Ou Thursday last Mr. Cargiil, the Conservative can- didate, was returned by the small majority of 10. A recount has bou demanded. In North Victoria Mr. Darrou (Reformer I secured the seat at last year's election by 20*2 of a majority, but on Thursday last the verdict was reversed, giving Mr. Hughes (Conservative) a majority of Liu. South Victoria rt-leotud a Conservative, as also did Kn.st Mid- dlesex, and Halifax (two members). Peel re-elected Mr. Feiithmtone (Re- former) by au iucieased majority over list year. Ou Friday Mr. Ingram, Conservative candidate in Hast Klgin. was re-elected by a majority of 49 J, bis former majority having been only 40 This was a phenomenal gain. Saturday resulted in tliu ret ini of Dowers, the Hi-form member forDi^by, N. 8., and F. W. Uordi-n, Linn-ill, fir KiiitfM, N'. S. Thus, to i i|'itul.Ue, out of twelve- cotiBlitnoii cics in v.

No doubt the Confederate will be very in Cresting hereafter. It will probably pay lunch attention to goremmcnt pots.pans, kettles.and kindred weighty nibjects, The Montreal Witness (independent Libi-rall sayg : "The whole direction of the public opinion, which seems everywhere setting toward the govern- ment again, is amazing." The Wit- ness also affirms that never since 1878 was the Conservative party so strong in tie country as it is to-day. The Globe is frantically endeavor- ing these- days to extract a morsel of comfort from "THE EUROPEAN SITUATION," '' NEWS Ir'KOM WASHINGTON," " OOSSIP OF OLD LONDON," etc., in lieu of what might have been hud the elections only resulted other- wise. Sir John Thompson, Hon. Geo. E. Foster and Hon. Mackenzie Dowell have been in Washington during the past week opening negotiations with Secretary Blaiue with a view to se- curing reciprocal trade relations with the United States. Tlio conference lias ended and the deputation will re- turn homo this week. What the re- sult has been will, of course, not be made public for a few days. The Globe of Monday claimed the result to be wholly void of fruit and entirely unsuccessful. But then the Globe announced this as the inevitable re- sult long before negotiations were en- tered upon, aud that paper has, with others, by its evident desire to make a present of this entire country to the Americans, created an almost unsurmounuble barrier to the acquir- ing of anything like fair play to Can- ada in the negotiations now ponding. This paper has sufficient confidence in the pr. sent government of Canada to feel usiiircd that any arrangements entered into by it with our brcthurou to the south of in with regard to a treaty of leciprocity will be oue of ad vantn-e. to Canada, or nothing at all. If negotiations should fall tiirougli tl e great iiiHjoiitr of our people will nnilei stand perfectly woll tlu^why and when-fore, and where to place tho lUllK. .. Visit to Dundalk.
