He is now able to sit up, but it will take some weeks before it will be safe for him to venture out. 26 may 1882 Mrs. H Tennant left with her family to go to her new home in Goderich Ontario Wednesday last. 2 June 1882-The West Lynne Brewery Company have now dissolved partnership.

Although a strong Conservative Mr. Tennant will not run on party grounds, but will support all measures attempting to the good of the province, independent of politics. If he is elected he will be the first local man that will have received the honor and responsibility of such a position. 2 December 1882 Mr. Henry Tennant is about to rent the West Lynne Brewery to Mr. J Boofe, the present brewer in charge. 15 Dec. 1882 Mr. H. Tennant's straightforward address to the electors of this division appears in another column and is well worthy of consideration. 15 Dec. 1882-H.

He feels assured that his friends will continue their work on his behalf, and he has no reason to doubt it for although necessity forces him to be absent for a time, numerous friends have already called upon him to confirm by personal statements their confidence in him and their determination to trust their interests in his hands to protect and guard in the next Legislature. 15 Dec. 1882-We have to deny the statements, made that on the delicate state of his health Mr. Tennant would not contest this constituency. Mr. Tennant will remain in the field until the close of the polls on Election Day and it is safe to predict that the sterling worth of the man, will cause him to be elected by a handsome majority, provided his opponents have not retired previous to then and allow him to be elected by acclamation. If the opponents of Mr. Tennant have no other fault to find with him than the state of his health, their cause is indeed hopeless. 15 Dec. 1882-The friends of Henry Tennant are called upon to use every fair effort to advocate his candidature in the election. Fear not, but go in for what your worth. 15 Dec. 1882-Be not deceived H. Tennant is in the field and remains there until the close of the polls on Election Day. The only election dodge his opponents can find to use against him is to be continually repeating he has retired. His character is irreproachable. 15 Dec. 1882 + more-To the electors of the Electoral Division of Morris. Gentlemen - having been' requested by a large number of both English and French electors of the different portions of this division to present myself as' a candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming Provincial election, I could not but except with pleasure the requisition representing the feeling of the different elements of which this constituency is composed. If elected I would do my utmost to maintain the Manitoba Act, as it is, for it guarantees justice to all. That knowing the rights of the Province, I could not in any way vote against any measure that would bring about the abolition of the dual languages, because that is a solemn act which must be respected. Upon the questions which are affecting the people of this province just now, I state that I am strongly in favor of using all possible constitutional means, in order to secure to this province her undeniable rights of legislating within her limits on all railway matters. Southern Manitoba does not claim any special privileges as against other portions of the province, but at the same time, there is a just feeling existing throughout Southern Manitoba that more branch lines of railway should be constructed, and that our vested interests should be respected, as well as those of the other portions of the province. This is the stand I will take upon these questions, which I consider, of the most vital importance for this constituency in particular and the whole Provinceat large. In conclusion I desire to say to the electors that no efforts of mine will be spared towards harmonizing the interests of the different portions of the Division, and rest assured I will stand by this public pledge. Kindly asking for your cordial support to secure my election. I remain, Yours Respectfully, H. TENNANT. 22 Dec. 1882-STAND BY. YOUR LOCAL MAN~ Mr. Harry Tennant in this election should command success for the best of reasons - that he has deserved it. A man of the people, he has been the same today, yesterday and always, and no elector can charge that the grasp of his hand is any warmer or more unaccustomed in election times, than before he had any idea of being dragged out as a candidate. Mr. Tennant should be supported as a local man, not only because he has proved his usefulness in the community, because he has proven himself worthy of the confidence of his fellow men, and because when elected, the voters, English and French will know that they can rely upon him to do that which is honest, right and true. He has a personal record to which to appeal, and it is one that need not make him ashamed to meet his fellow citizens, and we have no doubt that the???? 22 Dec. 1882 Mr. Henry Tennant of West Lynne, is the popular candidate in the Electoral Division of Morris. Mr. Tennant has for an opponent, Geo. Wilde whose singular address was referred to yesterday, F.A. Martin is also in the field, but M. Martin is not likely to persist in running. The electors of Morris cannot perform a better act than by electing Mr. Tennant, who is well known as one of the pioneer settlers of Southern Manitoba, and one of the first citizens of West Lynne. Mr. Tennant's address appears in the latest number of the West Lynne TIMES and in reference to the immediate subject he says:- "Upon the questions that are affecting the people of this Province just now, I state that I am strongly in favor of using all possible constitutional means in order to secure to this Province her undeniable rights of legislating within her limits in all railway matters" - Mr. Tennant is a liberal Conservative in politics but has a hearty support from all creeds and shades of political thought within the division. (BRANDON MAIL) 22 Dec. 1882 Mr. Tennant' 'has many claims to the support and confidence of his fellow citizen's, and they are not the claims of to day or yesterday. They were established in his career as a private citizen, and when he had not the remotest idea of ever presenting himself as a claimant for the suffrages of his fellow citizens as a candidate for the Legislature. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and those who have known Mr. Tennant as a private citizen, knew him as a man of worth and integrity, who is always the same today as yesterday, and who has always been ready to lend a helping hand to a neighbor who needed it. Between himself and the other claimants for the honor of representing the constituency there ought not to be a question as to whom the majority of the ratepayers ought to support A local man with large interests, his own interests cannot be served without the benefit of his constituents. Speaking both languages, he can fairly and well represent both elements of the constituency. His honor and probity as a man are unchallenged. He is neither the candidate of a creed, a class or a clique. A plain man of the people, he comes forward and asks the support of those who know him and who have with him have been the pioneers of the prosperity of the country, and he can do so knowing that no man can lay a finger on a single act of his which has not been for the advancement of the community. We believe that the good sense of the county, and their regard for what is honest and loyal and true, will make Mr. Tennant's election something beyond a doubt. 22 Dec. 1882 Mr. Henry Tennant the popular candidate for Morris will return about the third prox. In the meantime " Be watchful and beware." 22 Dec. 1882-H. Tennant Esq. left on Monday last for a visit to his family at Goderich Ontario. We wish him a pleasant trip and safe return. 29 Dec. 1882-It is stated: on good authority that the French will do their duty and support Mr. Henry Tennant, let us do ours. Mr. Tennant depends on the French and English vote of Union Point, St. Jean Baptiste, St. Joseph, Two Points, St. Pie, West Lynne and Emerson for his election. 29 Dec. 1882-The people of West Lynne, we have no doubt, have made up their minds to elect Mr. Henry Tennant as their representative. We have nothing against Mr. Wilde except that as he comes out as a local man from Morris; here he counts for a strong vote; he cannot be at the same time a local man from West Lynn. The Emerson people who have a vote in West Lynne should on this occasion give West Lynne the proof of their being ready to work in harmony with us, by supporting our candidate Mr. Tennant. Emerson and West Lynne feel the necessity of unity to get railway communication with the West. They should feel the same necessity towards supporting one candidate. Mr. Tennant is not only a West Lynne man, but also a representative of the French, who will give almost a unanimous vote. Mr. Tennant was called east on very important family affairs, will be back on the 4th of January and goes to the poll in the morning and comes out first at 4 p.m. of the same day. 5 Jan 1883 Mr. Henry Tennant is expected home this evening and will attend a public meeting at St. Jean Baptiste on Monday next. 12 Jan 1883 Mr. Henry Tennant, now a conservative candidate for a Manitoba constituency and who last spring purchased the Best farm, was here for a week or two, but returned on Tuesday morning to push his canvass. His brother Mr. Joseph Tennant, editor of the West Lynne Man. Times, was also in town. The Messrs Tennant are among the most enterprising men in the live town of West Lynne- (Huron signal) 12 Jan 1883 Mr. Tennant arrived home last Sunday morning, after being six days on the road. His many friends gave him a warm welcome back. He left the same day for St. Jean Baptiste. 26 Jan 1883-GRAND VICTORY! ---NORQUAY GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED. TENNANT ELECTED-WEST LYNNE AND GAUTHIER DO THEIR DUTY. The battle at the polls commenced early on Tuesday, before the opening of the polls, our streets were bristling with teams. The polls opened at nine, and immediately a stream of voters poured in and recorded their names for Tennant. At 12 o'clock he was 63 ahead of his opponents. The supporters of Tennant worked faithfully and well although they lost a number of votes for want of more complete organization. The town of West Lynne stood by him to a man and a big majority was rolled up at Gauthier by the French Canadian people of St. Joseph and St. Pie. The Marais went solid for Tennant. At the close of the poll the vote stood Tennant; 120; Martin, 6; Wild, 12, and it was almost a certainty Tennant was elected. A large crowd had gathered to hear the result and awaited news from the outlying districts. A number of friends left for St. Jean Baptiste to meet their candidate, At Gauthier, an immense crowd had also gathered to hear the result, which was made known amidst great enthusiasm; and put the question of Tennant's election beyond a doubt, the two records being Tennant 172; Martin 41; Wilde 19. At St. Jean Baptiste Mr. Tennant was met returning from Morris. A count of the votes at the different polling places gave him a total majority of 68. A start was immediately made for West Lynne. A stop was made at Gauthier, Mr. Tennant being loudly called for. He warmly thanked the people of the French reserve for their hearty support, and laughingly referred to the solitary vote he got frog Morris, and stated that although he did not have their support he would work for Morris and do his duty by them, the same as he would for the people of Gauthier or West Lynne. The result was known to the people in West Lynne at the committee rooms amidst loud cheering. In the evening a large procession of cutters and sleighs drove up at the West Lynne hotel torches were then produced' and lighted. The successful candidate was called and supported by the following gentlemen: Messrs Robt. Johnston, F. Morgan, R. Ross, G. Peacock and Wm. Mills, they took their seats in the vehicle provided, the band struck up a lively tune as the procession moved off. The glare of the torches gave the streets a brilliant appearance. After driving through the principal streets a visit was paid to Emerson. The wind-up took place at the Riverside hotel. A number of speeches were given by the following gentlemen; Messrs Robt. Johnston, G. Peacock. F. T. Bradley, Wm. Mills, F. Morgan W. B. Robertson and others. A large bonfire was lighted in front of the hotel by the proprietor F. Morgan. The results from other parts of the province were also made known amidst universal rejoicing. MORRIS TENNANT MARTIN WILDE West Lynne 120 6 12 Gauthier 58 35 7 St. J.

A sad drowning accident happened yesterday at St. Boniface, by which Frederick Tennant, a boy attending school at St. Boniface College lost his life.

The body was recovered shortly afterwards. He was a bright boy of between 12 and 13 years of age. The child's father is customs house officer at Coutts, Alberta and is at present ignorance of the fate of his child. |
