The Wlhit'ney Government is popular, .no matter what the other gparty may say about it, and the time has come When the independ- ent voters will support a good 'c1-ean, honest administration, inde- 3pen1d~ent of their party affiliations. Some of Mr. 'Cal'der’s supporters. with more rasihness than good judo'm-ent. helped in .his overthrow. lThe little yarn that was ooncocted gabout Whitney being drunk while ill] Durham was known (to be a d9- lliberate lie, and was, no doubt. detrimental to Mr. Calder’s suc- leess. That poster, now known as “the document ” intended to dam- age Dr. Jamieson’s candidature, and eent broadcast without a sig- nature, or even The publisher’ 3 imâ€" print. made supporters for the man it was intended to injure. Again, we firmly believe that the Durham Review did him more harm than good in the way it con- ducted the campaign. We know that Mr. Ramage meant well, and we would like to be charitable enough to think he would fight fair. but we do think (he did not. use good judgment in some of his remarks. All parties having accounts with me for binder twine and re- pairs are requested to call at my office and settle at onceâ€"A. B. McLellan, Durham. 2 Apart from the short time Mr. Calder had to work there were other factors that led to his de-' feat. Dr. Jamieson is a strong man politically, and in addition to ; Conservative voters, he \has': many Reform friends who assist in electing him to office. no matter; who the opposing candidate may{ At time of~.writi‘n,g, the official returns are not in. and rather than give uncertain results, We hold off the tabulated statement until next issue. The majority for Dr. Jamieson will be somewhere between 350 and 400, but we are not certain as to the exact figures. The latest to date are 353. There were disappointments on both sides. The Liberals counted from 200 to 250 in Han-over, and when the returns were announced that «Calder had 44 of a majority. the hopes of the party must have received an awful shock. In the Holstein Ward the Conservatives were disappointed when Calder’s maiority ‘of 4'2 came over the wire. On the wihole, however, a major-e ity for J ami-eson, of between three and four hundred by those who knew best the political complexion of the constituency, was about the maiority expected. The Review will give a number of reasons this week why Mr. Calâ€" der was defeated. The dhjef cause of his defeat is because he didn’t get votes enough: this reason may be overlooked by the Review. so we merely mention it in passing. Mr. Calder had only a short time to prosecute his canvass, aan that mav have been detrimental to his success. He is well known in the constituency, how-ever, and for some time his name :has been men-â€" tioned as a probable candidate, and further than that he was one of the «strongest men of the party. and made a bold fight [during the time at his disposal. i The Ontario elections are over a- gain and the ‘Wthitney Government has been sustained with very little change in its majority. When the House dissolved a few weeks ago there were 87 Conservatives out of a membership «of 106. The new House according to the returns from Monday’s voting will have about 8'2 Conservatives, 22 Liber- als. and '2 Independents. The reâ€" sult has not been an unexpected one. The Whitney administration. notwithstanding the efforts of the Liberal Press and the Liberal cam- paigners to discredit it has met with the approval of the electors and the party goes back to power with renewed confidence and a clean record. In this constituency the election went as most people expected. We do not think that Mr. Calder. him- self expected victory when be ac- cepted the nomination. He, no doubt, hoped to reduce Dr. Jamie- son’s majority so as “to make South Grey a good fighting ground for a ii‘ueral in the next contest. DR. JAMIESON ELECTED MAJORITY OVER 350 DURHAM. 0NT.. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14,1911. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Ayers. of Mt. Clemens. Michigan are spendâ€" ing a few days at the Hahn House. Mr. Ayers was born in this town on the 19th of January 1862 and left with his parents when he was about two years of age for the state of Michigan. He has not been back since. He was anxiouS- if possible. to see the house he was born in. and began to make enquiries this morning. Ye Edit- or was “pleased to render what assistance he could, and made enquiry of Mr. John McKedhnie, who at once remembered his father Benjamin Ayers, who was an in- timate trien'd of the Barnes who was shot (here many years ago- The widow of Barnes being a sister of Mrs. David Sharpe, led to an interview with Mrs. Sharp. who gave full particulars and gratified Mr. Ayers’ curiosity by showing him the house he was born in. a very unpretentious litâ€" tle edifice in lower town. now occupied by Mrs. Charles Harvey. Mr. Ayers intends to get a phOto- graph of the house, which he will doubtless appreciate for the re- mainder of his life. The population of Durham in the 1901 census is officially given as 1424. In 1911, this year we are down for 1579, or a gain in ten years of 155. During some of the intervening years. the popuâ€" lation as shown by the municipal census Went up to seventeen or eighteen lhundred, but this was during the building of the cement mill. From the time tche C. P. R. was completed, the population settled down to normal, and has. we believe, stood between fifteen and sixteen hundred ever since. a young. spirited steer, slipped on the cement floor of the stable. and fell against Mr. Lawrence’s leg. fracturing both bones. Dr. D. B. Jami-eson set the limb, and it is confidently expected Mr. LaWrence will be around again in reasonable time, notwithstanding the fact that he is 77 years of age. Rev. Du (C. McGregor, formerly of Orillia, delivered an excellent temperance address here on \Ved- nesday evening.

The Whitney Government is working towards its defeat. The Opposition gained four since the election four years ago. At the same rate of going it will take sixtyâ€"one years before the change com-es. Then the editor of the Mt. Forest Confederate will be a happy man. “Me, too!” says the editor of the RevieW. Mr. Calder is one of " the best men in South Grey to take atrim- ming. Even the 'day after the election he was going round just as though nobody had hit him. He didn’t look half as blue as some of the fellows who were betting 0 n him. The band hasn’t been very gen- erous to the Conservatives during the past two elections. They’ll begin the New Year by being gen- erous to everybody. The “document” says Jamieson never did anything. He turned over a new leaf last Monday and he did something. May he keep on doing something. A. Bentinck man, on learning that Hanover gave Mr. Calder only -14 of a majority‘ very piously re- marked over the telephone that Hanover had gone to the D-Eâ€"V-E-L, The CtOnISeI‘VatiVeS have a better Opinion than that. They think Hanover did nobly. Some opponents of Dr. Jamieson 3 got one of his supporters loadedi with Whisky on election day, and a business man who will soon won- der why this patronage is falling off. loaded the drunken man into his buggy, «drove him out to the cemetery and left him there, think- inr); he would miss his vote. A couple of other citizens, learning of the trick, drove out, brought the nian back and had his vote re- corded in time. As the majority for the Dr. was over 35 , this Graveyard Bob would have to make a good many successful at- tempts of the kind in order to floor the Doctor. §§§z§§§§§§+§066060 +¢¢+¢+¢ §§Oz§+§+§§§§ #69095 90009 9}.
