The nomination of candidates for the next Dominion Parliament took place June 16th in-all-the constituen- cies except Algoma, where the nom- inations Were held last. week. The excitement, was intense at some of the gatherings, and, as will be seen from the report of the proceedings, there were very few elections by acclama- tion. At the nominations on Februar 26th, 1891, for the last general elec tions, eight Conservatives and three Liberals were returned unopposed. Tuesday, in only four constituencies were the members returned by ac- clamation. These were Frontenac, Ont., D. Rodgers, Patron; Bagot, Que., '. Dupont, Conservative; Bertiler, Que., ©, Beansolell, formerly a Lib- eral, but now a supporter of the Gov- ernment; and St. Hyacinthe, Que. M. G. Bernier, Liberal. The elections will take place Tuesday next, June 23rd. NORTH PERTH. Stratford, June 16.--Never in the history of elections in North Perth, has there been so little interest manifested in apy election as at this oue. Both parties say they are work- ing hard, but there seems to be an utter lack of enthusiasin on both sides, Old political war horses who have had a hand in almost every fight here- abouts siftce Confederation, both in the Reform and Conservative ranks, appear to be doing nothing by way of arousing the electors, There may bea strong undercurrent at work on both sides that is net visible on the surface, but even this is yery questionable, . At the nomination proceedings to day in the City Hall, at which teturning Otlicer Benneweis presided, there were barely two dozen present. The nom- ination papers of A. F. MacLaren, Liberal-Conservative candidate: and James N. Grieve, Liberal candidate, were presented by their respective agents, accompanied by the statutory deposit of $200 each.
