Mr. Wheler was declared at the elections held on the 17th of Sept. last, the successful candidaté for the repiesentation of North Ontario in the federal parliament. Shortly after the election complaints came in thick and fast that Mr. Wheler bad gained his seat by the use of improper means; this induced the opponents of Mr. Wheler to have the matter brought before the proper tribunal and accordingly a protest 'was entered charging Mr. Wheler and his agents with corrupt prac tices of various kinds. The trial came up at Whitby on the 30th ult. before Mr. Justice Armour. Mr. McCarthy, Q. C. and Mr. Blackstock Being counsel for the petitioner, Mr. W. H. Gibbs; and Mr. Kerr.Q.C. and Mr. Spragge being counsel for the respondent, Mr. Wheler. The trial commenced on Thursday morning 30th ult, and closed on Seturday evening. No apology will be required for our taking up & large portion of our available space with a trial which interests the whole riding in a greater ov less degree. We attended the trial throughout and took down the evi- dence with some care and while with a view to economise our space we suppress the worthless portions of the evidence, we give everything that has any bearing on the case, whatever is likely to be interesting for the present or profitable for the future guidance and admonition of candidates and electors. All parties were fortunate: in the presiding Judge an active, able and impartial exponent of the law, while the counsel on either side were men of snperior professional abilities. 'The crowded court room proved the lively interest taken in the case. Every part of the County was repre- sented and very mang appeared in first rate fighting trim and only waited the slightest possible hint to sot them agoing; Port Perry had a flying column of daring skirmish- could be secured, "several hinted as much, dow' L u't remember al PA, Hurd--Immediately. after Wheler's nomination Paxton AT I could not afford to work for any man f LICERY FOR VOTELs.

Paxton on the rampage they took it to Mara und remained away five duys. To Mr. Kerr--This was a regular charge for a team five days at $4 a day. To Mr. McCarthy--Took an active part in the election, never charged any rig to Wheler on election day.

Geo.Thompson--To Mr. McCarthy --Livein Uxbridge, was scrutineer at the parliamentary election of Sept. 17--Know Widdifield heard him speak strongly and argue in favor of Wheler, he was serutincer for Wheler at the same polling place as I was scrutineer for Gibbs. $1,000, Paxton said he acceptable and hinted as to how much between Wheler and me, saw Me its way to Toronto, talked over matters with him, said the active exertiol of two men in N.

That McCulloch complained of an attempt on the nart, in fact in and around Beaverton many of Wheler's supporters appeared to put their whole confidence of success, in the potent influence of the bottle, and they plied their craft with a ven- geance.
