oat In a new election A cablegram from London Eng land on Wednesday announced the startling intelligence that Sir John Thompson Premier of Canada while at luncheon with the Marquis of and other guests at Windsor Cattle died suddenly from heartfail ure During that morning he had been sworn in a member of Privy Council in the presence of several Cabinet Ministers In the afternoon he went lo Windsor accompanied by the Marquis of Ripen Mr Henry Fowler Secre- State for India and Mr Arnold Motley General and was to hive remained there over night as the of Her Majesty While at luncheon he was suddenly ill Dr Ellison surgeoninordinary to the Queens household at Windsor was immediately summoned but Sir John was dead before the doctor ar rived- The news of the Premiers sudden and unexpected demise came with slanting effect Without to party or sect a painful sense of gloom and sadness everywhere prevailed as was evidenced by the very general ex pressions of regret to which utterance was given as lacked about the event on the streets in the post office over the store counter In fact everywhere a fceling which seemed to intensify later on in the day ithtn the circumstances surrounding the untoward event became more general ly known Death came to him while the ffush of new honors were being added to previous laurels and as people realized this and remarked that since last general election Sir John A and Sir J Abbott predecessors in the office of Minister f Canada had also been called to give an account of their stewardship sorrow for the countrys loss and sympathy for the bereaved family and intimate friends pervaded the minds of the community general- Wc have not space this week for any obituary and it is too soon to speak with any degree of certainty respecting the effect politically which the event will hive upon the or the party to which the deceased Premier was the acknowledged leader Surmises arc rife as to his successor but all is pure speculation up to the prcsert Hon Mackendc Bo well- Sir Charles his son Sir Hon Geo Foster Hon John and others are mentioned tots connection but nothing is definitely known and will not be till Ministers can assemble to gether and have a conference A week from next Monday will be Nomination Day and candidates for the suffrages of the people are fi ning to loom up Kino So far as we can learn the old Council will seek reelection We also hear that Mr W P Pearson will be nominated as Councillor represent the part of the Township He a good man and it is said that he has consented to run Reeve Stokes says this will be

a probable candidate as Councillor East The tight has already begun in this Township Mr who has so long held the fort against opposition will require to measure his strength against Mr John A close election may be expected Mr is in the field for 1st Deputy but we have not heard about other candidates North We know nothinic of this Township except what our correspondents have been hinting at for a couple of weeks Evidently municipal matters are brew ing and the electors will have the usual fight the first Monday in Jan Municipal matters in this township arc growing lively the present is opposing Mr McDonald for the both good men and is hard to say which will get there There are three in the Held for Deputy Messrs W lithe J Kay and Johnson all members of the present Council There are no nanus mentioned yet for Council lors but Nomination Day will bring the usual amount of candidates is a pity that there should be any contest between McDonald and Mcltllan as the Township will feel
