In the " triangular election," of 1870 Mr. Myles polled 800 votes, and in 1883 he polled over 1400 votes-- itf fact less than a hundred votes changed in his favor would have elected him. Twice- he was snubbed by the elector*) ; but with that persistence which has ever been a leadiug characteristic of this misguided man, he no sooner heard of the death of our late esteemed member, than buckling on his political armor, and brushing up the little knowledge he has of the great politi- cal questions of the day, he sallied forth into the field of battle, little dreaming of the terrible defeat he was i- a The Grtji Iteoiea says McCohnan "poor speaker," and Myles ii a ',">'xl speaker. If McColman had only ml what the Retitir reported him as having said, viz., "that he was sur- prised at the course events had taken, and said he wai a Conservative," wo unuld say the same. But there's in>t where the Review did not do Mr. MrColnum even scanty jnsticc. Mr. Mcl'oliuau had a great deal more to ii'iut the political questions of the 1 iy than Mr. Myles ; aud he showed himself better informed on those questions than tho redoubtable Robert, whoso speech consivted principally uf c'i:irse wit and contemptible personal 'illusions. When a paper pretends to give a i "I'-n-t of a public meeting, it should ."V.- it as correctly as possible. Last xvi'fk'.- (iffy Ilevieu) represents Mr. J. I. Middloton as saying in his speech i Nomination day, " they might liuvo a representative of bone and miKclo in McColman, but did not think much of hia capacity in the management of die affairs of Col- 'lingwood Township," Ac. Now, Mt. Mnldk'ton did not express his own oiiiiiioii as to how " the affairs of ( .llinwood Township" were man- i hy Nfil McColman at all ; in lu-t he rather complimented that / ntlcioan than otherwise. Hut he did say, that, /row. what Mr. Rarkr. ! i I mid in hi* specoh, he " did not tliink much of IMS capicity, in the ttunagcmcnt ofthe affair!} of Colling- V., -",<! Township," &c. Personally he f sitnl McColman. bad always been good I i.-nds. We tnwt the Rtvitm will be careful how it reports such in future.. The result of Tuesday's polling has been a rough surprise to Mr. P.obert Myles and his friends throughout the East Riding of Grey. " McColman is a weak candidate," said Myles ; " McColman 13 a weak mini," echoed Mylcs' followers. And sure they all were that Mylts would defeat McCol- man,, " wid the greatest of aise." And not a stone was left unturned to secure the Liberal Conservative can- didate's defeat. The riding was can- vassed from one end to the other ; vile, trashy doggerel, reflecting on Mr. McCohnau's private and public character was scattered broad-cast ; and all sorts of villainous reports were circulated concerning the char- acter of the man chosen, by the largest and most intelligent Conser- vative convention ever held in East Grey, as the standard-bearer of tlm party. Every means fair and foul- was used to secure the election of that MfOMipM political adventurer, Robt. Miles, whose coarse wit and nusccmly language on tho hustings was enough to poison tlic atmosplicu-, let nloiie ensure his defeat at the hands of an enlightened and intelli- gent electorate. But all in vain were the efforts of Mr. McColinan's traduccrs. The electors were not to be bull-dozed, aud they admiuistercd such a rebuke to Mylcs as that gentleman will not soon forget, by returning Mr. McColm&n by the over- whelming majority of 575. The following (official) telegram was handed in to us on Wednesday even- ing by Mr. Wm. Richardson : Owen Sound, March 19th, To MR. WM. RICHARDSON : Majority for McColman 575 ; one ward from Euphrasia to hoar from. (' I W. J. HKLLAMY. Mr. McColman 's splendid majority in the Township of Osprey must be gratifying to every true Liberal Con- servative. Mr. Myles and his friends expected to carry the Tovnship by storm. Of course the electors of Os- prey could not help hut be carried away by such a brilliant star on the political horizon as Mylcs I Dut alus, alas ! how arc the mighty fallen. Holland Township was also ex- pected to -,'ive Myles a majority ; and here, a.- lin, Myles was "counting his chickcui before they were hatched." Holland pave McColman nearly a hundred of a majority. Proton was also counted in by the false prophet and (his followers ; aud Colliugwood Township should have given Myles an overwhelming majority according to that gentleman's own infallible judge- ment. Artcmcsia, ovon, was expected to " (lop over " and put the redoubt- able Robert at the head uf the poll. Of course Euphrasm, Myles' own Township, was expected to give him Had Myles culti- . \i-i lli-iit natural about to sustain. vated the really abilities he possesses ; had he been faithful and true to his originally pro- fussed political Ivrinciplcs; bud he learned to t iv.itf ii opponents, on the platform, with common courtesy ; and had ho indulged less iu coane, vulgar witticisms, and low personalities, he might possibly have been able to write M.P.P. after his name ero this. Hut he has abused his abilities ; he has lici-n unstable and wayward in hia political views ; has tieated his oppo- nents in the most discourteous man- ner on the public platform ; and has been guilty of language totally unbe- coming an individual Becking the suf- rages of an intelligent electorate. And the electors have, figuratively speaking, cuffed his cars soundly for lis presumption. Mr. McColman may well be proud I the splendid vote polled in bis favor >y the electors of Hast Grey. It was what he had a right to expect, how- 'ver, considering the man who oppos- d him ; and from the time the Con- servative convention chose Mr. Mc- \iliiiuii as their standard-bearer, we tad no fears as to the result. We will give a tabulated statement of the votes polled in each Township II our next issue. 1,1 MB at least two hundred majority I Myles reasoned something in this wny " Now, in the election of 1883 I came within 160 or so of beating Mr. I ,:u id. i a muc! i more popular man than this McColman and I am sure McColman will not take within hundred of as many votes as Mr. why he'll be beaten m his own Township as sure ai pop, to start with ; then it must be conceded that I have gained in popularity i phew ! ) since latt year ; then there's WM.
