlook for a. grand liberal victory ‘grmvs brighter and brighter every day. The farmers are demanding reciprocity all along 'he line, and the tory ministers hav- ing abandoned their pretence of reciprocity and gone in for a. campaign of “treason” and monopoly now find that it is not tak- ing and are in a. state of desperation. Sir ‘ Charles Tapper has hurried down to the maritime provinces to trv to save the remains of the party. The Hamilton vote for Gibson has fallen upon them with a. “sickening thud.” The liberals have made a capital begin- ning taking yesterday three elections by acclamation to one tory, and one independ- ent, who will go with the liberals. Follow- ing are the elections by acclamation : A Splendid Beginningâ€"Three Liberals to One Tory by Acclannuon. The nominations for the commons took place yesterday. In South Victoria the proceedings were merely formal. There was no public meeting. .u-c- c...u. pected on the 5th of March. This tre- mendous triumph of the reform party will give a big boom to the prospects of the liberal candidates in the Dominion elec- tionsâ€"not only in Hamilton. but through- outpthe province. Nothing succeeds like success, and the moral power of a victory like Hamilton will give new courage to workers, decide the wavering and solidify the ranks of liberals, who will be greatly cheered by the prestige of the present as the omen of future success. Let liber- als everywhere gird on their armour ‘ afresh, and put forth every nerve from now. The time for argument will soon be over, and the hour for hard work is at hand. No vote is good unless it is polled. See that it is polled, and polled early.

Tradels languishing,oa_tln¢.and_altl_1ouxh this constituency have been hoping that some other candidate than Mr. Hughes would have been brought out by the conservatives. I do not say anything as to Mr. Hughes's attacks on the Roman Catholics, though I think them uncalled for. and especially his disgusting state- ments about Catholic women, and his slauders about the priests. The Catholics 1 can take care of themselves. and it there are any of them going to vote for Mr. Hughes why let them. That is more than any Protestant would do it similar attacks were made on us and our wives. or mothers, and our clergyman were slander.- ed in a similar way. But we Protestants cannot look without alarm upon Mr. Hughes's assaults upon religion of any kind and every kind. He has frequently declared in his paper and otherwise that “he dld not care a dâ€"m tor the religious side of the bloody thing" and he upholds and glorlflee Buddhism, Mahommedaniem and other isms as equal to it not better than our Christianity. I happened to be in a leading Protestant church in Lindsay some time ago and was surprised to hear the elcouent young minister declare that that it he had a family there was one paper in town (meaning the Warder) that he would not allow into the house. (i was surprised at the minister's courage. because he may expect a bitter personal attack from the Warder some of these days.) How can we vote for a man who is constantly running down the Christian religion? As an Orangeman he ought to uphold religion; but we know he is a new- made member-and one for revenue only. His remark some days ago in the presence of several respected citizens that a citizen of excellent character, a GodJearing and just man, was “a slippery Methodist and a dâ€"d hypocrite," because he did not happen to chime in with the mad he (Mr. Hughes) wasjust than playing, shows his true color and what he would do. But his violent assaults upon our respected Brother Dewey showed his recklessness and malice. We should be on our guard against such a man. He should not have our support. Mrrnomer.
